1/22 Money for Mars mission, yay or nay?
\_ Should the Spanish have spent tons of the government/
kingdom's money to set voyage to explore uncharted waters and
lands (America)?
\_ the Spanish could reasonably have expected that uncharted lands
had riches for them to exploit. We already know Mars is a
barren rock.
\_ Bullshit. We don't even know if it has water on it or not.
We know more about the fungus between your toes.
\_ like saying we don't know if the mojave has water or not
\_ Uh? What? We know all about the mojave, we know
almost nothing about Mars. What are you talking about?
\_ But it might have OIL!!
\_ That's a complicated question. The Spanish had huge problems
with their overseas holdings, went bankrupt a few times due
to the inflation caused by all the gold they plundered, etc.
Even leaving morals aside, conquering stuff isn't always the
best thing to do for a country. -- ilyas
\_ No problem, just don't have a 'mars rock' based economy.
As of this date it doesn't appear there will be any natives
to exploit so there's no morals issue.
\_ Sure there is. Whenever public money's used for something,
you need to make a moral case for it. Also, it's not
really about the gold. Expanding the country is just like
expanding the economy, it has to be done 'organically' or
you get counterproductive results, like inflation or
revolts or whatever. In the case of Mars I don't even
see a non-scientific reason to go. Personally, I think
there are better ways to explore space than NASA (and
better ways to spend government money than NASA).
-- ilyas
\_ You don't need a morals case to spend public money. You
need a "public good" or "national good" case to spend
public money. Or you should, anyway. You don't see a
non-scientific reason to go? Neith do I. I think the
scientific reasons alone are reason enough. I agree
that NASA may not be the right place to spend the money,
but we should continue the/a space program. Putting
everyone on the dole is not in the public's best
interests and certainly immoral. See the Indian
Reservations for how that works out (or not).
\_ "Public good" is a (utilitarian) moral argument. A
lot of people, btw, will disagree with this sort of
argument for spending public money, either because
they themselves are not utilitarian, or because they
think 'the public' cannot have a good. As for
"we should" go to Mars, I might as well say
"we shouldn't" with equal force. "We should" is not
an argument. -- ilyas
\_ The argument 'for' is the advancement of science,
the possibility of getting access to new materials
or energy sources, and the value that tech can
bring to everyone to increase quality of life
for the entire human race. I see the argument
'against' as "let's just keep wasting limited
resources doing the same thing over and over until
we can't do it anymore and we all starve and run
out of energy. Feel free to present your own
version of the 'against' argument.
\_ There is nothing utilitarian or moral about
the term "public good" in economics. The term
refers to items for which it is generally not
possible to restrict the benefits only to the
payer. Some examples are national defense,
preventing disease epidemics, and emergency
services (police, fire, ambulance, etc.). Since
market mechanisms are not efficient for
allocating resources to such goods, there is
a good economic argument for paying for these
with "public money" such as taxes. -!op
\_ the life of a few is worth sacraficing for the
the life of many. or something like that.
\_ which has what to do with the way welfare has
utterly destoyed what was left of the Indians?
\_ Military intervention, landgrabbing by the US govt.,
discriminatory business practices, and outright
fraud and theft legitimized by a racist judiciary
is responsible for the devastation of the Indigenous
Americans and their ghettoization on the
Reservations. Welfare has raised some people out
of the borderline starvation they were in. Don't
blame the victims, George Armstrong.
\_ You're in the wrong century. Once on the
reservations and being completely "taken care of"
by the government, those on the reservations were
essentially destroyed as a viable people. Entire
generations were lost to Indian "welfare". And
really, stop with the "Indigenous" crap. If you
ever met one, you'd know they prefer "Indian" all
alone without the PC shit confusing things, if
you don't know their exact tribal affiliation.
\_ How do you think they got on the Reservations?
What do you think the conditions were like
before welfare for the tribes? They had to
rely on handouts from missionaries. Welfare,
while certainly not perfect, gave some people
on the Res. space to concentrate on more than
where the next meal was coming from. Next,
I know self-described Indians, Native
Americans, Amerindians, and Indigenous
Americans. That I choose to use the last one
is my choice. I wasn't blasting your choice of
language, so stop being such a sensitive
prick.
\_ Before welfare? Missionaries? You think
missionaries supported millions of
Indians at some point? I blasted your
word choice because it's PC garbage. The
welfare reservation handout system has
destroyed the tribes. It was the last
step required to genocide them as a people.
\_ The nail was already in the coffin.
Welfare is not perfect, but it did
prevent starvation. Much better, of
course, is the gaming money and the
recognition of sovereignty on the
tribal lands. And as for being PC,
fuck you, hater, and your honkey-ass
cracker vocabulary.
\_ I think he was blaming welfare, not the Indians.
\_ money will be spent on scientists and on manufacturers (most
likely in the U.S. soil), hence will create jobs and must be
good. Bush is brilliant. Go Bush!
\_ I'm sure you'd prefer to believe that the money is more
likely to create jobs if spent on welfare.
\_ A chicken in every pot, an ethernet cable in every
butthole.
\_ An excellent plan. Free net for every whore will
create jobs, so long as the whores become a public
resource.
\_ But yermom is already a pubic resource.
\_ She doesn't charge so she isn't a whore but you
do have to line up behind tom for your shots

