". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth...

That is a good example of an ethical gray area. And this is where we depart from morals proper and get into social norms and the like. When a person is old enough for sex is to an extent dictated by one's culture and circumstances. Years ago when the average life expectancy was 35 and women...

I am begining to reconsider my position on animal intelligence. Evidently a number of posters here do actually take the advise from their pets.

The only thing consistent in all of your posts is the use of "free rolling." Free rolling occurs when a person fails to hold fast to any cohesive logical position and instead just jumps around contradicting the other person ad hoc. You have made numerous statements that simply have no basis...

Wrong. The fallacy fails by way of basic logic. Did you read the piece carefully?

A point of clarification. People often misuse the term morality and have for many years. Morality deals with that which is right and wrong (murder, rape stealing, etc). Ethics deals with that which one should or shouldn't do given the circumstances. Then there are things like social norms...

This essay really cuts to the heart of how Conservatives think about the world as opposed to Liberals. I for one find the question of how good people are made to be the single most important question there is - everything else is mere triviality as so eloquently pointed out below. By Dennis...

It is a scenario that plays out over and over again. A person attempts to discuss an issue and someone invariably brings moral relativism into it. In fact, one of the main problems with most people's ability to use logic is that they have been indoctrinated with the fallacy of moral...

Do yourself a favor and don't post lies and slander. I have never uttered a single word of hatred against Gays here or elsewhere. I have very good friends and family members that are gay and I adore them. I am someone who believes that knowing the truth is better for everyone than political...

Animals can not do arithmetic - it is a trick. Although I believe some chimps could out perform you in many tasks. I don't care what your opinion is. Only a being that is aware of its conduct can rightly be referred to as having "sexuality" of any type. I had a parakeet that would try to...

Of course I saw it, though not the opening sceen. And I don't even know why anyone gives a rat's ass about Sarah Palin.

No, I just feel like the guy in the movie.

That makes no sense at all. You do not have to do experiments to produce evidence. There are a number of states that allow Gays to adopt - eventually there will be data. As for the time being, we have a legal standard that Courts use in all cases involving children. The Courts must always...

You need to stop discussing things like this. The whole of science and the whole of human knowledge and understanding is abundantly clear that few animals posses any reasoning skills beyond the most basic. Animals are not self aware and can not contemplate their own existence much less their...

In fact they were. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem as well as many Arab leaders tried to get Hitler to come to the middle East and eliminate all the Jews there.

Can you give specifics? What are the names of the people "massacred"? Do you have evidence of these war crimes? Did you know Arabs have rights in the Israeli Courts? Where are the lawsuits?

Let me get this straight. We have people flooding in from other countries becuase our own citizens choose welfare over work, leaving a wide open job market for illegals. Why not replace welfare with workfair and fill those jobs with our own citizens. Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?

I vote for banning.

You may be right. But as I posted directly above, and as the title of the thread implies, these points are only to make a case for intact families. You are ASSUMING that any of this in any way means as opposed to gay couples. Evidently, you are having trouble comprehending what you are...

See, that is just the type of ignorance that threatens us all. Why is it that you insist on this false dichotomy (look it up) that everyone on the Right are stupid rednecks and everyone on the Left are brilliant and refined? In this forum, people on the right consistently demonstrate a wider...
