Would depend on your motives. If you did it out of fear, or for safety reasons then no. If you did it for fun then yes.

Pretty much this. Though the TC's age when he supposedly did this is also relevant (he mentions being "young" but not how young he was).

[QUOTE="thegerg"]We don't know enough about you to determine if you're a bad person or not.nekrothing

After I killed the snake, I looked around to see if there were more. I saw some slightly smaller ones around the same area, might have been the snake's family. I killed them too. I had my dog eat the snake remains because I couldn't be bothered to get a trash bag, pick them up, and put them in it.

I take it this is a joke thread?

95% of humans have a natural immunity to leprosy. In relation to the threat is poises to the human population I'd say it gets as much attention as it warrants, maybe even a little more.

Really, I never knew that. Though it still shouldn't be ignored as it causes a misery for quite a decent number of people. Proper hygienic practices can reduce the spread of leprosy though, right?

January 27th was the World Day of Leprosy. In 2011 220,000 people - "men, women and children" had contracted leprosy, a severe disease, though one that is no longer fatal if treated properly. Is Leprosy given the attention it deserves from medical professionals and the general public? It seems like there are less high-profile groups dealing with leprosy than there are with things like AIDS or various cancers. I think leprosy is mostly a third-world disease, very rarely does it occur in America or Europe.

Zygmunt Zimowski, President of the Pontifical Council for Health Care Workers, has pointed out that leprosy and other "neglected diseases"  cause " hundreds of thousands of victims through deaths, grave forms of disability, or anyway the permanent compromised state of health of adults, adolescents and children, in disadvantaged countries", specifically mentioning the following diseases: dengue fever, sleeping sickness, bilharziosis, onchocerciasis, leishmaniasis and trachoma.

Honestly, I'm getting sick of these protests. They do them so frequently that they're becoming meaningless, and it's always the same people doing them, yet claim success when the same number of people show up each and every time.

It's an annual thing, and there are new people. In recent years there have been a lot more young people (teens, tweens and thirties) showing up.

I seriously think we'll look back on abortion being used as retroactive birth control and be appalled that we ever let it happen.

jim_shorts

To a certain extent we already do look back on partial-birth abortion and on the days before we had the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act that President Bush signed into law in 2002 after it was passed through the House and Senate (sponsored by Rep. Chabot in the House and Sen. Santorum in the Senate) with the sentiments you describe.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"]Keep those abortions comin'DroidPhysX

My guess is that March has probably closed down some streets and maybe congested others, so it might be hard for people to get to the abortion facilities today.

Blessed. An 8 week old fetus gets to survive another day before getting the ax.

Who knows maybe it's a late term fetus and birth will occur before tomorrow. Or maybe after todays delay someone will change their mind and decide against abortion.

Today is the National March for Life in Washington D.C. Many people, some of whom participated in last night's Prayer Vigil for Life, will be marching in the streets of Washington D.C. to bear witness to the sacredness and dignity of all human life.

For anyone interested in watching the March, EWTN is providing live coverage. You can watch EWTN on your television through your cable or satellite provider, or, if you want you can watch it over the internet via this link. (or go to EWTN's mainsite, hover the mouse over the "Television" tab, select "Live TV - English" and then "United States English"
