I dont think killing a child molester in prison has much to do with morality. The kind of thugs that you get in jail who are willing to kill a guy see child abuse like that as sick and wrong. They dont give a second thought to the mental health angle and violently lash out.

Response to: Renewable Energy Posted March 10th, 2008 in Politics

I have to disagree. As has been said, most renewable sources arent viable for providing 100% of the power needed by the population yet, and nuclear could be an effective stopgap. So long as research into alternative fules continues, why not use Nuclear to take up the slack and ease pressure on coal oil and gas plants.

The radioactive waste products could be stored (and I do mean stored, not abandoned) in underground fortified bunkers in uninhabited / uninhabitable locations pending discovery of an adequate disposal method.

If the risk of MUF is too great, tighten security in plant and in convoy. Meltdowns and reactor scares I dont really see as a massive threat. IIRC it only takes about 10 seconds to completely shut down the fission reaction in an emergency situation.

I think theres so much opposition to nuclear because people see the steam rising from nuclear cooling stacks and think "OMFG T3H RADIOATIVZ IS IN T3H AIR!". If you actually explained to folk that thats steam, nothing more nothing less but steam, theyd probably calm down.

Life is dangerous. Stay in the non-smoking areas. And if you're getting a job in a smoky bar, be aware that whatever the minor risks of passive smoking are are applying to you at work before you get the job, just like if you're getting a job as a welder, expect to get burnt occasionally.

Smokers arent smoking all the time. So therefore they can go to non smoking bars and nip out for a fag when they like. Non smokers (by the above logic) are restricted to non smoking bars because they cant nip outside to breathe unpolluted air. And smoke isnt noted for its respect of the smoking / non smoking boundary.

Im actually fairly glad all the new laws came in. Its nice to go to a bar and not come home smelling like an ashtray.
Go to non-smoking bars. You don't need the government to decide what happens in other people's businesses. Walk around the bars in Rochdale in Manchester, England and everyone is standing outside having a cigarette - as many people outside as inside, the business didn't want the change, and the government forced it upon them. Some family bar might opt for a non-smoking policy; indeed many did, and if a bar knows its customers want it non-smoking then they'll make it non-smoking, and everybody wins. That's the joy of the market economy - that's the whole point of it.

Yes. Ill go to Manchester for a pint. I was only able to drink in smoky bars for a short time before the anti smoking laws kicked in in Scotland. During the time when you were still allowed to smoke indoors i did not come across one non smoking bar in the whole city. even if there was one that I knew nothing about, Id be forced to sit there listening to whatever bubblegum crap was in the charts at the moment rather than in a rock bar where Id rather be.

I dont get the fuss about having to walk all of 20 feet to have a cigarette.

Thats another one. The old "repent and it will be forgiven" chestnut. So you kill someone. Say accidentally in a fight that gets out of hand. A Christian by that logic is immediately absolved because he's sorry he did it, thus alleviating his guilt. Theretically theres nothing to stop serial killers getting into heaven if they feel bad after every kill. And its not that unlikely.

An atheist however, kills a person (in the accidental fight) and feels crushing guilt for it. Threres no reward of the celestial grandad in the sky giving you a hug and saying "its all right. no harm done". You need to live with your actions with no reprieve.

Also, whats with all the mud slinging. I used to post on the politics forum a lot and it seems like the insults fly a lot more thickly now!

I mean being a christian myself, what we belive in basically boils down to if you live a responsible, honest life, you will be rewarded with Heaven the place of eternal bliss, if not then you are punished in Hell, the eternal place of agony. However being athiest, there is no consequences for your actions on earth. No matter how good or bad you are, once you die, thats it.
I'm not trying to start a christian vs. athiest hate-fest, I'm just wanting to know if this is in fact, one of the reasons for being an athiest?

So you live your life by the theological Carrot and Stick? How can you have free will when youve already decided that if you go slightly wrong youre going to burn for all eternity. I really want to see an acceptance of the satnce that Morality =/= Religion.

im an agnostic. Ill concede that this is all a pretty big coincidence, but so far thats all it is to me. Prove / convince me otherwose and ill gladly become reigious, but dont label me as a thief / adulterer / murderer just because i dont believe in a non specific god deity.

Atheists and agnostics are plenty moral due to an inbuilt sense of whats right and wrong. We dont all need the threat of hell to keep us on the straight and narrow.

One for you animal rights folk Posted February 26th, 2008 in Politics

Should experimental drugs for animals be given to animals?

If no then youre saying that animals suffering from a treatable disease should either continue to suffer or die. Doesnt seem to be very fair to the animal. Continuing its suffering because you want to withold drug testing.

If yes then youre saying that there is at least one exception to the no testing rule. The drugs are given to one sick animal and the benefits passed on to the greater animal population.

I realise that a similar analogy would be giving experimental human drugs to sick humans, but the point Im trying to get across is that there is at least one hole in the no testing POV.

Thoughts?

Response to: Are humans hardwired for war? Posted February 26th, 2008 in Politics

Well males of any species tend to be quite agressive and will fight for territory / food etc. You can put humans into a civilisation but then they just set about 'civilising' the fighting.

Id say the latent agression inherint in humans makes us hardwired for fighting. War is something else though; its more than carnal one on one fighting. Individuals probably arent wired to war, but nations and collectives are.

Oh I don't know, perhaps the fact that they dressed her up and designed her proportions to fit that of a small child from the 60's rights movement during that "caricature?" The fact that they made her look like a 300 pounds muscle mass in military fatigues in that other "caricature?"

Either you have a very broad definition of what defines a caricature, or you need your eyes checked. I'm guessing it's more the latter than anything.

"A caricature is either a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the essence of a person or thing..."

The essence of one role is that she is standing in shoes she cant fill, where the 300 lb bruiser would look stupid, and the other is showing a satirisation saying that America presents itself as quite agressive to the world.

Different political points require different features from the caricature.

Response to: How would other countries react? Posted February 25th, 2008 in Politics

Has to be said I agree with Humbucker740. I dont see that caricature of Rice as racist; its just how caricatures are. They exaggerate promenent features. Like Tony Blairs ones always had a HUGE grin. Prince Charles always has massive ears. Dubyah has tiny eyes.

The one of Rice is exaggerating personal features, not putting in the stereotypical black caricature features.

That kind of brings up the point that if gay men raising a child is wrong, then how is a single man or single mother any different?

Because thats the society we have today. Single parenting is becoming more and more acceptable.

Plus the situation is different bacuse (presumably) the missing parent was the opposite sex to the remaining one. Therefore its a broken hetro relationship, not a homosexual one.
