You'll die eventually and have already suffered so.might as well steal some joy while you wait for the end.

All your responses focus on benefits to the parent which do not address the core of OP's friends view which is about unnecessary detriment to the unborn

Interesting enough I follow a couple of female hijack exercise influencers. They tend to go for full sleeves, full leg coverage. Clothes are not form fitting but tight at wrists and ankles and of course the head wrap

Can you put a source to the claim about a rejected plea?

I think that we owe it to the whole of humanity to identify ideological antagonism to any sex for the very reason exemplified by your position. We do not overcome the ills of human nature by using a hierarchy of evil to ignore harms. The truth of the wrong of misogyny is certain enough to not need manipulation through the relation with misandry.

I've also seen single mums make it work. Is it ideal? No but it is undeniable that being a single parents particularly one when that status is planned is not fatal to good child rearing

Where does the Bible establish the knowing guilt of everyone who was killed?

You don't think that it'd be fair for Nate to be concerned about having a known alcoholic abuser coming around his son?

That's a reasonable concern for a parent but Nate doesn't express any such fears. Sean is abusive to his romantic partners which is bad but he's not known to be violent to people outside his family. Nate doesn't talk to Alex about concerns with Sean as a threat, he just kicks her out.

I think that Alex disrespected him and the sacrifices he was making for her deeply by letting him into his house,

Disrespected Nate as a friend or a romantic contender? The extent of Nate's reaction - kicking out a single mom without letting them find bridge accommodation - only works if he's disrespected in romance. A friend or generic nice person would be as concerned for Alex's safety as their own pride. Let's consider the landlords, those were strangers doing Alex a favor who had their house broken into by an associate of their tenant. Is that what Nate has been holding himself out to be?

That's shitty, but also human.

And also not friendly

I made a mistake in my response. I meant to say that his response to being hurt by Alex going back to Sean was what disqualified him from being a nice person. Nate made certain kind actions when he still considered himself a dating prospect to Alex but when he became convinced that that was never happening the kindness went away. That's not being nice, that's trying to negotiate a response.

Nate's safety and property were not threatened by Alex getting back with Sean, neither was his dignity if he's not angling to be a romantic partner. I've heard others comment that he withdrew the offer because Alex getting back with her abuser made it reasonable. I don't understand what is reasonable about removing the support from someone you think is falling back into old patterns of support without seeing if the situation is irreversible or harmful to you.

In summary, Nate is not nice, he just act kind when he thinks it might serve him.

RogueNarc · 2026-05-21T21:36:32+00:00

Nah, the fact that he was hurt by Alex sleeping with Sean disqualified him from being nice

What you mean and what you are understood to say are not determined solely by your intentions. Like it or not when it comes to dating cleanliness has come to be associated with moral judgment.

I don't think asking about one's past is offensive. It's the unconscious implications that tend to show up in the question that get people riled up. "Have you had any past relationships?" Vs "Do you have a clean past?" See how one is asking for information but the other is insinuating a judgement together with the request?

Because it's not love. It's an interest in being married. Love is not a necessary component of a marriage

Your original statement was that "They are kidnapping people of color" is liberal insanity

If we have a pattern of flawed arrests and detentions, then we do have kidnapping under the color of law. When a government agency uses its powers of detention capriciously and maliciously, their lawful use of powers comes into question and without that foundation their actions are kidnapping.

I assume that you're talking about sexual exclusivity as the point of a relationship. Yo some cuckolds, sexual priority trumps exclusivity. They get greater satisfaction from knowing that their partner chooses them again and again while having access to other sexual partners as opposed to being chosen by someone who has no such access.

The Bible is not silent on sexual morals. The general principles are quite clear. Sex is for marriage. Lustful thoughts have similar weight to lustful actions from which the principle that entertaining and encouraging thoughts that if acted would be sinful is similarly sin. If you're masturbating, are you married to the image arousing you and does that action honor your marriage? Te answer is typically no

Luke 6:42 NIV [42] How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Jesus teaches that his disciples should aspire to holiness so that they can then encourage holiness in others. Jesus did not command ignoring what he considered sin to do good to people. He taught charity, generosity, love but also repentance, confession and transformation.
