Speaking of which, did you ever do the thing I asked you to do, since YOU ONLY talk sometimes?

*cough* Umm, not yet...

Well will you hurry up? *stamps foot impatiently* I want to get this over with. =P I want to be friends with her too.

[Helios]

Why do you have relationship problems with Mandy? She's quite nice, and all you two seem to do is bicker. Then again...you're kinda that way with everyone.

Fun fact: the three sisters is also a name for three vegetables commonly grown together by the Indigenous people.

I second this.

Not everyone. He is always nice to Paula. Paulox.

[Blitz]

I don't think so...

[aragtaghooligan]

He is nice to me but that's because I am old so he respects me and because I'm more sensitive/ fragile/ breakable.

[Miss Friendship]

Ahem! *pushes her way into the group* If anyone has suffered on account of Ox, its me. *erects a monument in honor of herself*

First song you learned on the piano?

How do you like living in the same state as SW?

[Mandy]

I love friends who stand up for me. *hugs Helios and Blitz*

[Blitz]

*Hugs her back*

Were you asked who would you marry on here?

[aragtaghooligan]

Can you explain your set?

I didn't know there really was a problem... 0_o I just thought she didn't like me...

Fun fact: the three sisters is also a name for three vegetables commonly grown together by the Indigenous people.

I knew that.

Not everyone. He is always nice to Paula. Paulox.

I thought you shipped her with someone else. 0_o

I'm nice to you because I like you.

*hides*

Ahem! *pushes her way into the group* If anyone has suffered on account of Ox, its me. *erects a monument in honor of herself*

*knew she always wanted the most attention*

First song you learned on the piano?

I don't really know...but I think it was a song in my lesson book, where you only play on the black keys...and you just play three black keys up, and three black keys down. That's it.

How do you like living in the same state as SW?

Don't really care either way.

*Were you asked who would you marry on here?

I was.

Can you explain your set?

Sure! I asked Rosy to make a Star Wars: Clone Wars set for me. Clone Wars is a Star Wars TV show, that has 4 seasons of Star Wars cannon episodes. The TV show takes place between episodes II and III of Star Wars. Anyway, there is one story arc that revolves around this Duchess of a planet. She and Obi-Wan Kenobi (a main character of Clone Wars) really hit it off, and is one of my favorite ships in Clone Wars. ^_^ Anyway, the man on the right is Obi-Wan (and is also the person in my avatar), and the lady on the left is Duchess Satine, the lady that I ship Obi-Wan with. Together, there shipper name is Obitine, so that's what the #Obitine is for. I hope that helps.

[Mandy]

I never knew there was a problem either. I just thought HE didn't like me.

[Helios]

Well, guess we answered the Mandy-Ox conundrum. But Oxy, how could you POSSIBLY believe Mandy disliked you?

[Mandy]

*strangles Helios*

[Blitz]

*Rolls his eyes* A lot of people want to kill Helios.

Have you ever wanted to strangle Helios?

What would you do if you were dating twins and accidentally picked up the wrong twin?

[Paula]

That's a random question right there...

SO! Do you think you'll start using some other smileys found on the web a little more?

[Mandy]

Are you going to come up with a mean name to call me since I like to call you OxBrain?

Are you more popular on the SS/ToO or IRL?

What quality do you value most in a friend?

[aragtaghooligan]

Thanks for explaining your set. Now if you don't mind I am going to ask you the same question as the Eleventh.

what are your thoughts on euthanasia? I know most of my christian friends are all like sanctity of life no never nope. But I am taking an ethics course and I have to have opinions not based on "Well God said so" or "well I personally don't even like killing spiders so there is that" but I have to base them on reason. I'm having trouble saying no to euthanasia based solely on reason after doing my first readings for today.

The case studies are as follows. Please tell me what you think about each one. (Yes I realise I could have made this a debate topic but I'm not really into debate, I just want to know what you think as like a conversation so I won't get stressed and hide in a hole.)
1. A girl is born with a disease which effectively makes her brain dead. She therefore has no desires. She is not aware of life. The textbook basically claims this undoes her right to sanctity of life. To make it more complicated, her parents want her death to be hastened so they can donate her organs to help save another life. The hospital would not allow this and by the time she died (which was inevitable) her organs were unable to be used as they had deteriorated too much. The argument here is essentially that the organs were doing her no good but could have done another child good.

2. Two children are conjoined twins. If they stay together they shall both die. If they are separated the weaker twin will die, but the stronger one will live. The parents are devout catholics and say they can not actively kill one daughter. When told that both will die if they do not separate them the parents say that is up to God. The court intervened and ordered the twins to be separated. One lived one survived. Interestingly enough the argument that the court used was that they were not killing the twin, they were separating her, it just so happened they knew she would die as a result. Other arguments are similar to the first one.

3. This last one is the only one where I actually came up with something to say (after thinking about it for a long time). A father killed his 12 year old daughter because she was still operating at the level physically and mentally of a newborn due to an illness which was causing her a bunch of pain. This one did not have the complication of her death aiding another person. This was just a case of a person able to communicate thinking they can decide what is best for someone unable to communicate. My argument here is that just as the textbook said again and again that we cannot use the snowball fallacy to back up our arguments because we don't know what is going to happen in the future, I think we don't know what is going to happen in her future. I know tons of people who have lived when doctors thought they were going to die and who worked through great pain to have a better future.

This isn't plagiarism btw. I don't have to do an assignment about this. I just need to have something to say to participate in discussion on Friday and I'm stressed because I feel obligated to represent Christ in my class but I don't know how to do that using reason and I was curious what you thought about it.

Sorry this is such a long post.
