Those are merely labels we place on them and nothing more. The question is what makes us human, Volourn, not what makes a cat a cat. Is it our simple biological physical forms? I don't think so. After all there is only 1.2% genetic difference between our physicality and the physicality of a chimpanzee, yet we have the ability to forge vast nations, create great works of literature and architecture, and move beyond our own planet and into the stars. Only 1.2% genetic difference. Being human is beyond just our physicality.

So, is it our physicality than makes us human, or is it our mind and memory? I place more importance on the mind, memory, and personality than any physical form.

Yes, and most religious people think there is some invisible being out there that wants to be your friend and save you from a dark nasty place, but if you don't go along with this "friend" he pushes you in and locks you away for all of eternity. A candidate that constantly spouts about traditions, his religion (look at me, I'm so pious!), and what not is definitely not getting my vote. Traditions that are outdated have no value.

Romney's simply preaching to the base. He'll moderate his comments if nominated. Nixon's adage is GOP gospel, and it worked for GW Bush: sprint to the right to win the nomination and then run like hell back to the center. This shouldn't comfort you; god knows what Romney would do if elected. Romney's articulate and a good campaigner. His issue reversals might be a problem, and I suspect there are unexamined skeletons in his closet. Not as many as are in Obama's though. So he is the Republican equivelent to Kerry, eh? Another reason to ditch him.

I don't see how one would be against using embryoes. Its not like they are sentient and self aware human beings. They are just a mass of underdeveloped cluster of cells. Besides there is also the cloning of stem cells which would also limit the need, if not get rid of the need altogether, for the use of embryoes. A human isn't a human til they have the cognitive ability to realize that they are human, and if they lose that capability what made them human is also lost.

His views on gay and lesbian rights, abortion, medical science research, and the like. Also his views on what constitutes a "family" and his general demeanor. I don't particularly like him all that much. He assumes that all Americans "are a people who love God" and that it is the government's job to ensure that "every child deserves to have a mother and a father" when it is not the governmen's place to determine what constitutes a family or not. He wears his religion on his sleeve and makes a show of it. Religion and spirituality is a private affair between the self and the venerated. To force your religious ideals on others is not patriotic, nor is not the place of government.

Maybe the Federalists need to make a come back.

Romney would be the worse thing for this country. If you want to go back to the 19th century, vote Romney. I prefer to live in the 21st century thank you very much.

So, what is in the "notpron" folder?"

A Brit comedy... I like Brit comedies.

A lot of people I know have the same feelings about me. Weird.

Sometimes those limits need to expand, Guard Dog. I don't think the founding fathers couldn't imagine the level of technology we have today, or such a population that we do. The framework of the Constitution is sound, but it does need to compensate for modern times, especially at the pace we as a people are advancing.

I would have rather had McCain as president than Bush. Hell, I would rather have Conan O'Brian as president than Bush. Nowadays I thikn we need someone new and fresh that can lead this nation, and not yet another Republican. We need a deomcrat congress and a democrat president to repair the damage Bush has done.

The battleaxes are for keeping thier husbands in line...

Some of us have good tastes in movies and stay away from such films made by the likes of Will Farell and the newer Eddie Murphy films. Eddie Murphy hasn't made a decent comedy since Coming to America.

The Leslie Nelson of Presidential Assassins?

While I do agree somewhat that the old Jefferson line but I would slightly amend it. "The government that governs least yet fulfills the needs of its citizenry governs best."

Why make any interpretations of the movie anyway? What is wrong just watching a good action flick then forgetting about it?

We can eliminate debt pretty quickly. We just need to focus on American needs internally over the needs of other countries. Remove all foreign aid to other countries and use that money and resources here at home, as it should be. The US Government should put the US Citizen and its own affiars first.

Okay then... I'm glad we agree.

Its just a movie.

Taks, is right. overall the economy is doing pretty well. Gas prices could be lower but it could be a whole lot worse than it is. Economically I have no problems with Bush. Its almost everything else.

Hey, its better than his first movie... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065832/

Oh wow yeah! The "Catwoman" of medieval fantasy! Arnies best work. R00fles! I thought that was... Jingle all the Way!

I think you guys are reading too much into it. Its an fictional action movie based on a comic boo... um, graphic novel, which was very loosely on a historical event. Don't be making mountains out of mole hills as the saying goes.
