So stay out of spousal abuse, or insider trading, or heroin trafficking? Their all very private and can be handled without goverment help!

I would rather be an underprivleged and neglected child, then never have been born.....wouldnt you?

If you can form and express that intent as a ten week fetus, then yes, you should be born.

What you or I would prefer with respect to our own births at this point in our lives is one of the dumbest straw-men I've ever heard, but it's become a staple of the right to life people.

Get some responisbilty, and be accountable, MtG. What's so hard with the concept?

All of those involve two or more distinct, separately functioning, individuals. What happens inside a woman's uterus is not a public matter until the fetus reaches a point of development where it is effectively indistinguishable from a neonate infant.

But yes, Vesayen, the government should stay out of heroin trafficking. I'm also not sure I see the problem with insider trading, provided no one is being defrauded or coerced or tricked into investing.

Nothing at all. Trouble is, they're not particularly material. If the state is going to start enforcing "responsibility" and "accountability" - then why don't we legislate a "responbility and accountability police" to tell people how they ought to be living their lives? People ought to drink and smoke less, eat less cholesterol, work harder, save more, educate themselves, and a ****load of other things - is it the state's business to regulate your life there? Hell no.

Until the fetus reaches a certain stage of development, it ain't the state's business. Now if you want to take the position that the state shouldn't be funding abortion on demand, I have no problem with that.

Insider trading is defrauding the marketplace by definition.

You probably know much more about the issue than I do. I'll take your word on it.

[SlowwHand]

Just more examples of that good old "whatever makes it easier on me" mentality that David, Ned and others consistently expect.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph...

Georgia legislators will introduce a bill early next month

Since when does INTRODUCING a bill mean it will become law? Every body has retarded bills introduced, it does not mean it will become law!

You're gonna have to be more specific, before I can shoot down whatever silly argument you're making today.

[David Floyd]

That's right, I don't know everything. Hard to believe, isn't it

, yeah, I couldn't believe that one either.

Actually, I did beat indictment on it, so maybe that qualifies as expertise.
