unwed parenthood and divorce are much greater threats to society than gay marriage and adoption
I believe that they are the root of the problem, homosexuality, transexualism etc are just one of the many consequences of it.
I dont know if you were implying this but just because there are worse things is not a reason to allow such things
I had no idea the situation was that bad in the US, in France it is about 17,5% wich is not as bad, but still, damn
Well depends, I think the guy should always propose, the answer depends on the girl, and you can have a good idea of the kind of girl she is when its time to pay
For the first few dates I think they should split the fee, only if it gets serious the girl should accept that the guy pays for her
First of all thank you for your elaborate response
I'm french wich changes several things fro what you may think:
- while it is lagally possible for gay "married" people to adopt, it is near impossible for them because french psychologist consider it detrimental for the psychological well being off the child (link later on)
- surrogacy pregnancies are illegal for several reasons: the french constitutionnal court deemed it illegal because it is essentially give away a child for money (you can sugar coat it the way you want but essentially it boils down to that), and it raises additionnal bioethic problems
Gay marriage leads to surrogacy, the court of human rights is condemning us every few months trying to force us to change our legislation so it will probably be legal in a few years :(
I will continue to respond to this later on, but now I have a trin to take
Have a nice day!
Gay marriage doesn't pose any more of a danger than heterosexual marriage,
It actually does, because marriage gives them (or will give them) the right to adopt, and you need a man and a women to correctly raise a child
It is also bringing upp other issues such as (dunno the english term for it, but its when you pay a woman to carry your child), the french constitutionnal court outlawed it because it is essentially buying a human being, and it brings other problems such as "baby factories", making medecine out of unborn babies etc
I see what you mean, and I aggree with you it would be more effective to spend that money on equipment and other stuff; here he is showing his public support to the army wich his supporters will like, while promoting nationalistic feelings. I dont think it is about his ego, and the other countries of the world will perceive this not as Trump acting but an american display of power. With this parade americans have nothing or not much to loose and everything to gain
Depends what you do I suppose, and if you have other means of communications (gmail, facebook, carrier pigeon etc).
But in a general way I think you are right, I think it is ridiculus that kids get smartphones starting age 8, what are they going to do? Phone their friends to ask how pre school was?
Nomenclature you arent a 12 year old anymore, you need to grow upp. I cant imagine how sad your life must be if your only consolation is to come to this website to call people nazis. I'll pray for you buddy, hang in there
Have a nice day
Black lives do matter.
Trans men are not men, full stop
Trans women are not women, full stop
Do you want to ban free speech, question mark
Dunno a lot of jews so I dont really know, full stop
Hitler was a bad person but he did do good stuff, full stop
White people do benefit from white supremacy in white societies, full stop
Black people benefit from black supremacy in black societies, full stop
Patriarcal forms of oppression, question mark
I hope the world will get better, but we are going downhill for the moment, full stop
Have a nice day, exclamation mark
"Deserved" interesting wording, its not as if he posed a risk to national security or was involved in anything illegal; Obama just wanted to give a hand to Hillary because they are both democrats, what is the fine for abuse of power & tcheating during election times?
To be honest I've read it (didnt understand all of it so I may be wrong) and it would appear there is not much in it, they throw in a few minor names, that memo would have been more interesting if they drew out the consequences
Am I wright or did I miss something?
I agrree on what you said about basketball but not sure putting men and women in the same competitions is a good idea
Imagine a race with mixed genders: 3 men arrive first and then a woman in 4 th place, only one man would get a trophee and the woman would get one too; I can imagine the two other males runners would be mad bc they arrived before her and didnt get anything
I dont really see why its discriminating, if they are just gathering publicly available info, I dont know what they will be using the data for, but it can serve for medical prevention for example, as some races are more sensible to some kinds of deseases
Its ok if no one believes, I would understand if you didnt trust some random guy on the internet
Wont give too much details but it boils down to:
-family buys new house in the country, no neighbours
-old owner was apparetly into occult, had loads of black magic books stored under my room
- weird stuff start happening: locked doors banging, people talking in the middle of the night, baby crying, footsteps
I endured it for a few years unil things became really worse
Went to my grand parents house, when I come back my 8yo sister is terrified and tells me stuff that has been happening to her, (I thought I was the only one affected) so then I talk with the rest of my family and they had been having the same kind of sh*t (only not as bad as me) but wouldnt talk about it because they thought that everyone would think they were crazy
We ask to a priest to come and bless the house, and we never had any problems since
Well back in the days when islam was only a small cult (it may have started out to be a jewish sect, but that has not been proven) like all pagans they worshipped the stars, thats why their symbols are the moon, a star (venus I believe) and they worship the stone of the kabba wich is a meteorite
Studies show that children need loving parents
I have replied to this in another argument I have posted
Stupid, irrelevant nonsense. Straight, religious people are more likely to abuse kids than gay atheist ones. See the Catholic Church for evidence
I fail to see how this even responds to my argument, it is has nothing to do with religion (btw have you heard of the pizza gate?)
