OF THE
TIMES
"They don't want *fewer* people, They just want *newer* people, Ones who haven't seen all their dirty tricks."Maybe. I happen to think that leftists are snobs (aka elitists) and don't like people not a pure as them, you know...
people of color and those of limited financial meansWhich is why something like 40% of abortions happen in communities of those types.
Jennztina Maybe. I happen to think that leftists are snobs (aka elitists) and don't like people not a pure as them, you know...I agree 1,000%. This is precisely their makeup. I have had 100's of friends and acquaintances from the 'left' and they are this way. The instant contempt they display for anyone showing an interest in reading, learning, God, knowing anything about history - triggers their fragile, know nothing, milquetoast style. These people know nothing about geopolitics, history, medicine, science but LOVE to front as if they do. It is a breeding ground for narcissism, and it shows.
There never was a Constitutional right to abortion.Correct. But there is a God-given right to self-determination.
Jennztina You seem to not understand that I'm not talking about abortion per se. I'm talking about intrinsic, unalienable, God-given rights.This is an important self evident thing.
The right to self-ownership. The right to be free of coercive interference in one's life.
What's wrong with the end of humanity?Nothing. Never said there was anything wrong with it. Do you know the meaning of the word chauvinist ?
You say yourself that it is inevitable,No, I didn't. I said the human project will eventually end here . I call it a project because humans aren't in charge of it. It's a project above and beyond the grasp of human consciousness, including my own.
yet you somehow need it to be my fault just because I admit that it's an ideal.outcome?I need no such thing. Why do you interpret my few and clearly written words in such a distorted way?
Ok that's fine, I'll take credit for humanity's inevitable self-inflicted extinction. People pretend everything else is my fault, it'll be nice to finally get blamed for something good. Yay. Now I am become Kali Yuga, Destroyer Of Worlds.Why would you want to do that? Apparently, you don't understand Kali, the Yugas, or what Destroyer of Worlds means (few do). If you think you can take on the role of Kali and destroy demons - that's what she did according the myth - you might want to reconsider. Taking on that kind of karma, even in jest, can be devastating. Kali doesn't play around, but also she doesn't destroy worlds.
I don't mind. You guys always want to remind me that the end of the world means no more humans, as if that's something I somehow failed to think about; in fact, it's all I think about. It's my sunny daydream.Typical narcissistic position. I'm not saying you're a narcissist, but that's the position: I don't like the world because it's full of a-holes, so I'd rather just nuke it. That's abdication. WE have a responsibility for compassion, even when it hurts. That's how WE grow, by suffering the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" in order to learn to be better servants to our fellow beings. How about a little Ghandi instead: "Be the change you want to see in the world." You want everybody to hold fantisies of species-cide? OK. You do you.
You have your cope,I don't have any such thing,
telling yourself people are somehow good;...and I don't do any such thing.
and I have mine, recognizing how evil people really are and rejoicing in the knowledge of their inevitable non-existence.People are neither good nor evil. Ascending or descending maybe, but that's just ebb and flow of the tides in the ocean of consciousness. I don't think demons are evil. They're just demons who don't know they're demons. Same goes with angels. It's simply their nature in the spectrum of consciousness. And sorry to inform you, but non-existence is an ontological impossibility. Whatever humans are, the consciousness that supports them will never not exist. Thus, the human project is eternal even if not eternally manifest in each pulse of creation.
I admit I forgot how much I love Russia & I was not prepared for how much it hurts to see them attacked, so I still.pray for them, but I honestly think any lingering human emotions on my part are just hormonal symptoms of menopause, and will fade shortly.Ask Arjuna who is attacking whom. Humans? Hardly. The real jihad is internal.
Kali Yuga takes no prisoners; she takes *everything* and leaves behind only the endless peace of Nothingness.Kali (the Goddess) takes no prisoners, and yet, Kali Yuga (the Age) is a prison of consciousness. BTW, Kali Yuga doesn't have as much to do with Kali as people think. It mostly has to do with the balance of the three gunas: tama, raja and satta guna, (there's not really good English equivalents for those, but laziness, ambition, and calmness are decent approximations as it pertains to human behavior). Kali takes nothing away except ignorance, to which humans cling, so it hurts even though it's liberating. It's Shiva who is supposed to preside over the dissolution of the Cosmos...over and over and over.
reproductive freedom / reproductive rights / reproductive servicesGarland uses the word "reproductive" a lot considering he is actually talking about preventing reproduction
Does that make sense to you both codis and sidoc?So far, yes
Such high odds of not even being born does not equate with terms such as "freedom", "equality" or "equity"You are surely a misogynist, aren't you ?
When we are allowed to put down our elder relatives for the convenience of them not impacting on our lifestyles, ...Well, let's put them in nursing homes so we don't have to deal with them.
... then I'll discuss whether woman should be allowed to abortionsI was sure you would recognize the sarcasm on my side
When we are allowed to put down our elder relatives for the convenience of them not impacting on our lifestyles, then I'll discuss whether woman should be allowed to abortionsI'm not in favor of abortions, but neither do I think that government - whether federal or state - has any authority here. Bottom line: People are making a moral decision, and you can't legislate morality. When the baby is able to exist independently, then society has a stake in its existence. Government does have an express responsibility to defend its citizen's right to life. So murder of elders qualifies. Carrying through with a pregnancy doesn't.
HashAttack2 Abortion is great if you want to reduce the black or poor populations.So there you have a clue as to the way that society can reduce the chance that people will opt for abortion. Equalize educational and work opportunities, guarantee pay that enables reasonable living standards, and give access to high-quality nutrition for all people.
Lol, yeah, "Protect Women's Rights" only ... make sure those women have no food to eat, or money to buy that food or heat in the winter ... but oh no, make sure they can abort
I'm all for mandatory abortions for purple haired single women - it's the best way at reducing future Antifa fanaticsI'm pretty sure it would have almost no effect.
HashAttack2 Does / should sterilization ever get offered as an option?I do think a doctor or psychiatrist, following strict guidelines, could perhaps be able to make a decision about that (in regard to either men or women). There are some people whose lifestyles are so consistently erratic, dysfunctional, or unhealthy that they clearly would present a real danger to a new life.
The DOJ and FBI are the USA police state. No government official can legally claim the Supreme Court is wrong. Garland is a traitor to the Constitution, and should be removed.
