Re: Al-Qaida chief warns Obama of attack
I've heard that Obama's pretty popular in the Muslim world, and I think al Qaeda is more scared that they won't be able to recruit as many impressionable young men into their armies with Obama in...

Re: Racism in America
Yeah, I read that too, and my heart just sunk. I know this certainly isn't the majority of people who didn't vote for Obama, but it's way too much. The best way to fight against this is for Obama...

Okay, I checked out Peter Singer's Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer), and it has his rather interesting view of abortion. I would assume that it matches his view with regard...

Agreed. Just for the record on the Singer passage, there are eleven pages in that book about this subject. I could quote forever and flesh out his opinion on the matter, but I'm not going to quote...

Re: stem cell research
I asked my friend a couple follow-up questions, namely a clarification on the "h" and whether the original lines are still in use. He also addresses federal funds for research.

Oh, the hypocrisy! Too bad they'll never see it. Even if we (not you and me, but me and the right) disagree on this issue, it would be nice if they could be consistent.

No, it's all right. Singer was just trying to prove a point. If you think that all embryos are sacred, well then, I got some news for you. Trust me, he's more sane and rational than that, and I...

Re: stem cell research
I agree with what you and cacophony said. This thought came from cacophony calling it "a sort of cannablism" and from someone (I'm not sure who) mentioning the embryos don't have a choice in the...

I'm pretty we're talking about embryos and not fetuses in that passage. I don't know if you could perform stem cell research with a fetus; I assume it's only with a embryo.
