The day you get on Ryan's level, the day you achieve something as impossible as he has, you can say something. Until then, you can show some god damned respect and keep your opinions to yourself. I can't say HULKAMANIA and I are best friends (in fact, every post of his has unnecessarily bashed me), and I like Reese's approach for girls, but seriously. It's not your fucking role to decide who lives and who doesn't. Some people are born unlucky - this is even more reason to get off one's fat ass and actually make a contribution or make something of himself. The whole "with power comes great responsibility" - if you care so fucking much about killing harlequin babies or handicaps, figure out cures for the disease if they bother you so much. The whole attitude of being condescending towards people who have no choice in what they are born as is disgusting. | ||

I feel like commenting on this subject for abit, even it will cost me my glorious corsair icon upon 1000th post when I return(which is very trivial so it does not matter anyways) Think back in time, think of the dark ages and the past where everyone dies young. Small pox, Black death, and even a flu may be lethal. Now as our medical technologies advance, we no longer die due to Small pox, Black death, and flus do we not? Now say there is a kid that has flu, can we say O dear nature wants him dead because by logic flu is natually a lethal decease! Of course we cannot, if we do, most people on this forum would be dead long before reaching the age of 5. Our technology makes it possible to preserve the physically crippled humans and these humans are saved from death as our technology advances. And look what these cripples can do: Stephen Hawking, Helen Keller, and many other physically maimed people have done extraordinary things that inspred many others to a more positive attitude toward life. Now this poor kid. He is merely one of the more extreme case of physical illness. However, it is with in our technology to preserve his life, and therefore we will do so. It is a human nature to help his/her fellow human beings to save other's life, why? I do not know, it just is our nature to save other humans, a trait programed into our brain by our DNAs perhapes, so we do not kill each other off and extinct. Now then, about Ryan. I would guess that anyone of us would not be so stupidly walk up to the trithalon participant and says, "Hello Ryan, I think your mother should've let you die when you are a kid, would'nt you? I mean c'mon, You know you don't want to live, you know your life sucks with all the strange looks you got from strangers. C'mon bro, I'll kill you to end your misery." Even the tought of it is rediculous. One wants to live on no matter what, for that is another code our DNA coded our brain with, is to live on no matter what in order to pass the DNA onward, to ensure the DNA's survival. Therefore by logic deduction, if one is born with some physical deformation, is he not a human still? Does his DNA not tell him to survive for all cost? Do we all want to save him from death out of human nature? And can't our technology achieve this practice? He is, his DNA does, we do, and our technology can. So the kid lives righteously and no question asked. The only one who does not deserve to live is the one with a brain that rebels against survival. Suicide for instance, drug abuse, heavy alchololism are all good examples on how would a brain directs a human into destruction where his DNA really want his brain to command his body so he can live. In a way, his brain chose to destroy his body in this situation, not always, of course, nothing is always true. One may also be so kindly to point out that the maimed have to go through so much in their life, that their spirit is the healthiest of the lot, for they can feel gratitude more than all others because they do not have what we taken for granted. And in general, most maimed people have fervent desire to live on just like the rest of us. Lastly, a quote: Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose - Helen Keller edit: holy crap corsair icon looks so ass kicking! | ||

Would you feel responsible for your emotional trauma causing you not to give a fuck about life or anything in the world? I know holding up a job is not that special, but everyone needs motivation, and whether you realise it or not, you have had plenty of motivation and subtle cheer in your lifetime which keeps you in good spirits so as not to give heroine a try. We are all a product of circumstance, i realise you may have disconnected yourself from humanity and dont give a fuck about some old man you see laying in a gutter, in fact youre probably glad for him, he deserves it for being so stupid and lazy. But we are all the same at birth, so obviously theres some alterior influence on our lives which leads us down one path from another. [So what if they don't get cheered on?

Of course saying we are all products of our circumstances is an exaggeration, but what is the alternative for our poor law? Individuals rarely exhibit the generosity today to feed the poor these days. Without some kind of welfare system we may face starvation on our streets or open criminality. I am certain no taxpayer would think doling out a few dollars a month a worse alternative. | ||
