Most philosophy pages have a kind of "counter argument" area

Except that one

For some reason 😉

I wonder why?

Maybe a Smart person like you just hasn't gotten around to it

I think the exact cutoff for things like "consciousness" and higher thinking is still being researched.

But personally, I'm leaning towards kosher

Cut out your inherent bias and faith - treat all living things based on their merit. What does a late term fetus have that makes it more "evil" to terminate than a pig or a cow or a chicken?

It's "potential"?

What if we had the technology to "train" and "augment" chickens to human levels of intelligence?

Wow, so graphic. Source of baby skulls being drilled and their brains sucked out? Sounds inefficient

<:haha:583236087137435659>

LOL Reinhard tried to bring up this on another server and I linked the same thing.

Guess he didn't learn his lesson

Where's the skull being drilled and brains sucked out though

https://slate.com/technology/1998/01/partial-truths-in-the-partial-birth-abortion-debate.html

Looks like heavy anesthesia is given to the mother and fetus. Tongs are used to crush the head instantly.

Can't find heads being drilled and brains sucked out anywhere...

As I said: inefficient.

But you know, if you're anesthetized, I don't think the exact "method" is terribly important.

We kill animals WITHOUT anesthetizing them all the time - and even some of THOSE methods are considered humane...

Yes sir, please don't ban me sir

But to be clear: can I make comments and whine when people write TOO much? I want to know the rules so I am not punished <:peepobad:538084182644228112>

Good point - here, I added the "feminist" tag as well

Modern feminism doesn't represent actual equality all too often

Labels are really important to you, huh

I'll drag a feminist through the dirt for saying stupid shit like "men shouldn't vote"

Just like I'll drag you through the dirt for saying "women shouldn't vote"

Fighting for men's rights = men's right's activist. Fighting for women's rights = women's right's activist (or feminist?)

So what if you fight for everyone's rights - what's the label?

That wasn't one of the options though - I looked at the list and picked all the ones that I identify with

I didn't initially select feminism because of it's negative connotation and modern interpretation, but...you brought up a good point Daddy

Lol not wanting to "confuse" people as a reason to justify oppressing them...

Same argument for gays - having gay parents is "confusing" for kids

Tried and failed argument.

? Duplicated text because I was quoting him...

There's people here who don't think women should vote

How much more cancer can it get?

@Deleted User So, you're a German living in (and constantly stroking off) Switzerland, but you almost moved to Canada and are looking for a job in San Francisco...interesting

Gender dysphoria is a mental illness and there are various scientifically backed (and doctor approved) therapies including hormone replacement and sex reassignment

Reinhard also has a habit of peacing out to "go to bed" or doing something else important and then sticking around 😏

Here's one of the "Aliens" https://youtu.be/2lkybOCvLTA

Obviously this person is weird as hell and demented

But guess what?

Let em be

BTW lots of those "alien" type people who get tons of plastic surgery are functioning members of society - and oftentimes rather wealthy.

"Only 2 genders" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender

Nice meme - it does bring up a good point as far as competitive sports and things go.

Additional regulations are necessary to prevent exploitation.

SEX vs GENDER

Know the difference

SEX is biological and you can't change it.

GENDER is not SEX

Just because you say it doesn't make it true. Gender is not equivalent to sex - by definition.

These guys do. They are A LOT

Let that man roleplay as a fucking dog lol

If it makes him and his husband happy

Wtf?

Guess what: I bet some of YOUR hobbies are considered retarded by people

As much as roleplaying as a dog

There are male cheerleaders...

Integral part of the team, in fact

Because they are stronger and can do more acrobatic things

Didn't I already mention the COMPETITIVE SPORTS angle? And how there need to be additional regulations in place?

What about women who take male hormone supplements but still identity as women? What do you do? They have an advantage over other women. What about as technology advances and implants or robotic limbs become an advantage?

Competitive sports need regulations that go beyond gender and sex.

Sex offenders are corner cases. Guess what? The guy who is going to rape your daughter is NOT going to try to pass as transgendered to "sneak" into the bathroom. That's stupid.

They're just gonna walk in there and rape them

Why would you dress up and shit?

"a time"

It's been around since forever

Eunuchs and shit have been integral in many parts of the world

Again, is the "shock factor" supposed to be making some kind of a point?

Ohhh YUCK!

GAYS!!!

YUCKYYYY

waaaah

😂

People like @crypto and @Deleted User like to "rage quit" but stick around

Reinhard "went to bed" like a solid hour ago in another chat

Reinhard not true but okay

That's why I love free speech - the dirty laundry airs itself out.

Ben Shapiro is an interesting specimen. At his best, he can be entertaining...

Imagine being such a nosy fuck that you feel the need to control other people to such an extent

What I find particularly hilarious is these same regurgitated kinds of arguments can all apply to gay people. But discriminating against gays has become increasingly unsavory to the point that even here, people know it's stupid to voice that kind of bigotry.

^See what I mean?

The same kinds of people who'd be talking about how "unnatural" gays are and horrified at their SONS sharing urinals next to GAY MEN

All of the sudden it's the trans that are the boogeyman

What about your little boys sharing urinals next to GAYS?

We're not trying to even have a semblance of a debate anymore?

Yep looks like it

🚽 💩

HAHA

TOILET POOPPY

xD

TOILET POOOOOPY! HAHAH 🚽 💩
