Progressive.

Name: Anonymous 2006-01-31 1:02

Hi, I'm black college student studying human biology and medicine and I am a democrat, but thinking of voting differently next election.

Who decides what progressive means and what progress is?

The discovery of anti-biotics was progressive, the civil rights movement was progressive, Maya Angelou is progressive. So why exactly is having more promiscuous gay sex "progressive"? How exactly is socialism progressive? Why is mass immigration progressive? None of these things do any good.

P.S. Finland is a republic with a 50% tax rate, not socialist republic or a democratic socialism. If you want to look as socialist "republics" go to China, North Korea and Vietnam and if you want actual republics and democracies go to neighbouring Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea. These countries, even though they have a wider poor-rich gap still provide better care for their worse off than countries who supposedly value equality.

Your post is littered with misunderstanding and wrongness, nonetheless:

Gay sex is progressive because human rights is progressive. Gay sex is human rights. White slave owners would have said something similar to what you are "how is nigger voting progressive?", except they wanted blacks to reproduce so that they could work and rape their daughters, so they would be for sex.

Socialism is progressive because it is the future. The world will not sustain Capitalism forever, the world will not tolerate Capitalism forever. Progressives desire change for the better, and just about every single educated human being on Earth understands that the Socialist Democracy is the model of the better future.

Mass immigration .. Is not progressive. However, if we had Progressive politics to begin with, it wouldn't even be an issue.

In general, Progression is idealistic change. It's not crushing the poor to pump the economy, it's not invading foreign countries because we don't like them, it's not rejecting new ideas because of fear. It's thoughtful, clear judgement and hope. If you want to know what progressive means take a look at its polar opposite.

Gay sex progressive? Perhaps.

Promiscuity though, whether gay or straight, is completely irresponsible. I vote we cut the balls off anyone who can't seem to resist a hole, otherwise we may find everyone infected with STDs and our medical system down the tube.

What, praytell, does people being prevented from voting due to their skin color have to do with "gay rights"? Granted, I don't care what people do as long as it doesn't affect me, but I find attempts to hitch causes to the civil rights movement to be dishonest, at best.

I'm kind of curious what the reasons are as to why "the world will not sustain Capitalism forever" when capitalism is the reason why the world, or at least the industrialized world, can sustain the number of people that it does. If socialist democracy is "the model of the better future," why do socialist countries have higher unemployment, lower productivity, and falling birthrates, unlike the evil capitalist U.S.? Oh, and here's a tip: the smug superiority isn't very endearing.

Also, if "progressive" politics mean mass immigration is no problem, why do "progressive" countries like France have such issues?

The conclusion of your post is similar tripe, but it does highlight the problem with labels like "progressive." The label can be stretched to fit basically anything, because the word "progressive" has a positive connotation. Who will describe themselves as "anti-progressive" or "regressive"?

"What, praytell, does people being prevented from voting due to their skin color have to do with "gay rights"?"

In context to what I was responding to, it makes a lot. The OP asked why gay sex was progressive. Read: why homosexuality was progressive. Read: why homosexuals deserve rights. Read: why humans are equal. ALL civil rights causes are equivalent, regardless of the persons being persecuted or those doing the persecuting. Niggers hate fags, whites hate niggers, fags hate butches, butches hate niggers, niggers hate whites. We all want to recall each other's rights. Why do you think being a gay nigger is such a laughable situation? Whites have earned a right to be homosexuals through several thousand years of superiority, niggers have just 50 years ago earned the right to exist. Your confusion lies in your hatred, nothing else. The black civil rights movement has tried to segregate itself from the homosexuality rights movement because everybody hates gays. In 150 years, when trimorphindextrous-crossdressing-aliens want to get married, the faggots in wheelchairs and on breathing tubes will say "WE WERE FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE, YOU JUST WANT TO STICK YOUR DICK IN A TENTACLE." And you wonder why I speak as if I'm superior to you?

"when capitalism is the reason why the world, or at least the industrialized world, can sustain the number of people that it does."
LOLS. I refuse to even address this with more than laughter. Of course, you'll tell yourself in your mind that I stepped away from the argument because I didn't have one. And of course, you'll never understand the world. Read the front page of a newspaper and come back to me. I suspect you live in the US, otherwise the censors wouldn't have filtered the fact that the entire world is drifting towards pure socialism. If you want some hard evidence take a look in in your cupboards.

And I never stated homosexuals, or anyone else, for that matter, are somehow not human or not entitled to rights. But anyway, yeah, I'm just blinded by my irrational desire to kill faggots.

If you learned a thing or two about history, perhaps you wouldn't be laughing. What raised the standard of living in Western countries to its present state? Hint: it wasn't socialism. Even Marx acknowledged that. Of course, I'm just parroting back government-implanted propaganda intended to perpetuate the state of conflict needed to justify the continued oppression of the proletariat. Socialism is actually responsible for every advancement in human history, and enlightened socialist utopias like France and Belgium are paradises of flowers and sunshine where all class distinctions have ceased to exist.

