This man has had people call him a terrorist and other racist names. That didn't mean squat and I agree with it. Then he screws up almost instantly as a new president, and now this stem cell research. What a filthy low life murderer. Just because the babies are abandoned gives him no right to destroy them. They are still human aren't they? There is no jail in the world for this kind of murder. But that doesn't exactly mean that it isn't murder if you say it's in the name of science. What difference does it make what words you use, as long as they are born they are citizens and you are now murdering America's new future. Huh if we even have a future.

Yeah... I know that's not what it means, I just said I apply it to that. As can been seen here:

That isn't what Ebonics refers to. It doesn't mean "decayed" English, it means the dialect of English spoken by some African American communities, with a grammatical system that sounds wrong to us because it is an English transposition of constructions found in certain African languages.

In other words, Ebonics is just a 'legit' form of English, like Scottish English or Gullah or whatever.

Please do. Maybe if enough people say it enough times, they'll listen. Probably not, but there's a chance.

What is this? I mean, I know what it is because I can see krazykayla and lil_bball_girl using it; but what does it actually mean?

The term was originally coined, I think, to describe 'gangsta speak' (-izzle, aight!, fasho, ...) but I apply it to any form of decayed English.

Haha, someone understands my pain!

Murdering embryos is a healthy way of life and I wholeheartedly condone it. Obama has my hearty support for that endeavor, along with his willingness to give scientists a decent voice in this country.


I would have celebrated the man's being elected by eating a fetus, but I couldn't find any. I think I had gay sex instead, so next best thing, what-ho!

Isn't there kind of a hole in your argument as you've stated it here: 'as long as they are born they are citizens'. I know I'm just reiterating Wolfie's and Hoopdawg's arguments, but I wanted to demonstrate that you'd already conceded in your opening statement.

Sometimes you can't stop a child from dying, and we ca't solve everything can we. Sometimes people have to die so we can live.

This I ABSOLUTELY don't agree with. While I am not naive enough to believe that the world is full of fluffy bunnies that don't age, get sick or die, a mindset that says because we can't help the bunnies now, we should just give up trying to fix their poor little myxomatosis problems. How defeatist is this? I know that the idea of progression is frowned upon in our wonderful and engaging post-modern world, but progress in science, in curing major diseases and improving the living standards of people all over the world, is still something that we can admit. Science progresses, and I have just enough trust left in me to put it in the same human race that managed to drive smallpox to extinction to fix the next set of medical problems.

what if you have twins or triplets you gonna kill em.

Isn't there some way you could genetically interfere with them (the Pope would be angered, because you committed one of the shiny new deadly sins, but I think you might get over it) and what not to prevent this happening? I'm just saying, that would be a solution that wouldn't require exposing any unwanted babies on a mountainside somewhere.

The "I hate you now" post was directed at Wolfie. Don't assume that everyone is talking directly to you all the time, it's a bit self-centered.

krazykayla is another young girl who has a profile on this site and who also tends to write more in ebonics than english.

... no.

1) stem cells are used from already aborted babies. Otherwise, the stem cells get dumped down the drain.
2) A lot of research is heading in the direction of trying to get adult cells to revert back to stem cells. This would be a lot more practical b/c that way if someone needs an organ, then you don't need to worry about MHC haplotypes. (Or in essence graft rejection.) This research doesn't involve embryonic cells.

popular misconceptions. These are bound to happen when politics stick its dirty fingers in science.

ain't my kid till it pops out.

wow im talking like a west virginian hick. ^.^

lol. y would u kill ur kid. that to me isnt right but its ur opinion not mine. thx hoops i appreciate the fact u noticed. lol. whos krazykayla? oh and i can give u much more to hate me for but i get comfort out of debating or arguing whichever suits u, im sorta depressed lately. save the dumb comment hoops

I hate you now, just for that post. lol

lol i no wat u meen

lol, i know, maybe you're rubbing off jk

but seriously- they both type in freakin ebonics! it is so infuriating! AAARRRRGGGHH!!! I don't mind people speaking languages other than English, but a real language would be nice.

hmm, that was mean!

lol

I think from now on lil_bball_girl and krazykayla should only debate and communicate with each other. They may not have much to disagree about, but they are an obvious match in the department.
(that's me insinuating that you're both stoooopid, in case you didn't catch that) lol

uhh duh.

hey wolfie what if you have twins or triplets you gonna kill em.

what is with people and this whole "we have to procreate" thing?

seriously, no we need to exterminate. we have already over-populated Earth.

i'm going to have 1 kid or none in order to help the population go down.

did you know that if the birth rate stays at the level it is at now in 500 years we will all be standing shoulder to shoulder. lol i love stephen hawking.

err... see the point isn't that sometimes people have to die so we can live, it's that these stem cells are NEVER GOING TO BE ALIVE!

They will either be used to help save the lives of disease ridden people... OR they will get tossed into a hazardous waste dump. How will that help anybody?

Ok FYI everybody if we don't use these stem cells for this they are going to be THROWN AWAY!! I think that is worse than using them for research to help save a life. How can you want to save these cells that are going to be thrown out anyway and not the people living on this Earth where they MEAN SOMETHING to SOMEBODY. The sad truth-nobody is wanting these stem cells. However, people do want the people who could be saved by them.
