Yeah I agree with all that.

Was hoping someone would set this fella straight, but a lot of strippers are prostitutes, but they'll let you know if that is on the menu.

Thanks for the suggestion.

What a stupid response.

Everything you just wrote is bullshit.

Very good job at trying to change the argument, but I'm not going to take the bait. Our social programs are not designed to stop people from dying in the streets and killing the rich. They are designed to prevent the guilt that would associate with allowing people to suffer when we collectively have the means to…

You can have event-related psychological issues. I think he could get a psychiatrist to diagnose him and then the league would smartly leave him alone.

That is great. But you are allowed to "listen to God" or flip a coin or see a psychic to decide what laws to support. You can get pissed about it, but you sound like an idiot if you think such behavior or reasoning is "not allowed" or however you want to put it.

Well it is a matter of determining when a "life" (zygote, fetus, child) gains any rights (or personhood) and what rights. Is it conception, implantation, viability, birth, or something else? If because of a person's religious beliefs they think at the point of conception the human life is equal to any other human…

But that is basically what law does. It imposes standards of some portion of a group on the whole group. Yes, the law tramples your right not to be subject to the law.

So why do we use public money to help the poor and sick? For the most part, the motivation behind this is that it is morally wrong to allow people to live in abject poverty or sickness. It is a moral stance. Under your standards, such social programs should be "banned" - whatever the fuck that means. Feel free to…

Your religion guiding your moral stance, whether it be on abortion, homelessness, education or anything else, is not trumping someone else's rights. This is the stupidest argument in this area that has now been repeated and parroted by so many non-thinking people that it has become accepted without explanation.

It is a very successful bullying tactic. A person in a position that allows them to harm others does so in order to try to make these people, who are comparatively powerless, act in a different way. Textbook bullying. It is just acceptable here because the bully is viewed as morally superior to the bullied. Oh,…

What does that even mean? They invoke the name of God in their published platform? So fucking what? That isn't illegal and shouldn't be. Stop being such a fascist.

Unless you are suggesting something much more authoritarian than any interpretation of the Constitution would allow, it would still be an issue. Because banning abortion is no more "religious" than banning theft.

I fail to see how either of those things don't matter as they are topics in the story and the comment we both replied to. But yes, my purpose was to simply point out differences. I don't feel like I'd be able to make a strong argument based on values that the differences were material, but I think they were…

Were you also kidding about lacking a chromosome? Because most developmentally challenged people have troubles with non-slapstick humor.

First of all I never said he shouldn't have a presser, I just said the situations were different.

I also heard about this one house at a college in the south that would make its pledges ritualistically rape a girl when they pledged. It apparently went on for years unchecked until one brave soul came forward. #downwithfrats #rapeculture

His draft stock will improve if he played more in college. Why is that hard to understand? I mean, I don't claim to fully understand the NFL drafting process, but generally they like to draft people who actually play college football.
