First, he may not have been using a Star Trek quote, and may have never seen that episode or may not remember it. Second, you used the quote as well; should you be shot? Third, your response is trollish. Fourth, you call him insane instead of irrational...you should be more careful about your terminology, as insane is a legal term. Fifth, there is no good reason that using an argument from popular culture warrants death, or even disdain. Sixth, attacking the source of an argument, rather than the argument itself, is frequently a bad idea and poor logic.
Bad post.

If he's using that line, he remembers where it's from. Granted, rewatching Generations is a very unattractive prospect for most, so I can't really blame him for getting it wrong.
"...should be shot for..." is a common expression. Yeah, I should be shot too, but not just for that.
Let the mods determine trollish, and take this to a PM. I don't want more than one spam warning for this.... the suspension for it will be bad enough.
Where did I use it in any way other than clarification?
There's no argument at all in his post... if there were one, I'd have refuted it using logic instead of correcting a poorly quoted line taken out of context.

Hey all... I'm retired, not dead. Check out what I'm doing these days (and beg me to come back if you want):
You're just rephrasing the fundamental difference of opinion between the two sides, Stax.
To pro-lifers, a fetus is not a potential human, it is a human.
So what? That remains my answer, since this thread seems to be based in opinion. If you truly think all life is sacred, then of course you don't wish you had been aborted. If you don't and you're feeling depressed, maybe. If you're like me then you don't swing one way or the other but believe it's the parent's choice. This is why I tend to stay away from opinion based threads.
