Where do you get the stats from that men are mostly responsable for unprotected sex,do you assume that because you personally think it is logical or do you have a source to go to see the numbers?

It's pregnancies as a result of unprotected sex, and it should all be in my previous posts. But to summarize:
A woman can cause pregnancy ~24 days a year. A man can cause pregnancy 365 days a year.
The ones who primary push for unprotected sex are men, for obvious reasons.
And if they want to have unprotected sex, men can have vasectomies which would eliminate any unwanted pregnancies, and it doesn't come with the risks or list of nasty side effects like women's contraceptives. (Blood clots, heart/health problems, heart attack, stroke, etc.)

I'll leave it to you to decide if it was a joke.

Now give me your Soul Eater.

Maybe you are right yes i'm too focussed on in relationship sex and i know shit about the overall stats but i don't see the same logic as you atm because while a man has more chance to cause it allround the year a women KNOWS when there is a high chance to get pregnant so clear communication is very important at those times.

Bolded: K got it,skipped too much reading and took it serious so excuse me. :p

Illegals aren't getting massive benefits.

Are set up so that illegal immigrants can call on crime.  For example if an illegal immigrant sees someone getting murdered, they can call the police without worrying about repercussions.

>dems want to little to no limit on the number of people 

False.  Just because dems don't think spending billions on a border wall is worth it, doesn't mean they want everyone to come over.  Most illegal immigrants aren't going to be stopped by a wall.  

Mr Puggsly said:

Its a good deal for those countries though. The remittances Mexico gets is a nice boost for their economy and a free welfare system.

Unlike the US, Mexico has a universal healthcare system.

Now maybe youre thinking if they all just become citizens they can pay taxes too! But the problem is they would not generate enough tax revenue to support a welfare state unless we are all taxed heavily... like other social states.

Yes all those other social states with low unemployment.

Do a little research please, your ideology doesnt work.

I would say you're the one in need of doing some research.  


In the imaginary world where 10's of million of people are illegally coming to the US, and are being given 10's of thousands of dollars just for sitting on their behinds, you are absolutely correct.  

In the real world though, there are only about 11 million illegal immigrants and that number has been consistently falling over the past 10 years.  

And they aren't being given massive amounts of money.


The biggest expense for the US is the elderly with medicare and social security.  

It's not the poor, it's not the illegal immigrants.  It is the elderly by far.  

Mr Puggsly said:

The concept of universal healthcare is nice, its just paying for it thing people won't like. We're gonna need a massive tax hike and that is going to push many millions of people out of private healthcare.

Again, what the democrats are proposing is far more ambitious and generous than what other countries provide. Especially if we have a massive number of people entering legally or otherwise.

I've gotten to a point I actually wish democrats were actually honest about what Europe or Canada actually provide, be honest who is affected by the taxes (spoiler: not just the rich) and of course admit other countries aren't as generous as democrats want to be. I also don't believe the other western countries have the same number of illegals coming in either. I assure you the democrats in the US do not want to just emulate other countries, that isn't ambitious or irresponsible enough.

>what the democrats are proposing is far more ambitious and generous than what other countries provide

How so?

Considering the size of the state there is plenty of space for housing and apartments, just look at countries that have more population in a smaller area.

Yes, man need to be so conscious to shoulder the concerns of health and unwanted babies of woman as well while woman don't need to concern about it shoving the responsibility to man. All you say just show that you put man responsibility on this much much much above woman, just missing man being the sole responsible by a thin margin.

I do hope on your life you don't expect others to take responsibility for your actions because they led you to it as if you were completely passive on it.

It's because they're the only ones that can have that procedure. Considering the risks for women with birth control, and pregnancy, it would be the more reasonable alternative.

But things are the way they are. You're right, you can't expect someone else to do it.
Though if someone suggests that all/most responsibility is on a woman, these are the reasons for why I found that particularly strange.

That and I'm white knighting all women.

Mr Puggsly said:

-Snip-

If you're talking about planned pregnancies, then I suppose I can understand the reasoning.
For unprotected sex in general, you could change the sentence to "if men who want unprotected sex got vasectomies". It's safer and more effective than birth control.

Yes as long as we accept that both are equally responsible for taking care of their interest and in the case of sex men wanting to use condom and that woman takes pill, while woman takes the pill and insist man use condom. Plus of course if you want to be a bachelor fucking all around certainly vasectomy would be a minimum.

