To me that just sounds like all states will eventually end up enacting the same regulations so they can work together. Not sure how that is different than national regulations....except we wouldn't have fifty separate state departments. |

I think your ideology is blocking your intellect. You are way smarter than that....think it completely through and you will see the many benefits a system like this would offer over the current system. |

I think I should be given some credit in terms of not just simply towing the company line -- there are several ideological differences that I've stated where I differ from the democratic party (death penalty, for example). I think there are subjects where states should be making individual decisions and cases where the issue is best served by having the federal government make those decisions. I think you would agree -- for instance, I am sure you feel that abortion is something that should be considered murder and therefore should not be left to states; rather, it should be outlawed by the federal level. |

I don't think I've ever accused you of towing the company (democrat) line, but you are an admitted liberal, and tend to impulsively follow that line prior to thinking an issue through....or so it seems sometimes, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, I stated on this thread that the federal government needs to preserve and protect our freedom and equality, and clearly murder qualifies as a removal of ones freedoms. This is not an issue by issue stance, or one out of convenience regarding the abortion issue for me, rather it is perfectly consistent with my view. |

It's my opinion that people's health and lives being affected by impure foods would fall under freedom breaching as well, IMO. |

you are not forced to eat the food....thus it is not a removal of a freedom. |

:facepalm: Please tell me you were kidding, or just weren't thinking when you said that brum. If you view abortion as murder, the victim isn't the person having the abortion brum....and the victim has death forced upon them. |

Of course I was being facitious (sp), but I just don't understand how you view life as sacred but not quality of life. Edited by brumdog44, Dec 10 2011, 10:32 AM.

stopping the potential pregnancy one millisecond before the sperm penetrates the egg = "good birth control" one millisecond after = "murder" Doesn't seem like much gray area there... |

I view masturbation as murder, and I know most you multi platinum serial killers on here just need to face the facts. |

but stopping in one millisecond prior to the 9th week (or whenever it is that you think it shouldn't be illegal) is OK, but one millisecond after is wrong? Seriously Lars...no matter where you set it, there will always be a "millisecond" prior and after. |

I do not believe that it is OK for someone to remove or reduce your "quality of life" either brum. |

I like the way bill hicks states his view on masturbation..."i've wiped civilizations off my chest with gym socks" ...miliseconds...hillarious |

Gray, you're helping me make my point. There's almost no difference between 9 weeks +- a day or two, or even a noticeable difference between seven and nine weeks. |
