The cost of many foods are already unbearable. If we eliminate the farms, we make it harder to get access to these meats. I know there is an argument that we do not need meat however, is it really within our rights to force the general population to turn vegetation?
are you suggesting that abortions are already "outside the law"?
No.....I was responding to the post that "people will just get illegal abortions anyway" I was simply pointing out that is not a good reason to keep or make something legal.
"Besides, making certain recreational drugs legal allow certain societies to control it better"
Considering these drugs are NOT legal, you have no proof to back that statement up. Secondly, you cannot compare the 2. Abortions would most likely go down if it was illegal as most people would be too scared to do them illegally.
OK first off, I was referring to your comment about childrens feelings. Secondly, in every case you mention, violence is not needed. As I already mentioned, if you are talking about strict discipline, I agree, if you are talking about hitting someone, then I disagree.
Hitting children should always be an option - never completely disregarded and never abused. Some parent manage to raise a kid straight without beating them - great. Some parents manage to raise a kid straight while beating them - great.
NO, hitting should not be an option. The parents that feel this is needed, should learn a thing or two from the parents which you point out, can raise their children without violence.
BTW you CAN respect AND fear a person. Just so you know.\
Yes you can. Parents are not one of those people. You should LOVE and respect your parents, not fear them.
The education system is probably the best example of how their feelings play the biggest role.
Could you provide an example?
I'm sorry... your second paragraph just shows you're sitting their with stupid questions but not answers...
Questions you seem to avoid answering.
Being interested in psychology you should have a clue about how many westerners are obsessed with their feelings and how it filters through the whole society.
In what way?
For someone who is attacking others, you seem to lack facts and reasoning yourself.
Ofcourse feelings have an importance - doesn't mean the world should run on them.
I noticed you avoided the question about whether you are a parent. I assume not, because you do not understand the connection between a child and parents feelings. Your child being upset, angry, scared etc, will make you feel all the same things. Now, that doesn't mean they should get whatever they want but, at the same time, they should feel that their parents care about them.
And no I don't just mean raising a child or beating a child. I mean in everything. Education, work, home, law, police etc. I feel the world has gone too soft.
I agree that the world has gone too soft, I just don't agree with hitting a child in any circumstance. If by tough love, you mean strict discipline I agree with you.
Why not fear your parents or more accurately fear the consequence of bad behavior?
I do not feel fear should exist when it comes to parents. I have always listened to my parents, even in adulthood and I have never feared them. The only thing I feared was disappointing the two people that would do and give anything for me to be happy and successful. Teaching respect will get you a lot further than fear.
Especially these days when kids think that the world runs on their fucking feelings.
This is one of the most ignorant comments I have read. Are you a parent? Of course a parent must worry for their child's feelings! If they don't, who will?
Assuming we are talking about hitting a child, it is completely unnecessary. There are many means of punishment and discipline that do not involve violence such as, grounding, taking away privileges etc. The problem is that this involves a parents discipline as well because they must be diligent in enforcing these punishments. So, in the end, they just turn to violence. A child should never fear their parents. They should respect them.
Speaking as a muslim who is a born Canadian, with immigrant parents, extremists like the woman you mention, are just disgusting. You are right, she is the racist.
I do think I should be able to keep my culture while living in a western country though. There is a very fine line though because, if I expect YOU to respect my beliefs, I then must respect YOURS.
Just because a culture/religion tells someone to eat, dress and act a certain way, does not give them the right to attack others who do not agree.
It is very important to wait till marriage as the article above points out. The sexual promiscuity of today's society, is one of the major reasons that divorce rates and single parenting rates continue to skyrocket. Sex is something that is meant to be shared with that special someone.
Why the fuck is it considered racist if idon't believe in interracial marriage FUCK THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!
If you choose to marry within your own race, that is your choice. IF you believe it is wrong for OTHERS to marry, then it is racism.
I am no racist but i do believe we should marry within our race because if we were born white we were meant to have white children and the same if we were born black that is not racist if i was racist i would have a nigger hangin from a 13 knot noose as my profile picture! And o ya there is a difference between a nigger and a black man/woman. You don't have to be black to be a nigger.
Need I say more?? This statement in itself is racist. "We were meant to have white children" WTF does that even mean if its not racist?
There is no need to control the population because if the population became too large for our resources, people would start to die anyway. Secondly, the places that have the highest population are places that cannot afford to do anything about it anyway.
Also, there is no way to control the population unless we become Communist China!! It is outrageous to deny someone a child that they want because the world population is supposedly too high.
It is a parents responsibility to keep their children healthy but at the same time, the schools must make a bigger effort to promote healthy eating and proportion sizing in school. Schools are for learning so they should LEARN to eat healthy there as well.
No system is fail safe. The system you suggest will not really help them at all.
It should be enough if they don't have to pay it back with interest.
That is just outrageous, they got laid off or are starving so they should be thankful they are drowning in debt just because its not with interest? A government is not truly doing its job if it is not taking care of its people.
I am not disputing that productive people lead to success however, making them pay it back will set them back even further in the long run, therefore, making the rich richer and the poor poorer. It is possible to have strict regulation to prevent people from taking advantage without making them pay it back.
Such as, a required amount of resumes handed out and interviews a week, weekly or monthly checkups on people who are unsuccessful at finding jobs and you could even provide access to job placement agencies.
