I'm never getting that 2 minutes and 38 seconds of my life back.
And then leave the maintenance of the structure to society and the woman (the woman is economically screwed because American society doesn't care about single parents and the government has to enact institutions to help the two survive. What a patriot.)
Uh huh. And because the knowledge of whether or not this will happen is all on the women(geologist), she can tell the man(construction worker) that it's not good to lay the foundation.
I can just swing right back and say that the man should understand the severity of labor and parenthood.
Because he has no actual first hand feeling or view of female chemical reactions, he can never truly know the severity or the feelings that warn against sex if you don't want to have a baby.
So women should have to take responsibility to monitor their cycles, in order to make up for the fact that she isn't offering condoms to any potential partner.
It's not simply about
offering condoms, it's about making sure he wears a condom or even understanding whether or not the risk of 9 months of carrying a child is worth even having protected sex.
Of course all men aren't the same, but this is where you get some stats and support your claim about reality.
The same goes for you, but you're still going to operate on your own ratio of guys that's "hop in." But the most you're going to do is say 'guys are guys.'
Your diametrical brain thinks that by saying that women shouldn't have full responsibility just because they provide the womb, that means I suddenly want to put all the responsibility on men. I haven't said that but your weak mind inferred it.
It's the logical conclusion to your haphazard argument. You continually say that the baby is the responsibility of both sides of the equation, but at the same time, you make the female out to be some kind of victim who's inherently ignorant of her own physiology. As a result, more than simply blame, but also financial and social responsibilities are put on the man when he didn't even want it in the first place. Convincing someone that there's too much risk of pregnancy isn't as difficult as you'd like people to think.
I think people should be more abstinant. But as long as we're playing by your rules of modernist sexual sociology, simply saying, "they knew the risks," isn't enough to put responsibility on both people for the consequences of sex.
I was implying that when faced with the *fact* that so many innocents had been killed, the system should overlook it's nature if it was to keep the privilege of removing people.
You obviously ignored the previous segment on where I pointed out, and you conceeded, that no system is perfect, which is why it's reinforced instead of totally removed (as you would have us do). Your hyperbole of "so many" isn't enough to make a case against the state executing gargantuan amount of innocents. I'm sure you're gonna go for the 'one is too many' knee jerk, but beyond that you've pretty much nothing to offer in the way of "fixing" the system except for consistently cry out towards every incarnation of it that it's "not good enough."
This is like me telling a cop he has forcefully arrested and traumatized people based on hearsay, prejudice and hunches, and when I point this out he says "So you are saying I shouldn't put the bad guys in as well?". The cop would be making a strawman of my position, so did you.
No,
that is a strawman. My explanations on how the system works as well as it can doesn't even remotely resemble your slanted scenario of a cop who asks "hearsay" and operates on "prejudice and hunches." You have not proven that innocent people that have been executed were slapped in the chair based solely on bias. You've only shown that people fell through the cracks in the system. The two are not the same.
I am saying it is odd that you condone a government that has taken it's superiority for granted to the degree that it shouldn't change depending on the results of its actions. States with DP have higher crime rates ( http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?scid=12&did=169 ) but I guess the plebecite demands blood just to be on the safe side.
That's a slippery slope if I've ever heard one. You're saying that
because DP was enacted, the crime rate shot up.
Furthermore, what your statistic fails to include is the years DP was sanctioned in each respective state so as to compare the numbers from before and after its legislation. Moreover, you haven't taken into mind that particular states used DP after the murder rate got so high. Just because it doesn't drop after it's legalized, that doesn't mean it doesn't help stop criminals. It's means that crime rate grows with the expansion of the population.
Um, because a government is supposed to prtoect life - oh that's right you are a "utilitarian-libertarian".
And you have now proven yourself to be totally bias. First you take the words of the college kids over the government made a mistake in
who they killed. Now, when given a similar scenario, involving the people whom you consider smarter than law enforcement, executing convicted criminals, you're simply against them because they kill people at all.
So, despite your previous concessions of giving the government the privelege to execute as long as they do it right, you smply do not condone execution at all whether it be criminal or innocent.
Nice little loophole there. But then I have just offered support for my claim that more people suffer crime in a state with DP, so maybe the utilitarian solution doesn't require government murder?
