fixed for now

The site is fine, its just been transitioned to a new location, whoops. Yeah it will be some time before that is done. In the mean time, you have to do some sleuthing around the skeleton of what remains of the old site, once I put back online in a sec. Or use hsccentral.weebly.com as well (same...

is that just an assertion? it may be that 50% of the government is in support, but what about the people? secondly, I don't get the point of Kolmias' comment anyway... any argument that results to sledging is not great...

Think of things you enjoy in life and the things that you are thankful for...

A snapshot of the new website, you would notice the new link is significantly smaller and less fidely and there exists now its own icon :). Apart from that most of the content will be much the same.

If you needing notes, I have plenty.

highly doubt it. :spin:

Although some constitutions are very vague as well. Just think of the reasons for referendums in the past such as 1967. While on this issue, there isn't much mentioned.

Why a referendum? This is not Ireland or the US, where the constitution has (or used to should I say) the traditional def. of marriage. A plebiscite makes sense; a referendum does not. We are not changing the constitution.

{1} What is the relevance of this question? Atheists don't care about eternity, esp. Paradoxica. Period. {2} If you want to discuss euthanasia start a new thread. Your example is very poor, and hinges on the assumption that you and them have the same understanding of the issues underlying {3}...

how is this relevant?

Ironically though, you posted this thread, remember? http://community.boredofstudies.org/214/news-current-affairs-politics/348474/safe-schools-coalition-sexual-politics-classroom.html

Consequentialism = ends justify the means. If there is some end worth achieving than it justifies the means. I reject such thinking to some degree of course, but others don't. It tends to be argument that does not matter with how a particular result is achieved to some degree, i.e. it finds...

Well then you actually agree well at least with the bit you quoted. It was more so a concession, then yes it really depends. Obviously on these topics, we would disagree on the specifics. The bit in bold, I actually agree with, the difference comes when you factor in the effects and consequences...

I guess the point of his comparison, albeit poor, which I kind of agree with (but not how he puts it): is to say that just because some person has some strong desire, does not mean it should be carried out... Lets consider this: 1. The fulfilment of desire, especially by hedonists/humanists...

Most would argue that these two things are not the same, the latter involves harm to another person, while the former does not. And that is how they would resolve this "apparent inconsistency"

Are you? Seems to be more of a red herring case. Please explain...

Does it really matter? (answer: no as you would already have indicated) :spin:

overreaction :spin:
