I don't believe in a generally open franchise. I believe the electorate should be small and qualified in some manner, I'm essentially anti-democratic.
How would you restrict it?

Where to start.   :hmm:

What's with this recent confessional bent Languish is now taking, first opinions on onions, 'whats on you mind' and now this!

It's a worrying trend; not sure I'm too keen on getting views of the inner workings of other languishites.   :(

Maybe we could just stick to arguing to toss about bits of military kit and bashing each other over the head with raspberry flavoured strawmen?

Quote from: Neil on March 28, 2014, 01:58:16 PMIt can be unethical to apply for a patent, like if you're patenting a living thing.  Ethics and the law are two different things.  There are all sorts of things that a government can allow people to do that aren't ethical.

Yes, anyone who patents an organism is, by definition, unethical.  Doesn't matter if it's a scientist, a big company or a guy in his garage.

how is it unethical? if patents weren't allowed for seeds/plants, then there would be little incentive to invest large sums of money into modifying plants

and ethics and law are both shaped by the morals of society

If it helps, I didn't actually care. :hug:

I believe there should be some sort of exam and certificate in parenting for anyone planning to breed.

I love you so much.


I really have no true anti-PC beliefs, all my beliefs are tremendously PC. 

Other than there's no such thing as bisexuality.  You can't stand on both sides of the plate when you're up at bat, dammit.  Either you dig the cock, or you dig the pooty.  "Lulz Imma bisexual" is a fucking cop-out for fags who don't want to admit to themselves that they're honest and truly cocknibblers.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It is unethical because it is distasteful and sets a dangerous precedent.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Oh, and fuck it;  I'm a cultural relativist.  My side of the planet:  good and civilized.  Your side of the planet:  fucked up third world voodoo bullshit. 

Brown and yellow people don't get a pass for their bullshit because they're "unique" or how their "culture" is "special". 

God Bless America, the Reformation, the Renaissance, and the Age of Reason.  The other side of the planet can go fuck itself.

While it is often used as a cop out, I don't see why there couldn't be people with attraction to both sexes.

You'd think there are plenty enough historical (ancient Greek, Arab, Japanese sexual practices) and personal (Cary Grant, Brando, Marlene Dietrich) examples of it that no one would dismiss it out of hand. 

Also; prison.

There are people with an attraction to reaching orgasm, regardless of the context.

I rest my case.
