I think it comes down to intelligence in the end.

If he is able and willing, it would be gone. The reason we see no change is because "it" or "sin" doesn't exist in the first place. Like any good marketers introducing a new product, religion had to create something. They want us to believe- to avoid the very one thing they can not even...

Yea tbh the only practical use of a finance major is financial planning, even then you can just do a grad DPS, but i find planning interesting so meh it is all theoretical + statsy maths...well.

Well, you don't really need a formal education at all to be a trader. Your maths studies will only help in quantitative research and "back-office" pricing jobs, I presume. For instance, I spoke to the guys at Optiver on a careers day- you don't need to understand Black-Scholes, Financial...

Yep. Religious indoctrination of children = child abuse. i would support making it ILLEGAL.

Oh no doubt there is exceptions, but there is definitely a correlation! Its almost kool for unintelligent kids these days to blatantly deny facts, as though its a perfectly rational practice. On this note, they made a point on Q&A last thursday night in regards to the right-wing journalists...

Is it not the same far-right conservative energy-hungry nutjobs who spit in the face of GW evidence who also blatantly deny the evidence for evolution? Seriously...I never imagined that the world would split into those who rationally accept the life-work of the majority of peer-reviewed...

My understanding is that this form of policy is under discussions in the Netherlands. Dutch government plan for 'easy euthanasia' in Dutch prisons (last year)

I fundamentally disagree. Respectfully, Iron you have once again painted your feather-tailed, love-spiked delusion- a proverbial backlash at the so called "evils" of materialistic reality void once more of any truth value. The state can "believe" what they want- but I wouldn't let sentiments...

This. There really doesn't seem to be a strong argument to the contrary- apart from those advocates of extreme retribution, which is at best cold and vindictive (the very qualities usually in criminals you condemn)! My position is that if a policy was carefully planned and adhered to, in...

Contraban ie knives ain't allowed in prison. Thats where your argument falls short here. In the context of prisoners, particularly lifers, the system is very much stopping them performing self-harm and ultimately making the choice of death. My argument is that, on the merit of each case and...

True, but he obviously has enough lucid moments to organise his lawyers to explicitly state his death intention, to consistently attempt suicide etc So you wouldn't have a problem with him dieing by starvation? Is this because there is no one else assisting?

That's kool. Just make sure its not "interest". Your sky-daddy might give you a zap.

Just state your position on Martin Bryant.

lol Your in running for my new sig.

lol the "crime" has been accounted for. This focuses purely on the punishment, which i think your position is unjustified. I can't move past why so many Christians hold an "eye for eye" view! Did they not read: Matthew 5:38–39: "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a...

Please re-read that. The logical contradictions are smiling :)

I represent the community, as do many others with the same view. We expect them to be punished for their crimes yes. They will go to prison- nothing compassionate here. Why is amplification of suffering (particularly for those who are mentally-ill/constant suicide attempters) necessary? Lets...
