wow skeptic, you sure got worked up over that one. No one said I believe that stuff, and If you want a debate about my abortion views we can do that, but posting ridiculous things is so much more fun. And because you believe something doesnt make it less controversial. Abortion is controversial, whether it is based on fact or ideology doesnt matter. You just like to think you have the only valid opinion

and if you killed my finger I would be pretty pissed. It has a right to life too!

Well, Skeptic has a point with ""A life is a life, no one should have the choice of taking it away". People always ask how you can be against abortion and for capital punishment. You MAY have a valid reason why you take those two positions, but 'a life is a life' cannot be your reason to be pro-life. You can have other valid reasons, but not the 'life is sacred' if you believe in capital punishment.

Likewise the argument for/against gay marriage. While there are plenty of reason to be for or against it, it seems to me it is hypocritical to be against it 'sanctity of marriage' reasons. If we were to outlaw gay marriage to protect the 'sanctity of marriage', don't we also have to outlaw divorce for the same reason? I crack up when someone mentions the sanctity of marriage when more then 1/2 of marriages in the US end in divorce.

How did we get on these heavy topics? Can we go back to the best way to prepare a fetus dinner for two?

I dont support Capital Punishment, fyi. And I could choose any reason to support anything.

Like steak sauce goes great on baby whales

i would say lightly panfried with garlic

sry valoishapsburg, I did kind of use a sledgehammer there and I agree abortion can be controversial, what I was trying to point out though (before I got detracted) was that statements that are false/true aren't controversial.
One quick look at the definition of murder and you'll see that "Abortion is murder" is false.

Controversies occur when the facts aren't completely in yet.
e.g: 1st Person shooters make kids more violent.

or when people have different values:
e.g. (safety vs privacy): Everyones DNA should be in a database so that criminals could be identified easier.

And as I said before, religious stuff like "Jesus was a Heroin addict" are only controversial within the particular theology, for the rest of us its mostly nonsense.

Would the statement "There's a ghost in my room" be controversial? (I got no evidence to back it up, but you've got none to disprove it)
If not, then what if 50% of the population in say new Zealand (half way around the world from my room) believed it were true.

btw, fetus' taste better with a side dish of (fried) human fingers.

no that would never work thats like having a pork steak with a side of bacon i recon fetus would go best in pasta

skeptic...I'm being serious in the slightest.

and I like baked human fingers much more

*not being serious

Due to the consistency, I'm wondering if it might be better in a soup... I can't imagine there's much meat.

All people who reply to this kind of thread are (insert expletive here).

Forgot to address part two of the question doh . It's controversial because not everyone would agree with it.

multi-accounting is good because it pisses people off.

I started this thread because I heard a stand up comedian say

"Mother Theresa was a money grabbing whore, hungry for black cock"

And I thought to myself that it was possibly the wrongest thing I had ever heard... Any thoughts?

I would say it is offensive but not controversial. Obviously, there is no evidence of that statement and would be difficult to argue.

Diplomacy is a game of pure luck, skill has no effect

regarding Mother Theresa: "...MT was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God..."
from Slate: http://www.slate.com/id/2090083/
I would give you "money grabbing" but I doubt anyone will find any evidence that she ever was whore or hungry for black cock. Again I don't see anything controversial here, just false. And as Sean said is was meant to offend but if that offends you then you probably shouldn't be listening to stand up comedy. :-)

sry I meant Spell of Wheels not sean

Christopher Hitchen's wrote a book "The Missionary Position" that was extremely critical about Mother Teresa.

Very controversial, but interesting.

'Risk requires much more skill than Diplomacy.'

I actually sort of agree wity you, dingle.

thucydides wins ^^

bump

Sicarius was right all along.

Livers are tastier than fingers.

After Jerkface's post I think this contest is over.

Is Mr. Brady going to have to choke a bitch?

Agreed. Jerkface wins. Please lock this thread.