1/23 cool. answer some questions, the site determines which
candidates you agree most with:
http://www.presidentmatch.com/Main.jsp2?cp=main
\_ That survey gave me 100% on a candidate who i disagree with on
several issues, as measured by *their* tally. Is crap.
\_ I agree.
\_ cf. http://www.vote-smart.org
\_ Me and Joe L. matching at 100%, 94% Edwards, 90% Kerry and 86% Bush
which just goes to show they're not all that different afterall.
Even got a 67% with Kucinich who I think was always just clutter
and 69% with Sharpton who never should have had any press at all.
Poor Joe, I actually do think he's a good guy, but he was so stupid
to give deference to a scumbag like Gore. If Joe had balls I might
actually be a supporter.
\_ rofl i support kucinich who???
\_ Kucinich 100% w00t!
\_ Yeah I also got 100% Kucinich. It's hard to avoid "no opinion"
on some of the issues. I'm not sure what I think on healthcare.
Getting the deficit and debt under control is probably more
important to me than all the other crap. I might actually be
a conservative at heart but I hate most actual republicans.
\_ Kerry 100%, Bush 27%.
\_ Sharpton 100%, Bush 14% (is it sad that I wasn't trying?)
\_ hahaha, it gives me Kucinich 100%, Dean 90%, Clark 87%,
Bush 13%
\_ That site is just wrong. I'm conservative yet it rates me
wanting Democrats. Dean and Sharpton over Bush. How wrong.
\_ What issues are you conservative on? How much did you prioritize
them over the issues you're liberal on? If you're a libertarian
sort of republican, it's not surprising your views don't mesh
Bush.
\_ Many of Bush's supporters are simply too stupid to realize
his views and policies don't fit with their own.
\_ how ignorant of you. The problem is with their
calculations, not with Bush supporters.
\_ Their calculations are based on what you stated as
your positions, and what Bush states as his. Why don't
you tell us which of Bush's positions they
misrepresent?
\_ You can tell that there are serious problems with this site just
by how it lists Bush as having served in the military. True,
but not really.
\_ heh, I agree. Although if Bush was a reservist today deployed
for a year in Iraq, then I'd see it. |

\_ how? But do I have to drive 45 minutes to look for parking?
\_ Once again, be more specific. Near Soda? Near Haas pavilion?
If it's near Soda, I'd find free parking on Ridge or LeConte
streets within a couple blocks. Of course, if there's an event
at The Greek, that probably won't work.
\_ eh, i think you need a permit to park on those streets.
there are parking meters in front of soda tho.

without a permit on weekends now. Excpet meters, that
you have to feed on Saturdays.

