Illini win it all...I hope.

It's sad, yes, but I still say I hope my family would have the decency to just let me die.

1.  long painful death
2.  chance to come out

I doubt she'd be in much pain (if any). She's in a coma, as it were; she can't react to anything and I'm not sure she would even feel it.

As for her chance to come out, she's been in this state for fifteen years. There still is a chance, of course, but I think the husband has just about given up. Put yourself in his position; the woman he's married to doesn't even know he's there, and hasn't for fifteen years. Would you want to see her there without any conception of the world around her? What is she living for anymore?

but would they have a soul since they are man made

Of course. You were man-made as well, weren't you? The clones would still have to be born.

I don't know if you completely understand the science behind cloning. It's not like they'd have no free will. They'd still be human, so they'd still have to answer to God when they die. The only difference is that they'd have the same genetic makeup of the person they were cloned from. They wouldn't be the same person; they wouldn't have the same soul.

I don't agree with cloning at all, but as far as I understand it, that's what it's all about.

This may overlap's BEP's "Phobia" topic, but do any of you have certain tendencies of paranoia? For example, I have this thing where I have to check the shower every time I go to the bathroom. I think it's because I hid in the shower once when I was young (probably seven or eight) and scared my mom when she came in. Then, I thought that people might start doing it to me, so I've been checking the shower ever since. Even if the house is empty, and I know it is, I check. It's kind of weird.

Ever since I heard this story I've been on the husband's side, not only legally but morally. I think she should die. She's been in a "vegitated" state for more than fifteen years...I know that if I were in her situation, I'd much rather have peace than fifteen years of total unconciousness. It's much the same situation as mercy killing someone who's going to die no matter what from a bullet wound and is in unbearable pain. Would it really make you a murderer?

Advertising, because it can be so manipulative, and the people who are dumb enough to believe it (especially when it's so obviously untrue or warped).

 

Spiders. Ugh. I hate spiders.

It's stupid and fixed.

No, don't worry, I was just goofing around Sapphire!

Please, please, please tell me that's sarcasm, Silver.

The difference from Rap and Gospel rap is that one talks about the world and the other( Gospel Rap) talks and teaches about the GOSPEL.

And I quote: "And for the record I hate all rap, but I love Gospel Rap."

In this case, I took the word "all" to mean every type of rap. Gospel rap, as far as I am concerned, is still "rap," especially because "rap" is in the genre name. Therefore, if you say you hate all rap, that means you would also hate "gospel rap."

Now if you don't like the teachings of the Gospel then thats between you and GOD.

Please, I urge you, go back to all my posts on this thread (heck, for all I care, you could root through every post I've ever made on this entire site) and show me where I ever said I didn't like the teachings of God. But, on this note, I would like to ask you to stop saying that "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT [gospel rap] THEN YOU ARE SAYING YOU DON'T LIKE THE WORD OF GOD." I like Ford motor company, but I don't like minivans. I love school but I hated my music keyboarding class. I like iPods but I hate Apple. I like the Chicago Blackhawks but I think their owner's a complete moron.

Liking gospel rap and liking the Word of God are in no way complimentary to each other.

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to the Christians that are teachable and that are intrested in seeing how GOD is doing new things to save the people he loves.

You didn't address your post that way, so how was I to assume I wasn't supposed to answer?

And for the record I hate all rap, but I love Gopel Rap.

Does anyone else find this confusing?

Alot of Christians are walking around with their eyes shut and not witnessing to the people GOD put in their paths to witness to.

And Christian rap is supposed to be the only way to do that?

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN YOU ARE SAYING YOU DON'T LIKE THE WORD OF GOD

Turn off the Caps Lock, please.

And saying what you said is like stating that if you don't like the taste of raw eggs, than you don't like cake.

I hate almost all rap. So no, I probably wouldn't like what you posted.
