Ethics and Legal Ethics
You obviously understand nothing about "legal ethics", confusing it with "ethics". Obviously, arguing something to be true that you know to be false is extremely dishonest and unethical. But legal ethics demands it. Similarly, legal ethics demands that you do everything in your power if it will help your client -- or at least this holds for legal ethics in some cultures, and the whole point of legal ethics is that no one should be criticized for doing something in its name. He was representing his clients which does not prove his *gasp* moral compass.
Morality
While I agree that, unfortunately, abortion is often used a birth control, I still don't feel that I want that choice to be taken away. I do have two children, one teenager, one close to becoming a teenager. So far, they are VERY open with us (sometimes I wish they weren't so open ;-), and we are fortunate. There are many children who have parents who aren't involved at all or who they are scared to death of. I will always vote against parental notification laws with regards to abortion. I know opinions are mixed regarding this, and I hope my children would always come to me, but I still don't feel this should be a legal requirement.
Your point about homosexuality bugs me a bit. Believe it or, people have always been gay throughout time. I am fortunate to have many homosexuals as wonderful friends, both men and women. To know these people, I cannot accept that they would choose to be this way. I feel this is the way they were born, not a choice they made. And, since I believe God made everyone, perfect in their own way, I accept them as children of God and believe that God accepts them as well.
As to whether homosexuality is unchristian, I have never seen a reference to it in Jesus' teachings. There are mentions of homosexuality in the bible, but not spoken of by Jesus. There are far more references to tithing and money, but I don't see the world up in arms because people are not tithing.
Morality.
My problem with homosexuality is more than moral, as I outlined in my post. It is the pushing of their beliefs on a society, many of whom do not agree with their belief system. Much as abortion has been hailed as a right, we are now faced with a society that expects special rights for homosexuals, whether we want this or not. It's funny that while Christians are once again persecuted on a daily basis, the above rights are pushed to the forefront. The thought of a teenager having an abortion without parental involvement is horrific to me. This demonstrates the chiasm that exists in moral degradation in this country. I cannot imagine a child of mine making this decision without me. The fact is, no child of mine would even consider it. We value life and God's blessings above all things. As far as interpretation of the Bible, we all know that this interpretation is relative. I will fall back on the addage of love the sinner, hate the sin. I have homosexual friends, too.
So she teaches ethics in writing. SM
And lots of my family lives on the West Coast. I didn't realize your friend, who exaggerates, is the spokesperson for the price of gasoline. Know what, Lurker, I think this is the first time I ever felt the need to post something proving your wrong. I think you are the one with the problem. Get over it.
Common sense and ethics
seems to become less and less around these days. I agree with your post. The b/c issue is so the least of my worries and I simply don't understand exactly what it is the supporters of same want to accomplish.
I fear we haven't seen anything yet. Heard on CNN (which of course some will say is not credible) that the unemployment rate could reach 20% within the next few months. I should think with MTs not having enough work now, that would keep them sufficiently busy worrying. I don't know what Obama will do. All I know to do is pray. I think it is entirely possible that Bush AND the congress have put us so far in the tank there may not be any way out economically. My guess is that we will be taken over by one of our creditor nations and there goes what's left of our freedom, certainly the freedom to get on the internet and state our thoughts. But then Bush has bought himself a ranch in Argentina isn't it? So if his residence in Big D doesn't suit him along with the condition he has left this country in, he has an escape. Unfortunately most of us can't afford that luxury so we'll be left to deal with the mess he and the idiot congress have left us along with a massive debt in proportions I cannot begin to comprehend.
Yes, there are many more things at this point that are far more important than the b/c issue. Wouldn't surprise me if these lawsuits are being filed to dupe people who believe everything they hear. As I've said before, I do not believe that those who are keeping this b/c thing rolling posting the same thing over and over and over are actually MTs. I think they are promoting a political agenda. I have said this before and I notice no one has posted challenging my thoughts.
I had a great holiday. Thanks for asking. I hope you had a great time too.
Wonder how that SP ethics part 2 deposition is going?
Wonder if she can manage to stay out of the court system until after November 4th.