1/23 US fought the first Gulf War to help Kuwait defend its sovereignty.
So how come US can continue to violate Iraq's sovereignty given that
it has found no evidence of WMD or terrorist activities?
\_ It's never about sovereignty, son. The first golf war was to
prevent Iraq control 36% of world's total oil output. We never
cared about Kuwaiti people, nor does the Kuwaiti Royal Family
for that matter.
\_ That is just one factor. The first gulf war is when
international law, people of Kuwait's interest, and US's
interest are in alignment. Unfortunately, in the second
gulf war, international law is not our our side, and
whether it's in the US's interest and whether it's in the
people of Iraq's interest are highly debatable. It is in
the Bush admin's interest though. You have much to learn, boy.
\_ "international law was not on our side". since there is no
such thing, it is hard to say if it was or not. there are
competing views on this point from reliable people on both
sides of this. The 2nd GW was certainly in the Iraqi people's
interests as long as you're not one of the Sunnis who was
getting along just fine at the expense of the Shiites and
Kurds. You mave much to learn, son.
\_ Why don't you ask Pentagon hawk, Richard Perle, who said:
"I think in this case international law stood in the
way of doing the right thing." As for the existence
of international laws, try <DEAD>www.un.com<DEAD> -> english ->
international laws. Even Perle understood that there
are international laws and the US invasion of Iraq is
illegal. As for whether it is "doing the right
thing", it's highly debatable. You have much to
learn, boy.
\_ I thought I'd replied to this, but I guess not since it
was the same as the rest. 1) Richard Perle doesn't
speak for me or anyone else important. 2) As I said
every other time you bring up this nonsense, if there
is no enforcement there is no law. And slapping "boy"
at the end of your posts doesn't add anything to your
case. You're still naive and ignorant even though you
pretend otherwise. After a dozen times we've gone over
this you are still incapable of telling me how those
"international laws" get enforced. Because they don't
and can't be. No enforcement = no law. I should just
save this to a file and paste it back in everytime your
silly little ass comes on here with worthless URLs to
the UN website. You never have anything new to say
because there's nothing more you can say. There's no
international law. There are a *lot* of international
suggestions, hints, and advice.
\_ Well you did reply to it, at least you tried.
No, law is law. Enforcement is enforcement.
If say commie China invaded some small country
on its border today, it broke international law
irregardless of whether anyone dared to send an
army to chase it out. Your silly ass no perfect
enforcement means no law argument is bogus.
As for slapping "boy", it's just to counter the
use of "son". Your protest against my use of
"boy" without also mentioning the use of "son"
thus exposes you again as the hypocritical
silly ass that you are.
\_ Nice try at a back handed compliment on line one.
I only used 'son' to show you how stupid you look
putting "boy" on the end of every one of your
cut'n'paste posts. As far as the actual topic
goes: China would not be in violation of anything
if they were to invade a neighbor. Law without
any enforcement mechanism is silly. It's the
same idea as when Bush gets attacked for making
the "No Child Left Behind" act but not putting
any funding into it. There's no reason to respect
a "law" which has no enforcement mechanism. If
you'd like to say "oh boo hoo! the law was broken,
woe unto the the earth and all peace loving good
peoples!" go right ahead, it doesn't matter what
you whine about who 'broke' what pseudo-law when
there's nothing anyone can or will do about it,
especially when your 'laws' are, at best, just a
list of rules countries are supposed to more or
less follow BY AGREEMENT, and there's nothing in
any of your 'laws' which says what the punishment
shall be for a violation. There's no internatn'l
legal system, no police, no judges, no cops, no
nothing anyone can or would do to even a second
rate nation, such as France, much less to a Hyper
Super Power like the U.S. It's silly and naive to
talk about violations like that. The obvious
response is always, "So what? Go do something
about it". And the fact that no one can, would,
or even wants to is what makes International Law
and the violation of said myth the farce that it
is.
\_ the only "competing view" is GW supporters in the US.
Everone else in the world knows US broke international
law.
\_ You're right. We should just walk away and let it fall to total
anarchy. Then assholes like you would be here saying "why did
we leave the poor Iraqis to their fate? We should have stayed

