'Life is precious' - let's start with that
It is 100% correct

Life IS precious

Take a spaceship, and fly around space and in a MILLION years, you will not find another life comparable to your most caveman-esque Republican.

Every one of us, with our detriments, downsides and demarcations - will not provide anything comparable to what you would find in most of the universe.

As a result, don't kill.

Killing only kills ourselves, which are precariously poised between life and death.

Life. Is. Precious.

Honor it. Love it. Embrace it.

We ARE life. They are LIFE.

Just sayin'

2. Despite my anger, I have a "No Kill, No Hurt" policy

4. Actually that's my motto too
And being kind to strangers and smiling at people I don't know in public

6. I find your claim specious, Earthling.
It will not be granted merit. Life has a value of exactly $14.17...hardly precious.

7. Yes, but if you took someone - a random person - could you find someone exactly like them?
Millions of light years, and you will not find another exactly the same...

“Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.” - Carl Sagan

8. We are life indeed.

For me, life even in it's darkest depths, is miraculous and beautiful.

9. Is every psychopath precious? What about the pedophiles?
Sorry, but your philosophy is a bit too sentimental for my tastes.

"Life just is."

10. Even pedophiles have people who care about them
Don't get me wrong, I'm all about locking them up for life
