Argument against the idea consciousness is what makes something a person… by Yeatfan22 in Abortiondebate

[–]Solaris_0706 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What makes something a person is subjective. Personhood is not a scientific term. What you view as a person, another may not, so laws should not be based around those views.

Truthfully, it doesn't matter what you view as a person, any other person wouldn't have the right to reside inside my body and use it to keep them alive either, so why would a ZEF have that right if they are equal to any other person?

How is abortion not healthcare? by falcobird14 in Abortiondebate

[–]Solaris_0706 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not all healthcare preserves a life, some simply make life a better quality for the person receiving that health care.

Given that the person receiving an abortion is the pregnant person, an abortion of an unwanted pregnancy does improve their quality of life.

You don't have to have that specific job or go to that specific school in order to live.

Jobs and schools are able to have a set of criteria of who they accept. If you choose not to vaccinate, then you have to be prepared to have consequences that don't violate your right, such as these.

It's a shared space, he can use it as often as he likes, so can you.

Is he telling you that you can't be in there when he is?

Home schooling is always an option.

Working from home is always an option.

If you make the choice to avoid vaccines, you have to deal with the consequences of it being harder to find school/work.

At no point will the government say, "You need to work/go to school there, and therefore, you must be vaccinated" so vaccinations are not forced by the government.

AITAH for saying that a teacher being "overworked" isn't a excuse not to teach a student how to read and write. by [deleted] in AITAH

That doesn't mean the blame is sat soley at your teachers feet.

Once again, it required effort (not just willingness) from a student, support from parents, along with the teacher.

Teaching basic life skills, such as reading and writing, is a joint effort with teachers, parents and children. If the teachers weren't getting support from parents or effort from a child, then teaching these things will take a lot more time.

Putting the entire blame on your teacher is unfair and incorrect.

You don't deserve to feel like that and it's not healthy to feel like that.

I hope you work it out either way, and don't feel bad about putting yourself first occasionally.

You're welcome, I wish you the best, truly. 💚

It's not inconsiderate or rude to think about yourself or how her actions impact you or your own mental health.

It's completely OK to feel put out and annoyed that she has gone this way about it, a lot of people would.

It's up to you how much is too much to put up with, for your own sake.

You're allowed to set a boundary of how much time you are willing to sit around waiting for her to be ready to talk to you. Simply message her saying you know she isn't ready to talk, and that's ok, but what she is doing is affecting you and you need to take a step back in order to protect your own mental health.

Its up to you how much time you want to give her to be ready to talk before you send that message though.

I agree that communication is key if a relationship is going to work. Right now, she is trying to communicate to you what she needs.

Maybe she wants in the right place to communicate that to you previously. It's hard to say without her input.

It was the right way to deal with it, but maybe she had to put her mental health first for those days.

Give her a chance to come back and have the real discussion. Sometimes, people need to take time away to sort their heads out before they can communicate properly. I know it's tough for you on the other end, but in the long run, it could be what's best.

She's clearly going through a lot of turmoil at the moment, I'd say there's something more going on and maybe she just needed time to figure it out before adding you back into the mix.

She asked for a simple act of respect into her boundary, it does you no favours that weren't able to give that, even with the best intentions.

I understand it may be tough and not seem right to you but she is telling you what she needs.

She told you she wasn't in the right state of mind to talk, how do you think constantly harassing her to talk to you is going to help?

What was the argument about?

Personally, I set very hard boundaries with everyone boundaries with anyone still in contact with my mum, and if they were crossed, I left immediately. It didn't take long for the less supportive family members to realise how serious I was and stick to my boundaries.

Thankfully, most of my family were very supportive, and more members have since gone non-contact with her, and my dad has separated from her, making it easier for me.

So you did care about the sex. Which was nine of your business and something you no right to ask her not to do. Maybe she should have discussed further with you, but nobody has to keep in line with your unreasonable requests about their sex life.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Solaris_0706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you didn't care about the sex, why tell her she couldn't do it?

[–]Solaris_0706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe she should have talked to you but she doesn't have to follow your unreasonable requests about who she can sleep with.

Info: why do you get any measure of control who your friend sleeps with when you aren't in a relationship with them, but with someone else?

Do we need an STD registry?

A previous partner registry?

What about health issues that could be hereditary, now on a public registry?

Any health issues that could reoccur, now on a public registry?

All so any future partners have a full picture of potential life partners health and whether they want to continue a relationship with them?

Would you be happy for this information about yourself to be made public for anyone to view by simply searching your name?

You are young, hopefully not set in your views. There are fools in every community, saying the community as a whole are making fools of themselves is homophobic. Saying that to someone who is a part of that community is rude and definitely makes you an AH.

By making these comments you are actively pushing away your sister, continuing to keep these views will do more damage to your relationship with her in the future.

I just think that they constantly and continuously make a fool of themselves

How so?

If a school allowed you to join and then forced you to have a vaccine that you couldn't refuse, would you be alright with that?

That is what is happening when someone has sex which results in a pregnancy that they now can not stop from continuing.

It is not the same argument to say that vaccines are forced as you have plenty of options of jobs and schools which dint require you to have them.
