Beware of false definitions; A Gusty is full of them.
February 27, 2018 at 13:29
You are talking nonsense. Jesus and all his followers were under the Lex Romana. Jesus' silence speaks volumes.
February 27, 2018 at 13:25
I'm not saying that. What I would suggest is that even the mentally ill have political interests, and their voice is as valid as any one else. Passing...

Murder is not justified. I think you mean justified homicide.

1) Judea was a ROMAN province and hence was under the lex Romana. 2) Jesus said NOTHING against either abortion or infanticide. 3) Run along now pleas...
February 27, 2018 at 13:19
Please quote your sources anytime you feel able. Despite infanticide and abortion being permitted under the law, Jesus was COMPLETELY mute on the topi...
February 27, 2018 at 12:39
There is absolutely NO contradiction here. Abortion, infanticide and abandonment of unwanted children was common in Jesus' time. He made NO pronouncem...

Age is not entirely arbitrary as you imply with your comment. Age of consent, although a blunt instrument means that a a five year old cannot legally ...

If they cannot measure the ability to do the test; what chance has it got of measuring intelligence. LOL! IQ tests are sexist, ethnocentric and only m...

("Contest" I think you mean) But you have no grounds. A woman's body is not yours to violate with your personal moral stance.
February 26, 2018 at 20:51
False analogy. We are talking about abusing the rights of a woman who may not wish to carry a foetus just because YOU decide she should. The legal kil...
February 26, 2018 at 20:49
It's nothing to do with you, what a woman does with her own body. Forcing her to carry a foetus is a right you do not have.
February 26, 2018 at 20:46
Have you, or anyone on this thread, asked WHY is it that in a country that has a 'right to bear arms', that these arms are banned from public ownershi...
February 26, 2018 at 18:03
I think you are confusing the police with the medical profession if you think they ought to do no harm.
February 26, 2018 at 17:55
Arbitrary. The fertilised egg, and the foetus that it evolves toward is a property of the body that contains it, and it is only through her effort and...
February 26, 2018 at 17:52
Wrong! You have stumbled at the first hurdle. There is no point trying to get this rather clumsy straw man into the thread.
February 26, 2018 at 17:47
Indeed. IQ does not measure intelligence. It measures the ability to do the test.

Believe Nothing; seek to know

I think you have the sense of it. Marx views economic history as a deterministic process making individuals near to powerless; that for any given inst...

Bump stock. Shit stock. No person can have any legitimate reason for owning or using such a weapon.
February 25, 2018 at 17:18
Total croc of shit.
February 25, 2018 at 14:25
So are you also in favour of people having bombs??? LOL Like I said: You are making a fool of yourself.
February 25, 2018 at 14:24
It's a bullshit fact. Here's why.. People with automatic weapons tend to be capable of exterminating several children quite easily. People without gun...

Just making a fool of yourself

If you want to be taken seriously don't quote the Daily Fail. They are top of the list for reporting inaccuracies in the UK.
February 24, 2018 at 23:22
I wonder if any one has the mental capacity to imagine a country that has a legal test for such a thing as mental capacity to disqualify a community o...

It is of vital importance that every adult feels they have a stake in society and that none are excluded for arbitrary reasons. And thus it should be ...

Even the ubermensch is a complete slave to his bollocks. Men have a daily urge to spread their seed and much of the time women get pretty bored with b...
February 17, 2018 at 16:01
No boredom is just evidence of a lack of imagination.
February 17, 2018 at 15:56
This is deduction. not only is it NOT induction but it is wrong, indcutively "Swans" are what we call some birds. There is no natural law defining hum...

No one would be able to navigate through that mess of cloth to impregnant her?

There is more craft, skill and sensitivity on this tiny part of the Caravaggio than on all the other posted images thus far. https://www.pinterest.co....
February 17, 2018 at 15:38
This is just the ordinary failing of any artist who tends to base their idea of what a face is upon the thing they see in the mirror. There is nothing...

The light is sublime, in that Caravaggio.

Is the hedge significant to Obama? Maybe because he spent 8 years hedging his bets?

Calvin thought this was rubbish. If you are a Calvinist Protestant there is no problem. But you have to accept that God knew before he created you tha...

A predilection to have sex. So what? That's 99% of the male population.
February 14, 2018 at 22:41
I think this just about covers it. In a case where there was evidence, a professional would be bound to declare a conflict of interest and recuse hims...

My I just draw attention to this sentence, for those moralists hiding their jealousy with scorn.

Nonsense terminology. You are not procuring, not even holding the condoms.

Bottom feeding jargon. His works float between expressionism and quasi realism. No where near hyper.