You said you can't legislate morality....
those were your words, not mine. Yes, it is the fault of the left, no right or wrong, only shades of gray, in the name of free expression we have near porn in prime time, do whatever you want and no one will hold you responsible...those are not conservative morals. Those are liberal morals. If the shoe fits, you gotta wear it. THis permissive society you so wanted is here. Trouble is, we are all sowing what the left reaped.
Yes, equate a baby being sliced and diced in the womb with nowhere to run (how much more innocent can you get) to causalties in war? Where is your sympathy for all the millions Saddam killed? What an oxyMORON. Partial birth abortion? Babies born alive and left to die? YOU might as well advocate torture!
What elitist crap! Go Nascar? You better be really happy those folks are out there, because if we are attacked on our own shore it will be the Nascar folks who save your elitist hind-end. It sure won't be your crowd.
What look down your nose condescending post. You must be so proud.
All that ethics housecleaning comes back to haunt SP.
The moment McCain made his announcement of the Palin pick, I googled her name and the troopergate investigation was the first thing that came up. I remember this well because I posted a lengthy piece on this forum after I found out who she was. It's still there in the archives. She was already in deep poop over this before anybody ever knew she would be the VP pick….something that McCain in his infinite wisdom decided to overlook in his haste to pull a maverick political stunt and try to reign in all those disaffected Hillary voters, for all the good it did him.
At that point, there had been no democratic team of attorneys (independent investigators, not sent by the Obama campaign) or media scrutiny. You can hardly lay the blame for this fiasco on Obama, though I am sure you would like to try. Furthermore, the investigation at that point was being conducted by the Alaska State Legislature. I will not take a great deal of time trying to argue with you over the bias or democrat witch hunts you are trying to insinuate. Facts are facts, dear, and I have no sympathy for poor little Palin who made an entire political career based on ethics housecleaning only to end up on the short end of that stick by her own hand. This is your candidates' and campaign's problem, not mine. Palin is obviously not ready for prime time and can't hold her own with the big boys. No surprise there.
So tell us: Where is the morality in bombing family
The TRULY morally bankrupt do more evil in this world than everyone or everything else combined, and then then hide behind their 'religious beliefs'. Or their pointed white hoods. Same difference.
Legality does not equal morality.
Many things in this country are legal that God would disapprove of. You cannot serve God and man. I wouldn't go so far as to call this murderer a doctor. Doctor's try to save lives. He was far from a doctor.
So Christians aren't supposed to political? Or we aren't supposed to let our morality, faith
our conscience guide us politically?
I'm sorry, that is a separation I cannot make. My faith and religious convictions are part of the whole person that I am. I vote my conscience. I want political leaders who reflect my morality. I also happen to believe there are many Christians out there like me. There is no "separation" of church and state for me, which by the way was a concept (nowhere specifically mentioned in the constitution) meant to protect the church from the government more so than the government from the church.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that commercial. There are condom commercials, "personal" lubricant commercials, and penis and sexual performance enhancing commercials -- why would anyone be offended by a pro-life commercial? The fact that anyone would be offended is a testament to just how twisted society has become!
No it shows that I know something
you haven't bothered to check out for yourself.
France was right about IRAQ.
And WE IGNORED HITLER's atrocities until OUR economics were at stake, THEN we did the right thing, but NOT BEFORE.
Maybe it shows
how "frugal" the McCain/Palin ticket would be in the White House, you reckon??? So Mrs. O's dress looked like it came from a yard sale? So what? She is clean and she is neat, that's all I require. Why should candidates have to "look like they came from Saks Fifth Avenue to impress people?" I used to like to go in Saks in Houston when I lived there just to see how the upper crust lived. I did actually make purchases...............they had the most fabulus truffles you ever sank your teeth in........my weakness. t I would indulge even though they cost $6 EACH and that was back in the 80s. Lord knows what they cost now.
It just shows the
true character of our president-elect. He is stepping up to the rudderless ship regardless of the consequences. His presidency is not a desire for power, a desire to upstage daddy, or a way to ensure future big bucks giving speeches or sitting on a board of a corporation. He is doing it simply for the love of his country. Bless him.
