  9. +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.

  15. +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.

  45. +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.
