I'm well aware of that, but they still deserve some respect. They were soldiers of our nation - people who gave their lives in the name of their country. Likewise the soldiers who are in Iraq right now, though there for, in my opinion, completely inappropriate reasons, are our defence force. We...

haha I beg to differ!

[Threaten to] sue him for misrepresentation :) If fraudulent/negligent, you can get damages to pay for it. If innocent, you can wave the contract goodbye.

There's no need to go about banning everything. It may be socially frowned on and I certainly think it in poor taste but it's not harming anyone. There is no real need to infringe upon people's liberty with something like this. That's quite disrespectful. We should not forget about those who...

I did direct you to the threads posted, but basically because people deserve to be supported in their child's education, whatever school they choose. Not everyone attending a private school is filthy rich you know.

Public, but I still support funding private schools. I'm sure it's in those other threads somewhere

Better than thinking too little ;) Not if you abort, which is what we're talking about. No, it's proof that that particulary young person was not ready for a child. It does not mean they should not engage in sex at all. No, their mistake was not using contraception! If you read up on it, you'll...

Ah good, cause I'm not doing that :P Haha yeh, my lecturer co-wrote the Legal Research book - so I have been very careful to adhere to that heh

yeh that is weird... don't know how to interpret that one does that means your analysis was good but (a) it was a bit forced, (b) a bit abstract, (c) applying the theory to the observations was a bit incongruent?

lol what is this doreen approach you speak of.. is it heavily criticising the reading material?

Yeh so do we (Brown and Egger, 2 of the authors, are 2 of our crim lecturers. David Brown is a great lecturer, and he's really nice too.)

yeh I agree but apart from that it's good..well researched I'll be up for a few more hours :(

Unless you're slandering someone :P

Don't use the original example. There are no real principles of law being used so it is disingenuous to try and make a ratio out of it. If you mean this example: The ratio would be that: (i) Ice-cream constitutes "nice food" for the purposes of the Nice Food Act. (ii) Adults cannot prohibit...

What do you mean "when the time is right" ? John Stuart Mill, though he didn't 'invent it' so to speak, he built on Jeremy Bentham's ideas. Whether it's life or not, the argument does not have to hinge on that point. I see you didn't answer my question: if the only way you could save the entire...

Well they had been watching her in the same state for 9 years, 2 weeks isn't going to make a difference! It would be sad to see one of my family members die, obviously, but the fact they can't actually feel anything means I have no objections to them going in that fashion.

I would ask you this question: given the situation where the only way to save the world's population would be to kill a single person, would you do it? How does not having sex make for a peaceful life? Unless by peaceful you mean "more uneventful." Btw, there has been more than one study showing...

The fact that she's staunchly Christian probably rules out whatever submissive acts you gentlemen have in mind for her :P

She was incapable of feeling anything, hence it was not painful, and time was irrelevant.

A pity for you, you're missing out! Firstly, if you're going to bring a child into the world under terrible conditions, supremely reducing the quality of life for you, your partner and your child, one wonders whether it would be worth it -- ie. the greatest happiness for the greatest number...
