I was at first going to pull you up on the word "completer".
But as ever I looked it up and was amused to find that "completer" was a proper word.
I would have said, more complete.
But then again, it begs the question.
How can something be more complete than complete?
Isn't something either complete or incomplete?

Poverty is.
Poverty is an intrinsic part of human social structure.
War on poverty is just a worthless soundbite.

Yep for sure.
Some "modern art" is definitely the untalented, taking the piss out of the gullible.
But isn't taking the piss out of the gullible for profit, just a fact of life.
Take religion for example.

Yep.
Well, they like to thing that they're prophets.
Prophets of false hope, perhaps.
Keep up the good work.

As stated.
I was referring to the life and not the mass.
The obvious structural differences between a person and a blade of grass do not need pointing out.
But how do you distinguish between the spark of life that exists within both?

Are you saying that the U.S. has a policy to warm the environment?
If it gets a bit cold up North at times, perhaps it would be a good idea to relocate to Mexico.

You probably worry far too much about what other people think.

Did you say that cross contamination violates the cock?
True, but seemingly unavoidable given the necessity of the situation.
My advice to you would be, if you're not interested in prostitution then simply ignore it.
Leave the prostitution thing to the operatives (gender unspecific) and their clients to worry about.
Though some might say that, you do seem to have an unhealthy fascination in the seamier sides of other peoples lives.
Some purists might argue that tying tubes is akin to abortion.
All those eggs and sperm with nowhere to go.

Do you think that they really give a toss if the congregation is full of nutters?
Though some cynics might argue that Churches are already full of nutters.

Blade of grass, baby.
One finds that people tend to use the term "baby" as it is somewhat more emotive.
Nonetheless, blade of grass and baby are both inert masses unless they possess life.
What is your distinction between the spark of life in a baby and that in a blade of grass?
Your higher regard for the baby is an obvious natural bias.
And my regard for equality is simply directed towards life, rather than the associated mass.

Dementia is a form of natural physiological decline, that is specific to the brain.
A disease if you like, that has the effect of diminishing memory.
No memory, no fear.
Coping strategy.
Ooops, click, death, gone.

Given that the Biblical tales are at best a mythology.
Might suggest that someone was perhaps rightly or wrongly, nailed up by the Romans.
Though the truth of events has long since been both fancified and lost in translation.
And what happened to Old Joe?
He doesn't get much of a mention, considering all that he supposedly had to put up with.
Typical.

Christianity is a myth based hypothesis.
And Death is the off switch.
And Death is the easy bit.
It's all our stored data that is the glitch and in the end Christianity won't really help with our acquired fear of non-existence.
Dementia is a good natural coping strategy.

At one time it was impossible to edit a post to a debate, without losing everything.
Maybe that's sorted out now.

My ideology is.
All life is equal but shit happens.
Though shit is only shit if one decides that it is shit and at that point shit becomes an internal concept with no real necessity for any external validity.
That is to say, there is no real authority to judge human thought. That's one for our own consciences.
And you are no doubt selectively moral.
As are we all.

@Dr.Franklin
Yep exactly.Conservative culture supports trad views.
Penis's and Vagina's should be kept covered up at all times and not be discussed in public.
And procreation is the awful thing that married adults have to do from time to time, definitely with the lights off.
Trouble is, you cannot supress instinctive behaviour.
Hence the counterculture.
Porn is a product of human stupidity.

I'm in the U.K.
Thought perhaps it was a U.K. thing.
This problem started a few months back after some modification work was carried out.
Also I don't bother with debates now, because of an even more annoying glitch in the editing process.

Haven't worked out if there is a sequence that leads to failure.

The Burden is on me to prove what?
I simply question your morality.
Is your morality selective?
Do you regard all life with equal measure?
Does the life of an Afghan child blown apart by U.S. ordnance, have the same value as a U.S. foetus?
Does the life of an I.S. fighter, have the same value as a U.S. foetus?
How far does your regard for life stretch?

@Dr.Franklin
People do different things.
No ones choice is actually right and no ones choice is actually wrong.
Just down to Earth alternative realities.
Which is all just basic ideology.
If you think about it logically.
The need for porn probably stems from an ultra-conservative attitude towards the act of procreation and it's associated body parts,
Which, if you continue to think logically, is rather ridiculous.

Porn is no different to mobile devices, is no different to fast food, is no different to prescription drug dependency, is no different to excessive exercise regimes, is no different to easy plastic products. etc.etc.
Create it, market it and sell it and people will buy it.
It's just an alternative reality.
As is being ultra-conservative.

Humans are pre-programmed for sex.
Sex isn't something that you can easily decide not to bother with.
Just look at the problems Roman Catholic Priests have
And what is the alternative species?
Sheep perhaps!

You missed the point.
Nonetheless.
No grey areas.
Except probably when the life in question doesn't fall within your conditioned moral remit.
Selective morality, double standards.
Though perhaps you are different.

It's all conceptual.
Yet it's all real enough in it's own context.
It's a curious thing this life business.
And how seriously or not we take it mostly depends upon our parents generation and of course, where we were born.
So in our own contexts our opinions on abortion may vary somewhat.
But although different, both our opinions are still nonetheless rational.

25 and still a teenager.
When you get to my age you'll look back and laugh and be somewhat embarrassed at the way you sometimes behaved when you were a teenager.

Realistically for most people the current maximum lifespan is probably somewhere between 80 and 100 years.
And "interventions" may have improved but have nonetheless changed very little.
As I have continually stated "interventions" only prolong the latter stages of existence, rather than halt the ageing process at a point where the body is physically and mentally in it's prime. Probably somewhere around 30 years of age.

Most similar mythologies or fantasy tales have the little hero slaying the big bad ogre.
