[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;33210310]you can blame the delta region for that[/QUOTE] Indeed. Ignorance is far more concentrated in the Delta than anywhere else.
the problem is that the delta region is so poor it can't afford literally anything. it's like living in the worst parts of africa there, you see bunch of black kids that haven't eaten in days running around with no shoes and drinking dirty water. [editline]9th November 2011[/editline] the high class white folk might have a 70 year old acoustic guitar from a sears catalog to keep themselves entertained and basic things like running water and power are luxuries there.

As someone who owned a poultry business for 6 years (sold them all when I entered college); I have personally cracked several hundred people. Wait this applies to all eggs right?
You know it failed right? It was 60% NO. The amendment was introduced in a petition from 1 person and 300,000 signatures. The issue was then pushed by the Personhood Initiative by a SuperPAC from Colorado. It wasn't Mississippian's that wanted this, it was fucking out of state corporations. Get your facts strait before you start calling an entire state stupid.

[QUOTE=imptastick;33225022]As someone who owned a poultry business for 6 years (sold them all when I entered college); I have personally cracked several hundred people. Wait this applies to all eggs right?[/QUOTE] I am more impressed that you ran a poultry business in 6th grade
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;33124697]The only one here that I disagree with is the chicken yolk. The thing in that picture will never be a chicken, no matter what you do to it or how long you wait. It is the inside of an unfertilizable chicken egg and it always will be. Well at least until its cooked over easy and put on toast with bacon and a side of OJ, but then its breakfast.[/QUOTE] There's yolk inside a fertilized chicken egg until ~day 15, when it's absorbed into the chest cavity. People eat fertilized eggs all the time, they cook the exact same way as long as you don't accidentally properly rotate it and have it in the right temperature/humidity rotations to where it'd have meat spots in it. Although I agree with the fact that the picture doesn't show it right since the yolk is already out of the egg. I honestly don't agree with abortion, but I think laws like this are stupid and counter-intuitive. If the thing doesn't even have a developed brain, what sets it apart from a tree? Also, the fact that it'd be more illegal to kill a fertilized egg cell than to torture an animal, which is really stupid considering the animal can actually comprehend the pain.
Would one of these anti-abortion asshats kindly tell me what the fuck we're supposed to do with all the babies that would hit the adoption circuit? Do they really want to pay to raise that many children? I sure as hell don't.

I sure as hell don't.[/QUOTE] There's actually more demand to adopt then there are children to adopt (assuming you don't count international adoptions), but that's beside the point
[QUOTE=Elizer;33119273]the amendment would define a fertilized egg as a person with full legal rights[/QUOTE] [quote=Universal Declaration of Human Rights]no-one may be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or imprisonment[/quote] "You're staying in this tiny, wet hole for 9 months because you're alive" sounds like arbitrary imprisonment
[QUOTE=Zeke129;33255086]There's actually more demand to adopt then there are children to adopt (assuming you don't count international adoptions), but that's beside the point[/QUOTE] No, there is more demand to adopt then there are newborns to adopt. If we had a surplus of demand then there wouldn't be any children in foster homes.
Personally out of interest, when do you guys believe that life does begin?
[QUOTE=viperfan7;33119284]so how many cells are in an egg, and how many cells are in the brain alone?[/QUOTE] About the same in Mississippi
[QUOTE=Hiccuper;33257199]Personally out of interest, when do you guys believe that life does begin?[/QUOTE] I think conception/fertilization is a good place to define the start of life. That doesn't mean the new life in question yet has any rights.

Of course I realise its not going to grow into a chicken if its been cracked like that.
[QUOTE=Hiccuper;33257199]Personally out of interest, when do you guys believe that life does begin?[/QUOTE] Fertilization, but I don't think there's any need to give it rights because it doesn't even have specialized cells developing into it's nervous system yet. I mean, why give single cells more care than we give our animal population? I don't see anybody charging people killing them with murder (at least anywhere near the same punishment), and I don't see how anything that's not a developed human being should be any different.
