Its a slippery slope argument she's making, she could be referring to adultery, people say the same thing and they stone women to death for real life in Islamic countries, Ive seen videos of it or homosexuals and Mathew Sheppard or being born black like dragging death of James Byrd in Texas, if the genetic argument holds then you are killing someone for being who they are. Thats where the genetic argument always breaks down. Why the death penalty can be criticized b/c unless they confess you may be executing an innocent man, which has happened even though people argue that every death and the liberty and rights guaranteed by the constitution is taken by the state. They continue to argue that even though DNA has exonerated people completely on death row. ITs about the system and who decides what is right and wrong, is adultery wrong, is molesting a child wrong, is homosexuality wrong, is heterosexuality wrong. Its the basic fundamental question of faith and what people beleive. The people of Nambla thinks that its natural and they group together and advocate it. Personally I could kill those people in Nambla and think the world woud be a better place. But what separates us from the barbarism and brutality of Islamic countries that stone a woman for adultery or burn the woman's clitorus off with a hot poker or cut it off in a brutal fashion to prevent her from having a sex drive? Questions that every one needs to address at some point in their life and stop arguing and make a decision on what is right and what is wrong. Like Timothy Mcveigh, he deserved to die, it was just justice, but what is perfect justice? Eye for an eye, code of Hammurabi, where do we base our ideas of the legal system on? Precedence of course going back to English law and courts and decision. Our ideas of liberty and french philosophers like Voltaire and Russo etc...its why we should study Western Civilization so that we understand the world. That is the problem with teaching multiculturalism and deleting texts and lessons in favor diversity like replacing the teachings of people that influenced this country with an african american course. Sure we shoud learn it, just like we should learn from every culture, we learn from the best of the best. Like Romans, they were a very different peoples indeed, they didnt have international flights, they couldnt get on a plane and go across the world, five hundred miles away from them was terra incognita, they had no idea what was happening there, they believed in many Gods, some of us in no Gods, they were polytheists, the idea of monotheism was completely strange to them. Yet they had many things to offer and we should learn those things, learn the best of that culture. The same with the Chinese, their paintings are fine, their artwork is fine, they have much in the way of eastern religion and philosophies, like the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tze, Book of Menchas, the Tao. But why stop there? You go to India and read the Rig Veda the aponoshads the rambayana, Brahman it keeps going. You take the best of the best of each culture and learn it and teach it, Indian teachings etc.. Socrates, Plato.
http://mb-soft.com/believe/txo/philoso.htm Thats what education should be about, take the best of the best to make our children smarter and more enlightened about their own country. Once you go down these slippery-slope arguments they just keep going on any tangent you want. So why argue? Why make statements, b/c if youre not educated and youre the one deciding who lives and dies, then the system breaks down. Thats why we have judges and courts and professionals and Supreme Courts, people that devote their lives to these rules and histories and precedents. Thats why it cracks me up when someone says the stupid supreme court gave Bush the election, why they put down people who devote their whole lives to figuring out the world day in day out to make people safe and why all the information said Iraq had WMDs and why hindsight is twenty/twenty. But good honest, intelligent dedicated people did their best and gave the best advice to one man and he had to make a decision that would affect the world. Now people are saying just leave Iraq, but guess what, Zarqawi is there and he is the defacto leader of Al Queda and intelligence sources say that he is contact with Osama Bin Laden and theyve agreed to step up attacks on Western Europe, people that want to kill us and people may find out that London bombing was b/c of Al Queda and people are giving their lives to find these men and bring them to justice. These people think they are right and that we should die. Why? B/C they are Islamic Fundamentalists, the same thought that women who commit adultery should be stoned. People should have their heads cut off b/c they are associated with the US. Do you see how dangerous it is to make that decision of why someone should die? Why should you kill a child molestor or someone or something. B/C you go down that slippery-slope. What does it all mean? Its the system we have and its the best one in the world and people want to destroy us for that b/c they cant comprehend this type of talk that Im saying. Its hatred of free thinking. That is my message to the world, that Im am destined to become world leader to bring Heaven on Earth. Strike that, Ive decided on the Dalai Lama, who hates the Dalai Lama?? If they do then they are wrong. Well, Ive rambled too long, Ive got to finish writing my books.
