I see that TJ is still a eugenicist. Abortion rights shouldn't be tied to eugenics to begin with.
Also, TJ's story is not persuasive in the least. Plenty of people with Downs syndrome live contented, even fruitful lives. Plenty even defy expectations heaped upon them.
My grandma on my mom's side, before she died, was taking care of a person with down syndrome. Did they smile a lot? Sure. Did they have childlike innocence? Yeah.
You know what else? When given a pizza to eat at the age of 30, they struggled to get it into their mouths. They ended up covered in sauce, flailing the pizza around with a imbecilic look on their face. Then, a few years later, they died. Because life expectancy for them is short (although, science had figures out ways to make it longer for some reason).
When I hear this debate, all I think about is the indignity of watching this 30-year-old toddler in an adult body, slamming pizza against their face because they can't figure out where their fucking mouth is.
@SeanCarleton The conversation about reconciliation is one that needs to continue with respectful and serious dialogue. It has often fallen short, but limiting speech will only further polarization. Respectfully I also don’t believe it has been increasing at the alarming rate of antisemitism.
@Gsscancun@kim_siever Did you gloss over the fact that, going off of this figure alone, minimum wage has gone up by less than five dollars in 40 god-damned years?
This demonstrates that the CPI has increased at a far greater rate than the minimum wage rate, and it keeps on doing so.
Do not pass go.
@Gsscancun@kim_siever Your talking points are not only old hat, but have been debunked by far more competent people than myself, doubly so in your case.
@QcMcleod@TheRealRoccodg@Tori_TLCR Exhibit No. 9001 of how those in Maxime Bernier's Vanity Club don't have a factual or honest bone in their bodies.
You're way too fixated on culture war bullshit to take seriously, beyond making jests at your expense.
Pride month does not deserve to be used by the capitalist apparatus to generate revenues. It's not some saccharine dross like "Live Laugh Love." It's not seasonal merch that gets phased out come the arrival of July. It's not for vapid western liberals to tokenize for points.
