Citizen: I don't believe in murder
Government: Then don't kill anyone.

Abortion is not more murder than masturbation (you can't take a life that has not been started yet), so you can't compare the two.

comparing abortion to masterbation is... well idiotic. abortion is the termination of a fertilized egg. that means, it has its own DNA, its own life processes. masterbation, is your own freakin sperm, your self. nothing different than spitting. abortion ends a pregnancy. guess what, in all of history, no person has ever got pregnant with anything else other than a... wait for it... human! its not sperm, its not an elaphant, not a tumor, its a freakin human being. the moment it becomes fertilized, it becomes its own life, seperate from the mother. it has a different genome from the parents, its own cell division and specialization. Science constantly proves, it is a seperate living species from the parents. and as seeing as noone has got pregnant with anything other than a person, it pretty much narrows it down to what it is. A human being.


Citizen: I don't believe in eating animals.

Government: You don't have to eat meat. 

Let's thank god that this is how it works.


Citizen: I think racism is wrong.
Government: Don't discriminate then.

Not everyone thinks that racism is wrong. Therefore the government need to step in.

not everyone feels stealing is wrong, murder is wrong, rape is wrong...



Citizen: I want my kids to learn about anthropogenic climate change.
Government: Take them to Al Gore.

A school which base its teachings on research should be the best place to educate our children.

"semantic association"

Are there any papers proving this is valid?

Yes, though I don't know of any specific ones to show you.

Similarly, there is the "priming effect", where you can have two buttons for blue and red, and a whit screen alternating the two randomly. If you prime the mind with an imperceptible word "blue" studies have shown that the person will press the button for blue faster, and when shown red, would press it slower, showing that the mind was primed.

It's similar, but I'm not sure the methodology has loads of backup. Semantic association is pretty well defined, but the specific measures used in this test seem a little awkward. Like, I'm not sure "me" would be priming enough.

I class myself as totally straight and this somehow means I am homophobic?

Nice leap there.

If you read the OP, it said 20%. So, you still have 4/5 of being straight.

Yeah, I'm concerned that priming with "me" would definitely mean "this is how I think about myself", since that is what the study hinges on.



I once stumbled upon this site: http://gayhomophobe.com/

It documents anti-gay public figures who ended up being gay themselves.

So this is all based on a 35 millisecond subliminal message. Kind of a weak stretch if you ask me.

And I agree with the guy above me that said the term homophobic is wayyyyy overused now, same with racist.

^Although that last thing shouldn't even be an option in my opinion. Kids deserves better.

Then you're pretty intolerant yourself, aren't you?

That's not intolerant. I want the kids to make the choice of becoming a Christian by themselves. Parents are practically forcing them to follow their religion.

Preventing people from passing on their values to their own children because you feel you know better than they do is the very definition of intolerance. It is certainly more intolerant than someone who would simply want the government to not recognize a homosexual union as marriage.

Children always have the option of rejecting their upbringing. Many do it without such busybodying as you want.

Sperm too has its own DNA, and so does the egg. It's not a human being if it's not even aware of its own existence yet.
