What if their lack of desire to improve is a mental ailment? Because that's exactly what happens when you're suicidal and/or depressed. You don't really want anything. You can't feel good, you can't feel hope, and I think that precludes you from making reasonable decisions.

Sure, the baby is residing in someone else's body, bit it /isn't/ their body. It has its own DNA, the genetic code of a completely separate individual. It's an individual that isn't doing much for anyone now, may even be viewed as a parasite, but it has so much potential later on, after it has developed. Shouldn't…

Never played the first one, won't play this one. All I know about Dead Island Riptide is that I am sick to DEATH of their awful Spotify ad.

I actually really dislike the Wii, but I'm conflicted because that's prevented me from playing Prime 3. The first two games were amazing (Prime is one of my Top 3 games).

So what, we're supposed to measure a person's worth by their utility now? And honestly, I think it's quite the double standard when people are alright with killing unborn children, who have no choice in the matter, but it's somehow awful for a person to try and protect the lives of adults who want to opt out.

The decisions of that individual do not only affect them. They affect others, too, and in the case of suicide, the difference it makes is huge. This is the weakness of the rampant individualism in our culture. It's not all about you, or me, or any one of us. We're all here, whether we like it or not, and we have a…

I'll fish a piece of cake out of the trash can for him.

No, I wouldn't. Because the reality is that no man (or woman) is an island. I love my family and friends dearly, and whether I wanted it or not, I know they could never be ok with my death. With my suicide. Speaking from my own experience, as someone who has nearly committed suicide and as someone who has…

There's a difference between me saying that it's MY place to dictate these things and advocating that we maintain these values as a society.

Yes, I would. Whether or not my conviction is misplaced is certainly up for debate.

Saying life is sacred is not the same as saying life is easy. Trust me, I'm not judging people that I can't understand. I've struggled with depression for as long as I can remember, and yeah, I've been suicidal before, too. And though I'm still depressed today, I'm glad as hell that nobody gave up on me, or offered…

/Only/ an ethical problem? Ethics are of the utmost importance! They're what maintains order in our society. They're part of what elevate us above other animals. Meaning is only lost when you throw it away. You don't need empirical proof to justify placing value on a human life.

On the contrary, once we become callous about death within our own species, we will cease to grow. Certainly, we're animals, and animals face death on a daily basis. The fact remains, however, that we are the most advanced animals on the planet, and we didn't get that way by writing off the value of life. We got…

I'd also say I think you're right in saying there isn't much difference between that and abortions. The difference is, I think that should serve as an indication that we need to reconsider abortion, rather than the other way around.

Open your mind to too much and there will be nothing left. Life is sacred, and the moment we lose this conviction as a society, we will have lost everything.

You can actually "win" Elude *SPOILERS*. When I played, I dropped down to the pit with the incline after a couple climbs and falls. As I was going down the incline, when I saw the drop off, I noticed a light shining from the top again, and climbed back up. When you go back up, you can actually escape back to the…

You made your point poorly in that it was not at all clear what you were taking issue with, aside from perhaps the whole article. Now that you've clarified that, I can see where you were coming from, though you did it in a fairly bombastic and antagonistic style.

So Christians shouldn't write about their faith in any venue where it might be read by people they don't know personally? That's essentially the logical conclusion of your stipulations.

"Really, truly, we don't care. No one does." Ring any bells?

In either case, you present your point very poorly. You're free to not care for his point of view, and you're free to not care to have it announced. In either case, it's posted, there's nothing you can do about it (besides avoid it if you're so badly put off by it), and your best bet is to get over it or learn to…