Nope. Not 16. 24, no girlfriend and I actually have a preference for (protected) casual sex. We can't all commit, some of us don't want to have deal with a relationship right now and some of us are smart enough/handsome enough to get laid with different partner every once in a while (Meaning: We're not you).

We don't all have to prescribe to your "social contract". Especially when people forego their very own contracts quite blantantly and without shame. Especially in this instance where it is clear that it's more of a moral contract that uses fear, ignorance and bigotry. Not a common understanding of ethics.

If people use a condom or birth control it's not a problem. Obviously this is a segment of people you don't deal with anyway, right? So don't worry about it. You're safe and the kind of people you think follow the social contract are safe- so what's the problem? We're just killing ourselves, right? Case closed. You shouldn't expect everyone to conform to what you want. Because in the end, no one cares what you think. Nobody even respects you. Unless you're prepared to do something by force- you have no choice but to sit back and watch the rest of the world exclude you because your narrowminded view points.

You're pathetic. And if you think it has anything to do with looks, wake up. Anyone can go down to a bar or a party and get laid tonight. You're not special; you're just stupid (and probably too pathetic for anyone to want to establish a stable relationship with).

As for social contract (you do know what that is, right?), one common element is: don't harm other citizens without good reason. A good reason is self defence. Blue balls isn't. As a member of SCOTUS once succinctly put it: "The freedom to swing your fist ends where my nose begins".

So why do you think you have some right to fuck around infecting other people? The large resevoir of STDs we have today, as well as the explosions going on elsewhere, are largely thanks to people like you and intravenous drug users.

Gotta love ad hominem attacks. All of your arguments are assumptions and straw men. Social contracts are funny things in that they are completely fucking subjective.

That's not the same thing as the debate we're having by any stretch of imagination. I'm actually working on two degrees right now and have done enough study in ethics to know that people call: "SOCIAL CONTRACT" only when it suits them. I can call social contract on a bunch of shit you do that I don't agree with- it amounts to fuck all.

Hmm, somehow this thread is going nowhere....

First of all, I think progressive (as in progress) could be defined as aiming for something better. First, rules in general were progressive. Some people told others, that "God" wants them to stop acting like total monkeys and that they couldn't go around at simply kill each other.
Also, marriage and monogamy were introduced just because men wanted to control their women. Is it really my child has always been a valid question and in some states in remains today.
Why was gay sex outlawed? Well, I'd say because those Christians  back in the day needed some scape goats in order to define their community better. Also, a society needs to grow. Gay sex does not produce any children (obviously) and a society which is outgrown by other takes a big risk of being destroyed by others who are more productive. Gay sex was simply there for enjoyment, and enjoyment had no place in Puritan ideology.

Under the circumstances back then, some of these rules actually made sense. But today, a lot of things have changed. A society is not necessarily in danger anymore, just because their neighbors are bigger. Also, following the decleration of human rights, all men are equal and are free to do whatever they want. Of course, the founding fathers didn't think of fucking their asses right after signing the Declaration of Independence, but it is just logical, that these things apply to gay, black, whatever, people, too.

So, being progressive means just thinking about the well-being of society imho. Right now, we have the technology to diagnose STDs and the risk of getting infected is a lot lower than it used to be. Also, don't forget that (unless we're talking about rape) sex is a consensual thing. And since both partners know, as they should be at least that educated, that they're taking a risk with having a one-night-stand, I don't really see the problem with it.

The ONLY reason that society gives people with disabilites ANYTHING is because it's too expensive to kill us all. We are the only minority group who is persecuted just for existing!

Actually, as cruel as it may sound, "normal" people aren't killing handicapped ones is because today it's affordable not to. Ever heard of wheel-chairs in ancient Greece? It's all about humanity and with economical progress it has suddenly become less expensive (yes, every act of humanity is expensive, and I'm not talking about money alone). And it would definitely not be too expensive to kill all disabled people. Go to your local Walmart, check the prices on bullets and maybe a one way ticket to the cost. The amount of money which has to be used to pay nurses and hospitals in order to take care of retarded people is much higher than that.

No, the signs are often not there. Also, condoms don't protect against STDs that can be transmitted through kissing or cunnilingus (you use a dental dam, I hope). This is basic sex-ed, for crying out loud.

Because two individuals constenting to unprotected or protected sex act is different from a group of individuals constenting to beating your ass up with bike chains

Ah, but you seem to have the attitude that you don't owe any responsibility to other people. Why can't I break your kneecaps? Nobody owes anyone anything; it's a free-for-all.

When we engage in sex, we acknowledge that there is an inherent risk, but due to the transmission of diseases through drug use and promiscuity, the risk has gone up for everyone. It's several orders of magnitude larger now.

I have a suggestion for you: Simply don't have sex anymore. If it's that big a risk and you're so afraid of STDs that could be transmitted through kissing, simply shut yourself away in your basement or something.

