Iowa is thinking of the children.

Once again, evolution is a fact, gender politics is a consensus of OPINION.

Exactly. Thank you for acknowledging that you're wrong.

Of course "gay tolerance has a 00000000000.01% chance of causing a hetero to experiment with sucking a dick and regretting it, and this will of course cause the Christian God to flip his lid, and eat the planet like Unicron" is not an opinion.
And definitely not an opinion held by anyone in the movement that's ginning up UA's faux-outrage.
Nope. not at all.
Totally secular and scientific through and through, top to bottom.

In what specific way?

Oh, that's okay, you don't need apologize for anything specifically. It's okay to be wrong sometimes.

This is a bullshit argument no matter what.

We spend time in schools teaching kids how to play games because it helps them to be a part of the community. We give them lessons on singing and various instruments, because they might want to do it and need to know about these entertainment things like arts and music. We teach children about works of fiction that are relevant in literature. We teach them about fairy tyales people believe including christianity, islam, and judaism because these beliefs are huge in our world and influence a lot of activity.

If we teach all of these things, andf we spend time on gender roles like girls wear skirts, dressers, and are wives then we should teach that GLBT exist just because they are a part of our world and community and we school, our children beyond what some internet dipshit has any right or reason to be challenging.

If you want your kid to live on UA island then you have every need to put them in that bubble and abuse them like that. The wortld does not cater to the bullshit of UA island, and as soon as you send your kid into the world they need to know what the world is about.

UA has no legitimate argument against teaching children that gays and trans people exist, and neither does any person trying to live within the mixed community. It is not your right in any way shape or form to not be presented with different people, or even to go through life ever seeing something you dislike and that contradicts the fantasy world of UA or repug island.

Stop trying to legitmize their ideas by presenting them as a valid argument. There is only one option for UA and that is to GTFO of the real world because it does not conform to his fantasy UA island. The hole is over there, and seal it up after you get in if you cannot deal with the rest of us. Otherwise the toddlers need to quit their bitching and be told tough shit, man the fuck up, and quit your whining.

Why is it that those here who create fantasy worlds for themselves create absolute shit fantasy worlds? In my narcissism-fueled fantasy world that I expect everyone to conform to, everyone is reasonable and they treat each other with respect.

Everyone? even child molesters? I can tell you there are a lot of child molesters who sound very reasonable who you should not respect. When you talk about actual grooming child molesters, there are many who try to use reason to turn the child against their loved ones and bring the child to them. It would be a better strategy to keep the child wanting to be with you and keep your secrets than forcing them to.

I am just sayin there are certain types you just have to have no respect for their reason. The chomos are not the only ones in that category either.

In my fantasy world, anyone who feels a compulsion to harm others would seek treatment for said compulsion, and said treatments would be available.

OK, but what if the treatment is something painfukl or surgical like castration or chemical castration?

reasonable has it's limits too

Nothing I do harms anyone. To claim otherwise requires proof.

In other words, you're talking out of your ass. Goodbye.

Correct.

I describe child molestation as "a compulsion to harm others," and you get defensive and insist you're not harming anyone?

What the fuck?

Randians think passivity absolves them. They really hate that last episode of Seinfeld.
I'm guessing if CP showed up on UA's porn site, he doesn't hit the flag button, cuz that would be being a snitch.

I'm going to give UA the benefit of the doubt here and suggest what happened is he got triggered when he saw the word "harm" and completely ignored the rest of the post, because he's done things like that before.

I would say unreasonably harms anyone given what you have said about yourself. We all harm people in our lives through survival and existence, but it is unreasonable to expect people to hide or alter themselves to stop another from being "disgusted" even if they feel harmed by the sight.

The trolley problem except there is a button that will shunt the trolley onto a third track that harms noone, but you will need to put a dollar in to use it.

If you refuse and let the scenario play out, did you harm the people involved?

I don't see where you said anything about child molestation before that.

*edit* Oh, it was a Tererun post. Yeah I don't read those.

Good. I was really hoping that wasn't what it looked like.

Louisiana lawmakers vote to remove lunch breaks for child workers, cut unemployment benefits


https://www.nola.com/news/politics/...cle_ef234692-fd9e-11ee-99f5-771c7366107a.html

First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsors the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said people have been too critical of his bill.

“The wording is ‘we’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he says. "These are young adults.”​

Um, the protections he wants to remove only apply to workers under 18.

Someone should probably check out his search history.

NOT IT!

In medieval/feudal times, you were an adult at 13-14.
Course, average lifespan was 35-45.
Repugs obviously want feudal times back.
For both the pedophilia, and the accelerated die-off of the working class.

Cheer up. Killing off workers means YOU'LL be safe.

What makes you think he’s in danger now?
