...the death penalty, death with dignity or abortion rights?

I’m not saying that I’m a believer in any of these things but I’m just curious as to whether anyone else can see or appreciate the irony of these concepts in relation to each other. I’d be truly curious to hear what your reasoning is, if indeed you do believe in life after death (or reincarnation) and yet don’t believe in either the death penalty or abortion rights. I understand the appreciation for the value of life, but if there is something after this than why (in the case of death with dignity) forestall that which will inevitably happen, supplicate leniency on those condemned to die or cause the needless suffering of one more life for a family that cannot support one more child or worse.

I’m not trying to challenge your beliefs, merely playing devils advocate. For I believe in life first above all else, I just wish to know where you stand and how you came to that decision. I will also respect all views as well.

Is is possible to drink all of the ocean?

Just to state that My question has been troubling me for ages, I always wondered if it is possble for one man to consume an entire ocean of water, I know that some of you may say this is not possible due to the volume of our stomaches, but I have noticed on occasion I have drank ofer 4 litres of water and not rid my body of it, if you were to drink fast enough, could a man drink the ocean, please debate this.

If God does not exist then why do I? Why do you?

I'm serious. Have you ever had a moment when you realized there was no reason that you should not have died. What stopped you from walking off the curb at the wrong moment? Why did you stop at a Green light only to have a speeding car careen through the intersection where you would have been if you hadn't stopped? When you answer think about the close calls you've had in your life. I'm not trying to convince you that God exists. I'm just asking if he dosen't then why am I still here? Why are you?

Any Thomas Wolfe fans out there?

I think Thomas Wolfe was one of the greatest American writers to ever live, and a positive genius. Does anyone else think he is terribly underappreciated? "Look Homeward, Angel" is probably my favorite novel of all time.

Does Video games really effect ppl, other than just playing?

its in my belief that video games dont have any effect on ppl, as much as people in their family does, and as I watch a re-run a the daily show with Jon Stewart and his bit on the senate attacking video games confirmed the fact, one of the senators said he was watching his six year old children play these video games and was horrifided by the game, the key word was watching. so where do you all stand on the subject
