To be clear: I believe women are actual thinking, feeling human beings. And they are the ones giving birth, which is an objective fact it truly seems as though certain people are quick to forget. Neglect. Attempt to set aside.

If you're going to advocate for all life being born, you are obligated to do this thing where you treat women like they are actual human beings. Who have been living for some time, possessing full awareness of a day-to-day existence. Appreciation for pain, sacrifice, the drive to continue living in a world which treats them quite literally as baby factories. Alas, they are in fact human beings who have functioning emotions and complex thoughts.

And it is not now nor ever has it been any idle detail when people mention that the act of giving birth and the toll it takes on women physically and mentally is a very serious thing. I know certain people's grasp of the word serious truly comes and goes on a whim.

At no point in America's "evolution" has it been a common thing for people to go around setting each on fire or drilling into each other's gums/knocking-in teeth with a quasi-surgical tool. Pains which have appropriately been compared to freaking childbirth. While also arguing they deserve the right to subject others to those pains, for any reason whatsoever. Especially moral reasons. Morality / "the greater good" + advocating for forcing people to undergo agonizingly painful experiences = don't we typically argue against the Nazi concentration camps and the Salem witch trials? I guess that sort of thing only remains eternally in-vogue for some on the political spectrum.

The yesteryear national debate on Tom Cruise attempting to dictate Brooke Shields' course of post-pardum medicinal treatments was merely one fantastic teaching opportunity that I remember... did everyone else forget? Women who've given birth deal with a host of hormonal issues men are not privy to understanding, several triggering deep depression. We learned this some time ago.

Giving birth is not a simple in & out procedure. Something I also believed we are each well aware of. Guess it's one of those things that just comes and goes at whim. Whereas: mothers still in fact die in and shortly after childbirth in the wealthiest nation in the entire world. U.S.A. This is no idle detail related directly to giving birth. None of these details are idle. But certain people force us into discussions ruled by how much each of us actually care. About humans who actually understand fear and pain and their rights being violated rather than the concept of humans yet to be born.

Until every person who decides they should be allowed to make the decision for a woman or a family that they cannot terminate a pregnancy literally goes through child birth... they have absolutely no right whatsoever to claim they have authority over the woman's body. How long ago was it we forced men (and/or women) to be drafted into war? Do we (in the U.S.) still do that, or is it kind of against a person's actual human rights?

Again: I know a word like authority has this strange ability to twist definition in the minds of certain people. But, as for me, the objective facts leave me a total of zero moral qualms about suggesting it's better for society as a whole to continue viewing unborn clumps of cells as exactly that and nothing more.

A guy actually gets to keep his life after dealing with a cop. That's progress.

Oh, wait- he was probably just white.

@Drwas:

What a SAD, Pathetic life you must have!

@raphjd:

Does anyone still wonder why I #WalkAway?!

Well, obviously. Next he'll be telling us about how victimized the super-rich billionaires are just because they're not well-known celebrities. He reaches for the likes of Colin K because they're public. Forget who's pulling the strings behind the scenes.

dickless

Wow, look how mad you get when people have a different opinion than you. You can't have a civil discussion - even with yourself, you have to stamp your feet like a child while calling other people children.

But, I wouldn't call you dickless. No, you might even be a hot stupid old man. I might even be touching myself reading your stupid crap as we speak. After all- I'm white too. And cis gendered. And male. But unlike you, I don't think we need to take rights away from others to keep our own privileges. I don't think it makes sense to demand gay rights and piss in the faces of women, black people, trans people- etc. I don't feel good when I offend people. That's how a psychopath thinks. Or a selfish asshole.

Be as selfish as you want to be, it will never make you right. Or tough.

Black victims of racial profiling and police brutality are in no way responsible for working conditions in sweatshops.

Stop asking people to ignore racial profiling and police brutality in America.