Marriage was around long before religion. You don't own marriage.
Are you arguing against fidelity during marriage? Why marry at all ? Can you please give your definition of marriage, you are rather confusing
Stupid, irrelevant nonsense.
Keep it polite
No, you're paying someone to carry a child through pregnancy with the agreement that you can adopt them and care for them
So I can go to Africa and pay a woman for her child provided I can take care of him? Yeah sure, not slavery, english traders in the 1800 would have been proud of you
mother can keep baby and arrange to repay the money
What if she cant pay the money back, what if her intention from the start was to keep the baby anyway?
Most kids with gay parents have shown to be happy, usually more-so than children of typical relationships. There are numerous studies on the subject
I can also point out numerous studies on the subject wich point out to the exact contrary, what do we do? (srly no one on a debating website uses this argument because everybody knows that research and polls can be oriented anyway you want them to) btw I have read a few of those studies
She made her choices.
True she made her choice: to give her baby against money
Stop talking nonsense
Please go get a degree in law like me
You are that shitty person
Thats pretty low of you, just because I dont agree with you does not give you any right to insult me, please be polite and act like a grown upp
Hi I'm a catholic, and I agrree with you. The church for quite some time has been screwing upp again and again, I believe it is partly because of the lack of severity of the last few popes (Francis in particular has been doing a terrible job)
Dont have the time to answer to everything at once so I will just start with:
PMA (medically assisted procreation) is leading the way to GPA (gestation for others)
GPA example: imagine a gay couple (2 men) they want a child of their own so they agree with a woman to inseminate her against remuneration
The many problems this may cause are:
1) technically you are buying a human being and thats called slavery
2) many young women would do this to pay for their studies, and legallly it is not different than prostitution because they are dispensing sexual favors against remuneration
3) payment is made before baby is born, so that mother can sustain financially the fact of no being able to work for some time, what if she wants to keep the child? Are we going to send the police to forcefully take a baby from its mother?
4)The child will know having two dads is not the natural way of things,are you going to tell him he's been bought?
5) Every mother has a natural right to her child, what if she wants to take him back after a few years?
6) filiation is one of the main cores of law, since you are "destroying" or filiation you are destroying all the other concepts that are linked to it, such as inheritance, familial support, education etc , and they will destroy the other concepts that are linked to them (this might be a little technical, but it is crucial for this question)
Dunno what general classes are but one thing is to be said: it seems the american education is pretty bad (My dad met someone who didnt know the US had a common border with Canada lol)
Could you please tell me how many hours per day students work, if they have homework, what are the main classes, days of vacation etc?
The brain makes sense of reality, it doesnt create it. A quick way for you to realize this would be to "construct a reality" for yourself in wich you have wings and then jump out of the window; you will have a serious R.E.A.L.I.T.Y check
You admit yourself she isnt a cat, what do you mean by that? That in your personnal reality she isnt really a cat? Or that there is one "superior" reality in wich she is just a delusioned person who thinks (or pretends ?) she is a cat?
Seriously, this is a very common error that was disproven since antiquity, and one of the reasons most of Descartes books are wrong, please read upp on this
Well since you said that she isnt a cat, I guess we must agree than trangendered people arent the gender they say they are?
One last point, lets say she does pay taxes, study, and doesnt hurt anyone: why should we feed her delusions? Its litterally the first rule in psychiatrict wards: "dont feed their delusions" or their problems will only get worse. Are you proposing we offer help only for those who are dangerous to other people?
Hi I'm in law school studying to be a police officer; ( I'm in France so the laws arent the same) I have seen a few lawyer tv shows and here are my thoughts on them
-the stories are realistic, but reality is even crazier: I once helped one of my teachers on this case where another teacher or my university was being accused for the murder of his wife who had ties to the local mob (I'm pretty sure it was the lover who did it though)
-they dont show enough paperwork, its a never ending avalanche, how do they even have time for other things?