point remains: the poster is a hypocrite and a troll
and you've done nothing to refute that in any way.
\_ So you are saying that any country can invade any other
country by first making false accusations, then invading,
and then saying that they have to stay because if they leave,
since they already destroyed the former regime and its
\_ That's the point. Us broke international law, and
the reason for the war turned out to be based on a lie
and has to be changed to "regime change". If WMD or
terrorists were found, even if democracy and peace
failed, the war would still be justified. Now, we have
20000 Iraqis dead, 500 US soldier killed, thousands of
US soldiers injured, hundreds of bilions of dollars
spent, thousands of Iraqis homes and property destroyed,
and still no WMD. If we can find WMD or at the very
least have a UN mandate, these losses would be
justified, but without them, now it boils down to
the only justification left - whether we can build a
peaceful and democratic Iraq. All the more reason to
put pressure on the administration to do the right
thing instead of throwing Iraqi people's money to
the admin's business and defense cronies. Take this
Ayatollah Sistani problem. If WMD has been found, t
his would be a much smaller problem, but now that
the whole basis of the invasion rests on regime
change, and helping the oppressed Shiites, and now
you have this Sistani mullah whom all the Shiites
seem to adore, and he's ignoring Bremer and
calling for direct elections, there is
very little one can do except try to placate him.
I hope things turned out well, not because of, but
in spite of.
\_ Not finding WMD doesn't make it any harder to clean
up after. It's still a very difficult thing. And as
far as "justifying" all those deaths, lost homes, and
general mayhem in Iraq goes, I don't think the average
Iraqi gives a flying fuck about your "justifications".
That's Western White Boy think. If we rolled in and
found a ton of anthrax on every street corner those
Iraqis would still be dead, injured, homeless, etc, and
not at all agree with your "justification" theory and
be just as pissed off that we're there. Sistani would
still be there as before and we'd still have the same
mess to clean up. It would just be harder, not easier,
because of the resources we'd have to divert to WMD
clean up. You can't justify the loss of family and
home to anyone on the receiving end of that loss.
You're so fucking colonial it makes me ill.
\_ Your fucking underestimation of the people of
Iraq makes me sick. Iraqis can think and they
watch and read the news, and they see the Bush
admin caught in lies about WMD, constantly
change its justification for the war, and
inability to find any WMD. They also read news
about how Bush admin gives fat contracts to
its cronies led companies using Iraqi money and
oil to pay for these. You think all these make
no difference to the Iraqis? Are you that
naive or are you just plain dumb?
\_ Who said the Iraqis aren't smart? I never said
any such thing. Go back and *READ* what I said,
not what you wish I'd said. I'll repeat: the
average Iraqi who lost a family member or home or
whatever doesn't give a flying fuck if there were
WMD or not. They don't give a flying fuck that
Bush is handing contracts to his buddies or not.
They don't give a flying fuck about the whether
the war was "just" or not. Those are your
Western White Boy concerns. They only care that
their family member is dead, their house blown up,
or their business destroyed and no amount of
Western justification for the invasion will change
that. If it was your house that got blown up and
2 tons of anthrax was found next door the day
after you'd still be pissed off your house was
blown up no matter how "justified" some white boy
in the US thinks it was.
\_ So you are saying that any country can invade any other
country by first making false accusations, then invading,
and then saying that they have to stay because if they leave,
since they already destroyed the former regime and its
institutions, there will be chaos?
\_ Bush says: That's a CIA failure.
institutions, there will be chaos?
\_ Whatever the quality of the reason for invading, walking out
now would be a case of two-wrongs-don't-make-a-right. If
you broke the cookie jar you should at least help buy new
cookies and some elmer's glue. There's no relationship
between whether or not invading was right and what we should
do now that we have. The fact is we did invade and now have
a moral responsibility to clean up the mess we made. You
seem to think that we only owe the Iraqi people something if
we had found tons of WMD. That makes no sense to me.
\_ 10 years of Resolutions are false accussations?
\_ Where is the WMD then?
\_ Bush says: That's a CIA failure.
\_ Are you trying to make him look bad?
\_ No, that's the genuine administration position.
\_ And if you want to talk about UN resolutions, no, US
did not obtain a UN resolution to invade
Iraq. There are many UN resolutions condemning
Israel. That doesn't mean other countries have
the right to invade Israel.
\_ Bush says: An earlier resolution made the war legal.
\_ Only problem was Bush tried to obtain a UN mandate
for war but had to withdraw. That shows that the
earlier resolution doesn't stand.
\_ Bush says: The earlier resolution still made
it legal; the new resolution was a chance to
show Saddam that the world was united in
opposition.
\_ earlier resolution says "severe consequences".
analogy would be a law that says it is
illegal to possess marijuana and anyone
found in possession of marijuana would face
"legal consequences". this doesn't give

To determine what the consequences should be
one should go back to the institution issuing
the law (UN in this case).

unlike "The Roadmap." -Motd Liberal
\_ There is no realistic chance of peace in the Middle
East. Here is how it could happen:
(1) Israel is nuked, or otherwise destroyed, and never
rises up again.
(2) The palestinian society/culture/infrastructure
is irrevocably broken and rebuilt again without
the nasty selfperpetuating evil it's mired in now.
Now, realistically, how likely are one of these two to
happen? What will probably happen is, Israel will wall
itself off and try to live as a besieged state.
Palestinians will continue to blow themselves up and
train their children to do the same, and everyone will
go on their merry (?) way.
\_ nah, the likely outcome is Israel will bring
in more and more settlers, and expand with
more and more settlements until it reaches its
size during King Solomon's times, and all
Palestinians are thrown out of Greater Israel.
\_ Possibly but I think it won't happen due to the
increase in settlements but yet another Arab
inspired war and this time the Israelis will just
push them all out and be done with it like they
started but wimped out on doing 50+ years ago.
\_ Genocide. The Palestinians want genocide, and
eventually they are going to get it.
\_ The palestinian nation is a peace loving nation
and if only the Jews would just jump in the ocean
and all die we could finally have peace in the ME.
\_ People once thought the same thing about
Ireland. While things are still somewhat bad
there, they do credit Clinton with bringing
people closer to compromise. There can be
peace in Israel/Palestine; it just takes the
right time, the right man, and the right
motivation. Bush's policies have set back that
possibility a great deal.