Also, these pathetic protesters burning Nike merchandise? Tell me where the hell they were when the children were working in the sweatshops and black Americans were being tormented by the thug bully police department for just having black skin? You only speak up now. Now that Nike is giving a bigger platform to raise awareness of this problem do you speak out…

Big shocker. Black power is offensive? Don't pretend we don't see right through you.

You really love talking to yourself.

@raphjd:

Fuck them and their constant shewing of hate and lies.

All I see coming from you is hatred and lies, so funny you don't have irony where you come from.

@raphjd:

LOl, typical fag feminist.

The only thing typical here is how you go on in one post about how you claim your opponents never debate you, but you respond to one who does by insulting them and devolving into ad-hominem and baseless, presumptuous accusations. We just met, you don't know jack sh*t about me.

How do you get ahead in the meritocracy that way? Oh, that's right: by saying you do with no factual proof or actual gains whatsoever. Like Fox! News, you yell louder and act more aggressive. A debate is not a contest, it's an exchange of ideas in a civilized manner and you threw civility right out the window. All of my points were debatable and I would have stuck around for someone who argues in good faith. But, people won't engage with clowns. Least of all I won't engage with a clown.

I'll be around in case you grow up and want to have a real discussion later. For now: buh-bye.

Honkeys be doing the crimes, black people dindu nuffin

The best way to "make" any point is obviously to talk like a brat from the 60's on the school playground. What was that post you did about the childish left again?

This makes you look like you never had a legitimate point. You just wanted to be racist and to flaunt how basic your sense of humor is.

@raphjd:

Ah, so in your racism of low expectations, you are saying that the brown people in Venezuela aren't capable of doing socialism right, but white America is.

If you reply to my posts, you have to actually engage with that post's content. You can't completely defer to an issue you claim you have greater knowledge in thinking that supports your argument better.

I never brought up Venezuela. Because I was replying to a previous poster who was talking about capitalism in - I believe - a capitalist nation.

Now you're claiming I'm a racist because I'm staying on-topic and because I realize that different people run things differently. To say nothing of how the video in my source argued that we could still live in a functioning economy under capitalism, once purged of its crony components.

Is this forum just your audition to be the new Milo Yiannopoulos?

@raphjd:

Trump fucked an ADULT porn star.

You mean: he also f***ed an adult porn star. He sexually harassed several women, has admitted it on audio recordings we have all heard, and is accused of raping women AND he also fucked an adult porn star. You don't get to replace the crimes with a legal thing. That isn't how reality works. He did both.

Don't even think of defending this guy because it's not happening.

Also: if Asia Argento goes down, which she probably deserves, the boy goes too. He sent her nude photos of himself before she ever did anything with him for years without her permission which is an aggressive act on his part. Also, the charge of "grooming" doesn't hold up because he tried to lure her in, both with photographs and by begging her to go to bed with him, telling her he'd had a fantasy of her for some time.

She may be disgraceful for doing this because as a culture, we cannot allow adult relationships with minors but he claims he was a victim of something he literally spent years coercing her into doing. She did nothing to his mind, unless they want to bring up the production of the film they made together: The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things and claim she started manipulating him there. But no one is alleging they had a close relationship off the set of that film until he started sending her messages and photos.

This is all gross business but in no way can this 22-year old be let off the hook for his pushing this to happen. We're talking precedent and influence and he is benefitting off of a culture that tells young men to run after women of any age, force them to be submissive to men, wolf-howl fist-pump sporting-event encourage and bully men into sex before they're ready to have it THEN blame women for every tiny little thing that goes wrong. Any feeling men have that they don't like, they blame women for. Even though they were so red hot to start having sex.

SEX HAS CONSEQUENCES. We tell women that but not men. This stupid fing idiot 22-year old has to pay the price if we insist heads must roll. It's only fair we hold them both accountable for the same thing. Otherwise, because again this sexist ass culture only blames women and lets men off the hook- it's only encouraging the same thing to keep happening again and again without solving the problem. You hate feminism so much? What's your mf*ing solution, genius? Because you don't care about a solution. You only care about watching women burn, you're only into the witch hunt. Women are the only ones who ever burn. "Vindication" is not going to teach men what they're doing wrong. Even if they get older women into bed before they're ready to have sex, we still teach them that's something they should be proud of.