No you haven't. All you've done is show statistics that say crime is allegedly the highest in DP states. That does not prove that crime will drop if it was removed or even that it wouldn't have been so high if DP was never enacted in the first place.
I said I believe the practice of abortion has a utilitarian effect, but that it isn't the main reason of my position. There is no dependence.
As I said, it doesn't need dependence, it only needs toleration to show how tainted your argument is.
What we have is not some imperfections that will balance out naturally. What we have is a self-righteous form of jurisprudence (and accompanying supporters) that don't believe there is a problem and take's its right over the individual for granted. No libertarian can accept such supremacy.
If this is your view, then just tell me. Don't try to bullshitme by constantly saying, "The system isn't good enough yet," when you know you'll never be happy with it. That way I can ridicule your for the correct reasons.
What are the causes of Idiocy and irresponsibility? Feminists? Socialists? Pixies?
All three in my opinion. Although, feminists are pretty good about getting their tubes tied because they know they want to have massive amounts of sex without the consequences.
"The demons are always in the best position to know the truth," i.e. they know that they're the ones who have to be the most prepared in such a situation.
Okay, perhaps treatment isn't the best, but the DP is too expensive ( http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?did=108&scid=7#financial%20facts ). So, if you are ready to make people pay for these expensive trials, why shouldn't they be able to make you pay for abortions?
Pointing out costly trials is an excellent point. However, your attempt to derail this line of convo from DP and prisoners/patients to abortion is pathetic. In any event, to address the trial issue: It's true that they cost millions, but you can't forget to factor in mental hospitals and prisons--We'll just call that
h. Multiply this by the amount of time caring for the prisoners/patients [
t]. Then take into account the amount of people who will later be convicted/admitted while the previous criminals are still being pampered [
a]. Finally, don't forget to take into account the extra resources that need to be developed to take care of the extra offenders [
r].
HxTxAxR=
X.
X will equal an exponentially greater amount of money spent on prisoners and mental patients than on trials.
First, claims on reality requires support.
Same to you. You haven't offered up a single citation that gives any substantial evidence for anything you've said aside from obvious cases that everyone knows. It's a well known fact that the Crips and Bloods started out their careers of violence based solely on territory--Their fights had nothing to do with drugs. The same goes for just about every other gang out there. You attempted to use the existence of gangs and their fights to blame the government on greed towards drugs. Not only did you not offer a shred of proof, but you also had the gaul to say that the burden of proof was on me when you're the one making the wild allegations.
Secondly my point stands; When laws are imposed on liberties (guns, drugs) then the people who use these liberties are probably going to lack morality (the law-abiding citizens stay away even though they shouldn't have to). Also, the limited market and the nature of the people in the market are going to lead to fierce competition by all means necessary.
This is more diatribe. I'm sorry if you feel harmfully addictive drugs are "liberties that shouldn't be infringed upon," but the government, and other sensible individuals realize that if everyone in the state was addicted to crack, we'd have a whole lot of problems.
Yup. Alcohol intake and influence is responsible for untold suffering and costs. Would a "utilitarian-libertarian" stand by that? MJ requires the consumption of a telephone post's worth for an OD, not to mention it has a different effect on the individual.
You're such an idiot. Have you even seen what heroin and acid do to people? Or are you one of those suburbanites who just heads into the slum every other week and doesn't bother to even look at what the stuff from the drug vendor he's buying from does to people.
Why do people turn to drugs/selling drugs in order to forget/make money?
Neither depression or poverty are any kind of excuses. Selling that stuff or using it just allows those depressed individuals the opportunity to spread their own misery.
Okay, poor argumentation semantically. Sentience/unique personality is better here.
Better, but I've already pointed out previously that a) The butterfly effect proves that even your development in the womb has a hand in the person you are now and b) Even a fetus has the barest of consciousness. "Sentience" is defined as a sense of feeling whether it be emotional or physical. The fetuses nerves are active in the womb. If they weren't, the circulation motivated by the fluids and nourishment of the mother would do jack shit to help the baby grow.
No, my flesh would be gone but *I* would not have existed at the time. Then again, *I* would never be able to have come to pass without a specific body and brain to grow in, but I would not be aware of the loss.
So what if you're "not aware?" A guy could be in a coma and have lost his memory; if you cut off his hand before he woke up and you told him he was born without a hand, that would still be monstrous. That applies here.
