Whoa, are we arguing abortion, death penalty, intelligence of criminals, "potty mouths" or what????????????????????????????
1) yes, the aborted baby might have grown up to do something worthwhile but equally he/she would have done nothing of interest &/or become a criminal - let's not get into the realm of science fiction - or ifwe do why not debate what value each of us has been to the people on this planet & if we're of no value why not kill us!!
2) death penalty - yes, I am for it in specific limited cases - no we do not have it here - yes, I would do the deed - yes I have worked with serious criminals & so I have some concept of what i'm talking about from both a professional & an academic stance.
3) a very high percentage of criminals (including those on death row or who commit crimes that in certain countries would have them there) actually have very high intelligence quotients - they end up doing time because they drop out of school as failures due to the fact that they're bored to tears by the inane things they are supposed to learn & the slow rate of learning which is so far beneath their abilities - so they end up committing crimes, doing drugs etc.
4) "personally" I prefer to leave bad language in the toilet where it belongs, that said I am human & do use it myself & generally I don't think that i'm so much better than everyone else that I have the right to abuse or insult them for using bad language - although I will certainly do so if I feel that it has been used unfairly against an "innocent" prson.
5) any other debate topics??????????????????????????????????? :d
