Re: Psychics Respond to James Randi
I love James Randi to death, but I often find that his appearances on talking head programs make him come off as a just a crazy old guy. He interrupts far too often and it makes it easy for his opponent to position him as the "bad guy". Granted, it may be hard for him to get a word in any other way, as a lot of these hosts only have him present as a token skeptic and aren't interested in his opinion any ways.

Re: A question for Pro-Lifers
So someone who evicts someone else's bundle of cells from her body is an unethical dickhead but not a criminal.
After the ectogenesis industry gets geared up to take over for the abortion industry, I sure hope I don't have to pay extra for ectogenesis insurance. Would you want to pay for ectogenesis insurance? Suppose she doesn't want to fork out three quarters of a million dollars to turn that carefully extracted blastocyst into an orphan human baby. If it were up to me, I'd rather spend that tax money on thousands of school lunches, dozens of college educations, and a couple of pieces of public art. But that's just me being a socialist.

Re: A question for Pro-Lifers
Taking property from someone and giving it to someone else is socialism.
If you moved your truck, I might call you an un-ethical dickhead, but I wouldn't call you a criminal.
I really hope that I don't get forced to pay extra for meteorite insurance. Would you want to pay for meteorite insurance?
My guess it would be covered under the catastrophic bodily injury clause anyway, so I would sue them when I woke up.

Re: A question for Pro-Lifers
Who said anything about socialism? We can argue forever about whether capitalism systematically destroys our planet and forces 98% of everybody into servitude, but all I said was that in other circumstances you object to taking property from someone and giving it to someone else.
Reducing this to a property dispute can illuminate the contradiction. If your house will slide down a muddy slope into the river unless I keep my truck parked in front of it, what do you do if I move my truck rather than let it get scuffed up saving your house?
Or this: You have an accident and your insurance company turns out to have a loophole in the contract saying it doesn't cover being hit by a meteorite. The hospital refuses to treat you until you come up with a huge pile of cash while unconscious.

Re: A question for Pro-Lifers
1) That is an interesting argument, becuase there has been serious advancements in the field of ectogenesis, or artificial wombs, and so pro-choicer's may have to adress the moral issues of fetal extraction as apposed to fetal termination sometime soon. Abortion could be made illegal in the United states becuase of this technology.
2)If we do believe that an unborn human organism is morally equivalent to a born one, then the status of its humanity must trump the inconvenience of pregnancy, just as we cannot allow for the euthanasia of a premature infant due to the inconveniece to its care-givers.
3)This is because the infant child has a right to their own property, i.e. their own existance, and yet the nature of childhood precludes any abitlity for personal responsibility or survival on behalf of that child, until it reaces adulthood.
Also, socialism does not allieviate the suffering of the poor better than a capitalist system does, There has been no greater force to create more wealth (i.e. physical resources) and distribute it to more poor people than free market capitalism.
Using your logic, one could successfully make the argument more poor people die because of wealth redistribution than have because of income inequality.

Watching that woman at the end do the catholic ritual cross thing made me cringe. How can we still have humans who believe in crazy shit like this? Aaaaagh!

Re: Colbert, Nailed 'Em: Mormon Trespassing
I've lived in Salt Lake since I was a baby, and I know spam's message to be true...
The church was allowed the rights to buy that stretch of main st. due to our lovely elected officials that allowed them to buy it....oh, and by the way, they got a SCREEEAMIN' deal on it...something like 1% of it's true worth, if I remember correctly.
