A hypothetical moral dilemma: Dan melody are dating, Dan ask Melody" are you on birth control?

Anonbene comments on Jun 14, 2019:

@Anonbene right. She could have done any number of things, but our idiot author here specifically mentioned BC pills. Should she have disclosed her method? Absolutely. Should he have told her he had a vasectomy so she wouldn't have to use BC at all? Absolutely. But the assumption that 2 people could be in a relationship for that long without discussing the method being used to prevent pregnancy is the idiotic thing here.

Since the actual question was *should Dan have told Melody about his vasectomy?* I think you should refrain from judging the reading comprehension of others. And yes, he should have told her. If there's no reason to put her body through using BC he's an asshole for making her do it.

@Corvislover in his mind you 2 probably meet too early in the "relationship" for his personality to nullify his weight issues - and obviously he knows its an issue. I'm not defending him or the practice. People do it all the time, just trying to give you the view from the idiot side of this.

@Mark013 there would be close enough encounters with other stars to disturb the orbits in the ort cloud, increasing the number of rocks flying about the inner solar system. Its also possible that our planets orbits would be different due to gravitational interference, either closer or farther away from the sun, and/or more highly eliptical. Then there's those pesky novas being close enough to sterilize the whole planet. Be a cool show, but that's about it.

@Neenz money is the ability to get someone to do something for you they normally wouldn't. Money is the ability to create art, music, literature, discover the wonders of the universe, cure diseases, educate others, and so much more. The reason money allows us to do all those things is because no one person has to do everything just to survive. Humans were on the barter system for a long, long, long time and life was generally miserable.

@Triphid such sound logic, and I'm willing to bet this isn't a one off for you. Yes, but I don't believe in making or cheering on someone suffering, no matter what they did. Its a purille concept to think it does anything besides fulfill some base desire for "justice" within you, when all it really does is show you want someone to suffer because they've crossed some threshold you've decided upon.
