As of late, I've noticed several picks asking if it's murder if a crime is committed without mens rea. In all fairness, I'm paraphrasing, because none of these picks even mentions the words "mens rea" but the concept is the same.

For example, one pick asks if a priest should be convicted if he performed an exorcism which resulted in the link For that, I answered yes-- the priest should be convicted, atau at least charged with manslaughter-- but not murder. Similarly, there are link seperate link concerning the legalities of a burglar/trespasser getting shot and killed on someone else's property....

On and off for the past several years, I've been working on a bunch of artikel here on Fanpop: interviews (so many interviews....), comic articles, reviews, and various "What is..." explanatory articles. One of the ones on the back burner has been the "What is Debate?" article, and since I haven't finished that, I have to summarize some basic points about debate:

1) debat is all about using arguments to support a position, thesis atau statement.
2) debat requires opposition: at least two sides arguing the truth atau fallacy of the thesis.
3) debat requires an audience to judge the effectiveness...

I'd like to start oleh saying that this is just my personal opinion as to what a SJW is. I've come to notice that I have used SJW quite a bit on this spot and a few people don't know exactly what I mean oleh that. So I kind of thought it'd be useful to make this artikel explaining exactly what I mean when I use the term social justice warrior.
Before anything else; I intend no offense to anyone at all with this article. I don't hate social justice (not oleh any means), I think social justice is awesome. What I don't like is what some people turned the movement into.

First and foremost when I use SJW...

My friend, an evolutionist, and I, a Christian, always cinta to spend a few moments debating with each other about evolution, the "Big Bang" theory, and religion (mostly God).

November 7, 2008, he and I started at it again on Msn. He actually put my skills to the test, as neither of us have had no high school atau college education on religion (so far), but I have gone to Church weekly, and will hopefully continue doing so. My friend, is frankly just extremely smart (I honestly can't elaborate on that....

Even the Joker's Had Enough Of This Bullshit
I believe in debate, discussion, and discourse. I believe in listening. I believe in multiple sides to every issue. I believe everyone is worth listening to. I believe there can be fault on "all sides," and that we can all be guilty of misunderstanding each other.

I do not extend these courtesies to racists.

Ideas are dangerous. They are wonderful and they are disastrous. They can be used and misused as weapons atau agents of peace. But when anda are met with a truly deadly weapon, giving it the benefit of the doubt and letting it do its thing will get anda and many others killed.

When it comes to...

link, the only feedback I received revolved around definitions of racism. Sure, the concept of reverse racism was partially what the artikel was about, but it was also about what problems nonwhites have that whites don't face. It was also a daftar of grievances that need to be fixed. Those points were completely ignored.

When anda say that reverse racism doesn't exist, white people completely ignore the problems you're saying nonwhites face and the changes anda want to make to fight them. Instead, they do nothing constructive and just argue on behalf of whites. We - people on both sides of the debate...

Explaining What Makes America Great and Why We Must Protect It!

RUSH: Okay. Folks, let me get (for me on a Friday) a little serious here for a moment. I've had conversations in baru saja days, weeks, with liberals. Every time I mention this to you, I get, "Why are anda hanging around them?" Well, anda can't avoid 'em, and I'm not afraid of them. I like engaging them sometimes, because these people, many of them are just following a script. They've got their template, their narrative, and life is very compartmentalized and if something doesn't fit the little cocoon that they've woven for themselves...

While menulis linkI became fascinated oleh school boards. I had been to school board meetings before the book was in my mind. They were meetings that were not too different from the one I described in fiction. They took place during the late 1970’s, at the height of a three-week teacher’s strike.

As a high school senior, I thought that the teachers were foolish for walking out on their students. I had the union president as a teacher; she used post-strike class time to pontificate the union position—and I resented it. I felt that I was being used to carry the union’s message to my parents....

I found myself typing a long reply to one of MajorDork74's komentar on his link. If you're too lazy to click on the link, the image is a bumper sticker which says "If it's OK to call semak, bush Hitler, then I say it's OK to call Obama Muslim."

And the general response was, "Call him whatever anda want, but this statement doesn't make sense... how is being a Muslim as bad an insult as being called Hitler? I'm sure anda can think of worse and lebih accurate things to call Obama."

The Major returned with, and I quote: "Obama does a lot of things that people do not know about. How do anda know he does not...

Okay, okay I admit so far communism doesn’t seem to have worked too well, what with Stalin with his work camps and his unrealistic 5 years plans atau Mao with controversial philosophy and catastrophically cultural revolution. However firstly I’d like to argue that the model cited above don’t actually correspond to Marxism in its purest sense, at all. Mao’s theory, in fact has little atau nothing to do with Marxism. Mao’s conviction is lebih about the population’s ability as a whole to achieve anything through hard work and determination has nothing to do with the conventions of communism,...

The origin of life: During membaca an interesting novel about Dawkins and his theories on evolution, I discovered this particular bit. Dawkins has no solution for how life actually evolved, atau arose. Dawkins says: 'It is a complete mystery' (if anda wish to know more, read chapter 13 of The Greatest tampil On Earth: the Evidence for Evolution)

I would like to point out that I have not really found a viable explanation for the origin of life, yet. I suppose that people assume it was the Big Bang and the consequential events following after, which caused life to erupt in the form of micro-organisms....

Idk if anyone’s noticed (lol) but I’m filthy mad about this election. Not just because of Trump himself, but because the whole thing represents, better than anything, one of the world’s most significant problem in baru saja years. We are moving away from our Enlightenment ideals - tolerance, progress, and liberty - with fanfare. Under the guise of saving western culture, we are threatening its core principles. We are neglecting the lessons of history that millions fought and died for: authoritarianism is a dangerous (yet insidious) thing, vilification of minority groups is wrong (demonstrated,...

I see the concept for Schrodinger's Rapist getting a lot of flack. People, when confronted with this idea, say things like "This is stupid. Not everyone is a rapist!" atau "This is just feminist propaganda meant to instill paranoia in women and make them afraid of men."

I personally think that everyone who wants to abide oleh the theory has every right to do so. Let me give anda an example:

This is ALL made up but conversation is possable and in some cases has happened*


A woman was walking down the jalan, street when she saw a man membaca the bible.


Woman:Why are anda membaca that?

Man:*looks up* Because I'm Christian

Woman:Why are anda Christian?

Man:*shrugs* Because God is the creator of all things.

Woman:*smirks* Oh really? Are anda sure about that?

Man:*nods*

Woman:*sits selanjutnya to him* What about bananas? They are made oleh people.

Man:They are?

Woman:*nods* And our words, are the words we speak to communicate to one another made oleh him?

Man:No, but when I ment created all things I ment...

On July 11th, rubah, fox News' Kelly File featured a focus group to talk about the Dallas Shootings, Protests, Black Lives Matter, Obama, Race and more. This was in direct response to increasing tensions between the police and specifically the Black US population. If anda know anything about me, anda probably know how important I believe it is that people keep talking in a constructive manner in order to come to real solutions. This is why I do not like hypocrisy when it comes to tolerance. I just happen to believe in beating api with water, not with lebih api as I believe it only fuels it and makes...
