if I own a sock, I bought it with my own money, and it's my fucking sock, if a hamster or puppy crawls into MY sock do I have a right to thwack it to death and not be guilty of killing it? That's the Abortion issue for me.
I see a woman's body as a tube, in a sense. Like a sock. There can be a life inside it, that is not a part of her body because it is its own body. Not a fan of abortion. My 2 cents.
I don't see life as a mathematical equation like that. 50% of you or me still isn't you or me. It's someone else.
No. It could be my clone at 100% and it still isn't me. I do not share its senses or thoughts, so it is not me. Therefore I have no right to say that it must die.
I intended to reply to you, but replied to myself like a derp. Even 100% shared DNA is not me. Since I do not share its 5 senses or thoughts, it is not me, so I have no right to say it must die.
Agreed; that was my point.
There could be another interpretation of 'Gold shall destroy fed' Like maybe a scandal involving gold, rather than a return to gold standard. It is just a thought.
Q said we have the gold. I wouldn't put it past someone somewhere to try to steal it, though. There was a tungsten gold-plate scare that happened several years ago. Q could mean Gold Standard, but I like to leave the option for other interpretations also.
