don't express affection in public, don't "shove it in my face", don't say gay acknowledge homosexuality




Correct. Homosexuality is fundamentally anti-social and anti-civilizational in a lot of ways. Merely being allowed to not be killed over it is a huge ask.


When you inevitable complain that homosexuality isn't anti-civilizational, consider that a civilization of homosexuals isn't possible. It will be gone within a human lifetime. Only a civilization that encourages self-reproduction is possible over timelines longer than a few decades.

They absolutely had a choice. They made the choice to be gay, and not just homosexual, and that was a political act of their own free will.

I don't believe for a second that giving weapons to Ukraine is saving Ukrainian lives. Especially now that it's apparently devolved into a static almost trench warfare situation. Every weapon given to them prolongs the conflict by X amount, and certainly results in some amount of casualties during that interval.

Not everyone is sane, not everyone clicks the option they mean to click, not everyone is literate, and so on. It is, for all intents and purposes, guaranteed that "everyone can simply choose to live" is wrong.




The premise nowhere states that people will not have what is going on explained, or only explained via text, or have the choice made via mouse click. You are introducing new premises from thin air to aid your bad arguments.


In summary, this is a bad faith argument.

I don't feel like it's possible to obtain a good understanding of the situation from OSINT sources. Therefore my stance has been, and remains, that Russia started a war of expansion, but was egged on to it by western provocations and/or stupidity. No one looks good here.

Dollars to donuts, if we'd given the Ukrainians our entire arsenal the week the war started the current situation would not be different by more than 10%.


Please do not put words in my mouth - Russia is not the good guy. Ukraine is not the good guy. They're both essentially shitholes except now one is being propped up with my tax dollars for some reason. I would never choose to live in either.


As much as the war has eroded Russian credibility, it's eroded US and NATO credibility. We put sanctions on Russia and... well that doesn't seem to have collapsed their economy as promised, does it. We fed Ukraine all this training and money and materiel for a massive summer offensive and... basically nothing was accomplished.


Now BRICS countries have a wedge to build a non-Dollar denominated global trade system. Now we've shown China that THE ENTIRETY OF NATO, US INCLUDED, can't produce enough munitions to match Russia in a large regional war. What exactly have we gained here? How are we going to gain? I don't see how Ukraine even gets back to status quo antebellum without NATO boots on the ground and planes in the sky. And then we're in a shooting war with a nuclear weapons state, which is terrible enough that I will fight to avoid it at all costs. AND FOR WHAT? FOR WHAT? Some Eastern European mudhole?

I don’t think anyone supposes that Putin is a benevolent leader.


I don’t see Ukraine being particularly worse under Russian suzerainty than under some other conditions. It’s never going to be paradise.

Reagan failed to roll back any of the 'civil rights' era disasters in any significant way. At a minimum, he should have been able to end with a period all of Johnson's "Great Society" nonsense, and destroy the entire 'civil rights' apparatus that had been built. Instead we got modest tax cuts and huge military spending.

Civil rights destroyed the right of free association in the USA. That's the largest point. Further, it enshrined the concept of disparate impact. Does your policy coincidentally have an impact on blacks? Well then you're racist and your policy is illegal. No, you can't prove that it's not racism but simple differences between different groups. No longer can you just hire the smartest person for the job (Griggs v Duke Power). So everyone needs a Bachelor's degree to prove that they're smart and conscientious when a simple intelligence test would do. And on, and on.

Well that's a silly way to look at it: in the long term, almost every woman (and man's) worth is in their offspring, their children. Only few exceptional people will have another, greater, impact on the world than their children.

The whole of the civil rights era was a disaster that broadly lead us to where we are today. The apparatus I'm referring to are the Justice Departments various offices that investigate and prosecute civil rights crap, the NGOs that feed them, etc.

See, here is where ethnicity matters.




Why?




That number drops to 0-2% when looking at the continent of Asia.




So? The Church holds that a non-Christian who has sincerely sought God and lived a good life, and just did not hear the Good Word may still be saved.


Adding to the fact that half of all the humans who ever were lived before Christ, and so may have been reached during the harrowing of Hell...




It is awfully convenient to have your truth be unfalsiable.




We didn't speak on unfalsifiability. Only that rejection by moderns doesn't falsify it.

This is amusing given Israel’s demographic future is economically catastrophic (shrinking populations are bad, but producing vastly more welfare recipients is perhaps even worse),




Perhaps, but what happens when you can't afford to provide for those welfare recipients? They cease to be welfare recipients. And in that case they are again a national resource, whereas a future where they instead don't exist that resource is not there to be tapped.

Also, do not use reddit/rdrama euphemisms like "the trains." Speak clearly (and you can feel how you feel about trans people, but you cannot use generalized pejoratives directed in a way that includes other posters here).




Let's be fair, "trains" is a necessary circumlocution on most platforms, and therefore not necessarily a pejorative - just a circumlocution.

Well… to establish my bonafides I’m a Linux user personally and professionally, but there are some very obvious reasons to use iPhone over Android. One is quality. There’s simply no comparison in build quality from basically any android phone to an iPhone. Second is updates. My iPhone will get quick software updates years and years past the end of (slow and unpredictable) support for most android phones. Third is usability. iPhones are much more usable than any Android I’ve had out of the box. Apple Pay is great. iMessage is great, the camera is great.


I understand the desire to tinker on your devices, I truly do, but the iPhone is superior on basically every metric except tinkering, which means it’s better for almost everyone.

I've followed the guy on Twitter - I could not care less about this, and Breitbart should be shamed and cast out of the right wing media for this outrageous use of left-wing boogeymen to attack a solid rightist.
