That was meant as a joke. Actually, I like the fact that he discusses his pov in a reasonable way. He gives the decision to women but then asks for the same sort of "freedom" for men, saying:

"If you can kill this Mother F*****, I can at least abandon him. That's fair."

meaning if the woman gets to decide to have the child or not the man should also get to decide whether or not to be a part of its life.

Which seems reasonable at least.

 

It's rather an unique situation. The child is the result of two people tangoing, but the physical demands and even potential for death from pregnancy rest only on the (biological) mother. How do you make something really "fair" in a situation like that?

 

You know what I mean about choice from a biological perspective, I don't know why you're acting like you don't. Of course every woman has the "choice" to kill her developing baby, and women have been doing this throughout history.

The same choice exists *after* the baby is born, btw. How do you feel about a mother killing her unwanted newborn? The Romans and Greeks not only saw nothing wrong with killing their children, the right (and in the case of "deformity", the obligation) to do so was the law. Say a month goes by after delivery and the mother decides the child is too much of a burden. Do you think it should be legal for the parents to kill their child? If not, why are you trying to legislate YOUR morality and the expense of raising said child on society?

You have to stop killing somewhere.

 

The last report was in Shanghai from a few days ago, now one from Peru. The start of the Zombie Apocalypse?


"
Rosa Isabel Cespedes Callaca was reportedly being buried April 26 when, in the midst of a funeral procession in Peru, mourners carrying her coffin heard a strange knocking sound from inside the coffin.

It was Callaca, who was actually alive and found to be gasping for air when the coffin was placed on the ground.

"(She) opened her eyes and was sweating," Juan Segundo Cajo, the caretaker of the cemetery, described the scene. "I immediately went to my office and called the police.""

People die "naturally" every day. Some are 20 weeks old when they die, and some are 100 years old. That's mother nature for you, and she's a toughie. However, we don't say that because some infants, children, and adults "naturally" die early that murder should be legal and *morally acceptable*. How come it magically becomes acceptable to kill someone immediately before their birth but suddenly becomes murder as soon as they are born?

What straw man are you talking about?

 

So you believe in the "abolish Roe" position. Don't let 9 unelected judges in the Federal Government force a mandate of legality on the nation, let the people in the States decide what's legal and what's not. When Congress, otoh, gets off its collective rump and actually *passes a law* on the subject, that will become the law of the land for everyone. Makes sense to me.

 

LOL! Actually, it was the seven members of the Warren court who inflicted their unfair ruling on the country 50 years ago that caused the current problem, and like Clarence Thomas said, the more conservative side of the country as had to accept the outcome of that decision countless times since then. I disagree with Judge Thomas, btw. Just because a wrong has existed for 50 years that doesn't mean we should just accept it, we should do our part as citizens to try and *correct* it.

The main issue here is that the Supreme Court should NEVER have made up the right to privacy and legalized abortion based on the right they invented. Passing laws and Constitutional amendments is the job of *Congress*, not the Supreme Court.

The best thing that could happen in this situation is to have Roe overturned and Congress to finally do its job and pass a law on abortion one way or the other - OR, for Congress to admit they can't pass a law on the subject and let the decision be made by the elected officials in the states who can. Something so important should be decided by the People through their elected officials, not by a handful of judges who are accountable to no one.

 

Three *middle school* boys are being charged with sexual harassment for not using the pronouns a transgender student wanted them to. Apparently they called him "he, and him" rather than "they, and them" like the student wanted.

It's an odd use of English, IMO. For example, in my sentence above, instead of writing "Apparently they asked him", to keep the student happy and myself from getting charged with sexual harassment, I should have written "Apparently they asked them" which... sounds odd.

Individualizing pronouns seems like a lot of work to put people through, especially if you'd get charged with a crime for not remembering every person's choices.

So in England a gang of "trans rights" protestors put a noose around the neck of Emmeline Pankhurst's statue (without whom American women may not have been acknowledged to have the right to vote as quickly as we did) and assaulted some woman trying to get to her statue.

You can't tell who these "trans rights" people are as they are all wearing masks, but regardless of what gender they claim to be, they sure *act* like a pack of angry young men.

I guess... I'm having trouble figuring out what the "trans" people's issue is. Mrs. Pankhurst is a hero for fighting for the rights of women. These trans men claim to BE women, so... they are fighting to have less rights for themselves? What sense does that make?

A Twitter executive is caught on tape mocking Elon Musk's Asperger's diagnosis. So... not really open-minded after all.

"
Elon Musk called out a Twitter executive who was caught mocking the billionaire's Asperger's in a newly-released video from Project Veritas.

Alex Martinez, identified by Project Veritas as Twitter's Lead Client Partner, was recorded knocking his incoming boss, decrying the Tesla CEO's mission to reform the platform's policies in favor of free speech.

"He has Asperger's. So he's special!" Martinez told an undercover Project Veritas journalist in a video released Tuesday. "You're special needs! You're literally special needs."

"So I can't even take what you're saying seriously," Martinez added. "

Here's something odd. Portugal had what they called a "Golden Visa" program, offering residency (a Portuguese green card?) to anyone who bought a house there worth $500,000 or more. I suppose the plan was to lure in wealthy people from other countries to stimulate their economy.

The funny thing is, it was too successful and the program has had to be suspended given the inflation that has resulted in Portugal from the gentrification. The stranger thing is that the people moving to Portugal have been overwhelmingly... Californians! Who would have thought prices would be so bad in Calif. that people would defect to Portugal???

The sad part for California, of course, is that these aren't the poor who utilize social services and cost the state, they are the wealthy who were the ones paying the bills who are leaving. LOL, I knew there was an outmigration of high-tax-payers from the state to places like Texas and Florida, but I didn't know the exodus was *international*. That's shocking!
