I wanted to comment on what I would consider a miracle. A miracle would be something like having your arm amputated and then growing a new one in a day. The examples that Christians like to talk about are weak and unsubstantiated. A miracle has to be something amazing that cannot be explained...
I think there are plenty of reasons to hate America, although I would agree that at least here in Canada, alot of the anti-U.S. sentiment is baseless (insofar as most people themselves have little or no idea as to why they actually hate America).
America is a global bully. They are running...
I certainly would like to be in his shoes. I'm not really interested in getting married or having a family, so I think being a playboy would be the life for me. Now all I need is some fame and fortune, and then just about any woman will want me, even when I'm 78.

There are many good points in that essay. Unfortunately, most of this guy's "work" has been plagiarized, verbatim, from other sources. If he had a little more integrity he might have at least given credit where it is due rather than passing it off as his own intellectual work.
Manslaughter has a much broader definition than what you have listed there.
Depending on the circumstances, a miscarriage could be considered maslaughter in some cases if the fetus was afforded the same legal status as everyone else.
CCGR, I will agree with you that giving a child up for...
The problem with assigning a fetus with the same rights and status as everyone else is that you open up a whole new set of legal issues. I'm not saying whether a fetus does or does not deserve the same rights as everyone else, but if you treat it as you do everyone else, then there are certain...
Yeah, that's why he called it manslaughter.
Where I live, there is a father who is trying to sue his child's mother on the child's behalf because of injuries the child suffered in the womb. They are trying to get more insurance money out of it. What they are doing bothers me because it is so...
