  96. +spracketskooch Calling a fetus is too callous? That's an emotional response. The technical interaction between a fetus and the mother is a parasitic relationship. That's just the way it is. I do realize I'm divorcing the concept of procreation from sex. But sex doesn't necessarily have to lead to procreation. Procreation is the act of the uterus hosting an embryo. If you were to say "but the women had sex by choice so she should face the consequences". The argument is sex doesn't always lead to pregnancy. There is only a chance of pregnancy when you have sex. It's like if you know a street is dangerous, chances are if you walk down that street at night you would get robbed and murdered or raped. But if someone did choose to walk down that street knowing the dangers, and if someone did come up to that person to attack them, would that person lose the right to self defense? It's the fetus that attacks the host, just like its the criminal that attacks the person walking down that street. As for the degree of threat posed by the fetus. A pregnancy doesn't have to be life threatening that is true. But a pregnancy have the chance of becoming life threatening. A pregnancy is also 100% of the time damaging to the health of the mother. So some are damaging your health constantly, would you not have the right to remove that threat to your health? That is the basis of self defense, it is to remove a threat to your person by the least amount of force possible. By least amount of force means if it's possible to have an abortion and still keep the fetus alive, we should do that. But if it's not possible, then the rights of the host to self defense takes precedence over the fetus.

  135. +Sean Thomson The magna carta is about individual rights, its about what a king may, or may not do to a subject. The regressive left believes in group rights not individual rights. The regressive left is perfectly happy to use the state to crush individual rights. So no the regressive left don't support the magna carta. And you are correct about western culture and philosophy, at least what can be considered the modern west is based on liberalism. On the difference between what separates a libertarian and a classical liberal. I have already told you, libertarians have a disdain for government, while liberals love government, they want to improve it. Hence the transition from monarchy to a democracy. A libertarian would like to opt out of government, they believe taxation is theft, while a liberal does not. A libertarian believes you are born with certain rights. A liberal position is that your rights are given to you by a government. That is why they forced king John to sign the magna carta, guaranteeing those rights. I have watched Sargon's debate with libertarians on the issue of rights, Sargon intuitively understands this, but he couldn't quiet spell it out, to put it in those words. That's why Sargon have so much trouble distinguishing himself with librarians. I believe that inability to think of rights as given to you by the government is a relic and hold back from a religious backgrounds for most of the western liberals. Most of those early liberals are christians after all. They think of rights as something god given, but in reality rights are given to you by the state, or society at large.

  147. +Mithridate You are still getting confused on what she said. She is for psychiatry (the use of drugs) but singles out the medical doctors that over prescribe drugs. But in general she is ok with psychiatry. She said she is all for the drugs. Oh and yes I did misheard her she doesn't seem to have a problem with psychologists. But my point still stands, she is all for drug interventions. She advocates for surgery over talking, that is the dangerous. Here is an example of her being deceptive. "There is something really important for straight people to understand, no one has regret." And then in the very next sentence "the number of people that have regret is miniscule" Is the number of people who have regret miniscule? Or no one have regret? There is a contradiction right there. "B if they have regret they can change back." - That is a lie you can not change back. "change back you can't grow, a penis, well so what" She thinks having a penis is no big deal, well I'm going to tell you right now a penis is the most important organ to a man. As for abandoning her family. A man does not abandon one's family That is a societal expectation for a man. But she doesn't want to be a man anymore. I guess she can't handle the responsibility of being a man. She did abandon her family, by not wanting to be a man. The family didn't abandon her, because you can't expect any wife to stay with someone when they decided to be a different person. It's his choice to stop being a man so he abandoned his family.

