Billionaire

Do you need to be a psychopath to become a billionaire? Nearly every one of them did some fucked up thing to get rich, whethwr it was fucking over a friend or business partner or stealing documents from the boss to open their own business with the information, or by lying through their teeth and putting on a fake persona of caring about the client when they don't actually give a fuck.

Bill Gates send vaccines loaded with poison to Africa. Warren Buffet pushes inheritance taxes so insolvent families are forced to sell their lived one's businesses to him. Elon Musk is deluding people and Larry Ellison hates is mom for dying on him. Steve Jobs treated his employees like pure garbage. George Soros destabilizes entire nations for fun.

I can't think of anything Richard Branson did beyond tax evasion, but I'm sure he did something unethical too. Is becoming a psychopath the only way to become a billionaire? Is the willingness to become a psychopath the same as being a psychopath? Did Richard Branson do some evil shit? Is becoming a psychopath the only way to massive wealth?

Like say a bald eagle?

I mean, it isn't a bald eagle yet, just an embryo right, so it should be completely fine to smash the egg or use it for experiments.

It's wrong and it has nothing to do with it being an embryo. Wine bottles in a store are neither embryos nor fully grown sentient beings yet we don't allow smashing them in stores without consequences unless you paid for them and even then you can get in trouble.

you used the argument that what an embryo becomes is what is important to understand the badness of destroying it

an embryo that will turn into a bald eagle is wrong to destroy because? because it is wrong to destroy a bald eagle from it being endangered

apply that to an embryo that will become a human

explain to me the wrongness of destroying a human, what is the term for that?

Yes.
Unless the egg happens to inhabit the body of a human being, prohibiting their actions and risking their life.

For example, the egg of an endangered parasite festering in someone's boil? Destroy it.

Nah it's wrong to destroy a bald eagles egg because it's our national bird

A term for wrongly destroying a human could also be called an accident tbh, among other things, only one of which are murder.

And you're argument is still invalid even given that tiny little last tid bit, because abortion is neither legally nor technically murder. It's literally what it's name implies. It's aborting.

Yep, because humans aren't endangered tbh

That's pretty much why. If humans were on the brink of becoming extinct, you could bet that whatever ruling government would put in place some sort of incentives to have people birth children, and probably some sort of punishment for aborting them (unless necessary)

But that's not currently what's happening.

Which is why your argument immediately falls apart

Since when is total agreement the metric for anything?

Those people were wrong, emotion, stupid, and naive. And the zoo, law, parents, govt. etc agreed with the decision to shoot because a human life takes precedent. Much like how the mother's autonomy takes precedent over the fetus.
f***ing derp.

And I doubt anyone at all would have a problem with wiping out a parasite off an actual human. So bringing up Harambe is a faulty analogy anyways.

go full logic


on one hand, you have an embryo
you determine this embryo is just cells, it is in no way equated with the life it WILL become

on the other hand, you have an embryo
you determine it should be equated with what it will turn into and make laws regarding that


so why the disconnect?

This analogy is flawed. With abortion, it's the decision of the mother.

In your scenario, an outside force is acting maliciously to destroy an egg the mother intended to incubate.

Hence the term "pro-choice". By destroying the egg, you stripped the choice from the Eagle. That would be wrong. Now if the bird had decided to drop the egg out of its nest, destroying it? Nothing wrong with that.

    read the PETA article, maybe they have a point

    they claim cows are very intelligent and have lots of feelings


    so if you don't believe in a soul, why you eat meat and how can you do that to a fellow animal that is just as smart and conscious as you are?

    Abortion is murder. Don't care what the law says. You are terminating life and that life is and will always be human.

    Again, you're wrong. 

    Murder is a legal definition. You can say it's wrong and you don't like it. But that doesn't mean it's murder. That's a lazy way to argue and it's bad rhetoric.

    Murder is defined as a premeditated killing of another human being. Whether you like it or not, a fetus is a human being. Humanity has gotten away with defining it as something else so they can legally kill it. 

    But the law says so so it's cool. Right

    Would you call death sentencing murder?

    What about euthanization?

    Or pulling the plug in a hospital?

    "This is the legal definition that I'm following, and I don't care that abortion isn't legally defined like this because I'm mad" is a really funny argument.

    But not if it sucks.
    Sure it's murder. What did a fetus do to deserve a death sentence?

    What did an old person who can't make a decision do to deserve that someone end their life?

    Why do we get to decide to pull the plug on someone because we decide that their life is no longer valuable?
    You're damn right I'm mad. 50+ million abortions...all justified

    Bald eagles aren't endangered, and that's not what I'm arguing at all

    That's what the laws states. Like, I specifically said that in the post


    would you say the law in inconsistent on how it views embryos?

    why or why not?

    Do you want bald eagle mothers arrested if they drop their eggs?

    Nope, because why would I?

    Just because the law views something a different way than I do doesn't mean I should just ignore it and pretend it's wrong

    Otherwise I'd be jaywalking all day

    that is not what I am saying

    it is because the law views embryo in two different ways

    perhaps the treating the embyro of bald eagle as bald eagle is outdated and it should not be equated as the bird

    but if it were simply outdated then this thread would never got any replies :P

    consistency is important

    Here, how about this? It's bad because the embryo itself is rare. It's not the same as the bald eagle but due to the bald eagle/whatever endangered species being rare, the embryo is also rare, which is why it's bad to destroy it... just like how destroying wine bottles is bad like someone mentioned earlier. 
    Also why destroying a lab's container of semen in sperm banks is bad even though you destroy semen every time you jack off.

    If someone is coming at me with a knife or a gun, I should be able to fight back. Are you saying that the 50+ million abortions performed in the US alone were fetus' trying to kill its host?

    One could argue where a pregnancy and birth that leads to a mother dying is in fact the baby killing its mother. Better lock that baby up for MURDER!!!!!!!

    lol

    Also what's your opinions on abortions in the times where the birth would kill the mother? What about abortions in times of rape? And if you say adoptions services, you better be willing to fork over your taxes for it.

    so if the child grows up, do we throw him in jail for murdering his mother?

    The answer is yes. Killing an egg of an endangerous species is illegal and bad. It should be against the Le. Abortion is nothing like killing an egg and should not be illegal. 

    Scenarios involving an animal (and an endangered animal at that) being compared to a literal human are stupid and low bait trolling attempts. 

    Abortion is not murder. 

    There I answered the question.

    Your side is the one that brought up that birth isn't a baby killing at mom.
