afaik jesus never said anything about homosexuality

light mode

racist

hell yes

eyes

shorter

I'm 6 ft 3 so very few girls are taller than me anyway

there's no evidence that blacks face a statistically significant higher risk of being shot by police. If you look at multiple factor analysis (MFA) studies that account for factors such as violent crime overrepresentation in the black population. Some studies even find whites are more likely to be shot when accounting for these factors.

I agree that the drug laws in this country are terrible, but the fact blacks get busted is a good thing, if whites get off the hook more that's a problem. All people should get busted if they break the law

this is all anecdotal

lmao this guy

xd

this is the main reason for black unemployment rate and average lower standard of living

the welfare state

and lousy government schools

you should actively try to base your opinions on data and avoid anecdotal experience and bias as much as possible

there are 2 sexes

that's the rule

that's an exception to the rule

an extremely rare condition

but sure I'll concede the point that intersex is a third sex if you want to put it that way

but it is not down to personal opinion and what they feel like

something like 0.5-1.5% are born intersex iirc

is that all you're arguing?

.

gender dysphoria is/was a mental disorder

just because you believe something to be true doesn't make it true

no sure there is intersex

why would you give trans people hormones if biological realities don't alter behaviour and personality.

it's because they do

I'm not saying biology is everything because it certainly isn't

but you can't reduce gender to a social construct is jus

the terms gender and sex were interchangable for the longest time

in many jurisdictions they're interchangeable

europeans did not see gender as a social construct no

because it isn't

Gender roles isn't a european idea lmao

wdym push it on other people, they already had gender roles themselves before europeans came

also it is improper to say all europeans did

only some european nations did any of that

no what I meant was that the idea that all the countries colonized by european countries had other gender roles is just false

you may find some very specific examples

read what I said again

.

who?

I know of one or 2 examples, but they were all short lived or very old civilizations that died long before europeans came there.

also just because it was a small part of society doesn't mean it was generally accepted by general society

Just because some people are different doesn't mean that they are another gender. everybody's bodies are different. I totally agree with that. But to say gender roles or behaviour of someone of a certain sex is totally socially constructed is very wrong.

Much of it is expressions of biological realities.

But semi traditional gender roles are natural expressions of biological realities. If people don't want to live like that then I applaud them for being themselves. But you don't have to invent new terms and concepts, like new genders. Especially not new pronouns. It can also confuse children early in development. No evidence of it being harmful for older kids 14+ though iirc in terms of higher rates of gender dysphoria and other mental disorders(could be wrong).

You can be a tomboy etc. I think people should be who they want to be. But you don't have to invent new genders for that

I'm a progressive at heart but many progressives just want to pick fights with people for no reason, trying to find non-issues and be as provocative and make as much noise as possible about it.

it's pretty tiring at this point

uhh didn't see it

you guys don't have any roles smh

government should stay out of it

a successful and civil debate

on the internet

I'm impressed

you have a blm role. hmm

I don't know what that means

so I didn't give myself that role

like I know that some of the blm people have no idea what they're talking about, like people who want to defund the police. But they're no one group.

people who say "acab" etc.

how do these people breathe

I'm a swede and we have respect for the police. Except some younger immigrants because it's "cool" or w/e. But older immigrants and the society as a whole has a lot of respect for the police force here.

crime has skyrocketed since 2010 due to very very high levels of uncontrolled immigration :p

police spending is too low imo

did you read what I said?

I said I think police spending is too ***low***

?

.

what do you mean they don't even use it all. wtf is that even supposed to mean

they spend their entire budget

ok ok slow down

let's talk about policing and the police budget first of all

I think police spending should increase to crack down on crime, and drug laws should be changed.

so people don't get put in prison for weed etc

also to make gangs get less revenue

from drug dealing

Money isn't the problem, some students in poor performing areas get 3 times more funding than in other areas where results are much higher

the problem is the bureaucracy and incentives created by the system. People can't choose what school their children go to unless they're at least middle class

So the people running the school have no incentive to keep quality up.

because the students can't leave

We have a school voucher system in sweden. It's much better than the us system

even if it creates waiting lines.

sure

Yes, very

I can't speak for your experience but fatherlessness makes this worse.

Especially in black communities

because fatherlessness is much more prevalent there

kids are much more likely to be aggressive and misbehaved and develop disorders.

no one has to commit crime to survive in america

like in what case?

I can justify stealing to survive, but we have programs in place that eliminate extreme poverty that cause starvation. Unless you're not willing to cooperate with authorities. Like drug addicts etc.

I personally think that a negative income tax would be a much better idea.

And replace all welfare programs with that

it's much much less wasteful

An INSANE amount of resources are going to bureaucracy and salaries to public workers.
