Ironically, the fact that a miraculous peace has not yet come over the many millennia of recorded prayers for peace is one of the many factors that made me start doubting whether there was a god who cared about us humans.

Afraid to address the substantial questions? You still haven't responded to dr's question.

Can you point to a version of the bill that actually contains universal health care, or your dreaded "ObamaCare"?

Your trolling behavior doesn't surprise me, but your concern being shamed by addressing real questions seems to indicate that you're actually not the fearless devil-may-care troll you're attempting to portray.

People will realize it sooner or later - both parties suck. All these games they play for popular support just obscure the fact that we're the school dweeb stuck voting on which bully's foot is going to kick us around, and most people are happy pretending that that is freedom.

I'm not too sure about slashdotter's ability to discuss ethics after responses the last time this came up.
 
However, I am curious about Coburn's "facts", I haven't been able to find anything to substantiate his claims (which, if you take the same moral position as I do in regards to abortion, is a critical thing to get right). Apparently I'm not the only one at a loss for a source, other people are looking unsuccessfully for a study that backs him up. I only found one site that listed a source of sorts for the figure, and they referenced the Ohio Department of Health, but not any specific report. I haven't been able to turn up any reports that even comment on fetal brain activity anywhere on the ODH website.
 
I'm curious if anyone knows the source for those two numbers. Without seeing that, I'm thinking that Coburn has just bought into some sort of fetal development myth.

I can provide you with a long list of creators complaining about piracy, if you would like.

A list that includes *all creators* and authorizes you to speak for us? When you say:

Those of us who are creators are very alarmed by statements like this.

you're claiming to speak for a large group that holds a diverse range of opinions. Inflating your personal opinions by pretending you represent a huge group is just goofy.
