  26.  @parillascrambler8492  yeah, annoys me that they always pick the person that is homeless for the most obvious reasons. A few years back I met a man while waiting at the bus stop to go to work, he was homeless from a divorce trying to make it down to his kids in florida. They were also pretty poor so they couldn't help him financially. One day while we were sitting chatting while I waited for the bus someone stopped in their car and gave him a bunch of coupons for free meals at a local fast food joint. This man tried to hand me half of them while I had a home and food on my shelves. Of course I refused. But you really don't know why someone is homeless until you talk to them. In my hometown of lake Orion there is a homeless War veteran. Been that way for many many years. He goes somewhere in the winter, chooses to be homeless because of mental health issues that are going untreated. There are people who are homeless because of bad family situations. People who are homeless because they trusted the wrong people to rent from. Had me and another girl who rented a room from her, fired and then at 11:00 p.m. that night told us we needed to be out by the weekend. Which isn't even legal but we weren't going to stick around and put up with her and her alcohol addicted baby daddy. I paid for a campsite for 2 weeks and lived in a tent. Then I lived in my mom's camper in her backyard for 2 months before getting the apartment I've now lived in for 3 years. Homelessness can happen to anyone at any time. You need to remember that you are far closer to being homeless than you will ever be to being rich like the people who add nothing to society, and only profit off your hard work.

  37.  @liambyrne5285  you're not understanding reality and logic. A preborn baby, otherwise known as a human fetus, is alive and it is a person but it's not a sentient person. There is no thoughts or feelings going on. Incidentally it already has all the same rights as any other living person. No living person can take anything from someone else no matter how badly they need it to survive, no matter if that person they're taking it from is the reason they need that thing to survive. Let's say someone gets drunk and crashes into you with their car and you need a lot of blood to survive. Even if they were a perfect match and they were the reason you need it, they're not obligated to give you blood. No one can make them. Equally no one can make a pregnant woman carry a pregnancy she doesn't want to, it's just as immoral is forcing blood donations or organ donations. Even more compelling to my argument is that you're not allowed to take organs from a corpse no matter how many lives it would save, unless that person gave permission when they were alive. If you can't even take organs from a dead person's body without their permission in life to save countless people, then what right does a fetus have to take from a woman? How do you not see that saying a woman can't have an abortion if she doesn't want to be pregnant, is saying that she has less rights to her body than a corpse has and a fetus has more rights to her body than any born person does? To recap; a fetus cannot use a woman's body without her permission just like any other born person can't. And a woman should have more rights to her body than a corpse does.

  102.  @radscorpion8  why would you ignore the part of my analogy that makes the person responsible? The car crash. If you're going about your life and no one hurts you it's just a freak accident, then yes no one is at fault for your injury. But if someone does something that is clearly dangerous (like drunk driving) and has clear possible outcomes (a crash) and they crash into you, hurting you, they are just as responsible for your injuries and now your life as two people who had sex and are now with child. It is literally the same. Someone made a decision that affected someone else. That someone else is now dependent on the person who made the decision. Now as a society humans have already decided that in the car crash scenario, even though there is a clear perpetrator, that perpetrator is not responsible for saving the other person's life. If life is so precious that we are going to force women to be pregnant when they don't want to be, how can we argue that people aren't obligated to fix what they broke? If you caused someone kidney failure, following the logic of "pro-lifers" you should be forced to give them a kidney. If you cause someone to lose a lot of blood, by the logic of pro-lifers, you should be forced to be the one to replace it. By their logic the person who creates the need must fulfill it. They have zero interest in actually saving human lives, because if they did they would have put their money where their mouth was a long time ago and created artificial wombs. If they had this discussion wouldn't even need to exist because people who didn't want to be pregnant wouldn't have to be pregnant and everybody who wants a newborn baby and can't have one can get what they want. But now let's all sit here and argue over it instead and never accomplish anything.

  186.  @hoghs1  you actually think that the people who own the businesses in this world are smarter and more motivated than the rest of us? Honey they were born to Rich families they could be dumber than a box of rocks and it wouldn't matter because Mommy and Daddy pay their way through school and then get them jobs with their buddies. You really don't understand the reality you live in. All capitalism does is make sure that a bunch of Rich fools keep all their money while the rest of us hard working individuals get poorer and poorer. And no they aren't the reason there's food on my table, poor people in other countries are the reason there's food on my table. And yours too. Poor people the ones who actually do all the labor, they're the ones that make the world go round. You would have nothing if it weren't for the poor people you wouldn't have technology you wouldn't have cars you wouldn't have roads you wouldn't have buildings you would have literally nothing. Rich people don't work they stand around and basically get in the way. We could all have so much more and life could be so much more efficient if it weren't for them. They aren't smarter they keep things running as dumb as possible. It's thanks to capitalism that are highways and roads are still s***. Made using old techniques that have been proven time and time again to be absolutely the worst. There are types of roads that absorb water and are actually long-lasting in places that see a lot of rain. There are plenty of places in North America where roads like that would save the states millions and billions of dollars per year in road repair, but yet it's not used in a single place in the USA. Why? There are a type of rolling barrier for freeways that lesson the severity of car accidents. But we don't use them. Even playing luggage. I'm trying to go on vacation and I need a luggage that fits in the carry-on spot, but no matter where I look half of the ones marketed as a carry-on bag are too big for the compartment. Why make all these carry-on bags that can't be used as carry on? Capitalism isn't intelligent and it isn't making your life better and it doesn't work.
