Steve Buscemi is an actor who was in alot of movies, especially movies by the Cohen brothers and Quentin Tarantino. He's not a good looking guy and for a woman, its not a good thing to resemble him.

I never had a desire to see I, Robot. It was obvious from the trailer that the original story was watered down as a big Hollywood action thriller. In addition to that, I can't stand Will Smith. His acting is just as good as his music. I have no desire to go see him play the character he plays in all his other films. I'd rather see Anchorman, which was meant to be stupid.

The odds of getting infected by blood transfusion transmitted disaeses in the United States:
Hepatitis B - Risk of transmission in the Unites States is said to be 1 in 66,000.
Hepatitis C - Risk of transmission in the Unites States is said to be 1 in 121,000.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) - Risk of transmission in the Unites States is said to be 1 in 563,000.
The WBTS has over-hyped the odds of getting a transmitted disease. Sure, there is a risk of getting infected, there are risks when dealing with medication. Theres even a risk for individuals who are allergic to latex gloves. There is no excuse for dismissing blood transfusion on the basis of these kinds of risks. Its a shame that many adherents of the WBTS make life and death decisions without being informed. I sympathize with doctors who try to walk the line between informing the patients about the actual risks of this procedure while at the same time trying to avoid violating their rights.

No need for name calling Farkel. Buying the book from the store can be really stressful. I remember when I bought my copy of CoC. I freaked out because the book was so thick making it almost impossible to hide. With ebooks, you can maintain your privacy. I'm sure Ray Franz would want it that way.

"Is it fair to ask a women to put her own life at risk or die because she has found herself pregenant if she did not make the choice to become so?"
Becoming pregnant is not the same as discovering the existence of a tumor or a wart on your thumb. You are begging the question why is there only one life at stake instead of two?

Odrade said in two posts:
1st Post
"It's one thing to debate philosophically the idea and impact of infanticide. It's another thing to say that pro-choice individuals are in favor of it. Your insistence that this is a legitimate argument NOT to support the right to choose is unbelievably misguided. Not one person in this thread has even insinuated they support infanticide. If you went down to planned parenthood, (which is a pro-choice organization) and asked if they supported infanticide, they would probably call the police. In fact many of us have said that although we support the right to have safe abortions in certain circumstances, we do not support third trimester abortion unless death is imminent for mother or fetus. This is the age when the fetus becomes viable, with medical support. How can you translate that into a possiblility of argument for infanticide?
An academic discussion of a philosophical question does not necessarily mean the parties are in favor of the argument, and even if there are a few that are... well, there are indeed people who hold ridiculous and extremist views that the vast majority of the population would find repugnant. Using these extreme ideas to support your argument is nothing even close to good scholarship, and only displays your reactionary attitude to a very legitimate discussion."
2nd Post
"Hmmm, I said that you were using this argument to support your position against abortion, not that it was your SOLE support. Out of context again. What a great philosopher. Aren't the greatest philosophers committed to intellectual honesty? Maybe you are not really interested in the philosophy portion, but rather the sophomoric portion."
I wonder how many other ideas (including those of scientists) you have taken out of context and twisted by quoting only an elipsed fraction of the true intent? Well, we've already seen one of your three..."
I never said that all pro-choicers argue in favor of infantcide. What I meant was that alot of arguments in favor of abortion are flawed because they can also be used as arguments for abortion. I was not attempting to provide a knock-out argument against abortion. Heres what I said in another post:
"I believe Roe vs. Wade to be an atrocity because Judge to it upon themselves to separate personhood from humanity. If the unborn are considered human but not people then when does a human become a person? Alot of arguments for abortion are also arguments for infantcide. What if we decided to define a person as having an IQ over 70? Then alot of humans would not be considered people."
I am not the right wing nut job that you portray me to be. I am attempting to share my own views based on what I've read so far. I aspire to become a philosopher, but I am not claiming to be one already. I resent that you portray me as intellectualy dishonest, since one of the biggest reasons I want out of the organization is because of their intellectual dishonesty. As for the Pinker quote, it was a mistake that I regret-- I have no intent of misleading anyone. Please, do not indulge in calling me sophmoric or dishonest. I have never called anyone names in this topic and I expect likewise.
