Well I don't remember that, my apologies

Anyway, copyright: copy + right gives the author of an original work the exclusive right to the publication, distribution, etc of the work. Copyright law is the law that gives the right, but the right itself is...a right!

Nothing. I was no longer addressing you at that point. I was just too lazy to quote.

Through the godvoordommmen.nl website I found this article from a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California, Riverside. :

Zuk M, Bailey NW (2008) Birds gone wild: same-sex parenting in albatross. Trends in Ecology and Evolution 23:658-660.

Pretty interesting stuff.

Only a right in law and thus it is merely a legal distinction, copyright is just a name. It could be called anything ("act of copy" 2001 or whatever) ... it happens to be called what it is.

Were you trying to use that argument to prove that rights exist?

Kyu

Well given that it is a right, yes. I don't think a society can function without some basic rights laid down by laws.

Guys, take it to another thread if you want to continue.

No such thing as homosexuality, it's just a fetish. And just because something is "natural" doesn't make it right. Molesting children is natural and has been observed in other animal species.....but then again, they are animals.

Besides no animal would prefer a member of the same sex over the opposite. They only fuck eachother because they have no self-control and no females around to satisfy their impulses.

Dogs fuck chair legs and teddy bears, doesn't make it ok for a human to do it.

What an interesting perspective. Be fascinated to learn from the basis of your evidence, especially the notion that"homosexual= child molestor" (Most child molestors are in fact HETEROSEXUAL)


Last time I looked, human beings WERE animals, a species of mammal. I reject the claim that we are "special animals" [except to ourselves]

"No animal would---" is a no true Scotsman fallacy.

I also read your fatuous rant against atheism and atheists. I'm sure just about everything you said is true of some or ,even many atheists.But no claim is true of ALL atheists.


Just two examples:

I do not now and have never claimed human society would be better off without religion. I have seen no evidence to suggest that would be the case.My belief is religion as we understand it would be replaced by something else,such as a political cult of the individual. Such as occurred in Russia,China, North Korea and North Vietnam.

Although I do see some correlation between high education, high intellect and atheism, I do not conflate 'correlation' and 'causation'.

I do NOT consider atheists as a group superior in ANY WAYS to believers. Atheists are simply normal human beings who do not believe in god(s).

My perception is that both the atheists and believers one comes across on forums are atypical. Perhaps a mistake to drew broad conclusions about either as a group from what one sees on places such as this..

EG: I honestly can't remember the last time I actually met a believer as ignorant,arrogant and aggressive as many of those get on atheist forums.

No such thing as homosexuality? What an absurd statement, how can you possible believe such a thing? But then again, I suppose you are in the market for believing the ridiculous.

Well,he's suffering from a severe case of Catholicus chronicus. When you consider some of the REALLY loopy stuff he believes-------- that seems pretty trivial really.
