Okay, Dr. Death is good. Btw, I didn't say he was awful, he was just convicted of murder is all. Now kiss his feet.
Well, yes..lets bring up a subject that is irrelevant. sorry THE DEBATE is already going on....and yes, on Freeper we should be able to discuss all issues related to death and dying..no one on here is saying “Oh, just kill poeple.” You bring that up to stifle any discussion.
What other criminals are invited to universities (aside from drug users, pornographers and other moral deviants) to extol the "virtues" of their crimes?
I agree with he should not be able to profit from killing people. what would happen to this forum discussion if he gave the talk with no payment?....
the pro life group still would not have opposing views brought in for the students.
No, they can hear it from someone else, while another person presents the opposing side. Kevorkian is a convicted killer, who should still be serving his sentence, but was released early because of alleged health problems that prevent him from serving his sentence but clearly don't prevent him from much more strenuous activities, who will be paid $50,000 tax payer money to promote an immoral illegal act, thereby profiting from his crime, with no one to present an opposing view.
There was NO DEBATE about the legitimacy of killing the innocent until the culture of death came along.
Well, you just go right ahead and pretend that college students don’t discuss and ponder the ethics and morality of euthansia. You are again, off the topic.You just keep repeating the same thing and don’t really respond to my posts.
you can’t argue my points...so go ahead with your sarcasm.
I see. It's the ONLY solution now for your manufactured fantasies.
I do not believe in nuance when it comes to basic morality. There is right and there is wrong -- and there is no need to listen to anybody try to legitimize what is morally wrong.
Euthanasia (forced and voluntary) was open for debate about, oh, 70 or so years ago. But that was just in theory. When we saw how it worked in reality, the debate was shut down for decades. Everybody knew how wrong it was. But people forget.
nazis, communists, felons etc.
should they be banned? Nope. they should be debated and shown for who they are.
Are you suggesting that FR should be open to fascists and commies?
It’s my nap time. Toodles.
You are not even making sense now. What ‘fantasies” ?
did you not even read I said “really not a solution”? If you don’t even read the responses..forget it.
I don't doubt that at all, I simply fail to see why they should be exposed to views that are morally wrong.
My point was that he was a convicted murderer. You don't much seem interested in that little tidbit.
that is why the debate is so important now!
fine. Then I will spend time discussing these issues with young people. I will encourage them to look at all the various views and continue to discuss with them my moral values. Funny how young kids just “dont’take my word for it.” but I don’t mind taking the time and effort to explain it to them over and over and answer all their questions and viewpoints!
they may just then understand why moral values like the right to life are important.
You’re a good debater. If I paid you $50,000, would you get on stage with Kevorkian and debate him? Or would you agree with him?
My nap is not going very well.
