You choose your own path. It's wonderful when people can come into your life and light a path that you did not see which will inspire you to continue. But in some cases (such as a terrible disease) you really can see that the only way forward is rife with suffering. You should have the right to choose whatever leads to the least amount of suffering. 25 25points reply View More Replies... View more comments #11 Phew , Ok. Ima say it !

I also believe that plea bargaining needs to be taken off the table in most cases...especially as it relates to violent crimes.

I do believe that there should be more programs in prison like the ones in Louisiana that take rescued dogs and send them to the prison to be trained by inmates. Some of those dogs are well trained enough to become service dogs. It gives the dog another chance and gives a prisoner the means to care about someone else and motivations to do better while incarcerated.

View more comments #25 You shouldn't verbally attack people who disagree with you. Democracy is about having the freedom to believe what they want and express those beliefs. A lot of people are claiming to be pushing for equal rights and freedom of voice, but those same people shame and suppress those that disagree with them.
There's also a difference between hating and disagreeing. For example, say I didn't agree with the LGBTQ+ community. But these are thoughts and feelings I kept to myself. I have Gay and Trans friends that I treat the same way I would treat my other friends. They wouldn't even expect I felt like this unless I told them. If I still love the people in the LGBTQ+ Community like I would anyone else, do I really deserve to be talked to like I'm a horrible, evil person? If I actively discriminated against them, that's one thing, but just not liking one of a person's traits is not a crime.
Even so, YOU CAN'T FIGHT HATE WITH HATE! The only way to fight hate is with love. Turning against each other only makes the animosity grow. We need to come together and accept our differences and work to make the world a better place.

Everyone sane hates the Nazis. Let's use them as an example. Imagine a Nazi was telling you that you have the right to disagree silently with the Third Reich, but you should not have the right to tell them what evil bastards they are. Because telling them their ideology is not only stupid, but evil is a form of hate speech and by speaking out about them you hurt their fee-fees. Disagreeing with them they say is violence, and so when they decide to kill you, they say, its self defense. Maiming you is something to brag about, to be proud of, because you said something they didn't like and now people feel justified in hounding you at work, at home, and online.

I think that the BLM movement has gone too far. I'm not saying this because I'm racist white trash, I'm saying this because they're rioting and burning buildings without any consequences as well as removing the memories of the people who shaped our country.

Also, the fact that we have to mention race in news stories?? Like if a WHITE man kills a WHITE man, that doesn't get mentioned. But if a WHITE man kills a BLACK man it's racist. Racism is not always a factor in this type of stuff, and there are other motives.

Finally, everything is offensive nowadays. I mean, they'll label anything you say that they don't like as something or the other and they'll get all their friends and bash you for it. I just think that it's stupid..

Report Final score: 14points Giga Bit POST Ai Ai Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago ok, so the “BLM movement” as you said isn’t speaking for all protesters or news sites. in every instance of a protest or fight against something there are people who use the movement to try and be a hero or live out their dreams of destroying the government or whatever. these people are not the BLM movement or what it stands for. you have to understand that the BLM movement is a movement for peace and equality. the people rioting are just angry and causing more harm than helping but this doesn’t mean that the i tire movement is wrong. also of corse news stations will be pushing race in their articles, race is a very popular and weighted discussion in the world right now and the news wants people to read the articles so they will put in as much controversial stuff as they can. and you say that everything is offensive now, well it may be true that there are a lot of thingslike cancel culture, you should try and ask why something hurts someone and understand where they are coming from. 5 5points reply View More Replies...

The very definition of tolerance is that you tolerate someone’s actions, existence, whatever, even though you don’t agree with it. Currently it’s being used to say “if you don’t agree with me and celebrate the fact that I exist and do the stuff I do, clearly you’re hateful and a terrible person.” That’s not tolerance, you’re asking for celebration. Which is all well and good, but I don’t think celebration should be required. People are all entitled to their own opinion, and if my opinion is that, say, orange is a terrible color and people who think orange is awesome are wrong, I’m allowed to believe that. Now, I don’t think people should be allowed to go and scream at people wearing orange and call them names or anything, but just saying that people who think orange is awesome are wrong isn’t hateful, it’s just an opinion. My opinion isn’t hurting anyone. Disagreement is not the same as animosity. I just think that people shouldn’t think that “tolerance” means “complete acceptance and praise”, it means “I agree that you’re entitled to your opinion, even though I think it’s wrong. I can coexist with you without agreeing with you.” People always say that Christians are “intolerant” because the Bible says that homosexual acts are sinful. But that’s not intolerance, that’s an opinion. Now sure, calling homosexual people slurs and refusing to associate with them would be intolerance, but simply believing that they’re wrong and stating that fact isn’t. The Bible actually teaches tolerance (“love your neighbor as yourself”, “love your enemies and pray for them”, “do unto others what you would have them do unto you”, any of that ring a bell?), however it does not say that we have to agree with everything everyone does.

