I wasn't making a snide remark. An honest opinion of the negative side of hookup culture.Neither is judging consenting adults for how many people they want to sleep with you weirdo
The virgin comment was more directed at the other absolute weirdo, but you still came across pretty badly too
The post you were "defending" did, in very poor taste. Even if the virgin dig is a bit cheap, it was very soft compared to what it was in reaction to. So I guess I found it a bit odd you'd react to it.Well good thing I didn't
"There is a wider issue of rape culture and promiscuity that leads to unwanted pregnancies and to some degree necessitates birth control. Again, it is up to us to fix that.

I react to it because the poster was forming a link between promiscuity and abortions. I knew he was going to get shat on till oblivion so as someone who does believe in the negative aspects of promiscuity/hookup culture I felt in good position to show that it has nothing to do with abortions or rape or so on.The post you were "defending" did, in very poor taste.

You're quoting a post someone else made, that I have already replied to on a previous page, with the words agree or disagree used in the reply and asking me if I agree with this."There is a wider issue of rape culture and promiscuity that leads to unwanted pregnancies and to some degree necessitates birth control.

It's anyone's guess as to why we don't do that anyway, especially when it is to everyone's benefit. We don't encourage people to smoke cigarettes and we limit alcohol advertising, so why don't we advise people, particularly at a young age, to get married and have a family. Instead we genuflect culturally to a kind of degrading hedonism that leaves people broken, mentally damaged, and isolated. Some of these people have to convince themselves, against inevitable doubts, that they were right to abort an unborn child that they had conceived and succoured, a life that relied exclusively on them and survived and existed only because of them"
You agree with that?
I was double checking because it's pretty damn vile. Thanks for clarifying that you weren't agreeing accidentally.You're quoting a post someone else made, that I have already replied to on a previous page, with the words agree or disagree used in the reply and asking me if I agree with this.
Not sure what that has to do with anything, but I never said that.I think you've surpassed your frozen meals being cheaper than home cooked meals comments here.
Fair enough.I react to it because the poster was forming a link between promiscuity and abortions. I knew he was going to get shat on till oblivion so as someone who does believe in the negative aspects of promiscuity/hookup culture I felt in good position to show that it has nothing to do with abortions or rape or so on.
I don't see what's odd about that
Oh dear.Abortion, in my opinion, is simply wrong. The same as destroying any nascent life is wrong.
The fact that the foetus is not yet a fully-fledged human being is irrelevant. It is life in its most vulnerable form and in its most invioble state (within a womb) being killed.
Yes, there are cases where the life of the mother may be jeopardized by giving birth, but the act of killing foetuses is one that we should not just casually dismiss as a society, nor encourage.

The level of mental trauma that must exist for doctors and mothers who go through abortions cannot be underestimated.
If you well and truly don't want a relationship then makes sense to just hook up with someone but in my experience a lot of the times its guys leading women on when they are hopeful it can become more (and I guess vice versa sometimes). Not to mention one party now starts forming feelings and what not. Just so you know my general dislike for Tinder and the like doesn't come from "stop having sex!". I feel there is too much focus on sex and sexual attraction which causes problems especially for those who want a relationship.Fair enough.
I'm curious about something though, unrelated to abortion. If someone has no desire to be in a relationship, and assuming they have a normal sex drive, what are the alternatives to hookups and porn?

Funny thing is, abortion was legal in British American colonies (when leeches were commonly used)Yes, and women shall not initiate eye contact with any male except theirownerhusband. We should also bring leeches back as a form of medical treatment.
Just to be clear my only desire is there be a term limit.
I saw you mentioning term limits but didn't realize you ultimately felt that the decision should not have been overturned. We're finding more common ground now.Roe vs Wade overturned on the other hand is simply dumb.
A separate thread would definitely be more appropriate. I bet it would be a great debate.I think in general as a species we are twats to animals for no reason and it's a real shame but at the end of the day, I can't put the value of an animal life before a human. It's a long topic though and I'm sure whatever I just said is full of counters. Maybe another thread would be suited for it.

Was new to the thread so missed any previous!It was a sarcastic reference to this, but I realize that may not have been clear.