- they all know the law too well, you cant just memorize all of it, even an experienced lawyer needs time and reaserch before going to court to defend case
- pick your lawyer wisely there are terribly incompetent ones around
-Because of theese series people know the american law better, there are many cases people ask us to sue the police because they entered in their house without a warrant: we are not in america, and youll get a lawyer and your phone call when the police agrees to it dammit
Have a nice day ! :)
Probably, but humanity would have died off if women wouldnt be able cook, clean clothes and nagging you to do stuff
Another advantage of women is that they know where everything is, in that field they have some kind of omniscient power: how did she know my dirty clothes were stuffed under my bed?
Putin is a very good guy (in the sense of competent) he got russia back onto its feet after the end of ussr, slowly destroyed the enarchs controling the contry and is bringing back russia on the international scene, futhermore France an russia have been allies since the 11th century until 1917. The west sided with america because it was the only power that could stand upp to the socialism of urss, but now the US feel like they are even worse and are spreading their decadent mindset without anyone to oppose them
I can understand that this might sound like heresy for americans, but for us democracy just isnt working out: thing are getting worse and worse with every election as morons who are following their globalist agenda are destroying what my people have lived and died for more than a thousand of years. The way thing are going now my country is headed for a full scale civil war and the only way to counter that or to put an end to the war would be to have a strong dictatorial government wich is probably the lesser of two evils(?)
Forgive me, this is the rant of a kinda depressed cruz :(
Drugs do go back for thousands of years,but not in the west where they are only 2-3 centuries old; and their use was frowned upond for the same reasons they are today.
Alcohol being around for longer of course doesnt make it legitimate of course, but its use is so widespread that it would be impossible to ban it (same for tobacco, wich isnt that new = 16th century)
Just because we are making no progress doesnt mean we should give upp. In fact it gives a very bad image of the government: "Well since we cant stop people of doing something illegal lets just make it legal" Imagine it applied to other matters...
A difference between alcohol and majijuana is that you cant be perpetually drunk (hangovers) and it will be really annoying for people around you so you refrain. While you can be perpetually stoned and it wont really affect those around you, chances are most people are nicer when they are stoned! (anecdote: this guy in my class has been showing upp completely smashed since september, I wonder how he got through the exams)
Quick facts:
-drugs and alcohol are VERY bad for your health if taken together, wich will happen if drugs are legalized
-The stats of my country show that the people which are most likely to take drugs are between the ages of 16 to 22, ie students, wich impairs the brain and has negative effects on the long term ( research in english: https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/
The fact that it is legalized or not doesnt change anything for the countries that produce it, in fact it probably makes it worse. The drug lords work hand in hand with the authorities because they share the revenue; sometimes the drug lords are so powerfull that the government couldnt do anything even if they wanted to.
As you said more people will be using drugs but the health of drugs users will go upp, dunno though if the "overall" health of the nation will go upp but thats not really the point
Most importantly drugs and more specifically majijuana is a dangerous slope: if you legalize it why not permit things like cocaine or heroin, of course its bad for your health but tabacco and alcohol are probably worse, and its my body I can do anything I want with it; I dont think you aggree with this but think of people a few generation from now who think that smoking pot is as normal as having candy
Answer honestly what good, what qualities will it bring out of people? Seems a very dangerous bargain with not much to win and everything to loose
Have a nice day!
(PS: how do you write in bold?)
Interesting: cyber warfare could be a new way to wage war, it would be a race between the hackers of 2 countries to cut off the ennemies population of water, electricity etc
I'm pretty sure the US, and all the countries in the world do the same
Although I must say I think it would be advantageous for european countries to break away from the american alliance and ally with russia what do you think?
It affects society in several ways (I wont detail much but feel free to ask questions if interested)
-gay marriage will give them the right to adopt (children need a mother and a father)
-creates legal problems (see "presumtion of paternity")
- PMA (medically assisted procreation) is leading the way to GPA (gestation for others)
-One of its greatest arguments is that marriage is built on love wich isnt true ;such thinking could lead to polygamie, marrying underrage kids (happened in Italy), incest
-Destroys the fidelity associated with marriage
Some of the terminology used is probably wrong (not english) dont hesitate dont correct me. Have a nice day!
