That made me laugh. :p

*ahem* ;)

I agree with Garygaz in that, why should taxpayer's money go towards feeding and sheltering these criminals when, given the choice, they can just end their lives through consent. On the other hand, it is hardly a deterrent. I would like to entertain the thought that these people, excluding...

True that. :)

Getting results is scary. :p

Their traditional culture fails according to the imperial benchmark. It's an external criteria that is being imposed onto an entirely different civilisation. Of course, introducing colonisation into the picture, and changing the social template will mean that their traditional culture would...

Iron this is rhetoric. It has been pointed out that the nature of homosexuality and alcoholism are extremely different. I'd like to take a different spin: consider Catholicism and homosexuality in comparison to one another. Catholicism is a self professed truth for its adherents, such as...

I suppose that argument can be summarised by the need for the separation of the Church and the state. I think the issue with gays is that it is a relatively novel phenomenon discerned by society at large. It has existed prior to more recent times, but it lacked the benefit of social discussion...

hey hey gurmeister (:

But by the same token I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than a good selective school. :p

Sweeeeet. Finished. (: The experience of the trials has been relatively stress free, of course, until you get the marks back. Which I'm anticipating, happens next week. - sighs -

Lol what award?

Macho and super cocky, understanding little in notable issues so thanks, stop. .... I hope you see it. ;)

Oh so sweet, just one more exam left. This being said the math extension 2 paper at my school was very difficult. Totally owned. Did everyone do the CSSA chemistry paper or something here?

Rethinking this, and considering what a strong pacifist AlleyCat is, I think I belong in the 'Yes - with caveats and qualms etc' category. Given how unjustified the previous wars were, such as the recent Iraq war and that in Vietnam, and imperialist methods in the 19th century and prior to...

Haha. :D

So true. It's capitalism; it sells. It's like those Supre outlets selling 'anti-whaling' shirts - incongruous to say the least. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2377/2256966396_7bc3d09168.jpg?v=0 Naturally, consumerism desensitises the issue. At any rate, we're pitched in a society that's about...

. It is really futile to point out the logical flaw of your reasoning. I will thus desist from responding to your ad hominem attacks from this point. At any rate I hold the non-interventionism stance according to the political compass.

Great post overall. With regards to the particular section I have quoted above, the problem is that we subjectively distinguish between 'just' and 'unjust' wars. (also a problem of semantics) Even though I am a pacifist, I will openly admit that I don't advocate appeasement either. "It is...

I absolutely agree with this. It is counterproductive and largely a scheme for us to 'assuage our guilt' as you aptly refer to it. This runs deeper than just the awareness campaign on a political and environmental level. It is central to the 'fat is beautiful', 'we're all unique and individual'...
