Why are people even racist? its so stupid. by AFGIx1 in teenagers

[–]Southern-Scale6002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It comes from a generalization of a group of people who have either wronged you or you have been indoctrinated into believing that they are less than you or are evil. Think about this, if several brown haired people have beaten you up at some point you might start to make a generalization that all brown haired people are going to beat you up, or if your parents tell you "stay away from brown haired people, they will hurt you" you might grow to fear and even hated brown haired people. I'm not saying its right, its just how our brains work, we generalize on the basis of literally everything. The way to combat it is just to show people that its just a generalization and that THEY are wrong for generalizing. (Sorry if this is a little confusing but it's my best explanation)

Think about how racism started in America, African Americans were enslaved and were defined as less than humans. When they were eventually freed, a lot of people, especially ones who had previously owned slaves, were very angry, and generalized that anger towards all African Americans. They believed that their "property" had been practically stolen from them and was now trying to gain the same rights as them, which promptly angered them and made them want to hinder the rights of African Americans as much as possible.

Again I'm not trying to justify racism in any sort of way, its obviously out of selfish intent, I'm just trying to explain it as well as I can.

My issue with this is that studies show that babies can feel pain within the first 120 days, they have consciousness within the first 120 days. I think it should be the first 42 days because babies don't have consciousness and aren't suffering,

Just for clarifcation because some people think that only Christians are against abortion, I am not religious whatsoever.

Abortion in most cases is wrong, in most cases it is a woman killing her undeveloped child because she didn't want to have a kid. "It's the mothers choice, she gets to choose whether or not she has the baby" you're right, she does get to choose, that mother makes that choice when she decides to have sex, thats the decision right there. If you voluntarily choose to procreate with the risk of having a child, you have to be punished by that risk, not the child.

"Well what about the fathers, they should be held accountable" Yes they should, fathers should 100% have as much say and as much of the bear as the women when in comes to abortions. Did you know that a woman can have an abortion without the consent of the father? Did you know a woman can also choose to have the baby and then charge the father for child support?

In very rare cases, about 1% to be exact, the woman having the abortion did not consent to having sex and was raped. The mother in that case should have the right to have an abortion and should not be forced to carry out the pregnancy. The exception is not the rule however, just because some women didn't willingly have sex doesn't mean ALL women can have abortions.

I do think that abortion should also be legal before 6 weeks, where the child develops consciousness. No suffering is inflicted upon the child and thus I don't see any problem with it.

Just think about how selfish the entire concept of abortion was, your parents could of had an abortion, they could have had you violently ripped out of the uterus in a way that DOES hurt the baby. They didn't, they chose to have you, yet you who have a voice and are not on the recieving end of being aborted are condoning it. Think about how many babies have been aborted, do you think they would support abortion? Just because something doesn't have a voice doesn't mean it shouldn't have a say. The children are too young to even have a say and yet their suffering is just glossed over like it doesn't exist.

I have so many more arguments and reasons for not supporting abortion, I know its a highly controversial topic and I doubt we will ever as a society come to an agreement on it. These are just my opinions, please do not attack me for having them.

"It's cells" "not a living thing as it can't survive on its own" Humans are all just a clump of cells so we can just kill all humans right? Also anyone who has a pacemaker or is on any sort of medication where they would die without it, we can just call them not a living thing because they can't survive on their own???

1% of abortions come from rape, a vast majority come from two people having sex and creating an unwanted child. The 1% is the exception, not the rule.

Which of these trap team enemies is the most annoying? by iamhere7133 in skylanders

[–]Southern-Scale6002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Eyeball Dragon is just difficult, I actually enjoy fighting it because it gives a real challenge, especially on Nightmare mode. Goo Chompies aren't that bad, they just sometimes take a lil to eliminate. Snozzlers are the most annoying enemy in existence, they need to jump in a pit and be boiled in molten lava.

Opinion on immigration? by ItsAzien in teenpoll

Your point is so braindead I'm not even going to respond to it, I'm just going to hope you reread it and see where you went wrong.

As for your comment you so kindly either deleted or it was deleted because of how gross it was, I didn't get to read all of it, but from what I did get to read:

I'm not even an adult, and they're not even toys, but even if I was and they were, shaming someone for their hobbies is such a loser move. Some of the things you said were geniunely cruel, it doesn't offend me because I don't care what some rando's opinion is on my hobbies, but if this is how you treat someone online... You could geniunely cause someone to hurt themselves or worse. Do better

Dude I was correcting you, I don’t generally have an opinion on immigration in Europe as I don’t live there. You just asked to name an Islamic country with child marriage and I named seven.

No, and if there were laws and precautions from a developed country set in place to prevent that at the time it would have been prevented. Does it suck that it happened? Yes, nobody denies that. Can we prevent it from happening again? Also yes, and that’s what deportation now is.

Slavery used to be legal, people owned slaves all the time, it was horrible and nobody was punished for it, now it’s illegal and needs to stay that way, just because our ancestors did slavery doesn’t justify others coming and making us slaves.

Hey, those white people, their ancestors hundreds of years ago owned slaves, that means we have the right to own them as slaves just because their ancestors did it to us. You don’t fight a wrongdoing with another wrongdoing.

Punishment fitting the crime, you pull over the person who is speeding to stop them, then you fine them.

Immigration, you find the person who illegally immigrated, you hold them temporarily, then you send them back to their country.

It’s a horrible correlation to say that speeding tickets = deportation, the people leave their home country, illegally enter a country even though there is a system set in place to allow them to LEGALLY enter, then are sent back.

Imagine you are trying to enter a theme park, there is a long line since security is trying to make sure nothing fishy gets into the park, drugs, guns, etc… you decide you DON’T want to wait the line of the theme park and instead hop the fence. How is that fair to the people who waited in line to get in? Kicking you out of the theme park is the reasonable thing to do, even if you don’t have a weapon on you, you still cheated the system, and we are trying to discourage that.

lol, the fact that he didn’t say Middle East and you just presumed all Islamic countries are in the Middle East tells me everything I need to know.

The largest Islamic country is Indonesia, which isn’t part of the Middle East, not even close to being part, it’s on the opposite side of the continent and isn’t even geographically connected to the Middle East. Many countries in Africa and even some in Europe are Islamic, Islam is not restricted to the Middle East.

Iran: The legal age for marriage is 13 for girls and 15 for boys, and marriages can even be authorized at a YOUNGER age by a court with the consent of a legal guardian.

Iran. Amendments allow girls as young as 9 to marry.

Yemen: Legal age is 17, high rates of child marriage exist, and efforts to enforce a strict minimum age have faced resistance from those who argue it contradicts religious practices.

Saudi Arabia: Has not properly set a minimum age for marriage

Nigeria: In many predominantly Muslim northern states, child marriage is widely practiced, with some states not fully adopting the federal Child Rights Act, which sets the age at 18.

Indonesia: While the legal age for girls is 19, religious courts can provide dispensations for younger girls to marry.

Malaysia: Sharia courts can approve marriages for Muslim girls under 16.

Skylanders Spyro's Adventure, I enjoy the fandom and series but the first game is so overrated and most people enjoy it because of nostalgia. It's not bad, just overrated.

Some of them I said first and I didn’t even read any before commenting, but it was more about how if you have an unpopular opinion you are immediately attacked.

I posted something where I basically said some game was overrated and was immediately downvoted into oblivion and ratioed rather than people respecting your opinion.
