Yes, but did you (or you and partner) actually conceive that sapphire?<br />

No! The sapphire belonged to somebody else, you stole it and swallowed<br />

it.<br />

I don’t see that you can compare <strong>the</strong>se two things. If you are an oyster<br />

and <strong>the</strong> object in question was a pearl you could, but that not what was<br />

stated was it?<br />

Prove that a full grown Jewish descended figerum is a human being and<br />

not simply a bag of tissues that would like to be a human being.<br />

Prove that a full grown negro slave is a human being and not a possesion<br />

To what extent are we allowed to impose our values and opinions on<br />

those who do not consider Jews or blacks to be real human beings.<br />