Where would we end up if everyone of us shows off
what looks good on us???????
I think this shows...
how ignorant so many in this country are to our own history. I guess that's why we keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
This shows you exactly how much you know about the terrorists. sm
And THAT has been the worst part about all this. Bush hatred has not only fried you to crispy critters, it has made you dangerously ignorant.
i'm trying to pull that up and it shows
not sure what is going on.
You ask me about fear? I do believe things can and will get better. This is not something that is going to happen overnight and to be honest with you, I believe it will be worse with Obama.... Regarding the economy, there is a lot of fingerpointing and obviously I myself cannot be sure where exactly this started but we have had a democratic congress.
Pretty much shows
what we could expect from his administration. More lunacy. He wanted to win at all costs and he no doubt thought Palin would deliver Clinton supporter's votes. After that fiasco how anyone can think he will turn this country around is beyond me.
This one shows him more clearly - he says it toward the end of the clip (sm)
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=pf0XIRZSTt8&NR=1
why delete? it shows a pic
of a radical looking Obama and a soldier McCain???? What's the matter my liberal friend? Don't like the truth? Is it NOT obama in his true form and not mccain in HIS true form? Maybe you object to them using a picture that doesn't portray a Messiah look?
Nope, sure can't. When God shows me
I just gotta plow right on through.
Class certainly shows.
The UK presents diplomatic gifts of great antiquity, value and meaning and in return we hand them, what? Plastic model planes? Talk about a low-rent reception! Yeah, I guess we really are illustrating that we don't care enough to give the very best.
I find most politicians on these shows
respond with rehearsed speech, or just do not answer the question. On Hardball, Chris will say answer the question, yes or no, over and over and over and whoever just goes off on whatever tangent.
That just shows the level of insensitivity....
this is an anonymous posting board. You people have posted nastiness about someone and named them. Dailykrap posted it where the entire nation can look at it. You have invaded the privacy of a 16-year-old girl who has done nothing to deserve it and made her public fodder. Perhaps you are proud of that. I cannot imagine that you would be, yet you attack me and support those who would do such a thing. Amazing.
i think for one reason it shows he is not a judgmental...
hypocrite like some of you posting here. This from the party of tolerance? What a load of bullhockey.
definitely shows poor judgement
xx
Just shows Fox DOES show both sides....
she let the other side have it too about their dishonest ads...though you probably won't find that part on Huffington Post.
It seems to me that this study shows that conservatives (sm)
are MORE concerned about others than democrats. They see a picture of SOMEONE ELSE who is hurt or dead and they react more than the democrats. I used to think of myself as being fairly liberal, but if that means being associated with the type of people many of the democrats who post on here appear to be, then no thanks, I'll call myself conservative. Actually I always vote for the candidate I agree with most, regardless of party.
Knock yourself out, there. Shows just how much respect

Just shows that majority of USA no longer truly

i didn't write that - shows what you don't know

All talk shows gripe about everybody, not just him
They griped about Bush, McCain, Palin, the other Bush, Clinton, you name it. They are fair game and you should know that. The pot shots are to get more viewers, get laughs, or just let their own feelings out.
They are not griping about O. In fact, most of the news media has put him in a pedestal since the beginning.
Another pub shows his true colors....(sm)

I agree President should not be on TV shows
I was thinking this last night...how can we have respect for the Office of the President the president is not acting like a president but rather like a movie star. It is really unbecoming.
Just shows your ignorance of the military then..
period. Just because you might not like it, does not change the fact that that's how it works. Nobody acts alone in the military. Any action must be approved by the Commander in Chief - who is the President. So, as much as it KILLS some people to give Obama any credit whatsoever, I'm afraid that is where the credit is due in this case.

They were ALL brave and they ALL acted with bravery and intelligence.
A quick look at this board shows...
me exactly where they are. 
Funny shows typically do...(sm)
get pretty decent ratings, but that's not exactly what most are looking for in the news. That's why CNN sent him to the cartoon network -- FIXED NOISE.
