I know that I am probably going to get a lot of bashing after posting this, but here goes. I am going to pray about who I should vote for most definately. So the LORD could change my mind. Nevertheless if I were casting my vote today, I think I would vote against the Republicans. As I heard on NPR yesterday, 30 yrs ago the average CEO made 20 times what the average worker of the company made. Today the average CEO makes 400 times what the average worker makes.
Say what you want but the Republican party is favoring the upper class and by doing so they are diminishing the middle class to become more like the working class.
People if the we lose our middle class we will lose more and more of our democratic republic.
hmmm. so the republican party passed what legislation that allows CEOs to make 400 times what the average worker makes?
I think that might be a good place to start a nice respectful conversation. (and I aint bashing you)

Bro, I dont want to be overly contentious with ya or nuthen but well... no ya didnt....
here is your exact quote:
Isn't it murder when we step on a ant or snail, run over a squirrel or possum, put a dog or cat to sleep? What about killing a rat with a rat trap? What about hunting?
Isn't that murder, or are those life forms worthless piece of trash?
Oh and bully for you that you are against abortion. its nice to be against abortion. I recomend it.
never the less, I stand by my statement.
Re-phrase your stance on abortion please.
When one takes the life of any life-form, that is murder. At least, that's what murder signifies here on Earth.
When one takes the life of any life-form, that is murder. At least, that's what murder signifies here on Earth.
well. actually murder as defined by American law... and most nations law in general.... and the OT in particular, is the taking of innocent human life.
however, can we agree that what you said and what you said you said are somewhat different?
also I thought we were talking about killing animals? why the concern with the subject of abortion?

I know solid conservatives that are prochoice because they don't believe the government's role is to essentially seize a pregnant woman's body and force her to give birth. They say that as disturbing as abortion might be the final decision should rest with the woman alone. Now, that doesn't make it moral or right in any given circumstance. But the notion from these conservatives I was reading about is that a prochoice approach is a necessary evil in a civil society. Women should be educated about abortion and advised against it but the choice is best left in her hands.
Don't know what any of y'all will think about that, but I thought I'd drop it here since we're discussing abortion, murder, and life ethics. Frankly...that's all the Republicans have going for them this election.
