Sure, sounds cool.
Do you think you'd still be the same conscious being though? Or would you, like, die?
It'd still be me, I imagine. I don't have any claim on any particular atoms, which get changed out regularly anyway.

Seems pointless. Even if you could 'repair' someone, why would it be necessary?

Purebred breeding is largely unethical. I would never knowingly by from such a breeder.

He also said it's "aberration" to kill in the name of God, as well as: “Each person not only has the freedom but also the obligation to say what he thinks in the name of the common good,” the pope said. But “each religion has its dignity. I cannot make fun of it.” And bear in mind he's talking to Catholics, telling them to respect others' beliefs and to not mock them. That's like grade-school morality right there. Nothing controversial. Spoiler By the way, I don't usually defend this guy. Typically the media distorts his message to make it seem like he's some radically progressive guy when in reality he's been towing the same line other popes have for decades. But in this case, I think they're purposefully distorting the context and meaning of his speech, largely by omitting certain parts.

The brother of the kid who died killed himself a few months after Simons filed the lawsuit.
What an unbelievable bitch.

I said it once and I'll say it again. Africa should never have been introduced to the Abrahamic religions. These kinds of things have been going on for decades.
Those religions developed in north Africa. They weren't just introduced willy nilly.

Islam prohibits worshipping representations of him, not actually making one.
If you're an extremist, just don't bow down and worship the comic. Problem solved.

Why is it against the rules anyways?
Because it creates a conflict of interest for the professor, and is an unethical use of a position of authority. Whether it's rape or even abuse is the issue, though.

I think we can have a reasonable discussion about the culpability of the students in this article without resorting to inflammatory remarks.

http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2015/01/barrett_the_honors_college_at_asu_is_a_close-knit_community_some_say_too_cl.phpThat's a big article. Feel free to read through all of it, but I'm going to pull some stuff out that I think deserves discussion. Obviously professors dating their students is inappropriate, and if that needs to be explained then feel free to post, but I don't think you really belong in this particular thread. tl;dr of the article: profs banged students, then got fired and/or committed suicide. "One thing my professor said to me when he ended this affair still sticks out to me," Jane wrote in the closing of her Title IX complaint testimony. "He had no idea that what he was doing was wrong or even against the rules, because it was so common for Barrett Honors College professors to be involved with students that all of the honors faculty saw it as normal." Jane was devastated when Hunter broke off their relationship. She continued to see him on campus, and she says she became depressed to the point of attempting suicide. As time passed -- and after she learned of Lester's work on campus -- Jane says her view of the relationship changed.
"He took advantage of his power over me to coerce me," Jane says in an e-mail. "This wasn't a consensual relationship. It was sexual abuse and it was rape."
In the testimony she provided for Lester's complaint, Jane says she felt trapped by the need to maintain Hunter as a reference, as well as fear that coming forward would mar her reputation, make her feel unsafe, and harm her relationships with other faculty. So she didn't say anything. A Barrett professor brought this up in the comments, and I wanted you folks to have a crack at it.

That's okay, there's no way a sequel could have topped the masterpiece that was Dredd.

I'm really forgetful, so for forum discussions that I tend to take part in sometimes I'll make a word document with sources and notes. For my schedule I do everything on my desktop in Google Calendar, which syncs to my phone. I use Any.Do for daily checklist things that I might forget about.
My studying tools are:
-Coffitivity/Light classical or piano/white noise (Simply Noise)
-Pomodoro timers, like Mytomatoes.com (which is my favorite, but is currently down)

Soap or any other non-caustic degreaser or solvent? Sanding sounds like the only option after that.

I thought of myself, so a clone of myself has spontaneously been generated into existence. This would create a monopole gravitational wave that would very slightly shift the behavior of nearby astronomical bodies, possibly confusing some up-and-coming physics students in a few hundred years once the effect is measurable.
Oh and he'd probably let me out and we'd grab a beer.

I worked retail for 5 years and I got all sorts of "sweety/honey/darling" from old ladies. Very handsy, too. Had an old woman shove a tip into my back pocket for taking her grocery cart out to her car, among other things.
Never saw it as invasive, since I can understand the context of someone's behavior, though if she really does feel uncomfortable from terms of endearment or physical touch, I don't really see the problem with this complaint. Don't touch other people.

http://www.fox10phoenix.com/clip/11014328/activist-critical-of-police-undergoes-use-of-force-scenariosWe've seen protests all across the country after police officers have been accused of shooting people who aren't armed. But what happens when an activist gets put into a scenario that officers face daily? The encounter is eye-opening for a Phoenix activist. tl;dr a local activist that led marches against cops shooting unarmed suspects took a shoot/don't-shoot course in Phoenix and changed his opinion on whether cops are justified in some cases.
