I'm sorry and I know that this might not be the right place for this, but I couldn't find any other place suited for this thread.

I would like to hear people's views on moral questions such as:

1) Abortion

2) Genetics and cloning

3) Animal Rights

4) Anything else you would like to contribute.

You don't have to reply to all topics, speak out about however many you like. Thank you all for your opinions. (I might even voice my own :p )

Locke

Notice: I would like YOUR opinions, not Bush's or Karry's.

Oh my. There are actually threads on most, if not all, of those topics already. Do a quick search.

1) Killing human beings is wrong, especially unborn ones.
2) Cloning - there is a place and time for this but not to recreate another like human being.
3) The world has gone crazy - there are more rights for animals then there are for humans. Please see number 1.

1) Killing human beings is wrong, especially unborn ones.

By saying "especially unborn ones" are you saying its worse to have an abortion then to kill a 2 year old?

3) The world has gone crazy - there are more rights for animals then there are for humans. Please see number 1.

That was funny...OK, now that I'm done laughing, can you please name these rights animals have that humans don't because the only one I can think of is "the right to die" or as we call it, "putting them to sleep"? And what does "Please see number 1" mean? Is abortion for animals illegal?

I can't find any rights for animals in the Constitution. So please inform the rest of us on these animal rights that us humans are still fighting for.

1. My mistake - unborn or 2 years old - its still the same
2. Sarcasm - get it!

and dont take things too personally - these are just my humble opinions - nothing to fret over.

Did I fret? No.

I am however, sick of this line that "animals have more rights than humans". I'm not animal rights activist (had fried chicken last night), but I would like to see your blanket statement that they have more rights than humans backed up with some proof or examples.

Cant think of any just yet - but when I do I will let you know.

The state government of Illinois is extending I-355 further south, and have been for a number of years, but due to some goddamned butterfly, they've delayed providing the taxpayers with the benefit of using it after almost 300 million dollars has spent to erect supports, buy property, and survey the land. The ecological impact of losing this particular butterfly is of almost no consequence, but yet, the activists almost always find new and better ways to f--k developing industry and thwart future commerce because they have a moral dilemma. There’s at least one example, amongst many others, I’m sure. Screw those bastards...

I know this funny story. There was this one town in Colorado i think, that had a dog for a mayor. But they didnt like him, so they elected a cat. No joke.

Thats not an example of animals getting more rights than humans because if humans were the ones that were going to be wiped out by extending the highway, the same thing would have happened. So, that may be equal rights in this case, but not more rights. I would condsider more rights to be when animals are allowed to do something and humans are not. I guess the only thing would be that they are allowed to kill and eat each other and humans aren't, but I hope none of you are complaining that this is a "special right" that humans should get.
