I have to get views on euthanasia from the public as part of my Religious Studies assignment. Could you please help me out by posting your views about euthanasia.
-
You first.
-
To clarify: when I think of euthanasia, I think you should go first.
-
Ok, I just realized you might be some kid and I effectively told you to go have someone kill you which I GUESS is kind of mean, so instead I'll answer your question:
I think euthanasia is a terrible necessity. People might disapprove of someone taking their own life (with assistance or not), but ultimately that person is the one subjectively experiencing their pain, and no one has should have the right to force someone to keep suffering if that person can consciously and of sound mind decide that they no longer want to live. Our bodies are our own.
This of course presupposes the person making the decision to die is in a sound mental state and old enough to understand what they're doing. Context would be critical.
-
I'm all for pre-emptive euthanasia. Kill them before they become old and curmudgeonly.
-
Living will.
-
You first.
I think euthanasia is OK, as long as it is controlled and people don't just use it as a way to get rid of family members that are becoming a burden.
-
I will applaud you for responding to my silliness as if it was a real comment and not taking offense at the things I said afterward!

So do you plan on erecting any supports?

Especially when they wear sailor uniforms.

This one falls into my staunchly pro-choice agenda. I would not personally partake, but it is certainly the right of the individual to decide when they want to give up and take the big dirt nap, just like it's a woman's choice to get an abortion and a man's choice to pay for said procedure as an alternative to 18 years of child support, but I'm also for gender and racial equality in the truest sence of the term.
Sufferage killed chivalry and all that noise.

Question: Man wants an abortion, is willing to pay for it. Woman says no. Does the "right to chose" then benefit only the woman?
-
I think so... but in that situation I think the man should not be responsible for the baby after it is born.
You're saying a man who made a baby with a women can free himself of all responsibility just by wanting an abortion and the willingness to pay for said abortion?
Clearly that's what you're saying but I'm just surprised to hear it, I guess.
-
Seriously. You do the crime, you gotta do the time.
-
I'm all for retro-active abortion. Shall I give you a list of names?
-
Yes, that is what I'm saying. It doesn't seem strange to me, I guess my opinions on things are just bizarre.
No, not particularly, as that's my take on it as well. It is absolutely the woman's right to choose not to have the abortion, as it is the man's right not to have to pay child support if he has already offered to pay for the abortion. The woman should not expect child support, just as the man should not expect visitation rights, nor should he be listed on the birth certificate.
Gender equality means just that, equality. Just because you're male doesn't mean that family services should treat you like a villain.
I also think that violators of visitation rights should be harshly punished, as opposed to applauded... but that's a discussion for another thread.
-
I keep thinking about the asshole who gets a girl pregnant and then, knowing full well she does not plan on having an abortion, offers to pay for the abortion so he can get off the hook.
-
I feel like we're skating on thin ice here so I don't want to say anything more.
Welcome to the abortion topic in general.

Where is the 'miniature American flags for others' thread?

Isn't this about euthanasia? Anyway, just to the devil's advocate, I think it would be a good comprimise for both sides to say euthanasia acceptable, however it must be euthanasia via anal sex. You'd have to really want it.

Who are we to play God and let you die?
Or is it who are we to play God and let you keep living?
Damn you Terri Schiavo! I'm taking my toys and playing at home!
-
So if you're an Atheist - does that mean you can't have a problem with things euthanasia without being a hypocrite?
I dunno... I'm all for invoulentary euthanasia for stupid people. Carried out by me... with a megaphone and my face-stabbing knife.

