yeh its such a hard convo bc theres a drastic divide between theists and atheists

ive never asked her, but my mother probably believes that its a human with a soul from the very beginning

but for me, its a bunch of cells inside someones body. even when it looks human, its just a bunch of cells. its her body. nothing more
I appreciate the levelheaded response. Understand that in all cases that I argue online, it is never to intentionally hurt someone. I see no value in that and I am a believer in karma.

I am also anti abortion.

Who can be pro abortion? That's one sick mind set.

I've been party to it twice. Once with an ex girlfriend ( not my seed BTW) but she opened up one day and wanted to explain. She had no need but wanted to get it off her chest. I'm not going to share why she did it. That's her business. But it was a massive decision. And the right one.

The other was mine, well my wife's and mine and again its no one's else's business.

So any fundamental Christian can fuck off. Literal Taliban.

This is a hill I will die on.
I also have humility and understand that I have not experienced what others have. It is not for me to judge, so if you feel that I have done so, or I have offended you in any way, I apologize. Not in my character to put others down in any way. But I'd like the common courtesy in exchange for understanding that I have a different opinion than you do on the subject. Then if it's all the same, we can drop it.

I apologise if I've come on too strong

I know from your postings you are an even soul. And a good person.

No offence was intended.

Its just a thing I genuinely rail against. Until your in that situation you can't really know.

I apologise again for being a bit extra.

side note about the vaccine

i have no gotten the vaccine yet as i am self-employed and dont want to risk having to take a couple days off if i get a little sick

but with that said, theres a big flaw going around about the vaccine right now from right wing politicians, pundits, and influencers

and thats that people who have gotten the vaccine still show positive with the virus

and they are right. that happens. but its a very misleading argument

the vaccine wasnt designed to prevent infection. it was designed to prevent symptomatic disease

in other words, they were not designed to prevent people from being infected. they were designed to save lives of those who are infected and simultaneously prevent the spread of the virus

@Splinty - am i mistaken?

I actually think we had it again 2 weeks ago. Both double jabbed. I think our 3 old gave it to us.

Symptoms were we needed a nap in the afternoon for 2 days.

Do you support free healthcare and measures to fight child poverty (eg. child tax benefits or free meal programs) also?
Yeah. People fall on hard times and some people were born into hard times. A lot. If you're baiting me into some socialism argument, I don't have the time. I'm about to head out for the day. But before I go, when you look at some countries "progressive" policies, the taxes they pay is mind blowing. I don't know how anyone has any money left to spend. Later gator.

Biden battles Russian hacking groups with restrictions on IT firms
The United States on Friday took a new stab at Russia's cybersecurity industry, restricting trade with four information technology firms and two other entities over "aggressive and harmful" activities - including digital espionage - that Washington blames on the Russian government.

A Commerce Department posting said the six entities were sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in April, which targeted companies in the technology sector that support Russian intelligence services.

Not trying to bait you into anything.

Just trying to understand where the concern from many ends once a child is born.

Preciate you've got to go but if 17% of your military spending went into health.

You'd have more funding than any health spend than any nation in the world.

Priorities?

But then how would we be able to meddle in and destabilize every other nation that we choose to toy with and make enemies of so that we can continue to fund the machine?

I don't know about where you are, but that's the crux of the social program problem around these parts. Our local housing prices have gotten to the point that the middle class struggles to buy a home, which was always a benchmark of being middle class. The local municipal government talks about needing affordable housing but not having any money for it. They then turn around and give a $3 million grant for a company to build a new Porsche dealership. Taxes wouldn't bother me if I ever felt they were being used for things that were worthwhile.

Wait, so you don't think Haliburton really cares about diversity?

That was a hard left turn.

The fuck you talkin about?
And who is Lauren?
The Republican lady who tweeted abortion is not healthcare.

The same lady whose husband was arrested for flashing his dick at a child.

You know that one you keep saying you ‘wood’…

I remember Jesus talking a lot about the benefits of trickle-down economics and how low wages make people motivated to be better and how the love of money is the root of all good, and not a lot of talk about helping the poor.
