hathycolIT Key Skills is Teh Evil. So you know. As I don't fancy doing it, I am instead going to answer a meme.
In God? Yes. There's a lot out there that I don't know the explanation of. Higher being is, bizarrely enough, the most logical explanation.
In ghosts? Yes.
In aliens? Yes. It's stupid to assume that we're the only ones in the universe.
In Bigfoot? Duh. No.
In fairies? A little part of me still claps compulsively every time someone says: "I don't believe in fairies." *clapclapclap*
In ESP? Yes and no. I believe it is possible, but I don't believe half of them actually have this ability. Schizphrenia is an option that should never be ruled out.
In superstition? No. My mother does. Bizarrely, she thinks that shoes in the table=death.
In equal rights for gays? No shit sherlock. Of course. Why should we be discriminated against?
In equal rights for women? See above.
In psychics? Erm... yes and no. See ESP.
In appearance? I make judgements based on it, but I don't believe it shows the king of person you are.
In auras? No. Load of rubbish.
In true love? I'd like to.
In happy endings? See above. No one ever mentions Cinderella's messy divorce settlement, do they?
In abortions? Yes. You are legally dead after your heart starts beating. Therefore, you are not alive until it starts beating. You are merely a collection of cells. A parasite, if you will.
In Santa? What are you trying to say?
In soulmates? Yes, but most people can be happy with anyone.
In magic? This is like the fairy thing again. I don't want to completely let go of my childhood, Sensible Mature Person I may be.
In evolution? Yes yes and YES.
In cloning? No. Leave the genepool alone.
In fraggles? Yes. Clangers too.
In werewolves? Nope. Unless his name is Remus. Or Oz. Or Angua.
In vampires? Nope, unless his name is Angel, Spike or Otto.
In miracles? Yes, actually.
In existing thylacines? I'm sure one of the Science People can explain this.
In Nessie? See Bigfoot.
In existing dinosaurs? Like, say, crocodiles?
In interracial marriages? By that, do you mean marrying your pet dog? Because we're all the same species.
In adoptions? Yes yes YES!
In saving dying species? Yes yes YES!
In the human race? I have to, otherwise I'd go mad.
In recycling? I'm the only one in my house that recycles regularly.
In blue tigers? Why, yes. When drunk.
In tattoos? Not really my thing.
In plastic surgery? Not really my thing.
In love in general? Yes. Because I have to.
In animal rights? Yes.
In the death penalty? No. Simle answer. I think it's abhorrent.
And now the lesson is over. Off I toddle to... RADA meeting!

When an animal picks up that an epileptic is about to have a seizure, it's the change in the aura that's being detected. However, I think the idea that your aura dictating your personality/mood is a load of crap, for the simple reason that all electrical objects exhibit auras. No-one says an electric toaster is outgoing and fiery because it has a red aura, so why do the same for a human brain? It's an electrical object, plain and simple, and the aura is a side-effect of the electromagnetic radiation surrounding it.
And the other thing - abortion. I do believe in abortion; it's a matter of choice. But I don't think the heart beating is an entirely concrete argument - your heart is one of the first organs to develop in utero and beats a few thousand times before birth. Even before the ball of cells has become a proper heart, it is already beating.
A thylacine is a Tasmanian wolf. They still existed in the nineteenth century, but are probably extinct now.

Date: 2004-02-13 05:35 pm (UTC)I know that the heart beats something like.. is it fifteen weeks into the pregnancy? After that I think abortion should only be allowed under extreme circumstances. But before that, we're still just a big ole parasite. Of course, it's a very invididual decision.
And thankyou for the Tasmanina Wolf thing.
