Fetus and baby - what is the ethical difference?

racocn8 comments on May 4, 2022:

Objecting to abortion has no basis in scripture. It is and has always been a policy derived from patriarchal suppression of women. A baby eats, breathes, excretes, and has conscious thought. A fetus does none of those things.

And she was right.

Can we just teach pregnant women how to make Molotov cocktails? It worked in Canada... "Overturning Roe could galvanize Americans to vote for Democrats" In your dreams, Hemant. But there's this: Abortion has been used by Christians to fatten the take and corral the sheep for decades. Losing that issue will speed up the loss of church-goers as well as galvanizing the ire of young people.

How gullible are we to have imagined that Hillary Clinton could prevail against Donald Trump? She had repeatedly shown incompetence in her various roles, and as a person, was known as Shrillary for good reason. As much as I despise hearing Donald Trump speak, Hillary was worse. The U.S. is so unfit. Trump certainly proved that. What a fucking shit show. Now we have to listen to women complain about abortion until the next election; where are those earplugs? Fuck the 19th Amendment (Use it or lose it).

racocn8 comments on May 3, 2022:

It's up to women now. They cannot plead ignorance or whatever. Women know the stakes this time. If the U.S. dies to fascism, it will be on their heads. Yikes, what am I saying? Yeah, we can't rely on women to keep democracy. In 2016, the women in the U.S. had the tools to safeguard their civil rights. They chose not to vote, or to vote for a misogynist. If women won't protect themselves, do they really deserve those rights? Maybe they shouldn't be voting at all. If women won't vote responsibly, the 19th Amendment should be repealed. It's pretty clear most people are unfit to vote. Should women (and progressives) be forgiven for inflicting Donald Trump on the world?

Religion and education: Let's be perfectly clear

racocn8 comments on May 1, 2022:

All of this neglects the history of Christianity's relationship to education and science for the last 150 years. Religions generally, and Christianity specifically pick up issues unrelated to dogma and run with them. Abortion is an example. Another is how Christians have waged an ugly war against education, science, and against scientists personally. It is a campaign of hate; instilling hatred of all those they deem to be enemies, and indoctrinating sociopathic behaviors of dishonesty, bigotry and closed-mindedness. Religion does indeed poison everything. Religion enhances education? There's a perfect example of lying trying to claw back respectability.

Indeed, it is so much easier to live without telling lies to others and oneself. No tall tales to keep straight. No mental gymnastics to account for all the contradictions.

The Pentagon knows all too well what UAPs are, but also knows that full disclosure would badly disrupt Human cultures across the globe. However, the Pentagon does not have any right to withhold most of this information. What to do? Recovered technology has been farmed out to some MAC contractors, but not others, giving powerful commercial advantages to some firms. Another problem is that UAP surveillance of military assets has been ramping up significantly, suggesting that UAP intentions have intention to accurately assess military force projection. Some incidents describe UAPs as teasing, showing off, or toying with pilots. This activity could be leading up to something. At 3:31, the video shows the Canadian who was burned by a UFO. I recently saw that his shirt had a matching burn pattern. What sort of technology would generate such a precise pattern (of microwaves or what?).

Ugly: She's a lawyer Did you hear about the divorced Barbie Doll? She comes with all of Ken's stuff? A young boy asked his mother to tell him her age, height, weight, and why she got divorced. She refused to answer any of his questions. Later, a friend told the boy to look at his mother's driver's license because it had all of that information on it. So the boy went back to his house and sneaked his mom's license from her purse. Later, he told his mother: "You are 38 years old, 5 foot, 6 inches tall and weigh 118 pounds." She replied: "Well, smarty, why did I get a divorce?" Her son replied: "because you got an F in sex!"

The technician possessed a dark humor and smirked when he saw Loren’s face. Choosing to frighten my friend even worse, the tech reached under the sheet and pulled out a dismembered leg. Shaking the dripping limb at Loren, he said “This’ll teach you not to race on Pacific Coast Highway…”

From the article: "In fact, Jesus warned against showy public prayers, saying in the Gosel of Matthew that hypocrites love to pray publicly “that they may be seen of men.” God’s rewards, according to Jesus, flow to those who obey his command, “When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father.”" Christianity as it is actually practiced sees bullying as a mainstay of their behavior. That SCOTUS would even give this case a hearing plainly demonstrates the hypocrisy of mainstream Christianity and the corruption of SCOTUS by Fake americans (Putin-americans).