Was thinking the same. Thank god I'm not a daughter of folks like that.I hope you don't have any daughters.
Yeah that decision is obviously ridiculous. It's obvious the main motive for some of these states is to outright ban abortion. A 10 week limit or whatever it is they have is meaningless and same as just banning abortion.I saw you mentioning term limits but didn't realize you ultimately felt that the decision should not have been overturned. We're finding more common ground now.
I have a feeling other posters don't realize that when coming at you. Perhaps now is not the time to try and reason your thoughts on term limits when we've got a lot of emotions running on the more blanketed ban.
A separate thread would definitely be more appropriate. I bet it would be a great debate.
Even so, something like 80k votes across three key states would have swung it in her favour anyway - in a country of 320 million, that's a drop in the ocean. Stating that she was 'never going to win' is, well, stupid.She also ran one of the worst campaigns in my memory. Ignoring the midwest and assuming those states were in the bag was (and proved to be) suicidal.
If you want to see the lengths to which illegal, underground abortion providers went to try to offer safe abortions in the years leading up to Roe, check out ‘The Janes’ on HBO. Sobering watch.Yeah that decision is obviously ridiculous. It's obvious the main motive for some of these states are to outright ban abortion. A 10 week limit or whatever it is they have is meaningless and same as just banning abortion.
Besides, this is just going to end up in more nasty DIY abortions that I don't even wanna imagine.
Absolutely agree. She should have won, but neglecting WI and MI was just stupid.Even so, something like 80k votes across three key states would have swung it in her favour anyway - in a country of 320 million, that's a drop in the ocean. Stating that she was 'never going to win' is, well, stupid.
https://joycearthur.com/abortion/the-only-moral-abortion-is-my-abortion/I think the way to solve this is to develop a method of transferring embryos from womb to womb. All we need is to register all the pro-life ladies into a lottery and bam, no more need for abortion.....until the first time the lottery winner is not ready for a baby and will have to make sacrifices to carry the unplanned child.
“In 1990, in the Boston area, Operation Rescue and other groups were regularly blockading the clinics, and many of us went every Saturday morning for months to help women and staff get in. As a result, we knew many of the ‘antis’ by face. One morning, a woman who had been a regular ‘sidewalk counselor’ went into the clinic with a young woman who looked like she was 16-17, and obviously her daughter. When the mother came out about an hour later, I had to go up and ask her if her daughter’s situation had caused her to change her mind. ‘I don’t expect you to understand my daughter’s situation!’ she angrily replied. The following Saturday, she was back, pleading with women entering the clinic not to ‘murder their babies.'”
“My first encounter with this phenomenon came when I was doing a 2-week follow-up at a family planning clinic. The woman’s anti-choice values spoke indirectly through her expression and body language. She told me that she had been offended by the other women in the abortion clinic waiting room because they were using abortion as a form of birth control, but her condom had broken so she had no choice! I had real difficulty not pointing out that she did have a choice, and she had made it! Just like the other women in the waiting room.”
Yeah, they were married for 50 years...Seems some romantice the old age, when you had to marry and stay with your husband until death even if it was hell for both. My grandparents both would not have stayed married if they lived today - and that would have probably the best mentally for them...
I'd argue that for late teens/20-somethings, a single/promiscuous lifestyle is much healthier emotionally than trying to force this outdated notion of early marriage and kids. At least among those I know around my age, all the worst marriages that ended in divorce and led to all kinds of problems (primarily for the ones with kids) were people that married their "high school sweetheart" or someone before age 25. People think they know what they want then, but usually they don't and/or it changes dramatically throughout their 20s. This Victorian era ideal, IMO, turned out the worst scenarios for people. The healthy marriages I know are pretty much all 30+ when people really know who they are and what they want out of life. Obviously, there will be exceptions on both sides since everyone is different.Is there even any evidence at all that leading a "promiscuous" lifestyle is any more mentally/ emotionally taxing then being legally married/ settled down with a partner?
Or are some posters just projecting their idea of what makes them content on to others?
To be fair, to some I've met and read, it really is about God and morality because they are true believers.this whole 'pro-life' argument has nothing to do with God or morality or the children. its all about control and power and money. lets be honest Jesus wouldnt piss on some of these evangelicals if they were on fire. whenever the mormons (doing there door to door thing) pop by (young american white men always), i ask them do they really believe Jesus would be a gun-toting flag waving capitalist if he was in the states today? would he really want to be part of the MAGA crowd?

None of those things invalidate the argument of course, but they do suggest the quality of thought involved.
