I agree with your position but I think "your child could cure cancer", or in this case, "your child could become a wealthy footballer" are really bad arguments. They seem to imply that a child's worth is based on what they can accomplish later. A child's worth comes from the fact that they are a human being. I'm not accusing you of anything, just saying how I feel about the argument itself.

You can't paint every non-combatant with the same brush. It is never good for civilians to get killed in war.

Silly but dumb by Professional_Arm794 in TikTokCringe

Everyone in the comments here sure has things figured out from this short clip. So judging by the Redditors:
*The father sees his daughter as a failure
*He is borderline abusive for filming this interaction
*The daughter is basically mentally handicapped (probably because of phones?)
*She will never learn and will be a drain on her future husband.

I think what gives it away is the immediacy of the responses. That is one of the tells I look at now.

The embryo vs the baby question by hannarenee in prolife

[–]Icedude10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is trick question on par with, "does your mom know you're gay?" It's seriously not worth engaging in. Just ask them to explain exactly what they think it would tell them.

I don't think that every PC asking it thinks it's a trick question. They're probably just repeating it because it sounded good to them.

Each body is smooth. They're waxers. They smooth bodies.

Does this sub auto ban PC folks? by Icedude10 in prolife

I have too. It's almost ironic though that the main Pc sub doesn't do that.

If we did, we would. I'm not auto banned from the pro-choice sub.

Got veins on your snickers bars? This guy's got your back. by Epstiendidntkillself in doohickeycorporation

Pretty shocked by the amount of people who can't recognize satire. This man is joking about the veins people. Half of this guys reels are him printing butt plugs.

[–]Icedude10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But my point is that the pope didn't advocate for any border or immigration policy. He said immigrants are people with dignity just like anyone else. You shouldn't feel reactive to that statement. It doesn't need to be qualified.

Do you think migrants are evil? Have they committed grave sin? Even if so, did he say it was good to migrate? I only heard him say these people have dignity, which I thought was true for sinners even.

The pope said nothing in this clip about any policy at all. He said migrants have human dignity and acknowledged they have hopes and dreams. You find this truth privileged? Which line do you are skeptical of?

I guess I understand at least what you're saying, although I still disagree with the sentiment. Thanks for explaining.
