Go figure this one out, Obama supports abortion, but also supports the idea if you don't want the baby you can set it aside and let it die by starvation.
Now, where is the fine line between murder and a righteous kill?
Killing is killing to me, no matter what age the person is.
If killing a child in a womb is not murder, then all killing is legal. Right? Or is it that we need to define what is a righteous kill and what is murder. Now, either people who support abortion should also try to legalize killing for every person or make it all liable under the term "murder".
So what about if you run over someone in your car and kill them, here it is considered involuntary manslaughter and it is still murder and jail time. In other States it just means a slap on the hand and the person goes home again.
In war, killing is considered a righteous kill, even if it is a civilian who is killed in the cross fire as it is considered collateral damage. But it is still murder according the the law books here in the USA, but yet troops kill people every day and it is considered legal. Are we confused on this world what is murder and what is a righeous kill? Killing is killing in my book and it is still murder no matter what circumstances the killing is for.

Either we should make killing legal for the entire worlds population or consider it all murder. Or do we just excuse the type of situation the killing was for and say it was all a righteous kill even for those mothers who kill their children in their wombs. I mean there are always people who are a hinderance on my lifestyle and a nuisance, but I don't kill them. So what excuse does a mother have for killing her own child? Or maybe we should just make killing legal for everyone so we can kill anyone who is a hinderance to us and call it aborting those who we just don't want around. Or should we make sure we all know and understand the one Law that says killing is murder no matter what the circumstance is or even if the other is a nuisance to us, even if we accidently run them over with a truck, its still murder.

Make any sense? what is your opinion and ideas about this?

As long as any government trains and uses assassins, condones, promotes, encourages termination of anyone with extreme prejudice, then the people should have the same right to terminate anyone and each other if they so wish. Equal opportunity in it's fullest sense. The term 'murder' should be stricken from the law and perhaps the term 'non murder' should replace it; better yet, govt. 'terminators' be they of the various intelligence branches and/ or military do not recognize the term 'murder' so why should anyone else. There is no prosecution of hired contract or govt. employed assassins; never have been by any govt. Not only are they required to kill; terminate etc. who they are told to terminate, but are granted extreme latitude to also terminate anyone we feel like taking out.
For years I've also advocated laws making it mandatory for each person, each family, each home to have guns. Guns of any type, any caliber. They can have rocket launchers and missiles for all I care. Let Freedom breath as many will finally breath their last to be sure. Make it against the law not to have guns. Cancel murder as a criminal offense or otherwise end all legalized murder by government employed assassins. Murder is such a rather vague term anyway. peace

Solitare, I totally agree with you on feelings of guilt after doing anything wrong, as it happens with everyone. However, suicide is committed on many grounds. The common denominator: Mental or psychological illnesses/issues/instability.

People commit suicide for reasons as small as being grounded, losing a match or losing a job. Does that mean we should send Man. United packing, let teenagers act unruly and totally abolish employment to prevent this?


Disclaimer: I am not trivializing suicide, just saying that the issue is really with the person doing it, not so much the circumstances.

dunno confused

I have no idea what this means
dunno

Nothing will ever prevent anyone from having suicidal thoughts or stopping anyone from committing suicide. That is a given; how would abolishing employment possibly restrain someone from suicide; if employment were abolished, that in fact, for many would only encourage suicide...aside from the total chaos that that it would initiate, it certainly would help deplete many overpopulated areas...like the govt. policy of encouraging popular suicide in the movie 'Soylent Green', turning themselves into crackers... Several films have posited a society wherein it was against the law NOT to commit suicide at some point...interesting.
Not sure what you were getting at...confused

rolling on the floor laughing Take heart the both of you; I love words and I love playing with em and all their popular and cryptic meanings as well. I have always made it a point to never claim or say that I am balanced or intelligent, just that I am not 'normal' as all those are relative terms anywho. I recently came across a new book entitles 'Limitless You: The Possibilities of A Balanced Brain" by Lee Gerdes("08). Do you realize that the reverse is also true, that having an 'unbalanced' brain is full of possibilities!?
As Uncle Remus once said: 'We iz who we iz an' dat's dat''
Just play with images of 'an unbalanced brain' could mean, including weight and size...what if one side weighed more than the other...would you have your head tilted to one side as you walk down a street...laugh

Soldiers kill as do cops and even hunters and none are tried for killing so it's not illegal. Only murder whether done by a soldier cop hunter or anybody else is illegal and they will be tried for the crime.

kiling is very wrong,its a violation of human right and God law. in war the rules are set in the u.c.m.j.people who killi in war are subject to the judgement of their creator, its is against the law of nature and morals and values.this whole thing about life,if a woman get pg and kills her baby is wrong.too many people are using excuse to justifity there actions.one thing is for sure when the morals values of a nation are down and disrespect for life has value then the nation will fall.
