According to you. You could kill anything without it being murder. because you do not believe consiousness or life is really anything other than an artifical piece of machinary with no free choice.
CONSCIOUSNESS IS \"ARTIFICIAL?\" WHEN DID I SAY THAT? WHEN DID I SAY I DON'T CARE ABOUT IT? I AM A HUMAN, SO I AM CAPABLE OF CARING ABOUT THINGS. YOUR POINT IS VERY BIZARRE AND ILLOGICAL.

You cannot murder something that has never had the capacity for consciousness.
It is obvious to me you do not understand the nature of consiousness or what it is.
MORE VAGUENESS FROM YOU. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MY LIFE STUDYING PSYCHOLOGY AND HAVE BEEN INTO MANY CONSCIOUSNESS IMPROVEMENT PRACTICES. I AM ALSO A WRITER WHO WRITES A LOT ABOUT THE NATURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. I HAVE ALSO READ MANY BOOKS ON IT. COULD YOU POSSIBLY EXPLAIN THE ABSURD POINT YOU JUST MADE?

Is masturbation murder? Think of all of the dead sperm cells that could have been humans.[/b]
This is getting silly and has little to do with killing another human being.
Abortion is another subject different to capital punishment.
MORE VAGUENESS FROM YOU. MY POINT WAS THAT SPERM CELLS ARE POTENTIAL HUMANS, SO THE ARGUMENT THAT FETUSES ARE POTENTIAL HUMANS CARRIES VERY LITTLE WEIGHT IN THE ABORTION ARGUMENT. DID YOU REALLY NOT UNDERSTAND THE ANALOGY? IF YOU DID UNDERSTAND IT, THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY TO COUNTER IT? CAN YOU?
Is breathing murder. Think of all the oxygen you are wasting that someone else could have used.
NO, BREATHING IS NOT MURDER. THERE IS PLENTY OF OXYGEN FOR US ALL. WHAT WAS YOUR POINT HERE?
I dont want to sound cynical but it needed to be said.[/b]