The fact of the matter is, your life would be taken away from you, whether it be future or present, it's still yours and no one elses.
Fringe situation. Plus, unless you are willing to change the judicial system then you can't complain.
Bullshit. This perfectly illustrates the problem with your and Anonymous'/Anti-chan's arguments. There's more than one thing a woman can choose to do with the sperm she's given. Your inability to come to terms with this fact is what proves you ignorance. Simply calling this a "fringe situation" is pathetic. Whether or not it happens very often is not the issue; the point is that it puts the entire situation into context.
Also, I believe this murder has a utilitarian effect, so as long as you can stick by DP I can now stick with abortions.
So now you've become Devil's advocate. Great.
Now, if you were only bright, you'd realize that the entire reason that murder is outlawed is because it's
anti-utilitarian.
In this case the abortions are the result of the nation's relative safety from outside attackers.
You're gonna have to clarify this statement.
Also, I doubt that fear of overpopulation is a conscious reason for their pro-abortion stance.
You can pur your doubts to rest cuz' it's true. Overpopulation has been on the French's mind for a full century, mainly because their architecture is so out of date. A lot of people think the streets are so crowded there because there are too many people. It's actually because the buildings are too close together. ;) Seriously though, the French really do discourage breeding simply because they're afraid of being piled on top of eachother.
What? Go back to fifth grade. Your failure at logic is truly breathtaking. Ok, I'll humor you: It is still the man's responsibility to consult the "geologist" woman. The sex acts that result in abortion are like- the construction worker finding a geologist, not asking her anything (to reveal resources) and building "the structure" anyway. Like I said, you continue to fail at this route of argumentation because there is simply no exuse for the man's irresponsible behavior. None whatever so ever. It's both of their responsibility and they should both be liable for any censure of the sex rights, and sex laws should effect them as well.
.....You are so stupid.
You can't even argue the analogy, so you: a) Insult it and b) Rearrange it so you wouldn't have to address what it actually asserted. The CW can't build anything without the go ahead of the Geologist unless you're trying to talk about rape, which is not what I'm doing. I also notice that you contradict your 'men are the root of all problems' diatribe by not even taking into account that the woman might have something to say (the fact that you think she doesn't mean that you think she's stupid). Of course
you don't think it's contradicting since you stated it in the form of double-standard.
Stick to repeatedly using the word "fail." That seems to be the only thing you're good at.
Like I said: Abortion is allowable up until the point where the fetus can be declared sentient.
As for "not viewing those I disagree with as people", you'll have to find another route of attack- it's just not true.
Not two posts ago, you just said that
no one thinks the fetus is alive--Which is utter bullshit. You either think everyone who disagrees with you is stupid or just not actual people.
BTW: Calling me "stupid" is a personal attack. Not that I'm complaining, it's just you've been bitching about people calling you a fucktard this whole time, just thought you should know it goes both ways, friend. :)
You must have mistaken for another Anonymous. I don't give shit if you call me "fucktard" or even if you call me a "ham and cheese sandwich."
Again:
1. Proof that "Selective birth is exactly why France is in "such bad shape" is needed. ('just look at it!' isn't empircal evidence)
Neither is simply saying, "No proof will convince you," in response to me telling you to pull up citations for your contention that fetuses don't qualify as living sentience.
2. Proof that "France can't fight a war" is needed.
.....You're kidding right?
3. Proof that "the ability to wage war" is something a "successful soceity" needs, is needed.
Please note all the quotations because they denote the subjectivity of the phrases used.
Wow.
First of all: "
Wage war" is not a direct quote. I said they couldn't "
fight" a war. Those are not necessarily the same things.
Secondly, I never said these things were proof. I said that they were emperically evident. I'll back this up much more thoroughly as soon as you feel like actualy arguing your position with real citations because the most you've done so far is splooge out vitriolic insults, hearsay, sweeping denunciation, and the word "fail." Not to mention that whenever I
do ask for you to back yourself up, you say, "It's useless trying to convince you." If that's the case, then stop conversing with me you asshat.
Finally, trying to reason against self-defense is ridiculous. If a country wants to survive whilst surrounded by others, it damn well better have contingencies. Do you really think countries live peacefully because they say to other governments that they don't want to fight?
