Do we say "Oh, if only we forced them to undergo gay conversion therapy, they would have never caught AIDS and died?" (i.e. -/+). No. Instead we've worked to advance science enough to the point where we have made AIDs a much lesser threat than it once was (homosexuality is now virtually +/+).Fuck me you are deluded. More people - ie gays - are contracting HIV now than ever before.

Quote:Now, as far as her responsibilities as parent go, you may be right. I'm just for doing what you want insofar as that doesn't hurt other people. Is going to an early grave hurting your love ones? Do you have a duty to sustain yourself for the sake of those closest to you? I'm not sure yet. If that's the case, where do you draw the line then? Because logically, if we have a duty to sustain our lives for the sake of others, then all six billion of us should be ethically compelled to be spending all our lives studying to be doctors so we could then spend our lives to find the cure for death. Where do you draw the line?Straw man argument.
Quote:Maybe we should?Um, no we shouldn't. Why would you consciously choose to give somebody negative reinforcement?

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