Errr the man can't make a woman pregnant when she can't make herself, so just because male can make a woman pregnant at any time he have sex that woman would still need to be during fertile days (which isn't just 2 days a month anyway, it is about 3x as much because semen survives inside the womb). And unless you are considering odd cases of a man that have sex each day with a different woman and all of them are in fertile window and accept to do without protection but only after forcefully insistence then that would be a very odd claim from you.

>what the democrats are proposing is far more ambitious and generous than what other countries provide

How so?

I suppose it becomes a debate on how many billions of dollars is massive support for illegals.

In practice sanctuary are more like cities illegals simply dwell in and may even get benefits, even if they commit crimes. I dont understand this myth that police kick out every illegal they see. If thats the case then theyre doing a terrible job.

Politically Im where center used to be. Your arguments have always been left of that. Dems right now are in the far left. Republicans have found themselves more to the center, unless its a very conservative state. I dont agree with all republican views but I find myself siding with them more just for being closer to the center.

What if the middle class cant afford the tax hikes along with a private healthcare premium? Dems dont want to admit that will happen with their plans. Democrats want options, high taxes reduce options so the politicians lie.

Its a mix of high taxes and too many regulations that have people fleeing blue states. The thing is you arent acknowleding democratic cities have thrived in the past and are seeing a massive decline in recent years. If they were simply run better they would keep growing. People want to live in big cities and democrats keep chasing people away.

In the grand scheme of our spending on the wall is a drop in the bucket. Many more billions go to dealing with illegals. The wall works but not on its own and frankly has become symbolic. Simply throwing illegals out would actually kill demand for a wall.

I did a quick searxh on Mexico's welfare in general, its pathetic and I dont see universal healthcare.

High taxes arent something the dems can run on. They are trying to convince people it will be paid by the rich. Its a lie and many of the illegals wont be able to pay much tax and provide for themselves entirely. They arent exactly highly educated.

We dont know how many illegals are actually in the country, now count is really done for ideological teasons. Estimates vary from 10 to 20 million. Some estimates believe 100K enter monthly. Another $4 billion just went to providing additional care for illegals coming. The whole thing is a mess, thats reality. What has declined is people coming from Mexico while people from other countries has increased.

Indeed, a lot of resources does go to the elderly and rightfully so. Perhaps we arent collecting enough taxes to simply take care of that, perhaps people retire too early and maybe the government is doing a terrible job negotiating healthcare costs (because they suck with money). Essentially we have a government doing a terrible job balancing our current budget yet want to spend significantly more with new social programs. You're actually helping my argument.

I've argued if our government can't find a way to provide reasonably priced healthcare for 100+ million of whatever number they provide for. What good can we expect from another 150 million they hope to take from private providers?

Well this is something we agree on.

But why is this such a problem in liberal cities and evidently states.

Im confused why people leaving blue states dont just change cities. But the fact they change states entirely shows the states in general are a mess.

Yeah, it's considering sex with multiple people. I suppose it's to highlight how many pregnancies a single man can cause while 'pressuring women into unprotected sex during unsafe days' as a factor. But a fertile woman needs to be involved in each case, so depending on how you look at them being pressured into it, it doesn't necessarily add anything to the conversation.

Royaltor speculation is a common thing. But still government control and taxes are things that increase cost of living in these places.

No, but I was told that Trump supporters misinterpreted the healthcare plan and ran with it, so they consider universal healthcare (which obviously includes American citizens) a bad thing.

The concept of universal healthcare is nice, its just paying for it thing people won't like. We're gonna need a massive tax hike and that is going to push many millions of people out of private healthcare.

The irony is... The Universal Health Care systems like the Australian model have proven to be more efficient than the American model whilst providing a higher quality of service.... And all for a lower cost. That's right... It's cheaper.

So if anything, it should result in reduced taxes due to less overheads.

I just don't know why there is such an endless debate to healthcare in the USA, feels like it's been going on for decades?

If they were part of the British Empire which covered almost a quarter of the land area of earth at it's peak... And is a developed nation. (I.E. New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and so on) then it can be regarded as a western nation.

****

Well. Even here we need to "pay" for some health services, it's still a universal system, often the payments get deferred/bulk billed and the Government picks up the tab unless you exceed a high tax threshold.

That table doesn't really demonstrate if similar schemes are in-place... But considering that the Australian system is built upon the foundations of the European system, I don't see why it wouldn't be.