How do we know god is real?
-
Cause it says so in the Bible.
Duh.
-
How do we know god is real?
Because I just replied to your ignorant post peasant!
-

Why shouldn't atheists value life? Why shouldn't we, in fact, value life more than believers? I think we do.
If you had a dollar, and you knew that if you lost that dollar you would never get another one, wouldn't you value that dollar more than someone who has been promised an infinite supply of dollars?
-
I value life. But I value some more than others.
-
what if we all go to hell? if that's the case, we had better stay alive as long as possible, even if it's as a vegetable.
-
What if being forced to stay alive indefinitely as a vegetable IS hell?
-
If it is, I'm guessing it's broccoli.
-
The smell gives it away.
-
In Soviet Russia, broccoli was rarely seen.
Hell is a potato, or, if you are lucky, a turnip.
-
Of course.
I'm a kapusta-head for not having thought of that.
-
Beets me.
-
Keep thinking, you're bound to turnip something.
-
Not nesecelery.
-
You guys, bad puns make me artichoke.
-
Peas, lettuce squash this thread.
-
If not to squash it, then perhaps to totally eradishcate it.
-
You're out of your gourd.
-
That may be, but yours was hardly a very elegant compost either...
-
Don't stop now -- we're on a escarole!
-
Hi, Ivan! Where have you bean hiding?
-
Not hiding -- just ran out for a second to take a leek.
-
Oh, I thought you were in the living room watching cardoons.
-
Oh don't let him fool you. Ivan's been sitting at his computer all day, downloading corn.
-
I know he endives right into that stuff.
-
Well hey... who's NOT enjoying a little cornography once in a while? I know I yam...
-
You better make sure it's legal corn, our you'll get collard by the law.
-
Yup. And then the governmint will make you do hard thyme.
-
... even if you were only a spec-tater.
-
You guys, this whole game is ludicress.
-
It's pretty chard to think up more with which to pepper this thread.
-
I know, it's getting radicchioulous.
-
OIGNONS LOL!!!
I mean.. COCKS LOL!!!
No... Bah... I mint to post something funny...
-
Haha! That was grape!
-
COCKS LOL!!!
How
RUDE I BEG YA
to stop.
-
Haha! That was grape!
LOL! TheJudge is so behind on currant events! :lol:
-
Indeed. I romaine at a disadvantage.
-
Looking bok, choyce has always been an option.
-
But this thread is about faith and religion. There is no choyce!
Lettuce pray.
-
Lettuce pray
Lettuce pray
Every where and every way
Every moment of every day
It is the right thyme
-
Spoken like a true sage.
-
Who ever started this shit should appleogize.
-
I know, it's awful. We really need to get to the root of this problem.
-
I think it branched off of another thread.
-
Ok, if we're going to allow general flora puns, it may be time to truncate this thread. In any case, you can leaf me out of this.
-
Great. Someone had to go and soil this thread. I hadn't realized we had been 'arboring any pun fugitives.
-
This thread is no fun any more.
How many times have we done this?
Egads! I'm sick of it, and I'll bet most of you are sick of these threads as well.
Luckily, I have a solution. It's simple. Just make a post... without a pun.
A PUNLESS POST!
Realistically speaking, we can't expect every post from now on to be pun-free, but surely we can all manage at least one.
Can you do it? Can any of you make even one post in this thread without resorting to some cheap-ass form of word-play involving plants?
Humor me, please. This is serious.
-
Nope.
I tried really hard to think of a way.
But my mind is completely hempty.
-
... what?
-

Don't call me Shirley.

-
Crow no.

I don't know. Bird puns can be pretty hard to swallow..
-
Chicken!
-
Stop that. :x
My distaste for bird puns should not lead to you robin me of my dignity!
-
When it comes to bird puns, wing it.
-
I for one refuse to partridgicipate.
-
Nice swan!
-
Anyway, we should really stop. It's getting anoying. I'll refrain from using bird puns from heron out.
-
I think I'll duck out of this one.
-
If nobody's going to play, owl this thread continue?
-
Well, I guess I can join this fowl pun rampage if for no other reason than to see how long we can keep it going.
-
Let that old coot Ivan get another one in. He's slow, but not out of the game.
-
Less than three britoffice! I don't mean to crow about it, but I have the entire series box set.
-
I hope you don't live to egret it.
-
Indeed. That would certainly be unpheasant.
-
But then the pigeons came.
-
Haha!
Will we even see the end dove this thread?
-
This thread is a sham! You've all been rooked!
-

It is, but that's no excuse to go on grousing about it...
-
Yeah, it's not a pissing contest so you can put that pecker away.
