I wouldn't pull off the wings for free because I think its mean and wrong, so why would I do it for money? The smartest thing a person could say about this subject

Tex, Some people here are simply telling you where they draw the line on this; some the line is plants, some the line is bugs, some the line is animals, and even some may be humans. I think it may be a little high and mighty of yourself to assume those that say their line ends at bugs are being hypocritical because they may or may not treat people like shit.

How many of you here who would not pluck the wings off of a butterfly...an action which will cause it no pain and not cause any sort of problems for anyone, anywhere, save for the butterfly which is not even self-aware...have in the past physically harmed a human being? How many don't think twice about treating another human bein

Further, insects lack the nervous system required to feel pain. Would you pluck a flower off of a tree for a million dollars? Would you be ashamed of that? A tree is a living thing, too. That is accurate. All people have varying views of the boundaries to their morals. Some would say rocks ok, anything else no. Some would say Flowers ok,

It is very clear in my mind: People before animals. If the death of an animal will benefit a human, then I don't think it's immoral. Perhaps the person who is immoral is the one who offers to give a million dollars for someone to pluck the wings off of a butterfly. If you have a butterfly and a human d

Of course, if you can honestly say that, if you had an infestation of butterflies in your home, you would either learn to live with them, move out of your home so they could enjoy it without the threat of being stepped on or sprayed with hairspray (which kills them), or painstakingly and humanely remove each one, hoping you can r

Tova, Great question. I could not and would not even for the cash. Ultimately I would be teaching my sons to sell their morals to the highest bidder. It is funny because we have all done things to insects for varying reasons like you mentioned, in fact I used to use a magnifying glass to burn ants when I was a kid. But for all these things we have done in the past holding the butterfly in preparation to pull the wing

Reply to Unions, have they outlived their usefulness? in Business JoeUser Forums

Ever work at a company with a strong union? New Workers are compelled to join to Union if anything but to save their job. The Union puts pressure to do X and Y. The changes go into effect, the company need to reduce the work force to compensate. If they dare touch the Union workers, the Union pulls some piss ant stuff, so the company turns around and lets go 5 of the non union workers to compensate. It pushes non union wor

Lol, you know the funny thing is you remind me of a girl about 18 years ago that I dated. I met her down in Tampa and i laugh now thinking about the knock out drag out arguments we used to have or Christianity and all that dwells with it. Talk about opposites attracking. Fun times

I hope you are not refering to the portion of a gentleman. I am not calling you a Perisse or whatever it may be since I don't know Adam from Eve when it comes to Christianity, but I do agree with Chaos on the above point. Your views are the type that give people, like me, the wrong idea about religious minded people. You have to admit that your views here on abortion are on the extreme side of the scale Tova. If you can not indeed see that your views represent a side of extreme Ch

When you start taking the absolute "all or nothing" approach, you become one of the folks that everyone accuses the Religious Right of being - completely and utterly intolerant of people with other beliefs. You become the stereotypical, intolerant, fundamentalist that just reinforces the bigoted attitudes of those around us.

I say yes. A thousand times YES. And I'd also say the definition of a real man and gentleman would start to shift......so that it encompasses men who obey their moral law and their God. -Uggg, you make it seem like men are just dieing to fight abortion and get their girlfriends to keep the

And I don't think that will change until... 1. the law changes 2. Society recognizes men should have the right to choose NOT to participate in the abortion process if they want the baby. Well said. #1 - (Changing the current Law) - I would fight that tooth and nail. #2 - I see your po

Hi Tova, I don't blog on the weekends, but I am sorry for any heated things I might have thrown at you last week. I tend to get very heated against religious bound people around these type of topics. Obviously there are going to be two different views on the guy's action in question. If you are Pro-choice you will tend to see his action as fair and self-less If you are Anti-Abortion you will tend to see his actio

So this is not about slamming women who have had abortions. It IS about men taking partial responsibility for that abortion. I think you are mixing your signal here. What you are really trying to express is Guys should be more forceful in getting their pregnant girlfriends NOT to get an abo

Good thoughts Tova. I couldn't have said it better myself. I agree 100%. I go a step further. I don't even believe in it in rape situations. I know that sounds harsh. For one thing it's very very rare. There is a very good article in this month's Focus on the Family magazine about a woman who went through just that. She was raped

We agree 100 percent on this Zoomba. I know if a woman wants an abortion, no one can stop her. BUt I don't think the man who disagrees with it should be so damn accommodating! Tova, I've actually come to like what you have to write about and report on. Don;t sully your own name by saying things like

PRO Choice No big arguement from me. Tova, I respect your push against Abortion. I just always want the law to allow abortion and let people make up their own mind. If they listen to pro-lifers and keep their babe, then great, if they make their own decision to get an abortion they should have the power to. That's it.
