This may sound odd, but in this context, I would be neutral.  Here's why:

If you weren't actually running, there's absolutely no reason why you would be employing me to write speeches for you... when you aren't actually using them.  It's just a waste of money that would need to come from your pocket just to get someone else to claim you're running... not that great a plan.  So if his argument is that you aren't running, it would be illogical for him to argue that you're paying me... and thus, in the world where he's right and you're not running... I'm neutral, because I'm not employed by you.  So for his argument to be true, he's forced to accept my neutrality as a prerequisite to his argument. 

But if you are running, my bias would be irrelevant to the matter.

Actually, there may be a medical problem with harvesting organs from criminals.  Drugs in particular...

Prisons are obviously big drug problem areas, depending on the country, many of which would damage the very organs that would be harvested.  In addition, the execution itself would have to be overhauled so that the execution method wouldn't harm the organs (so the electric chair is pretty much out).  In theory, the organ extraction itself could be the method of execution... except that witnesses attend the executions.  I'm pretty sure it would be considered cruel and unusual to have the family of a death row inmate come to see a doctor remove the criminal's heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, eyes, etc.

Not that I'm necessarily against it... just highlighting some hurdles it would need to overcome.

For the record, xeno's looking to get a draft spot.

From his thread in uni news.

Xeno, please try not to make my job more complicated than it has to be. 

Suit yourself...

Closing the thread in Uni News.  I suggest you put what content you wanted from that thread into this thread, then.

Making me actually do work for once today...

Okay, who broke xeno? 

So... you're asking people to...

Do what they normally do?

Yeah, and this is definitely being moved to General... or maybe Community?  Dang, I don't even know where this would belong, but it's definitely not here... to the General forum!

/me thinks Zarf thinks threads should be placed into their appropriate sub-thread under punishment of death, isn't that right, Zarf?

I was wondering how long it would take before someone would comment on the avvy.  Tehehehehe...   Thanks for not disappointing! 

Did someone that isn't me just invoke Godwin's Law?  I feel like I'm just not doing my job anymore...

EDIT: Wait a sec... Mussolini was Italian!  Godwin's law is specific to the Nazis!  Primo's just bending the law's wording to fit his own personal gain... JUST LIKE THE NAZIS!

Oh, right...

General ---> Politics

Seriously... Justinian, if that's so rare for you... we need to switch cities!

Somewhere in the world, someone working in marketing just had a heart attack.