exactly goes on in their heads. Do I care why
a serial killer kills? Why should I care why
a serial killer nation kills? I just want to
put the serial killer away to pay back his
debt to his victims. There is no excuse to
be found in palestinians' heads for what they
are doing. It's simply wrong and evil.
\_ SOrry, guess my statement was unclear.
I was trying to say, the Palestinians
(and most arabs) will simply ignore
overwhelming evidence that contradicts
what they wish to believe. It's in
the religion. I should tell the story
about the guy who refused to believe
California is bigger than Azerbaijan.
Basically, people who belive peace is
possiable with those people don't have
any idea what they're talking about.
\_ Yeah those people are inscrutable.
They cannot be understood. Their thinking
process is alien to us. They are like
serial killers. Their culture is evil.
They are not normal humans. In fact,
they can't even be called humans. They
are more like rats. They should be
exterminated. We should burn
them so normal humans like us Jews can
have more living space. long live
Greater Israel!
\_ They may very well be understandable.
But they don't deserve to be understood,
much like any serial killer. The
palestinians have a serial killer
culture.
\_ Pick up an English language arab
newspaper or read them on the net. Then
come back here and tell us how peaceful
and loving and understanding and how
if only the Jews would just give up a
few more square miles here, and there,
and everywhere, peace would be at hand.
Your ignorance is almost painful but
you do the Berkeley hippy long haired
PC leftist thing really well. Give
peace a chance! Think locally, act
globally! Everyone just wants love!
\_ Well, Israel has never stopped the
continuation of the process. With
settlers and ongoing miserable
conditions in the territories, it's
not credible to say they would always
have been the same way. The ones that
went to Jordan seemed to be able to
lead normal lives. Leaving those
camps there for all those years was
a mistake either way.
\_ Jordan? Yeah the ones who went to
Jordan lived nice normal lives
after tens of thousands got
butchered on that side of the
border by their fellow Arabs. If
you don't know the history of the
area you really should take 5-10
minutes to read a summary online
before sharing your opinions here.
The mistake Israel made is they
started to kick out the Arabs 50
years ago but chickened out and
didn't finish the process. That
left them with a few million
really pissed off Arabs inside
their borders which is the worst
situation possible for all sides.
Israel will eventually either lose
a war or be overwhelmed by it's
internal Arab population and then
be no more. The only other option
that exists for Israel to survive
beyond the next 20 years is a war
that they win which has to be
started by the Arabs so the
international community types are
appeased which then leads to
them kicking out the 5th column
Arabs inside the borders now. I
don't see any other paths that
lead to anything other than the
complete destruction of Israel
and genocide inflicted upon the
Jews by the Arabs. At least maybe
someone will pass a UN resolution
asking them to please stop or
something. See the Tutsis for
how that turned out.
\_ Why do you believe that the
Israelis have the right to
kick the Arabs out 50 years
ago? The Arabs didn't kick
the Jews out during the
hundreds years during which
they ruled the region.
I never said they had the right. I said what _/
should have done and that what they did was a huge
mistake. The Arabs are on that land all the way
through North Africa and elsewhere because they
waged a bloody war of conquest to take it from the
previous owners. I don't see you crying about
them. And yes, the Arabs *did* kick out Jews from
all over the ME and took their property as well,
but there's a long history of that through the
ages, so it must be ok. They're just Jews.
You said they left "a few million really pissed _/
off Arabs inside their borders". Well, the only
real problems have been from the ones who have
have been under occupation in fenced camps, while
over time a lot of land grabs and other injustices
have been inflicted on them. I say again, it's just
not credible to wilfully ignore that and pretend
there was no other way to deal with the territories.
It was done out of militarily strategic concerns,
with an eye to the other Arab states. But that does
not mean it was the only option.
\_ Fenced camps? You've never seen the "camps"
which btw are supposed to be weapons free as
guaranteed by the UN which is supposed to be
running them until such time as the people can
be found living space in other Arab nations but
we know none of that ever happened, including
your illusionary fences. I do agree and said so
before that the push was for military/strategic
reasons. There's no crime there.

