General Spoon Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 A Modest Proposal I read it once, and I found it funny. Don't look at me like that. Its called a satire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I can't believe the very first time I read that, I failed to figure out it was satire and I LOVE satire! This story proves that people need to lighten up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defeatist Elitist Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Jonathan Swift. It's pretty funny. I like him. Has nothing to do with abortion though. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Killing a born child is not classed as "abortion". There's "murder", then there's "abortion". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSu Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Not murder. We're killing them to eat them. Just like every other animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSu Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Humans killing humans is classed as murder, no matter what is done afterwards. What makes it so different from killing an animal? Why isn't that murder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 What makes it so different from killing an animal? Why isn't that murder? I never said it wasn't. It's just some things are illegal, and other things aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSu Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I never said it wasn't. It's just some things are illegal, and other things aren't. Touche. Laws, how they bind us. But then again, without them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionordeQuester Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Man slaughter implies that it was accidental. Edit: By the way, Shuuda, may I ask a question? Edited November 22, 2008 by FionordeQuester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionordeQuester Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Murder to the First Degree, Murder to the Second Degree, Murder to the Third Degree, Homicide, Justifiable Homicide, Crime of Passion, Regicide, Assasination, Victimization, and Manslaughter. Those are all the legal names at the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