Your argument is just retarded. As far as I know, the only fatal STDs are AIDS and Hepatitis. And since you're posting here on 4chan, chances are you're not living in a third world country, so the probability of you encountering a person with said diseases is very low in the first place. And the republican you seem to be, the chances for you simply fucking around for pleasure is very low, too.

So, if you do use a condom, don't smear the feces of an infected person all over your face, are a drug addict who is actually stupid enough to use the needles or use knives for foreplay, your risk of getting infected decreases by another big factor.

So, as we're all living in supposedly free countries, you are free to do whatever you want to. But the same thing applies to others. So if I want to go to a club, find a hot chick and fuck her until her eyeballs pop out, what's the big fucking deal?

Things weren't so bad in the hunter/gatherer days (although gathering accounted for roughly 85% of food and hunting the remaining 15%,) some archaeological evidence suggests that not only did people live to old ages (60+,) but apparently the elderly were actually cared for quite thoroughly.

We wouldn't have hunted all those ice age animals, both predators and prey, to extinction if things were so bad back then.

Complex societies such as those associated with cities and states only arose as a result of agriculture (specifically, large agricultural surpluses that allowed people to do things other than raising/searching for food,) and that was only within the last 15,000 years.

And all that was due to cooperation, right?

Yeah, since most people lived in relatively small, highly mobile family units, they had a natural loyalty to each other, plus a logical loyalty in that they can't survive alone.

And this still doesn't have anything to do with the subject this loon is talking about. Cooperation is an agreement. Just because *you* say someone's behavior is determental doesn't mean it is. This is what the religious community has done for eons. You're probably the same fucking nut that vomits up these vehement diatribe about eugenics. All this shit is fair and good in theory until YOU'RE on the recieving end of it. Then suddenly "it's not fair" and "you should be able to do whatever you want".

As far as *I'm* concerned? Personal freedoms are put above all else. Cooperation, operating in harmony with your own species, for the benefit of your species is not only completely fucking subjective but- frankly: For the animals.

We are humans. We have personal choice and loyality to no one not even ourselves. You look out for you and yours and I'll do the same.

Oh? Are you denying that promiscuity helps spread disease?

Personal freedoms are put above all else.

In short, I can knee-cap you just fine?

If you want to face the consequences (getting punched back, lawsuit, probably jail and the following social alienation), go ahead

Ah, consquences. And why do we have consequences? Why do we have a law? Why do we have alienation?

Because people are afraid of what others might do to them. Well, you probably have to decide whether to be all humane and spent millions on rehab programs or to tell people that they can fuck up their lives with drugs but then have to face the consequences... I'd vote for the second way but that's not what the majority of people think

In other words, the law was created by a majority to protect themselves from minorities?

I'm not >>68, btw. So I'm not the only one who thinks you're head damaged.

I think unprotected promiscuity helps spread disease just like I think unprotected anything spread disease. You gonna start excommunicating people for smoking, eating certain foods, not exercising enough, going outside without a coat, etc? Again: Choices.

What makes you soooooo fucking crazy in the coconut is the connection you keep trying to make between consentual protected sex and non-consentual potentially crippling violence.

Has anyone in the medical field ever referred to you as a "fuckjob"? Did an older brother powerbomb you down a flight of stairs when you were 3? Might want to check your family tree for past account of insane faggotry as well.

Yes. Read Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan. The human existence or life in general is all about violence. Look at animals, they just kill each other off, it's pure survival of the fittest. Even in  ancient civilizations it was like that. The (War-)Lord protecting their kingdom/tribe with pure violence. And within societies, it's the exact same thing as well as in todays international politics. The best thing to enforce things is still the army. This might change if states would actually give a fuck about the UN, but we're not there yet.
So in short, of course the majority would want to lead a peaceful life. But if there is a small minority who wants to be evil and gain wealth by exploiting others because it is so much easier (which would be perfectly legitimate in a state without laws), the majority would be fucked. That's the reason for the existence of laws.

You do not see the connection between "I do whatever I want cuz I wanna" and crippling someone? The question is whether a responsibility to others exists. If it doesn't, why can't I break someone's legs?

Oh yeah, just have to add this, "a state without laws" is complete bullshit, because a state only exists because of laws

The natural state of human existence is violence. By giving up part of their natural rights to a sovereign (whether that be king, parliament, or what not), they can escape this brutish state of affairs.

Hobbes wrote Leviathan after being confronted by the horrors of war. He was not arguing that violence is inevitable, but rather the purpose of social contract.

Are you daft? I just told you. There's a difference between consentual protected sex and non-consentual potentially crippling violence.

The fact that you keep doggedly trying to equate sex with violence/physical abuse means you've been sexually assualted or have grown up in an environment where sexual assualt is something that you're familar with. What's wrong? Did daddy stick it in a hole he shouldn't have and made mommmy mad? :(

Shut the fuck up already, Tucker Carlson. You fail.

Don't change these.
