Respect life doesn’t mean being a vegetarian.
Plants are living too, but sure I guess milk does get to be included in that diet.
You can respect life and human life and still eat meat if that is where you are going.
I don't respect animals I consume for my dinner. I doubt many people do.
And if humans respected other humans lives as valuable perhaps there would be less murders and especially less abortion
Good thing human lives are not valuable a priori, and I am Exhibit A for that thesis.
even perhaps respect act of sex
Do you respect your desire to breathe? As much as I consider degradation of family a tragedy, you don't get to respect your biological drive without abstracting from it somehow. I guess humans are given that opportunity.
Imagine if humanity was taught to respect all life where we would be.
Dead from hunger. Or, more reasonably, we would throw this stupid idea away the minute our stomach reminds us.
Honestly: I don't know.
Even more honestly: of what little I know, I would not go there to live if you paid me.
Sadly we are too incompetent to conquer anything. We're lucky we don't end up with rest of Siberia being bought up under the table.
Let's be clear: this Russian text has a whole paragraph dedicated to defending Russia's great illegal immigrant population on the sole ground they are men.
Exactly, they exploited a weakness in liberal/democratic systems
Weakness of liberal systems has less to do with "everyone gets a voice" (because that's a blatant lie when we get to scale of mass communication) and more with "most impactful decisions are still made by handful of actors who shall bear no direct consequences of them". As such, it will inevitably get rotten. I won't even bother addressing democracy.
Your example falls apart at a simple issue: where will you pick those "best people available" if they are all the same?
Temporal chauvinism is always there, simply because it's the best tool we have when it comes to judging significance of historical event.
I repeat: Arrow's theorem.
Democracies cannot function
bad journalism makes issue worse, but Arrow's theorem never went anywhere.
Socrates did not bear witness to societies of no writing if he had gal to state this.
HR gotta HR, this is a common problem in the industry in general, woke bullshit just makes it more obvious.
And in case of DDG, significantly more obvious.
Nothing is safe from self-destructive instinct of human beings.
I agree, but the thing about humans is that coherent arguments are not what gets us going, appeal to either straight chemistry or more complex process in emotion does.
I'm really struggling to see why someone like Nicki Minaj is standing up for this.
She's a vain being with fragile ego and little mind, it is perfectly obvious why she does that. Sometimes truth of the world is that simple.
Most of the moral problems are not problems if you don't think abortion is bad.
Sure, if it will actually be similar to abortion in the sense of getting embryos... errr, donated.
A society that allows abortion will have a harder time keeping the lid on this.
Are you trying to sell me even more on abortion? No need to, my position on it is already pretty utilitarian.
If the technology is there
Given the sheer scale of moral problems with just developing this... will it ever be there in public eye?
One can make an argument that this is the best case scenario in any government.
I feel like I did break spirit of rule 16 so deletion is fair, but formally is not my comment more of implying some identity group is superior (the same way blacks make better NBA stars, fight me), rather than attacking them as inferior or implying their conspiracy?
Complains about Racism
Well, it does take a whole lot of anti-white racism to award this with title of 'Miss Ireland'.
Well, if you are going to claim every living being with brain cells is conscious...
Congratulations, you just made late term abortions look better than any abortion enthusiast ever did.
If you don't, why should anyone take your opinion seriously on matters of the soul such as this?
I am glad to know we are not allowed to criticise jihad anymore, because nobody should take our opinion on having post-mortem reward for blowing yourself up seriously.
Trump is part of unelected DC bureaucracy and it's surrounding social class now?
