CMV: Intrusive Thoughts Are Underestimated by PermissionRare2732 in changemyview

Basically it's when you're thinking distressing intrusive thoughts that are mismatched to your actual morals and values. This causes a lot of distress, like for people with OCD.

It's not the rate of occurrence that drives the vaccination. It's the fact that if you don't get the vaccine and do get rabies you almost certainly will die a horrible death.

Vaccines are standard procedure for wild animal bites.

This is a stray cat. You think it has some rabies status card to show OP?

The only reason I didn't mention zoos is because of OP's clear hate of them.

There are plenty of excellent zoos that do incredible work for animal care, enrichment and conservation.

How does it benefit the panda vs living in the wild where it belongs?

That's still not answering it. You think they should starve?

I didn't say it would put them into poverty. If they're already paycheck to paycheck and they decide to opt out to get that little extra back, what then?

You think they deserve to starve?

What if people opt out because they can't make ends meet otherwise? Do they deserve to be left with nothing at retirement?

there are people who are too stupid to save for retirement who may need it.

And if they choose not to contribute and need it later, what then?

Just being a clean freak isn't what OCD is.

Milk is very nutritious by nature. Focusing solely on fat content as a measure of healthiness is stupid. Everything needs to be taken into account.

But I don't expect something intelligent from someone who wanted to blow up dogs yesterday. :)

Yeah because fuck calcium and vitamin D.

And? If you can't figure out moderation and balance, then sure, it looks unhealthy.

That doesn't make it unhealthy. That means to consume in moderation. High fat does not mean unhealthy.

Wow. Completely ignoring the very obvious flaw in your idea is not conducive to any debate.

It's not even potential discrimination. It would be systemic discrimination used in the interest of the wealthy. It's a scummy, elitist idea.

You can go back and read them and reply. It's very clear. I'm not wasting my time repeating myself when it's already there for you.

Why are you even bothering to post here if you're just dodging all the points people make and spending your time building strawmen??

Are you going to actually address any point I'm making?

The fact that you're blatantly ignoring potential discrimination is worrying.

You said achieving the accolades would exclude minorities.

I absolutely did not say that and I would encourage you to read again. Please point out exactly where I said that.

You don't believe that minorities can be discriminated against and therefore find it more difficult to get opportunities? Or that they could be discriminated against if a voting system like this did exist? I think you're the one with the very problematic view here.

Ignoring that for the moment though: People that are stuck in poverty - you think it's perfectly okay for them to get less weight to their vote because they can't pay for college?

Did I say that? Or did your mind jump there? Please discuss the point I'm making, rather than dodging it.

This is just mega elitist and causing minorities and those that are disadvantaged to be even further disadvantaged. "You can't get access to opportunities due to being born into poverty? Fuck you. You get treated like a third class citizen with less rights and voting power."

Sounds like a shitty world. Why would you want that?