Post the name of the other liberal talk shows here...Thanks! sm
BGlobe thread just shows how interested U R
nm
It means that JM's voting record shows he has...sm
voted against veteran's interests the majority of the time.
I just heard on one of the morning money shows...sm
that the tax breaks that are in it for some business entites, whether they be in American Samoa, or Puerto Rico, and the ones in the U.S., even though they appear to be pork related....they will bring home "the bacon."
In other words, designed to have revenue here, home in the U.S.
That's what I know about that....
don't know other details yet.
This silly diversion only shows just how hard
Do you not care anything about death threats and assassination plans against the president-elect of your country? Does it mean anything to you at all that there is a visible, palpable cause to this effect? Would you be this dismissive were the shoe on the other foot and it was McCain we were talking about? Grow up, for God's sake. This is serious business this threat to life thing.
No danger of no shows. Media coverage alone
imagine that. W being upstaged by an elite, Islamic, racist, terrorist, socialist, commie pinko Nazi.
I guess that's kind of like news shows........sm
depends on your point of view. Personally, I think you are the one being "snarky."
Here is a site that shows the federal budget
over the past 3 years, including charts. This is by the National Debt Awareness Center. There are lots of other links on there to check out too but, again, I am short on time today.
http://www.federalbudget.com/
This is an article from U.S. News about the budget outlook:
http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/2009/02/25/hot-docs-bleak-and-uncertain-federal-budget-outlook-as-deficit-climbs.html
I saw today where they passed a budget to take us through the next couple months to the tune of $896B. Filled with pork. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to look it up tomorrow.
Looking back on the liberal conservative board shows you for what you are.
Liar.
This statement shows ignorance of basic economics
You are misinformed to such an extent that it makes you unable to recognize your own best interests. If you candidate wins, look for your profession to decline by leaps and bounds, if it survives at all.
Drives you crazy when a candidate shows conviction
a steady hand, a good head on his shoulders and the crowds respond enthusiastically, doesn't it?
Secret Service Shows Up At Texas Mom's Door...

Last week, here in America, they came for Jessica Hughes, and I will not be silent. I will not turn away, hoping, in the end, they will not come for me.
Jessica Hughes of Lufkin, Texas, former Marine, mother of three, answered her cell phone in the car, coming home from the emergency room. Her 9-year-old had suffered a mild concussion, but was OK.
The caller was a female Obama volunteer who asked if Jessica would support Obama for president.
Jessica replied, "No, I don't support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time." Then Jessica hung up.
The next day, a man and a woman in suits showed up at the door of her home, identifying themselves as members of the Secret Service.
The Secret Service agents stated that the Obama campaign had complained of a death threat. They had quoted Jessica as saying, "I will never support Obama, and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor."
Jessica's husband had heard Jessica's side of the original phone call and verified the actual quote. To which the female agent replied, "Oh? Well why would she (the Obama volunteer) make that up?"
Jessica replied that the Obama volunteer was probably unhappy about what Jessica had said about her candidate. The female agent then said "That's right, you were rude!"
The male agent then displayed a file with Jessica's full name prominently printed on it and asked her how she felt about Obama. At this point, the former Marine told the agent "in no uncertain terms" (as she later recounted) that this was America and that the last time she checked, she was allowed to think whatever she wanted without being questioned by the Secret Service. And was being "rude" a federal crime now too?
The agents then admitted they had no tape of the conversation, just the quote from the Obama campaign.
Responding to Jessica's questions, the agents would not identify themselves by name, nor reveal the name of the Obama volunteer who had made the complaint. The agents did indicate that Jessica was not in a court of law yet, and that they were trying to not embarrass her "by going to all her family and neighbors."
To these implied threats, Jessica invited the agents to speak to whomever they wanted, and stated she would happily go to court since she had done nothing wrong.
Jessica asked the agents, "Look, someone calls me unsolicited on my cell phone to ask me to support their candidate, and I can't tell them why I don't?"
The Secret Service left Jessica that day, but she could not get the "visit" out of her mind. |
