Ultrathread I: Thread of the Year - 2014

[Apey]

This is the bit I want to explore though. Why do we feel like that?

Do you mean why do we feel like we need to take our own lives or something else?

I am not saying they can't, and I am not morally opposed to it (the courage to take your own life is enormous, don't get me wrong) although I don't think it is the answer. I am also not saying they shouldn't be allowed either. Choice is choice. I'm asking should they take their own life?

Fair enough.

It is a very permanent solution. Pain and suffering can (although not always) pass in time for everything but chronic and terminal illness. When one gets to that point where it is an option, should we simply have a 'hands off' approach and allow them to do it? Or shouldn't we as a society attempt to alleviate their pain and suffering with what methods we have and support them through it?

It is always dependent on the situation. The fact is for some illnesses there is just nothing you can do except expect to endure pain and suffering. I don't think we should try to prevent those people doing what they want to do just to further a personal warm and fuzzy feeling that human life is special.

I'm suggesting we didn't hunt and kill humans as apex predators.

Hunt and kill a lion for food? Yes. Hunt and kill each other for food? I don't think that's what we were doing.

Happy to have my point of view changes. Have you got a source?

Best way to get more food is to shorten the number of mouths the food is going to. If me you and bazal split a pizza, and i mercilessly slaughter you, me and bazal get half a pizza instead of a third.

Nah, do anything more than barely shuffling down a hallway and your feet die from sweat. Terrible idea.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

well, not much debate so far

 

[Red Bear]

:lol:

I just wore mine to work where I was getting lunch, didn't realise it was really an issue. It's cold and they're warm

 

[HowHigh]

Did well staying home and saving money last night but just did a bit of online shopping...oh well guess it's better than wasting it on booze and pokies

 

[Rhino_NQ]

ugg boots are the ghey

 

[Red Bear]

ugg boots are both warm and comfortable.

Although I guess it doesn't get cold in Qld, not such a need for them

 

[afinalsin666]

Never really got Uggs, my runners and socks are more comfortable and just as warm.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

footy socks under my work boots for cold mornings

 

[Dani]

My hands and feet are either ridiculously cold or sweating profusely. I'm sure it's the diabetes but I can't be stuffed researching it.

 

[HowHigh]

I thought ugg boots were for females don't think I've seen a guy wear them lol

One of the worst sights in the world are chicks wearing ugg boots and mini skirts.

Ive got uggs that come out when its cold, and they stay at home 99% of the time. The 1% is for late night movies where I cant be f**ked changing.
