it's unfortunate that we don't have Internet security right now or the laws in place to protect people from pirating that stuff

That was really upsetting. I found myself feeling... violent as I was listening to it.
Shhhhhhhhh.
So organize a political party that promises to alter the constitution and dissolve itself and the entire government once elected. You won't win, of course, because nobody wants that. Even if you did win, it would lead to a power vacuum. Someone else would step in, and that someone would probably have selfish…
"My question to you is, why is it just for the state to use violence to coerce people to submit to their will, but not okay for me personally to use violence against you to get shit done that I want done."
The same arguments couldn't be applied to women, because the fetus is part of a woman's body and she therefore can choose to do what she wants with it. The fetus isn't part of the man's body, and so after the fact, his choices are limited. This fundamental difference means the same arguments don't work in both…
Jesus fucking Christ, abortion should not be illegal because no one has a right to tell you whether you can remove a part of your own body. That doesn't change the fact that IF A BABY IS ACTUALLY BROUGHT TO TERM AND BECOMES ITS OWN AUTONOMOUS PERSON, the parents are both responsible for it. WHILE THE BABY IS ATTACHED…
"Follow this to it's [sic] logical ends [sic], using the government to threaten men to force them to do work their body [sic] to subsidize your CHOICE is a violation of their bodily autonomy."
Bodily autonomy does not mean "the ability to avoid legal, moral, and financial obligations you willingly took on." Bodily autonomy means deciding what gets to touch your body, go inside your body, or (in a woman's case), live parasitically off your body. That's why women get to choose whether or not they're going to…
"So can you explain why women should have the choice to become parents but men shouldn't?"
You phrase things in such a skewed way.
No. You're trivializing the most important part of my comment. The baby (parasite) is growing in and living off of the woman's body. Everyone has the right to bodily autonomy. You cannot force someone to keep or remove a part of their body. That's why she gets to make the choice. It's all so very, very simple.
They had a choice already. Their choice came in the, ahem, early stages. This is a biological reality; it may be "unfair" but it's also unfair that women are burdened with so much reproductive responsibility.
You're not a woman, by the way.
"You realize pro-lifers make the same argument of "oh you had sex now you're responsible so abortion is bad" right?"
It's so simple. A man can help put a baby in a woman's body. His sperm is half the equation, and therefore he's half responsible. But the baby is growing inside the woman's body, living off of her - it is, for all intents and purposes, a part of her body until it comes out. Since it's a part of her body, she decides…
I remember reading somewhere that older folks stop producing as much melatonin naturally, and that this might be part of the reason for their decreased sleep quality. I told my parents to try taking melatonin supplements, but they both found that it made them too groggy unfortunately (I'm trying to make my parents…
But imagine if that shirt was being worn by a white guy, and instead of "I (heart) black people" it actually said "I (heart) the blacks." I mean, that would just be weird, and it would make me feel uncomfortable. I know it's a subtle difference, but there's something patronizing and essentializing about that specific…
We should ALL be driving cars made by people who make $2.00/hour. Actually, we should all be making $2.00/hr. I can't wait until America becomes like China, Russia, etc. I'm sick of this "middle class" and "union" shit, give me corporate oligarchy asap please. P.S., I'm a moron. I don't understand basic concepts.…
