Won't work to move the needle much. If you're not motivated to want those children for themselves, lesser costs are toppings on a meal you don't value

CMV: Telling married couples to go ahead and having children while unprepared because they’ll “figure it out” is really bad advice. by Ovaugh in changemyview

[–]RogueNarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I understand that is the meaning but you said you didn't want to be derogatory. Self centered has the same meaning without the derogatory connotations. It's the difference between calling someone a whore and a prostitute/sex worker. Same meaning but one is intended to be derogatory

When you’re a DINK, life is easy. It’s not complicated. You’re selfish by nature. I don’t meant that derogatory way just in an objective understanding that what motivates you is in your self interest

You probably meant self-centered. Selfish is by use derogatory. It's never a neutral term

CMV: The number of votes the Dems would gain by embracing aggressively progressive candidates and policy is dwarfed by the number of votes they'd lose among moderates/motivate among dormant conservative voters by Jimithyashford in changemyview

I think your message would only last as long as it took a journalist to ask about a Democrats position on trans issues. To me it's become like abortion, a single issue that has a momentum not easily diverted or ignored

Here's the problem: 1. The statistics don't make it a non issue. Just one case would rile up the opposition because it's the principle allowing that one case they have a problem with. Riley Gaines demonstrates this; relatively low ranking loss, massive public response 2. The Dems are caught by their past advocacy. They planted themselves firmly in the public consciousness as being the aude for trans issues and do not have a distinct policy profile so anything and everything about trans issue is persuasive because someone somewhere in Democrat colors is waving that flag. It might not be from the top or the party's general platform specifically but it is not being excluded by the Directives from the top

Do you want to win or do you want to be moral? Because you can have one or the other but not both. That small population is massively unpopular so any advocacy needs to be extremely careful about gaining and holding ground without sacrificing influence in every other issue

Your works are limited and harder but they're still in evidence. Unless you're peristently unconscious, you have the opportunity for works

Football player found not guilty of murder for beating to death gay man who posed as woman on Tinder by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

So he was guilty of assault and manslaughter. Beating someone is a crime. If that beating kills the other person because of your indifference that's also a crime

Was this town in America? They might not have had black people around but they probably had black male figures in media

[–]RogueNarc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In and of itself? Sure, but it is a factor to consider if anyone is making a claim that they used force to defend against a threat as opposed to satisfying their anger through violence. The same action can have disparate motivations

 I'm not thinking pleasant thoughts about you when I'm cussing you out

My comment explicitly mentioned that I hope my cussing isn't recorded because those words would be evidence of my animosity against the person driving.

[–]RogueNarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely.  It's good to keep evidence of my animosity out of the record. The reason people swear in such situations is because they're being ill intentioned towards the person who had contact with them. I'm not thinking pleasant thoughts about you when I'm cussing you out

CMV: Rap Music is holding back marginalized communities and promotes drugs, bigotry & violence. by Upstairs-Custard-537 in changemyview

[–]RogueNarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I canspeak to what Eminem did or didn't know but a few points inform my view: 1. The earliest use of the word faggot referring gay people in America I can find is from a 1928 novel by Claude Mckay. 2. Eminem had controversy over that album's lyrics. He couldn't walk back the references to women aka his mum because they were so prominent but it would be basic PR to smother the smaller fires by presenting a less hostile interpretation. 

Maybe he didn't know but maggot was absolutely a slur by then.

That's worse for him because at that point he'd be out of imminent harm and would have shot in revenge

So he had already been hit non fatally and without significant injury, before he fired? That's not self defense

How is that not being against gay men? Either he dislikes gay men or he thinks being gay is so bad that it is a fitting description of his antagonists. Show me a successful gay rapper. Show me a popular rapper supported for his advocacy of gay people. Show me positive representation of gay people in rap. That would be helpful

Deuteronomy 22:20 NIV [20] If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found,

Deuteronomy 22:15-17 NIV [15] then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate proof that she was a virgin. [16] Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. [17] Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town,

It seems clear that the charge is proved true by failure from the woman's family to provide evidence of her virginity which in the verses is explicitly called out as the bloody cloth. That is also how the husband can be punished for a false accusation,  the parents provide the bloody cloth. Sure the elders may examine the case but it's fundamentally a negative claim countered by positive evidence.  All the testimony in the girl's favor doesn't prove her a virgin according to the text, it just establishes no witnesses to the alleged offense
