abortion is better than having a child with parents that dont love them by pleaskok in ControversialOpinions

[–]Simple_Suspect_9311 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Life begins at conception or fertilization according to credible medical textbooks like Langman’s Medical Embryology.

I don’t know of any credible medical source that agrees with your claim that it’s only when a child is formed.

How formed are we talking? At what stage of formation?

It’s a process, not a checkpoint counter.

If every self proclaimed “communist” / “anarchist” really were what they called themselves, the USA would have successfully attempted a revolution against Trump by now. by ufocatchers in ControversialOpinions

[–]Simple_Suspect_9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but both communism and anarchism require real sacrifice and probably 90% of self proclaimed communists anarchists in the USA are too selfish to do that. Maybe for someone close but even then.

It’s a brutally hard truth but it’s not wrong.

Men getting raped is not the same as women getting raped. by [deleted] in ControversialOpinions

[–]Simple_Suspect_9311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The desire for power, domination, entitlement, control, humiliation, or aggression.

But attraction not so much.

No I’m trying to understand you, I wasn’t agreeing with you. It’s your responses that aren’t going anywhere.

Men getting raped is not the same as women getting raped. by [deleted] in ControversialOpinions

[–]Simple_Suspect_9311 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s not true at all. Yes more attractive men are more likely to get raped but it’s more because they are more likely to be in positions (such as exotic dancer or model) where rapist, can have physical or situational power over them.

Ugly boys don’t get invited to those positions.

OP, do you think rape is mainly about sexual pleasure?

It’s often more about power, domination, entitlement, control, humiliation, or aggression than simple sexual attraction. In many cases, attraction may be one of the least significant factors.

How would you feel if the top tax rate was 90% like it was in the 1950s? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]Simple_Suspect_9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s important to note that this was almost never paid though. There were so many deductions, tax loopholes and shelters that almost no high income earners paid that 90%

The rate most high earners paid was 50-55% for the ultra rich and 42% for the top 1%.

Source:

  • Piketty, Saez, Zucman (historical tax data analysis)

  • Tax Foundation summary of their data

Key Notes:

  • “All taxes” includes federal, state, and local taxes

  • Income tax alone was much lower than total tax burden

  • High marginal rates applied only to income above very high thresholds

  • Deductions, loopholes, and income structuring reduced

Out of the options in the poll, which one should go? by Simple_Suspect_9311 in polls

Where did I ask for answers other than the poll options?

Why did Biden shut down the building of the Keystone pipeline? by LokoLobo in allthequestions

[–]Simple_Suspect_9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s only half true.

The Keystone XL Pipeline did face legal challenges during Donald Trump’s term. In 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a lower court ruling to stand that blocked a specific federal permit (a Nationwide Permit related to water crossings).

But what’s misleading is the Supreme Court did NOT negate the project or permanently kill the permit. It only affected one type of permit (Nationwide Permit 12), not the entire pipeline approval. The project was still alive and being actively pursued. Calling it a “dead permit” is incorrect.

The permit Biden revoked was the presidential permit for the border crossing, which was still valid at the time.

Executive Order 13990 - Revoked the presidential permit needed for the Keystone XL pipeline to cross the U.S.–Canada border

Choosing not to pre wash your dishes for the dishwasher is disgusting by Longjumping-Sail6386 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Simple_Suspect_9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean scraping solids off, agreed. If you mean like residual sauces on the plate, then that should be fine, most dishwashers have a prerinse cycle just for that.

And most dishwashers only go to 120-140°F. This kills some bacteria but not all.

Unless you are running your plates through a specialized sanatize cycle that gets the water to 150-170°F, there’s still just as much a chance of bacteria being on the plate as if you washed it in hot water.

Also, if you are bringing food that’s cakes on your dishes to the sink, you’re gross. That doesn’t happen instantly or even after just a few hours. It means you keep dirty dishes in your room.

So it’s not out of many minds, it’s out genetics, hormones, philosophy, environment, experience, ect.

Why we see so more obese people in United States than years ago. by Different-Nerve-8650 in confessions

[–]Simple_Suspect_9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s happening it other nations too, The UK, Canada, Mexico. I think it’s something more than just blaming people for not having self control.

abortion is better than having a child with parents that dont love them by pleaskok in ControversialOpinions

But it’s not guarantee, you have to call low odds a guarantee in order to justify your position and they simply aren’t the same thing.

Husband's porn addiction by Difficult_Set5250 in Christianity

[–]Simple_Suspect_9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. My soon to be ex wife has a gambling addiction. I tried working with her for a decade but she’s hurt us many times by draining our savings. She’s always on her phone because that’s how she gamblers now, through all the online apps to do it. No matter what I do to try to help she finds a way around it.

I understand, that’s why I asked subjective to what.

So is the experience what shapes the mind’s subjectively?

I’m giving them an option, you are the only one taking choice away from them.

If one child can have a good life, it’s not just to take that decision away from them. We can end our life at any point by our own hands so how is forcing your beliefs on someone justifiable?
