I did try to discuss this topic with "Ouzian" in IM, to no avail.  Her claims of worries that her posts will be deleted show her persistence, fortitude, and concern.  ( I commend you for these projections of qualities, but)  The obvious glaring of extreme need to spread this word, this message, is shown by her >>(assumption based on avatar), other postings regarding the same subject.  It is also very clear that what her expressions convey in regards to this matter, are sprinkled with her fears.  And I also feel that based upon her posts, her links, and her blog information, that she wishes and intends to spread these fears.  It is clear, this fear does, as she does mention, help rule, and control.  (And I do agree with this).  There are many ways to control, or govern, a mass of people, and, some of these ways to govern have proven to be effective, and some very ineffective. (In regards to the best way for ALL social situations which we as a human race on earth face today-and there are many)  But the mystery truly is not what lies beneath Ouzians belief, and its possibility of validity, not at all!  The real mystery is why then does she not wish to participate in discussions in IM, or through other modes of correspondence with others, like myself, who show EFFORT in wishes to participate, and listen, in the direct concern towards her messages of understanding or beliefs, that could possibly lead to other followers of her belief, and help her cause?   (Persistence, fortitude and concern?)  To me this lack of communication shows contradiction in motive, shows lack of intitiative, NO EFFORT, and therefore, PROVES that some great "efforts" without real ACTION, are, like time does prove some things to be, ineffective, and, it is like trying to climb to the top of a pole that is covered in grease. (wasted energy).  I have many, many opinions in regards to what is going on in the world today, and have even been very expressive of these opinions to many people, through many modes of expression, and have always welcomed any open discussion to help people see the good, and bad, in different ways of having things work, globally.  (Because obviously, some things just don't work-that pole thing again.)   At this stage of the game, the most important thing is to keep the big-picture in mind, the long-haul.  Strengths and Weaknesses,  Problems and Solutions.   So, please help me understand then, Ouzian, why do you run so very, very fast, but insist on doing so by running in place?  Ineffective.  My real question to YOUR question, since I have already answered, and I will find it fair that YOU do not breach MY allowance in expression on the matter which you brought forth, in public forum, and at hand, now being met with discussion, as you wish-is that true mystery- Why did you even bother to post this?

If there were enough 4 legged animals, it would be cause for peta to speek. They love to hear themselves talk.\n I am waiting for some moron to call our millitary baby killers again because a child was killed.\nThe mother was to blame. Being any place zarqawi was is putting yourself in harms way.

The question you ask is a moral one. One one hand the person was seeking mercy to get out of pain. On the other hand it would have been a violation of international laws to have done so. It would be considdered murder to do that. I mean just look at Jack Cavorkian for example. He televised an assisted suicide that got him convicted and imprisoned. I mean are we God? Uthenasia is a very Hot issue. Personally I would not have shot her for obvious reasons. I am not God and life and death is not my decision to make. Thats God's territory.

We covered this in my Contemporary Moral Problems class. It really made me think about it in a different way in that I was kind of oblivious to how it could be abused. I always thought that if someone wanted to end his or her own life, they should be able to do so, especially if they were in any sort of pain. I realize that sucks for the family and friends of that person, but if they really cared about the person, they would understand and at least be there for them. But then you have to think about the Teri Shivos of the world who never mentioned whether or not they would want to be kept alive. The power now lies in the hands of the family and doctors. I think a better question here would be who should be allowed to handle such a decision. That involves an issue of power- a power perhaps no one should have over anyone. That could lead to someone killing another out of spite or even out of some sort of monetary gain. While I completely agree that if someone wants to end their life, they should be able to- but some serious thought needs to go into who should have the power if someone is unable to make that decision for themselves.

How many more people are going to make fools of themselves over Sealing.  Do you realize that just the ones who never seen the Atlantic Ocean are the complainers.  Even Last Night Pamela Anderson made a fool of herself at the Juno's.\nPaul and Heather McCarthey probably never seen a seal until last month..  They are over running our east coast and eating our food fish.  They are even comming up our river chasing fish and dying up here.\nWHY DONT THESE PEOPLE TRY AND SAVE A POOR STARVING OR ABUSED CHILD....  THESE LITTLE CHILDREN ARE DYING EVERY DAY AND SUFFERING FOR A LONG TIME.

In a remote South African gold mine, a miner was setting dynamite to blast a seam when it exploded taking one of his legs clean off.  As he was stretchered out, he was heard to sob "What will happen to me? I have a family to look after, we are very poor...who's ever going to want a one legged gold digger?" then his mobile phone rings..."Hello?  Who?  Oh, Sir Paul...what an honour..."\n\nOR...\n\nDid you hear that Paul's giving Heather her own plane as part of their divorce settlement?  She still has to shave the other leg herself though.

I think it PETA was wrong in this case, and that this was done in bad taste. First, Beyonce having dinner with them was an act of CHARITY  (benefitting "Save the Music"). What was the thinking there? "Let's make Beyonce look bad....WHILE she's doing charity!"\n\nAs a result, PETA has created this divide and hurt their cause. While Beyonce's use of fur should be questioned, they certainly chose the wrong venue. Jeers to PETA.

That right has always been forfeited, when have we ever legally had the choice to die? Our pets do, but we do not. Its just the law. It doesnt stop anyone from doing it though, so what does it really matter. Love Heidi

Do you know, if you started the cult of the Giant Chain smoking yellow orangutan up, I might just join, as I'm sure will many others. Then thousands of years into the future, people will indeed be fighting out the mighty yellow ones' smoky existence with as much energy as the fight out the existence of god on here at the moment. \n\nI get your point, it is valid. Christians won't though, I guarantee you.

Doesn't it seem as if people cling to their beleifs so hard, they will refuse to acknowledge anything that might question that? I mean, what if you found out that your Mom was a crackwhore for the first half of her life and you were the offspring of her pimp? (no offense to any mothers. This seems to be the case. besides, those 2000 year old beleifs, were the beleifs for 2000 years. This Da Vinci schmuk has just surfaced as a new beleif that can be considered by the mases. Or is it... global warming? I haven't read the book nor seen the movie, but I am familiar with the subject matter through schooling. When in school, or watching a movie that makes you think, it is enlightening. If we did not question things, there would be no need for Jesu, right? Why stop questioning now. I apologize, but it seems this Da Vinci controversy has surfaced the weakest of humans and found great fault in religion just by questioning it, whether true or not. The uproar confirms this. And for the twist... I agree with the author of this question, maybe not in the exact same sense. But I am God folks, not the one you all know, but my own. Think about this concept! What does God do for you? What is his purpose? Can these things be accomplished by yourself? It can be done.

Aim a celebrity with my dog, he goes nuts when he sees me. And he is truth full and loyal to me, so that is as much as i would like to be a celebrity, because most people are not as truth full as my dog, nor are they that loyal. I love my dog right back, he is my earthly celebrity....KECK

Oh No, our first argument as Friends!\nI was raised into a hunting family, we hunted for food, not pleasure, we didn't trophy hunt, but if it was a trophy animal it was a plus. I haven't hunted in about three years, because i am not in need of the food they provide, but if the need arises I'll have to do it again. The pleasure I receive is not from the hunt, but rather being out in nature. I actually feel bad about the kill. Now, I also believe in culling the herds, it gets the sick ones out, eradicating Wasting Disease (it's like Mad Cow Disease) is a high priority for me.\n   I would much rather have 5,000 killed by hunting than 15,000 die of starvation when there is way to many for their particular environment and not enough food to go around...starving to death has gotta suck! Now about that church thing..I dunno if they do that or not! The people who kill for food far outweigh those who trophy hunt.