  245. +mytmouse57 Would you like to live in pakistan? Do you know what kind of a shit hole pakistan is? Why are more people from pakistan wanting to immigrate to the west than the other way around? You don't believe the majority of the world are shit holes that's because you have never been there. I have have, I traveled I have seen. I doubt you have, or else you wouldn't make that ridicules statement. Islam is a horrible religion not only because those people that practice it. Its a horrible religion because its doctrines its text are horrible. With its horrible text as a basis, the people who practices it in a horrible way. That's is the fundamentals if islam. You are in the camp that thinks the west is responsible for all the world's ills. Here is a few examples that run contradictory to that notion. China is a horrible place in the past, because of communism. Now Hong Kong is a better place because it was a British colony, it practices western values, and its more prosperous because of it. Now the rest of china have become better because the chinese government have abandoned communism and embraced western values. The same goes for the middle east, most of that place is a shit hole. There are a few gems that shiny in the region relatively. Israel practices western values, and it is prosperous. Dubai is prosperous, because it some what embraces western values, because it needs to do business with the west. When ever western civilization touches something, the people in that region become more prosperous. You would know that if you traveled. I can say for certain that you haven't traveled because you hold those ignorant views.

  302. +Sean Thomson I don't think Locke is against a progressive tax system. And Locke's idea of right to life, right to liberty and right to one's own property just means the government can't come and kill you for no reason. The government can't come and lock you up for no reason, and the government can't come and take your property for no reason. He wasn't talking about taxes. Now lets go back to the time of magna carta, even back then the barons who forced king John to sign the magna carta pay a lot more in taxes than the peasants. Back then only the land owners pay taxes, your average serfs don't even pay taxes. You can say that's a progressive tax system when poor's tax rates were 0. The progressive tax system was done for practical reasons, you can't ask the poor to pay when they have no money. If you ask the poor to pay the same rate as the rich they were starve to death, and that's the government depriving the poor's right to life. Another reason for the progressive tax system and for having wealthfare is that so the poor don't revolt. You can see it as protection money to the poor, there will always be more poor than rich, if you don't pay them, they are going to want communism. Or you can see it as the government's way of giving every citizen their right to life. Now the regressives they might say they respect the magna carta the same way they say they are for free speech. Its just lip service, in action don't don't respect the magna carta, they are perfectly happy to take away a man's freedom for saying the wrong things, or take their property in the form of a fine for saying the wrong things. You got feminists who says we should do away with the concept of innocent until proven guilty in rape cases, take away the right to a trial. That's against the spirit of magna carta and the very letter of it. Applying a progressive tax system is not the same as applying an asymmetrical economics to different groups. When you are in a group that the progressive deem, for example you are black, you can't not be unblacked, when you are white, you can not be unwhite. When you are rich you can be poor, so when you become poor, you pay less. When you are poor, you can also be rich, when you are rich you pay more. Its taxes according to means. Its not like the system saying oh you are a aristocrat, we are going to tax aristocrats at this rate, and you are a peasant, we tax peasants at this rate. Having more money or less money doesn't make you belong to a group. As for libertarian. I don't really know what libertarianism means. I can only go by what those people who claim to be libertarians tell me what they believe. What I describe of libertarians are what I see. No one can tell me definitively what a true libertarian is. But the libertarians that I know are not classical liberals in the sense that liberals want government, they want to improve it. While those people don't seem to want any form of government, or at the very least grudgingly accepts a very small government.

  463. +Brendan Coulter ofcouse those car salesmen don't like being lied to. But they expect it and accept it, every car salesmen when buying a car themselves knows the other guy is lying to them. They accept it. You are arguing for those that cheat the rules. There will always be people who cheat the golden rule, just like there are christian that don't follow the 10 commandments. That means nothing. It doesn't mean that the golden rule is subjective. "There is literally nothing objective about the golden rule in and of its self." That statement just doesn't make sense. You are gonna have to define what objective means to you. Objective as anyone would understand it is that its a set of rules that is well defined, and are not open to interpretation. If you don't like being lied to, don't lie to others. If you don't like being cheated, don't cheat others. Its very objective, there is nothing subjective about it. The golden rules is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." How is Stalin following those rules in any kind of scale? Stalin lives in luxury while his people live in poverty. We can objectively say, Stalin is not following the golden rule. Yes a man can be brutally honest, and in return he should expect others to be brutally honest with him. if he can dish it out but can't take it, then he is not following the golden rule. The golden rule stands on its own, its not flexible at all. I have no idea where you are getting this flexibility from. Perhaps from your own inability to follow the golden rule?
