  • he Geneva Conventions do not apply to interrogation of terrorists and suspected terrorists held by U.S. soldiers because they are not prisoners of war. They are illegal, enemy combatants, not subject to such protection.

      The fact that the Geneva Conventions do not apply in the interrogation of terrorists is a big PRO!

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill : chapter three - 0 views

  • Among the works of man, which human life is rightly employed in perfecting and beautifying, the first in importance surely is man himself. Supposing it were possible to get houses built, corn grown, battles fought, causes tried, and even churches erected and prayers said, by machinery--by automatons in human form--it would be a considerable loss to exchange for these automatons even the men and women who at present inhabit the more civilized parts of the world, and who assuredly are but starved specimens of what nature can and will produce. Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.

    This quote gives an example that goes along the lines of this (my interpretation): if we were able to replace anything that humans are doing, with machinery, and in doing so, increase our efficiency, shouldn't we? Well let me ask you this, isn't that what we're already doing? We let the computers and phones and websites and machines take over our whole lives. It may not be very clear how this relates to our topic, but in my opinion, the author worded it in a way to challenge the reader. He asks the question in a way to make the reader respond "Of course not. Why would we replace ourselves with something like a robot?" before they realize that we have, in fact, partially replaced ourselves with these "robots". I think this is important  because it shows how sometimes, just by hearing the theory of an argument, some people will say that it is wrong wrong wrong, but when actually faced with that problem, they would realize that there may be some exceptions to some moral rules. (argument should be used if they show statistics about more people agreeing that torture should not be used)

      Ca montre que l'expérimentation animale produit une pourcentage minimale de succès!
  • There has been a catalogue of errors and failures in animal testing,
  • Human beings share about 99% of their genes with chimpanzees and only slightly fewer with other monkeys. As a result, the reactions of these creatures are a very good guide to possible reactions of human patients. Even lower down the scale, other animals share the same basic physiology with humans. Furthermore, it would be immoral to risk the life of a human being when a medicine or procedure could instead be tested on a non-human animal. In fact, most animal experiments are done on animals that are nothing like hum
  • Scientifically, as well as morally, most animal experimentation is to be rejected - the reaction of a mouse to a substance is no guide to human reactions
  • The advent of genetic technologies has made possible all sorts of new and horrific acts of animal exploitation
  • t is only acceptable to test human medicines on human beings if they give their consent. Non-human animals are never able to give such consent

      "Millions of animals die each year in experiments, others are often not adequately anaesthetised and are abused by handlers and experimenters" -C'est LE point le plus concrète du débat CONTRE l'expérimentation animale. Besoin de faits avec sources, par contre.

      "The advent of genetic technologies has made possible all sorts of new and horrific acts of animal exploitation" -Le fait que la technologie évolue continuellement est un bon point pour nous car il y a plusieurs méthodes ou les animaux ne doivent pas être mal traités!

      "There has been a catalogue of errors and failures in animal testing." -Le fait qu'il y a une très grand nombre de fautes dans l'expérimentation animale est un argument qui va caser tous ceux de l'autre équipe. Si vous voulez tester des médicament POUR les humains, tester-les SUR les humains, et non pas sur d'autres espèces qui vont réagir différemment!
  • There has been a catalogue of errors and failures in animal testing,

    C'est une bonne outil pour les deux équipes qui sont en débat contre ou pour l'expérimentation animale.

  • Christmas has no religious meaning for people who do not share a Christian background
  • We should be more sensitive to the feelings of those around us and keep any Christian celebration for family and church.
  • “Happy Holidays” is a much more appropriate greeting
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • it is wrong to send cards that assume all of their employees have a Christian faith and wish to share it

Happiness Pursuit

shared by Daryl Bambic on 30 Oct 11 - Cached
  • Both the happiness and anti-happiness forces actually agree on something important—that we Americans tend to grab superficial quick fixes such as extravagant purchases and fatty foods to subdue any negative feelings that overcome us. Such measures seem to hinge on a belief that constant happiness is somehow our birthright. Indeed, a body of research shows instant indulgences do calm us down—for a few moments. But they leave us poorer, physically unhealthy, and generally more miserable in the long run—and lacking in the real skills to get us out of our rut.

    This can be added to your arguments that might still be building on the document!  It is long but easy to read because of the subtitles.