in the name of anything and say on TV how proud
they are afterwards. Golda said there won't be
peace until palestinian mothers love their
children more than they hate jews. She was
right 40 years ago and it's still true today
and for the future. The palestinian 'culture'
is just broken. The few people that were in
favor of peace were executed by Arafat as
'collaborators' when he came back from exile in
Tunis. Never bargain with terrorists. Letting
Arafat back in and giving him some form of
credibility was the worst possible mistake for
both Israel and the Palestinians who wanted a
nation and a real life and peace. Not until
Afarat is dead and forgotten can anything
positive happen. Bush, Clinton, etc, don't
stand a chance. I find it shocking that you'd
say Clinton was making progress when in fact he
had already given up long before his term was
over. Bush only got involved because he was
pressured into it and wasn't all that serious
about it. This is one of those things we should
not bother with until there's a local change of
some sort. It can't be fixed from the outside
and it is sheer American ignorance and arrogance
in the best colonial sense that says otherwise.
\_ It's amazing how so many people claim to
"understand" the minds of the palestinians,
when the really have no idea. The willful
ignorance ALONE is astounding.

first question--the whole interview is slanted.
\_ how do you slant an interview - he either said the
words or didn't. Are you implying the
transcript is false?
\_ When did you stop beating your wife?
\_ "I have never beat my wife" is a fair answer in an
interview. You think D.K. is an idiot and was some
how entrapped by the Evil Fox News interviewer? This
isn't grade school and he's no grade schooler. He
said what he said.
\_ He's a Republican lap dog given leading questions
by a right-wing propaganda machine posing as
a news program. It's all spin.
\_ That's ok. CNN will rescue us from the clutches
of spin and bias.
\_ Then it wasn't at all "beating your wife"
questions? Then why say it was? Why do you
care at all what is in any of his reports or
anything he does? If he's a (R) lapdog then
he should be out there planting evidence so you
tin-foil hat types can continue salivating.
\_ I'll use small words, so you have some chance
of understanding. I was responding to the
question, "how do you slant an interview?"
with a typical example of a leading question
designed to slant an interview. The
questions given by Snow were not attempts to
put Kay on the defensive; rather, they're
attempts to get him to defend the
administration's position.
As for your last sentence, there's a big
difference between going on TV because the
party machine told you to toe the line, and
falsifying evidence.
\_ I'll use small words, so you have some
very small chance to understand. It
doesn't matter what the interviewer asks.
It doesn't matter how. It never does. Tv
interviews exist so the subject has the
opportunity to spew forth whatever their
views are on whatever the subject wants to
talk about, not the interviewer. This is
true for political, entertainment, sports
and all other standard Tv interviews. In
the next class, we'll be discussing how
you can post to the motd without looking

1/23 I'm not trolling, I'm really curious:
What is the reason given by Christians that human life or a soul or
whatever happens at conception, and not later, such as late brain
development or birth? It's sure not in the bible...
\_ Jeremiah 1:5. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart"
\_ That kind of implies you have a soul before you're even concieved.
\_ That's why the Church says condoms are bad?
\_ too complicated to explain here on the motd. But that's
not the reason.
\_ That's why onanism is a sin.
\_ Is it a sin if, instead of tossing your sperm on the ground
to die in cold, dry misery, you give it a nice, warm home
in someone's stomach?
\_ But sperm die on their own anyway. And the sin of Onan was
that he was denying his brother an 'heir' out of spite.
\_ That's how I see it too, but many have interpreted it
as the act of wasting your seed outside a vagina.
\_ And Mormons believe that the soul preexists our physical
existence. When I've talked with traditional Christians about
interpretation of that passage, they respond by saying that it
just means that since God knows everything, including the
future, he could know a future-existing person before he was
born. -emarkp
\_ So you exist before you're concieved, and if a baby is
concieved, it's God's will. And if they're not concieved
that's also God's will, but if they're concieved but then
aborted, it *wasn't* God's will? That reminds me of how
parents will say stuff like "My son is so smart" and then
turn around and say "Look what your son did!"
\_ Hey, I'm just reporting what people have told me. -emarkp
\_ From God's perspective, God knows what happens.
But from our human perspective, we still have
free will. It's still our choice. God doesn't
force us to choose good or evil. It's free will.
