you just called the thing retarded and then immediately defended it with the exact logic that lets people get locked in a cage for a decade for fucking the wrong gender. That’s not nuance. That’s intellectual cowardice with a thesaurus.
“Have your opinion. DO NOT let it happen in your country.”
Translation: “I think throwing people in prison for consensual adult sex is disgusting… but only if it happens to people who look like me or live near me. Once the ocean is involved, suddenly it’s ‘culture’ and we have to respect the local flavor of tyranny.”
That’s not principled non-intervention. That’s the moral equivalent of watching someone get beaten in the street and saying “well it’s not my sidewalk.”
And then the pièce de résistance: “THE PROBLEM TODAY is people worry too much about what’s happening in other countries ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ instead of their own country !!”
Ah yes. The classic “mind your own business” from a guy who felt the need to reply to a post about Senegal in the first place. You weren’t minding your own business, Paul. You were in the replies performing moral relativism like it’s a personality.
Human rights aren’t a regional specialty dish. You don’t get to say “in this culture we just happen to imprison people for who they sleep with and that’s valid.” That’s not respect for culture. That’s just outsourcing your backbone.
You can oppose Western cultural imperialism and still think locking adults in cages for private sex is grotesque. Those two ideas are not mutually exclusive. Only people who’ve never had a principle stronger than “don’t make me uncomfortable” think they are.
So yes, Paul. The law is disgusting. Your response was also disgusting — just in a quieter, more cowardly, “please don’t call me intolerant” way.
@Seergiot3ck Se llama libertad de expresión y es un puto torneo de fútbol no es como que México estuvo en una guerra actual y perdió y ella celebra, como mexicano digo que no sean tan sensibles y ridículos
@IfindRetards If Somalia is so lit, there’s a direct flight. Pack the matching outfits, the giant foreheads, and the scripted chants, and go build the utopia instead of cosplaying revolutionaries in Minnesota parking lots.
Atheists (and scientists) don’t claim “it’s all pure random chance.” That’s a strawman. Modern cosmology and physics involve laws, quantum fields, inflation, possible multiverses, etc. Abiogenesis research is making progress. Evolution is extremely well-understood.
Even if the universe were finely tuned, “God did it” doesn’t explain anything. It just raises bigger questions: Who designed God? Why this God and not another? Why does an all-powerful conscious being exist with these exact desires?
This is the same weak reasoning we’ve seen throughout our conversation: emotional appeal to wonder (“Look at all this order!”) instead of engaging with actual evidence or probability properly.
@turnedwife It’s like winning the lottery and then saying “The odds of me specifically winning were 1 in 300 million, therefore the lottery was rigged by God!” No. Someone was always going to win, and the winner is the only one around to be amazed.
Right because Believing a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father was born of a virgin, died, came back to life, and will return to judge you based on whether you believed the right ancient stories… is pretty silly when you step back. Especially when there’s no good historical or scientific evidence for the supernatural claims. 🤷🏼♂️
The Big Bang isn’t a fireworks show you can photograph with your iPhone 6, you absolute walnut. We have the cosmic microwave background radiation, redshift of galaxies, abundance of light elements — the entire observable universe is the “pic,” dumbass.
You want a snapshot of something 13.8 billion years ago but you trust a book written by Bronze Age desert goat herders who thought the Earth was flat and pi was 3? Make it make sense.
“Bible is backed up and most scrutinized literature… nothing has or can be proven wrong on it.”
My brother in Christ, you are clinically illiterate. The Bible says plants existed before the sun (Genesis 1). That’s not just wrong, that’s “plants doing photosynthesis in the dark” levels of wrong. It also says rabbits chew cud, bats are birds, and the Earth is immovable. We’ve got more archaeological and scientific receipts proving the Bible wrong than you have functioning brain cells.
And then you hit us with “Evolution,, trust me bro.” — the comma is doing heavy lifting there, huh? Yeah, the theory with literal mountains of evidence from fossils, genetics, comparative anatomy, and direct observation is the one that’s “trust me bro,” while your ancient fanfic about talking snakes and a global flood that left zero geological trace is rock solid.
you are the one who put hands on another fighter as a guest at their event. The video is out there for the world to see. MVP didn’t lie — they called a physical altercation exactly what it was: unacceptable. Baumgardner said it was unprovoked. Now you’re running to court because the consequences hurt your feelings?
This is peak “I hit her first but she started it” logic. The same woman who dropped paragraphs about not condoning violence is now threatening lawsuits left and right while still playing the victim. 😂😂😂
@oliverburdick Many people die for their religion just look at Muslims and people in cults, so according to your logic they can’t be wrong either since some of them kill themselves for their beliefs.
Congratulations, you’ve just described literally every ancient text ever. The Iliad was written in the past too. So were the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Babylonian creation myths, and that one stone tablet where some guy claimed the sun god told him to eat his enemies’ livers. By your logic, every batshit fairy tale with “old” stamped on it is automatically true. The Harry Potter books will be “written from the past” in 500 years. Is Hogwarts canon then?
