Abortion

This is a paste from a debate I am having against my friend Jeremy. I just want you guys to read this.

Before this, Jeremy said that he is for McCain, as he is against gay marriage and abortion also. He regretted that:

I am for Obama. Gay Marriage and abortion are personal choices, and everybody should have the right of choice.

You are killing off an empty shell. If the personality is already in there, than we would be robots with all our responses pre-programmed in for us. and robots are boring and cannot love.

the soul is a consciousness. and unless you can remember the face of the person who pulled you out of your mom, than you did not have a consciousness either as a newborn.

i would not feel or understand what she said. The Ben you are messaging is his collection of memories, experiences, and personality. All these things influence my decisions. On the other hand, the Ben that could be aborted (ie, in my mother's womb) would not have the mental capacity to understand 'decision', or if, i could, would choose either, for i have no experience and no ethics.

Are you going to resort to insults now?

You mean, "a time to be born and a time to die" ?

In abortion, you are not actually born. You are still in the womb. but if "born" means from conception to actual birth, than yes, that would be a legitimate passage.

Anyway, what was the "but do u beleive babies are humans." stuff? Are you saying i think that babies are not humans? if so, than of course babies are humans. But if you say, do you think that babies are human beings, with a soul and a conciousness and a personality pre programmed in, than no, babies are not humans (with a conciousness and soul)

this has been a wonderful debate. this is so going on my blog.

Must think of new word.... and news.

I am having trouble thinking of new funny and sometimes useful words that are excessively long.

Neo·logi·longi·ridi·nomy: (Neeo·loji·lonji·ridi·nommy) The act of inventing excessively long words that have humorous definitions. Usually created by attaching several roots together.

Neo: new

Logi: word

Ridi: laugh

Longi: long

Nomy: name (I seriously did not make these roots up.)

Brilliant! I needed that a year ago when I started this stupid blog.

One person is reading this blog. how sad.

Isn't that depressing? One person. Whoever he or she is needs to tell everyone he knows about just how great my blog is. Sigh.

This is a temporary post, more to come soon.

Civilization sucks.

Well, first day back in civilization, and, as always, Dad is angry. He takes snafu to a whole new dimension.

Poor guy.

Anyway, I get wailed on verbally while i hardly did something involving the phones, and it turns out that it wasn't my fault in the first place. Imagine that.

So much better...

Today was much better than yesterday when it comes to CSDC(Cub Scout Day Camp). I got fired from Shooting Sports instructor and hired as a "Gopher"-

Ben, go get those games cleaned up for me.
Go find -insert male child's first name here- and bring him here for me, will you?

Yeah. I'll get your crap. I'll need a buddy, though.

The advantage to my job was, I was in the front pavilion, where I watched the hilarity unfold-on myself and others.
For example, we had this little crossfire involving ice cold water and sneak attacks. A girl at staff, Ashley Sutton, wet me because I did something, insulted someone, heck, I don't know. That ended up where we were scolded and me saying "She started it." Now, the scolding was done by her mother, who was also wet by the first blast, so she acknowledged that she started it.

Ashley likes me. I can tell by the way she wet me at random intervals during the day.

Yesterday I got the news while blogging that I have completely finished the Personal Fitness merit badge.(for info on this merit badge, and why this is such a big deal, click here) I was ecstatic. I was officially one step closer to getting Eagle Scout.

Cub Day Camp

Cub Day Camp is awful.
I go into shooting sports as staff, and within two days, it has taken it all out of me.
So I successfully took a break and am resuming my desolate blog.

In other news, I am reading the book The Golden Ratio by Mario Livio. As most readers of this blog should know by now, I aspire to be a Renaissance man: a true philosopher, or lover of wisdom. This book quenches my insatiable thirst.
The book is about the most astonishing number known to humanity, φ (or Phi), the ratio of the whole to the larger as the larger to the smaller, or put another way, x^2=1+x. Phi pops up everywhere, from botany, to art, to geometry, to optics, to galaxies.

I have no idea when I will post again.

aww. i just remembered...

sigh. i just remembered that this blog still exists. what was i doing all this time?

I went to summer camp last week,
I bought a new computer for 5 dollars,
School ended. (passed)
Was fired from Senior Patrol Leader. wOOt!
