Those who say "Group x does y" when referring just to a specific, small subset of group x will not inherit the kingdom of heaven
I periodically remember that mormons literally discard their male children to ensure elder men get additional young brides and cant believe we dont talk about it more

Every guy is pro-IRA. You just have to figure out if it's Indian Removal Act, Irish Republican Army, or Inflation Reduction Act

I wonder how many people's worldview is shattered by pointing out that Anne Frank's diary wasn't written in ballpoint pen

The people that think LGBT rights are human rights but don't want to force the reservations to adopt them are very interesting to me. I'm pretty sure that if they were practicing slavery, like the Cherokee used to, they would have a different opinion.

This is a terrible idea to be clear
Kids shouldn’t be allowed to inherit anything from their parents. 100% inheritance tax across the board. Use it to fund schools (with free education), libraries, and healthcare.
Our economy would work better if everyone had to earn their wealth. No handouts to nepo babies.

Which raises the question: Are there human rights more important than other human rights? What is the hierarchy of human rights? Hard questions that I don't have an answer to

I can understand why someone would hold the top two positions on this chart even if I don't agree (especially for the second one). I don't understand why you would hold any of the lower 3 positions on the chart. What is the logic of such heavy restrictions on freedom?

Seems pretty easy to explain to me. Gender dysphoria is a mental illness that causes high levels of distress. That's what the transition is for to try and reduce the distress and hopefully reduce the suicides as well

Or when I worked at an office supplies store and I saw someone trying to steal a laptop. Or when people constantly stole printer ink. Most cases of shoplifting are not what this post is trying to imply

Someone was posting about this in the comments but apparently there were some Christian missionaries that got the native Americans on reservations real against ssm sometime in the recent past. So the old people there are a lot more open to it than the middle aged people

If you see someone shoplifting, 9/10 times yes you did. This idea of someone who shoplifts because they just simply can't afford it is a lot less common than some people seem to think

I don't understand this argument. If you had a reasonable excuse to commit a crime, then you don't have to rehabilitate that person. Rehabilitation is for people who didn't have reasonable excuses for their crimes. Am I missing something?
Please do explain how you can rehabilitate a rapist. Rape is one of the few crimes to not have a single reasonable excuse.
One can steal, murder, or sell drugs out of desperation. Nobody rapes out of desperation, you are inherently and eternally wicked if you are a rapist.

If every Breckinridge, Bell, and Douglas voter all went to one candidate in 1860, they would win by over 20 points in the popular vote and still lose the electoral college holy shit

Based on the responses to this tweet, it seems like a lot of people think Reform UK is an anti-democracy party. Not every party to the right of the major center right party wants to abolish democracy and there's no evidence as far as I know that Reform UK does
liberal democracy "supporters" when people use liberal democracy to express dissatisfaction with their favored policies

I think it's in the context of guys who won't accept rejection well (or at least might not) and call the number to make sure it's not a fake number. I can see why that would be a bit frightening tbh. I've never been in that situation though so I could be off

I will say, I like international countries that we can't directly control, Congress does have the power to force them to do it. The question is whether they should force them

To be fair, social conservatism was always part of neoconservatism. Bush literally wanted to push through a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage

1. I highly doubt that every single woman who used the app wanted to slander and malign men
2. Even if they did, just because someone does something bad doesn't mean you should do something bad back to them

I wonder how much of this is people being more attached to Catholicism so they hold on to the identity even when they're only nominally Catholic

Hot take: Oz is actually a relatively moderate Republican. At minimum, moreso than candidates like Masters and Walker

Also it's even slightly misleading imo. It's not like it was an official wing of the Democratic party, it was just people that were also Democrats who made it. It's like saying the Republican Party founded the proud boys or something. Also of course, by the second klan...

JJ McCullough had an interesting video related to this topic of why I/P seems to be the conflict that people tend to care about then most and the conclusion seemed to be that you can easily slot the conflict into whatever your preferred way of looking at the world is

There's two types of dating advice online
1. Stop thinking about dating. Just be yourself, be completely indifferent and then once you don't care, it'll just fall into your lap
2. Approach every woman you see until one says yes
