The phrase "political correctness" is a phrase used by some conservatives to ignore the arguments presented by blindly dismissing them as "political correct", and assuming that "political correct" is bad.

We aren't lost.
You're just not capable of showing where we are wrong.

I agree with your statement: "Save the innocent and punish the guilty"

The problem is that conservatives start seeing stem cells as "innocent", and presuming the guilt without proof of those accused of guilt.

Because of that, he can't see the irony in taking the previous stupid statement and mocking it with another stupid statement.

I'm confused. Why is stem cell research being discussed in the Abortion section? There is no implantation, so there is no abortion. These are frozen blastocytes we're talking about, right?

Seems to me there should be a Science and Health section....

The problem most conservative have with Stem Cell research is they seem to think we are all going to run out and have abortions just to harvest stem cells so we can grow extra arms, and make ourselves super strong. They watch far too much Fox news, and read too many comic books. And they are terrified of learning anything that is not written in the bible.

We are trying to save them...
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

No, they think using blastocysts and having an abortion are one of the same. To them a microscopic blob has the same cognition and conscience abilities of a new born baby. But I guess the mother who's life depends on getting an abortion isn't as important. And I guess the lives of countless full grown children or adults that have the diseases that we could prevent via stem cells aren't as important as microscopic goo.

Yes, politically correct is a bad word. That's why you all get confused without realizing it. That is why you have a hard time answering a direct question based upon reality instead of your agenda. We see it every day and you can't because you can't think outside of your box.

Sometimes I have a hard time answering a direct question because either I don't hear it correctly or because I don't interpret it correctly, like this morning when I was asked, "How are you doing?", which I thought I heard as, "What are you doing?".

Reminded me of the Zen master who raised a walking stick in the air and asked his students, "Do you see this?".. then he whacked it on the desk in front of him and asked, "Do you hear this?". The lesson was not just about perception.

There you go again.
It is your OPINION that "politically correct is a bad word".
And because I don't agree with your OPINION, you declare me as "confused".
You really have a limited bag of tricks, and none of them are that good.

What a load of crap.
I have repeatedly answered your questions.
YOU have repeatedly avoided my questions.

And another of your boring tricks. Talking about YOUR opinion, and blindly claiming "we".

A MAJORITY of Americans disagree with Bush on stem cells.
What "we" are you talking about?

Exactly... The Bible does not tell them the difference so they get scared and want to burn the evil science witches.
