LenHazell53 replies on May 21, 2019:

@Renickulous I am saying, as I have many times previously in this discussion a small count of cells can contain the DNA of a specific species without actually being a member of that species, this includes a zygote, blastoma,blastomeres, a morula, trophoblasts and others that can not live outside of the womb environment being totally physically reliant on the mother. In short a cell containing DNA from a human may be a human cell, it is however not a human being, if it were anyone taking a DNA swab or a blood donation would be a murderer. (By the way please stop comparing some entitled person sponging off their parents to any in utero creature from Zygote to baby. It is a silly False analogy and make you look idiotic)

@Renickulous It is however a product of the mother containing viable DNA, but then so is feces, mucus and saliva I know what a Zygote is, I think I made that clear in my previous post Cancer does kill people, it also contains human DNA by your own logic this makes chemotherapy murder, since a cancer cell is perfectly cable of living once removed, indefinitely if in a nutrient suspension, and even of continuing to grow and thrive, it to is "innocent" by you definition. Simply because something contains a unique strand of DNA doesn't mean it is alive in the same sense as viable living independent fully grown specimen, a mushroom meets all the same criteria and even has 89% (a cabbage has 94%) the same DNA as a human, is "innocent" that does not make a vegetarian a cannibal. Quoting a fact out of context, as I think I have shown above, does not make it applicable in all circumstances, you verge on equivocation and just to be pedantic I never accused you of blowing anything out of proportion, I accused you of hyperbole and reductio ad absurdum, one of which is quite different and the other is quite the opposite.😊

@Renickulous "A zygote is not the mother" A Zygote is not an embryo, hundreds of them are quietly miscarried without anyone's knowledge before they become even a viable embryo, women miscarry at all stages of pregnancy, are you going to start advocating for the prosecution of women who miscarry or have stillbirths on the grounds of negligence or malpractice? Is the ovum part of the mother? Is the spermatozoa a part of the father? Is menstruation and having a wet dream the abortion of a "potential" person? Is the use of contraception the denial of even the chance for a gamet to become a Zygote tantamount to conspiracy to murder? I've heard all these ridiculous logical fallacies used, and others even more stupid to justify the denial of choice to women as to when they want to have a child if at all. Your arguments are reductio ad absurdum, at best simplistic and emotive moralising and virtue signaling at worst hypocritical hyperbole.

LenHazell53 replies on May 19, 2019:

@Marionville it is derived from the word croc, originally meaning a chamber pot used for the collecting of night time bodily waste. "A load of old croc" literally means a pile of shit For some odd linguistic turn of fate when a large cooking vessel became known as a crock pot, presumably as a joke on someone's cooking, the older expression changed to Cock rather than crock. In the original sense here Cock as in stopcock, and valve means to block off when turned upward and was a slang term for a **spigot** based on the idea of a man's inability to urinate when sexually aroused, in the same way cocking a gun derived from the same idea of making erect.

@Castlepaloma The Satanic Temple is not Satanism or even the church of satan, it is basically a protest group that fight to ensure the separation of church and state THE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS of the SATANIC TEMPLE. 1 One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. 2 The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. 3 One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. 4 The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. 5 Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. 6 People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. 7 Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

@Cutiebeauty My point exactly that your attitude of "If you're not doing anything wrong, what's the problem?" is the gap that allows purchase to the thin end of the wedge. It is the same principle as the Mormons forbidding the consumption of coffee, then using the converts acceptance of that, to pile silly idea upon silly idea until you are moronically wearing a Pillsbury dough boy suit and magic knickers in a temple vowing to believe god lives on a planet orbiting the star Kolob. Why not justify having cameras in the toilet? It stops people taking drugs in there and abusing the privacy of your bathroom, does it not? In fact it is the one room in the house without a camera, isn't that likely to be where the burglar gets in? And of course speaking of drugs perhaps for the safety of all at some point toilets will have built in drug testing devices, checking your children's urine? For your safety of course, and that of your guests, well you've allowed stop and search, by that time maybe compulsory ID papers, cameras on every street corner, why the half measure? Only someone with something to hide would object to cameras in the bathroom? Perhaps you are pissing in the sink so your urine can't be tested? You are advocating guilty until proven innocent when you say "If you're not doing anything wrong, what's the problem?" So put the government spy cameras in you house and in the John because WHY NOT why is that room any different to any other???

@Mofo1953 I would disagree, if you take the impact on the general well being of society, or indeed even the adherence to the laws of the society in question it is perfectly possible to, at least locally, apply a scale of measure for the purposes of determination of the current overall worth. We do this now via the courts, when some one's worth is judged to be in the negative worth zone they are removed from society, either permanently or temporarily, for this purposes we have people called Judges.

I think all humans are worth something.

LenHazell53 replies on May 5, 2019:

I all agree, all humans have inherent worth, however your worth as a person is either enhanced or diminished by their actions. When your inherent worth is negated by your negative actions to the point where your overall lack of value is impacting negatively on the world and other people then pragmatically it must conclude the world would be better off without you.

LenHazell53 replies on May 4, 2019:

@gater @SeaGreenEyez It is not uncommon for the IRS, like the Inland revenue in this country, to strike deals with large corporations and billionaires who get in to arrears for partial or favourable repayment deals in order to prevent business' from going in to administration and causing mass redundancies, such deals are often kept confidential for the credibility of both parties involved. I am not saying this is the case but given Captain Comb-over's past history of financial irregularities it is a possibility worth considering.

LenHazell53 replies on May 2, 2019:

@LeighShelton Rubella is the correct term for German measles where as the medical name for actual Measles is Rubeola, for clarity in the UK Rubeola is simply known as Measles or 10 day Measles, and German Measles as Rubella or 3 day measles. Hence the triple vaccine being known as MMR (Mumps, Measles and Rubella)

LenHazell53 replies on May 1, 2019:

@Charlene The main problem with German measles is when a pregnant woman is exposed to it,(even one who has been immunized or has had the disease herself) she may not suffer much, but the child can be born sterile, brain damaged, blind and a whole host of other nasty consequences. This is why there is such a concerted effort to wipe it out.