I know that sounds super bad, given how terrible the actions of the Nazi party were, but hear me out. Everyone always uses Nazis as examples of unforgivably terrible people, but often the lower level party members were only in the party under threat of death. Hitler and his upper level cronies were terrible, their actions were unspeakably evil, I definitely agree with that. But there actually have been reports of people in the lower levels actively trying to destroy the party from the inside (unsuccessfully). And for many of them, it was either join the party or die, and joining the party seemed like the better option at the time. Also, think about the youth programs. These kids have been brought up as “future comrades”, their whole life or whole schooling has been focused on Nazi ideology, that’s really all they know. It’s not entirely their fault. If you had been taught for as long as you could remember that some people weren’t people and were enemies to be killed, and you were never told anything different, ever, don’t you think you might have started to believe it? It’s the same with many cults, the people who were convinced to join weren’t at fault for the actions of the leaders. Islamic extremists too, yes, blowing up buildings and killing tons of people is very bad from most people’s perspective, but often that’s all they know. Young kids are very impressible, what they’re taught is what they believe. Just because someone is associated with a group that did something terrible doesn’t mean the individual person is evil.

So the antinatalist position articulated by Prof David Benatar is that human life is mostly suffering, so, we should pre-emptively abort all pregnancies. Really! You can google him. "Better to have never been", his book is called. My position here is the opposite. Humans have the greatest moral value. Some may argue that some animals have greater value, but I doubt it's sincere. Otherwise they'd be vegans. So, if humans have the greatest moral value, it follows that we should actively try make more humans, as they're capable of great moral good, and, if morality is additive (more good things = greater good), then we should have more people. The questions obviously arise like (a) unwanted pregnancies and (b) overpopulation and (c) Hitler etc. To (a), it's a woman's choice, to (b), just limit people to one kid per family. To (c), yes, you get aberrations, which is why we have Law.

Click here to view. #145 It's time I wrote another piece: this time, a more in-depth argument against raising the minimum wage. Please no name-calling.

1: Many people claim that the minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation. False. When President Roosevelt first instated a minimum wage in 1938, it was only 25c. This converts to about 5 dollars today. Our 7.50 minimum wage exceeded inflation.

2: Now, basic economics. Supply and demand. What happens when you meddle with supply and demand and instate price controls? Shortages or surpluses. Let's assume that, at equilibrium, the price of apples is 5$. Then the government comes along and fixes the price at 10$. Who's unhappy? The consumers, who have to buy an apple at a price too high. They start avoiding buying apples (or a black market forms), and the apple industry gets destroyed. It's the same thing with wages. Let's assume John gets paid 10$. The government comes along and forces him to get paid 15$. What happens? Does he get paid more? No, he gets fired, and he is now unemployed. You see, price controls (such as a minimum wage) hurt the very people they're trying to help.

3: Now, let's miraculously assume that John doesn't get fired. What happens? Price inflation! Now, everyone thinks, "Hey, these guys are getting paid more. Let's just raise prices, since they can afford this stuff anyways!" And, as a result, purchasing power doesn't change at all.

4: Now, it's time to debunk that productivity vs wage graph. I'm sure you've all seen it, it shows worker productivity as going up but wages as stagnating. This is misleading, mainly due to the fact that they calculated 'productivity'. Bob hammers 1 nail an hour. However, his boss comes a long and gives him some new equipment, which lets him hammer 5 nails an hour. Why isn't he getting a pay raise? He used to hammer one nail, now he hammers 5 nails! It's because he's not doing any extra work. It's the fancy equipment that is doing the work, NOT him. This is the case nationwide: there is a growing amount of automation and new innovation making workers seem more 'productive', when in reality, they're not the ones doing that work.

5: Chicago raised minimum wages, and unemployment rose. Their unemployment rate rose 1 percent, even as national unemployment fell .5%.

6: Don't pretend that the entire country is slaving away working the minimum wage. This is far from true. In 2009, 5% of people worked the minimum wage. Now, only 1 percent of workers work the minimum wage. Few people are working the minimum wage than you think. People making at or below the minimum wage is 2.3 percent of all hourly-paid workers. This is information from the BLS, by the way.

These are mainly why I oppose raising the minimum wage. Again, civil discussion is welcome. I used statistics here, so don't hesitate to ask for a source. Report Final score: -10points MorgothBauglir POST Jon S. Jon S. Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) I mean, the basis of the minimum wage should be that it is pegged to the cost of living, so that if the cost of living goes up the minimum wage keeps pace so that any one working a full time job can afford to live.

They CHOOSE to drink that bottle / can every day and they continue to CHOOSE to do it until they eventually become addicted. (to whatever the addiction is these are just a few examples) Once they are addicted then it's a disease where it controls your thoughts and actions and all that. But in the beginning it was a choice, just like when those of us that are NOT addicts chose NOT to pick up that drug, drink etc. It's also a CHOICE to get help. Is it easy? Hell no. But it is still a choice. You have to WANT to get help. You have to make the choice to go GET help. So yes not a "disease" someone with a disease can't help it, can't control it.
