By TOBY STERLING Associated Press Writer
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- Raising the stakes in an excruciating ethical debate, a hospital in the Netherlands - the first nation to permit euthanasia - recently proposed guidelines for mercy killings of terminally ill newborns, and then made a startling revelation: It has already begun carrying out such procedures in a handful of cases and reporting them to the government. ...
Its nice to see that my 'insensitive' morals aren't as rare as I thought. |

We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep.
And now what do we get? We're the fucking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really?
Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard? ( Read more...Collapse )

Subject: Biweekly Prayer for the Nation From: "Thomas Patrick Davenport" <[email protected]> Newsgroups: cmu.misc.market Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 15:21:49 -0400 (EDT)
Hi!
My name is Thomas Davenport, and i'm a third-year history student.
I don't know about you, but because my life has been so blessed in recent months with an abundance of activity--most manditory, but some just for fun--i've been feeling more and more disillusioned with the amount i've done to get involved in rocking the upcoming vote. At one point, i even made extensive plans to host a website but did not bring them to fruition, so i've become down-right pessimistic, and i think that it is having an ill effect on our tenuous national fate currently hanging in the balance.
However, i take heart for i am also a young person of the spirit, and so it occured to me that a way to unburden myself of this guilt while simultaneously doing one of the most potent things i possibly could for the fate of the nation is to pray about the upcoming election. I absolutely feel that, in the spirit, as in politics, there is strength in numbers, so i am compelled to sound this call to the arms of peace. Who's with me?
Please email if interested, and we'll get started right away. I am picturing meeting in an unoccupied location on campus (TBA) twice a week and coming together to pray for, say, 15 minutes, once we get underway?
I myself am equally comfortable with silent and extemporaneous prayer, but i believe in its healing powers, no matter what the vehicle, and what this nation needs right now is just that--healing! The other issues will be resolved as soon as we open the lines of communication. Let's join hands for our future and future generations and focus our intentions on getting the best man into office for universal prosperity, whoever that may be!
I can feel our strength mounting already! Write back soon!
Peace be with you, Thomas Davenport "Be the change you wish to see." -Mohandis Gandhi
PS I feel it goes without saying that this call to prayer is completely non-sectarian. All individuals who have experienced the wonder of prayer, all believers in a brighter tommorrow, are emplored to respond, and, in this way, perhaps we can not only heal the nation on the grand scale but right here at CMU as we knit together as a community of hope.

Today I went and picked up the m3. I can't wait for the breakin period to be over.
I had been a little nervous about the color I choose. I was quite pleased when I saw it in real life.
