Well, first of all the state has the perceived authority to execute criminals. If you don't believe the state has any authority over people - and thus no right to exist - then you might have a point. Second, are you seriously comparing an innocent child to a murderer?

I agree, that is a form of self defense. I should amend my original statement to read "most circumstances don't matter."

[ Nope. Execution by the state is not murder.

Yes, there is a difference between homicide and murder, but unless the mother's life is in danger, the abortion is murder (assuming you agree the fetus is a human being). Abortion is not self defense, nor is it accidental. Therefore, the circumstances do not matter. Either abortion is murder...

Well, either abortion is murder or it isn't. The circumstances don't matter.

Marriage predates history at the very least, and very probably civilization. Ask an anthropologist. There is nothing in the constitution that gives the federal government any power over marriage. Nor should there be. Regardless, this is a thread about children rejoicing because their parents...

Good, because I get the idea you think I'm calling you out specifically on the details of your marriage. I could not care less about anyone's particular marriage. In fact, I wish them only happiness.

First off, let me be clear, I'm not referring to anyone specifically when I say "you." I'm speaking generally. I just think that the government has no business whatsoever in marriage. It's just another way to meddle in our lives. The mere fact that anyone has to get government permission to...

My parents were married for 66 years until my dad died in 2006, but that's hardly the norm.

And you need a piece of paper for that?

I didn't mean to suggest you should. My comment above was rhetorical. Nevertheless marriage is still a religious institution, and while legally it may require no religious component, it's still a religious ritual, else why do 80% involve a church?

So why are you married if there's nothing religious about it? Do you really need a piece of paper to stay committed to her and her to you? Suppose the government ruled your marriage null and void today. Would you rush out and cheat on her?

We the People are stupid. We could stop this entire argument by getting governmen the hell out of marriage altogether. Marriage is a religious institution. Non-religious people shouldn't even have a horse in the race, but they want a piece of the pie the government shouldn't even be handing...

Pretty much everything.

Nevermind. Didn't realize I was replying to a 2 year old post.

I think it would have done better, but ultimately still failed. Branding it D&D surely expedited it's demise.

I might take another look at Dragon Age. I had high hopes for it, Picked up set one, early, but the 40 year wait for set 2 lost my interest.

The problem with the wand of cure light wounds is that it exists.

Wow. What a blatant grab at publicity over nothing. Color me underwhelmed and uninterested.
