I apologize for the vagueness of my post. When I referred to different attacks to the same finishing technique the purpose as I see it right now is that regardless of the attack, say for example wrist grabs, there are several paths to the same end, say, arm bar on the ground face down. Now for a ...

hoshin thanks for the input. Sal and I , sorry my name is Scott Rosencrants (Shodan), are trying to keep it simple and yet very effective. All input is welcome, especially for me as I attempt to create a written record/description of each technique that is neither too verbose nor too limited in its ...

Mark- I appreciate your point of view, but I am confused by your argument. You protest the absoluteness of her vegetative state and yet you also say that she is completely aware of, cognitive, of all the changes/horrors/pain/suffering she is going through without ability to decide or communicate ...

IJ - I greatly respect your talents and efforts as a healer and your concern for your patients, even across this electronic medium, rings true. But I disagree with your comments on moral philosphy being outdated by scientific advances. I have seen first hand what starving/dehydrating to death looks ...

So the doctors say no brain function that they can tell ... Medicine is still a practice, right?

Everyone is talking about "the right to die" and yet shouldn't the issue be more about the sanctity of life? Yet depending on which polls you want to listen ~60% of the country thinks we should starve ...

just a question for the scientific types out there, what factor or affect does the rapidly increasing population have on these changes in temprature and 'greenhouse gasses', especially CO2(exhalation?) ?

How much energy(thermal watts) does the human body produce? and how much does it need to ...

the experiment's been done elsewhere without reported problems

Reports from the Netherlands have a different angle.

There is indeed evil in the world. People who are evil, or are perceived to be evil, have chosen to do evil.

For evil to be judged to be such there must be a standard called good. This is at the heart of morality and is more than knowledge of good and evil, but something that we all are born with ...

Interesting observation Bill... I for one believe and try to live by "love the sinner, hate the sin" and the depth of my belief follows what I believe to be the truth from scripture.

Here is a little something I found ...

Just a little something from the other side of the fence ... so to speak. Take special note of the last paragraph. Doesn't say much about the respect of free speech.

Aren't some of the polls biased, as in registered voters vs. those likely to vote?

Thanks for your informed and intelligent viewpoint. The ideas and references I raise are there just for the discussion. I hope that you do not feel as if the references I post are an attack on you personally, even though I realize they are personal issues. Just creating a polarizing discussion ...

I don't subscribe to method/ideology of Repent America. I think they have action of repentance out of order.First comes fellowship just as Christ did, then repentance, then comes righteousness.

Aside from that, "Do you think that LGB's would really protest chuches?" I suppose it would be ...

Well said Bill.

Today the Lambeth Commission condemned the liberal proponents of the U. S. Anglican Church for voting in an openly gay bishop and urged more conservative control.

For most people (IMO) perception is reality and they fail, through laziness or ignorance, to look deeper than the ...

Ben,

I don't understnad your reply ... they sound contradictory to me. You accuse the christians of harassment and then uphold their right to protest and present another side of the issue? What do you really mean?
