    Personally, I don't think there are enough threads on this BBS that either start out or degenerate into a "discussion" of abortion. Can't wait for the next one. [​IMG]

    I somewhat agree, but do not think I could ever read it. Too morbid, I guess. But it would definitely be a good thing for other people to read, if they so desired.


    Gascon,

    Agreed. I didn't want to do it...but was tricked dammit!!!! [​IMG]
    Sorry. [​IMG]

    That's good to hear, because I've been reading about all the layoffs in Austin as of late. Scary stuff. It's happened to me in the past, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

    "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." --Emerson.

    Perhaps if all of your beliefs can be easily described as 'consistent', you've not put enough thought into them.

    I think there are very good reasons to be both anti-abortion and pro-death penalty. For you to pretend as though anyone who thinks that way is a fool guided only by ulterior motives-- that's not very constructive. If you continue to search only for ostensibly logical constructs you can use to dismiss the beliefs of people you disgree with rather than exploring those beliefs, you're never going to grow as a person.

    And you're never going to understand one-one hundredth as much as you think you do.

    Yes, I know I'd feel much better after I turned the key that locked him into a small prison cell for the rest of his life.

    Knowing I'd deprived him of basically everything that makes life worth living-- everything that makes a human a human-- I could do that and then go eat a steak. That wouldn't bother me at all.

    Les Alexander would have had a hard time guarding Patrick Ewing in the 1994 NBA Finals. That's why he paid Hakeem to do it.

    Damn good thing, BK. Once ol' Michael cuts you loose during the next round of "Layoffs ala Round Rock", there just might be a position for a career-oriented individual like yourself up in Huntsville.

    But if you go, don't eat at Lulu's Diner...they serve squirrel in there! [​IMG]
