Fulchrum posted:Believe me, the article itself is worse. Well I kind of figured he'd use the "Sell your cloak and buy a sword" verse, yeah, that's the one verse that people who don't understand what Jesus was saying try to use as evidence that Jesus wants you to buy all the guns. This comment, though: quote:If God preferred that his children refrain from buying, selling, owning, or transferring weapons, why is there not one verse in the entire canon of Christian scripture setting out such counsel? Well, I have to give him credit for that one. Jesus did definitely oppose using weapons when he admonished Peter after striking a priest with the sword, and said he who lives by the sword will die by the sword, but he didn't say anything about buying, selling, owning, or transferring them. Just using them. I guess that makes the author of that article technically correct.

Who's ready for their second helping? Liberal Logic 101! - Revenge of the Fallen and Can't Get Up!  How DARE Democrats do things the public unanimously supports when told about them objectively and without us being allowed to poison the idea?!  Much like how you would hire an arsonist to put out your fires.  How dare he call voters stupid? Now back to calling anyone who ever voptes in their self interest uninformed and too stupid to vote.  Research? I think you mean NEFARIOUS PLOT TO PERSECUTE CHRISTIANS!  People pointing out that they've been systemically disadvantaged and that I am blind to my own privilidge is so unfaaaair - a person who thinks thats an argument.   \And of course you've made sure to demand that ever single christian judge recuse themselves from these cases, right?  \Obama: I represent the American people, and will act without congressional approval if I have to Lincoln: I represent the American people, and will act without congressional approval if I have to. Yeah, Lincoln, that sure is telling Obama. The gently caress?  Like for instance, the Muslim call to prayer. I'm sure Conservatives are all for that prayer at all times.  'Pissed off MRA shitheads want to ban feminism. Clearly, this shows how bad Feminism is'  Yes, because anything that donates to charity automatically makes up for all other forms of shitheadery. Which is why the KKK is a positive group since they donate to charity.  Stop forcing cultural values upon women, you say? But what about all these women we've forced cultural values upon? aha, didn't think of that, did you?  Clarifying a law? Making it more thorough? Clearly this is evil. Its not like thiose things must be added to stop Republican shitheels from deliberately misinterpretting a law.  Republicans being intolerant and censoring free speech. Clearly this is a story that will help us and make us look good - A Republican.  \Yeah, you know, that bit about how corpses have the right to bear arms?  Correct, most women who use planned parenthood are living in poverty and can't afford to have a baby. Republicans could fix this by increasing welfare payment to single mothers. Or they could take the path that would allow them to hurt women and not stop abortions.  You say that its cause Republicans are racist? Oh-ho, but the exit polls show that its cause Republicans are racist! What do you say now?  There is no gently caress you big enough. And yeah, men totally have no self esteem issues now, thats why there totally isn't a huge pity party circle jerk straight white men have organised for themselves.  Oh no. The things I worried about came true in the most utterly inconsequential ways! Thats the worst kind!  Wow. Seriously? Usually they'll at least attribute this to an African American to mask how racist they are. Here its just straight up quoting a white old racist man.

"I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people." I think it's unsurprising that a catholic who thinks suffering is good for the soul would be against aborting unwanted children, they should also be the last person you want to listen to.

Ironically an arsonist can be helpful in preventing certain kinds of fires - either through controlled burns (which keep underbrush and other material from building to dangerous levels) or simply identifying targets and paths of possible burns. I agree with your sentiment, Fulchrum - our entire political system (including lobbyists and corporate cronies) needs occasional purging by fire. Literal fire. Fulchrum posted:
You have to understand, their position isn't based on logic, just on their hatred for Obama. Fulchrum posted:
I would actually be interested in the legal justification the police are operating under in this case, as 4th Amendment protections should apply to the property - after death it would belong to someone in accordance with the previous owner's will and that person should have rights which may be violated in this instance. It's no different than the police seizing your Grandpa's old Bel Air after he passes on. Edit: I searched around a bit, there is a lot of 'Faux Newz' noise clouding the issue, but apparently under New York law after someone with a pistol permit dies the estate/family has 15 days to dispose (destroy, sell or transport out of state I'd assume) of the permitted firearms OR turn them over to police for 'safe-keeping' for two years. (Where I naturally assume the police will conspire to steal them.) Naturally this brings up the central problem of police in that they negatively affect the economically disadvantaged who may not have savvy lawyers to help them protect their rights and property in times of crisis, and apparently according to scattered, not-very-reliable reports the cops like to show up sans warrant and just seize all the guns on the property (naturally glossing over or failing to mention the timelines or rights of the people under this law, thin as they are) while everyone is still in the ashes-and-sackcloth phase. Apparently legal challenges to these provisions are brewing. Fulchrum posted:

MShadowy posted:Yeah, sadly, this. Actually, a couple of them are more than slightly misogynistic; I'm not really sure how to deal with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method don't rant; ask pointed questions about why they have those opinions, going for logical consistency, "Why do you think women often cross the street when walking alone at night when they see a strange man? Why do you think women are often gain custody of children in divorce? Is it because the duty of child care often defaults to women? Are you sure that there are no media which depict men positively?" Just ask questions and you'll back them into a corner. They'll probably initially get pissed because they feel trapped, but that when the thinking starts.

rkajdi posted:This is exactly what I'm getting at. A child should be a decent thing to have, but in the current climate you're insane to plan one unless you're a 1%er. Worst part is that as I stated earlier, what is the net result if you dodge through everything and get the kid to adulthood without killing yourself in the process? The labor market is going to become more slack as time goes on, not less. Not only does that say on average that your kid will be a bad place, him existing makes the labor situation worse for everyone else, since that's one more person who needs a job to survive, while also providing the labor slack that allows employers to keep wages criminally low. Where are you living that things are this bad? It's not 2010 anymore, things have been looking up economically for a while now. Plenty of my middle-class friends have been starting their families and having first or second kids.

Some of those "female privilege" things would be more accurate with an addendum along the lines of, "Unless of course the police totally ignore you, which they often do." Also, it's not like dudes don't laugh at prison rape jokes. But MRAs and their ilk don't seem to actually give a poo poo about the treatment of men in prison.

This is something that there is a feminist solution to: end the stereotypes that women lack the agency to commit crimes and that men uniquely have the ability to be violent brutes or criminal schemers. It is also something that there is a leftist solution to: prison reform, legal reform, and an end to poverty and discriminatory policing against poor communities and men of color. MRAs as a whole don't seem to give a poo poo though, unless the man is arrested for domestic violence or rape, in which case they are very quick to come out with cries of "what about the false reports".

Plenty of my middle-class friends have been starting their families and having first or second kids. I'm living in the US, where we learned nothing from the last crash and are well on our way to another economic downturn/crisis when we gently caress with the federal budget or debt ceiling in the near future. To say nothing of the continued automation of jobs that's been eating at the middle and lower-middle classes. We still have a huge amount of under and unemployed people, we can't even get a decade going without an economic downturn, and these aren't even recent phenomenon. Having kids means an 18+ year bet that the economy isn't going to hose you too badly during that period. I'm still saying taking that bet with our reduced or non-existent social safety net seems like all risk with no reward for the average middle class person right now. I understand lots of people started to make families again, but lots of people in the middle class bought over-leveraged mortgages going into the housing crisis too. From an economic standpoint, having a kid right now is paying for the privilege of screwing over later generations of workers. People do it for other reasons (society pressure/biology/religion) but that doesn't make it the rational decision.