Why don't you fight that? The last thing feminism is doing is encouraging men to have more reckless sex!!

You think people losing their jobs in an incredibly unstable economy is a cause for celebration?

Are you certified yet? Because, you may be a psychopath.

@raphjd:

I thought socialism was the left's utopian dream?!   I guess it's a "shit joke" by the left, then.

Of course, it's real people.   Real people that the left denies (or ignores) are suffering under their utopian dream.

Wealth inequality and inequity is capitalism's design. The video I showed you is a detailing of the suffering America is experiencing under capitalism- that is the system we're living in now, and the only segment of the left that supports it is the corporate left. Because, get this, they're rich.

We've never had socialism in America. Everyone on the gd* planet knows that.

Are you high or something? Because that wasn't even a joke. Nobody mistakes capitalism for socialism.

@raphjd:

Ah, so we become Venezuela and everything will become wonderful.

I see you think this sh*t's a joke (America-warning, this is another video centered around America.

Youtube Video

These are real people. Real. Does that mean nothing to you?

Maleficent, Ursula, Jafar, Madam Mim, Prince John, Sir Hiss, Cruella, the Heffalumps and Woozles, The Headless Horseman, The Queen of Hearts, Willie the Giant, The Wolf in Peter and the Wolf, Chernabog (from Fantasia), Iago, Captain Hook and Smee, the Hag / Old Peddler Woman, the Siamese Cats, Edgar the Butler, Anastasia and Drusilla.

They're all so good, I don't want to choose!

But, to cheat a little bit: Doc Terminus from Pete's Dragon. The original.

Very!

If I like it, I play it. That can very well go back as far as the 1930's. Which is, can be a challenging time period with which to find - let's say - mp3's. I will, of course, admit that listening to music that old is a novelty for the most part. But I was born in the 80's and, so, the late 80's, the entire 1990's, and the early 2000's was just a giant mess of other people's nostalgia. Retro. Throwback. You name it. Every icon of my and your childhood was obsessed with retro: Madonna, Warren Beatty, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Disney, John Hughes, Spielberg, Zemeckis, Coppolla, Scorcese, Kubrick, De Palma, Gilliam, Tim Burton, Oliver Stone, Spike Lee, Jonathan Demme, Rose McGowan, Rob Zombie- it goes on for some time this list. The culture makers programmed us to be comfortable with music from every period of time.

Of course, then Mtv turned to shit and the culture was swallowed up by Laguna Beach, The Hills, Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club, and the like- and the appreciation for classic anything died.

Ehhh. I'm not there yet.

I'm still enamored with Nicki Minaj, who has a lot more to say and do. I don't even know if she's done her best yet. People don't even know she has songs like "I Lied" which is the best mainstream artist contribution to popular music of 2015. But it was packaged in a lousy video compilation because, image. Arg. Oh, well. Cardi B is very much some music industry jerkwad in a suit's replacement for Nicki because Nicki actually expects to control her own music. Cardi is a quick cash-out performer who doesn't care who tells her to do what, where, and when. Tailor made to fit a mold. I hope she has fun and entertains people. But, I'm looking for something that will last. Someone with substance. Nicki has that talent. Cardi B, I very much doubt she does.

Man… if not, what do you jerk it to? Other than porn.

Is it weird to get hot to men wearing clothes? Hell no. So, why would it be weird to jerk off during guys doing physical things?

It wouldn't be.

Though, the view would have to be great. If you know what I mean.

The best at showcasing men would be the one where they wear the least clothing, obviously.

So: wrestling, easily. But only the performers who wear speedos or whose butts are so big, you just can't hide their thunder / muscle away.

Yeah: easily soccer (European football), or rugby

Anything with the legs. Fast movement of/with the legs. Tennis is a big one too. If the guys cut their hair.

Wrestling is #3.
