  1. If I find out that that Wes Anderson regular did indeed attempt to commit suicide, well, I
  2. Here is a clearer explanation of Singer's view - from the horses mouth - so to speak. "When a woman has an abortion, the fetus is alive, and it is undoubtedly human
  3. The problem with your retort - who decides when life begins? Who decides when an unthinking, unfeeling fetus becomes a fully functional, lucid, self aware human? Can you, with any amount of certainty, inform us as to when, exactly, that occurs? Due to time constraints
  4. As someone who feels that the current framing of the abortion debate is a little ridiculous, I think this snippet in the essay "Authority and American Usage," by David Foster Wallace is an especially thoughtful well balanced, reasonable postion to take: This reviewer is thus, as a private citizen and an autonomous agent, both Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. Given our best present medical and philosophical understandings of what makes something not just a living organism but a person, there is no way to establish at just what point during gestation a fertilized ovum becomes a human being.

  5. This thread has some real heat generating potential
  6. Did we just agree on something - ? - I think we just agreed on something. Once I get over the shock - you can pretty much bet there are going to be tears - of joy of course. Agreed.
  7. Why not compromise and simply sit in the pit? Huh? Huh? Why don't cha - huh?

  10. Discard the list of work invites, assholes all of them, every last one of them
  11. I think there is now a pill available to remove any and all anxiety and/or doubt related to the prescribed use of SSRI-like drugs. I
  12. Bill Murray should be canonized, memorialized or like, offered up to the Vatican for Sainthood consideration or something or other. I love that man.
  13. I would like to echo Atticus's no disrespect statement, and I would like to add that I dropped a testicle when I read that.
  14. The entire cast of Empire Records should be excised for consideration.
  15. Anton Chigurh is a bad man. McCarthy is a hero of sorts - to me. If you havent already, you must read Blood Meridian and The Road. Reading On the Road and The Road simultaneously would actually be quite interesting, sort of a before and after - hopefully, way way after. It would certainly make the existential, sort of self involved spleening of one Mr. Kerouac sound somewhat silly by comparison.
  16. Ummm...I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding, that's not David Cross, that's Allen Ginsberg. Ok and so but seriously, the resemblence is remarkable. Thanks for the link.
