Reasoned arguments when you disagree. (Telling me that you're somewhere between one term that entails a whole bunch of meaning and another term that also entails a whole bunch of meaning, serves as a marvelous counter-example.) I'm not holding my breath; trying to get you to focus is like you trying to get DR to have a buddy study of Marxism.
Then again, a little frickin' personal responsibility would be nice. If you've got something terminal, pick your method of offing yourself and acquire all the materials and set it up, before you become physically incapable of doing so.
It's just that if someone else is doing all the work, it's not a suicide, it's a murder. It's like Japanese cars that are "made in America". They're not American-made if everything is done overseas except for the last step. Likewise it's not really suicide if I buy the gun, load it, hold it up to your head, lift your hand and wrap your finger around the trigger, and move it halfway for you.
And I think I'd prefer these things come out of say the mortuarial arts instead of the medical department. If there's a pill you can take when you want to croak, maybe morticians should prescribe that, and leave doctors to just sticking with trying to keep people alive.
Taking your own life is very permanent, so it should be very deliberate. "Assisted" should be defined very conservatively.
Well usually "explain what you meant by this particular juxtaposition" doesn't mean "provide wikipedia links for extensive reading on two subjects and let me puzzle it out for myself", but whatevs, dude.
ISTR that you're Roman Catholic.
Wow, you really aren't paying attention. I guess, going forward think of my posted responses in your journal as just me collecting my thoughts.
Apologies, then. I'll just accept that you're not interested in getting into any kind of real discussion with me. (Or that we're necessarily even able to, being on, as you said, different wavelengths. In spite of probably largely agreeing on things.)
There's always new ones to be discovered, around every corner!
p.s. Personally, I think everyone has the right to off themself, they just should have to do it themself. But the physical disability case throws a monkey wrench into that. So I would be about as uneasy about ruling on this as apparently the judges were (by not wanting to call it what it is).
How about instead: cryptica?
(As in what you engage in with me, and I occasionally like to return the favor.)
I fall about midway between Arminianism & Calvinism.
Esplain, please.
Perhaps I was too cryptic.
LOL. Dude, that should be your
And now you seem to be getting testy.
LOL! You think I'm just now getting testy?!
At the time the passage was authored it was likely referring to Nero's profile appearing on of Roman coinage.
Because the people were required to carry their coins only in their right hands or stuck to their foreheads?
It's been a long time since one was able to get Google to show results for actually exactly what one was searching on. They took away search operators/your control and now just give you what they think is best for you. Kind of like an all-loving government.
TLDR: Fuck Google. (And the Leftie horse it rode in on.)
Here's one: How many more times do you think I'll assume good faith on your part, when you ignore what we're talking about and then feign to be interested a day or three later (and somehow unable/unwilling to simply scroll up and read what we were talking about), and then rinse, lather, repeat?
Happy, happy, happy thoughts, about America and the Left, all the time!
<whoosh>
Sounds more like the Internet of Thingies.
