Hypocrisy on Abortion?

in Politics Discussion 5 days ago

zero129 said: RolStoppable said: Because the mother is a conscious being while the fetus is not. Old people who suffer from dementia get their rights removed because they are no longer in a position where they can make reasonable decisions for themselves. In such cases, it's usually a family member of theirs that gets to make the important decisions and sign documents in their...

At what point is this child abuse? Trans kids.

in Politics Discussion on 25 April 2019

First bolded:I should not have typed "we" and should have typed what i personally thought about it but im pretty sure the OP his intention of this thread was not saying children shouldn't be supported but more children shouldn't be abused and i know you like to transform that because of the examples but his intention stays.(The examples are no proof of support OR abuse...

Popular Twitch speedrunner banned for "leaking" the N-Word

in General Discussion on 23 April 2019

Those saying his use of the word was fine seem to be ignoring the different connotations of the N-word ending with an "a" vs. an "er". When I see a kid who other posts have shown has some definitely bigoted views on the trans community say "sup N-word" with a hard "er" I have a hard time thinking that this is meant to be a "'sup dude" kind of use. Rather, I think it's obvious he's using it in a...

Active shooter situation reported in Christchurch, New Zealand

in Politics Discussion on 22 April 2019

MrWayne said: Torillian said: Perhaps, or maybe they said Easter worshippers because the attack happened on Easter. I disagree with the idea that the term is more ambiguous because like you said the only people who would be worshipping in a church on Easter would be Christians. We will never know what their real intent was but if they just used "Christian" nobody would...

Active shooter situation reported in Christchurch, New Zealand

in Politics Discussion on 22 April 2019

MrWayne said: Torillian said: So if you think that Easter worshippers in a church are by definition Christian then what's the issue? Obama: it's sad that 10 squares will killed this Saturday. Conservative: Fuckin' coward doesn't want to say that rectangles were murdered. Why are they(not only Clinton and Obama) using this strange term instead of the much more well known...

Active shooter situation reported in Christchurch, New Zealand

in Politics Discussion on 22 April 2019

MrWayne said: the-pi-guy said: How horrible of Obama and Clinton to use a broader term that could include people that aren't Christians. As a Christian, this is the biggest nothing being used to attack Obama Ive seen. That's not that strange, seeing as how when they tweeted, no one knew who the perpetrators were.Ã‚Â Besides mentioning that the terror...

At what point is this child abuse? Trans kids.

in Politics Discussion on 22 April 2019

Immersiveunreality said: Torillian said: NO idea what you're getting at with the first statement, please rephrase. What I've seen is people equating supporting a kid's gender choices with letting them drink, do drugs, or join a fucking war because kids don't know what they want. Tell me how that isn't assuming harm from the choice, and against the idea of supporting the kid's...

Wiibaron said: Kids would like to eat a bag of marshmallows for breakfast every day. Do we let them because that is their preference? Can you give me an argument for why that is a reasonable example compared to kids having questions about their gender? ...

At what point is this child abuse? Trans kids.

in Politics Discussion on 21 April 2019

Immersiveunreality said: Torillian said: What evidence do you have to the contrary that says that trans children supported in their decision still have a higher degree of mental issues?Ã‚Â Alright, so you've got a descriptive claim that the trans community suffers from higher suicide rates. Now let's try for a normative statement. Mine would be that we...

At what point is this child abuse? Trans kids.

in Politics Discussion on 21 April 2019

Immersiveunreality said: Torillian said: Again, stop just asserting that supporting a child in their gender identity is bad for them and show me the evidence. I've got research showing that trans youth who were supported in their transition have no different suicide rate than the general population. So, if you want to make the claim that supporting a child in that manner is...
