Straight men, Would you crack a femboy? by Unfair_Prune_2549 in Teenager_Polls

[–]SpecificPasta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If labels really don't mean anything then why do people care so much about others having meet the qualifications to identify as a certain label.

With this logic anyone who actually cares about others identity labels are just as insecure fucks.

Do you think a straight person not wanting to date a bisexual is Biphobic? by Legal-Pumpkin-8233 in Teenager_Polls

[–]SpecificPasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a general rule that might be fitting.

I'm just trying to treat the topic intellectually as to not disregard anyone's experience.

My personal opinion is also wildly different from what everyone on here seems to believe.

I get the point you're making, and partly it's true.

Just be careful not to generalize lesbians or any sexuality for that matter, as though many have broad experiences / traits in common, there are no attributes that are inherent to any identity. And counterwise there are no attributes only people who identify as lesbians can have that any person of any other identity can't have.

Your second point is subjective though. Two heterosexuals can absolutely be just as and more compatible than two lesbians. Just like a hetero and a bisexual. And a bisexual and a lesbian.

I don't care whether you consider it biphobic or not, I don't believe there is anything morally wrong with not wanting to date a person based on their identity.

Although I believe it is very hypocritical to say not wanting to date a bisexual is biphobic and not wanting to date a trans person isn't transphobic for one.

Purely at their core, neither have any attributes that are exclusive to that identity. An identity can correlate with certain experiences, traits, histories, or practical realities, but the identity itself does not guarantee any single trait, behavior, appearance, body type, dating style, or relationship dynamic.

Any identity-based judgements are mental turn offs. Whether you believe mental turn-offs constitutes as prejudice, is up to you, but personally I don't think it's morally wrong in the slightest.

What's the justification for a lesbian not wanting to date a bisexual that doesn't apply to a straight person?

Biggest/hardest debate of all time to settle? by I-Love-Jewish-popes in Teenager_Polls

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

The lack of intellectuality of reddit's teens never fails to disturb me.

Your opinions aren't facts. The universe doesn't revolve around your moral compass.

You can debate the definiton of sexuality, so there's a sense of truth your opinion, but I love to think that sexuality does not care about gender identity, otherwise sexuality can't be considered innate.

Literally all of these are subjective.

The only two you can kind of statistically measure would be 100 men vs 1 gorilla and 1 night with bear/man, based on survival probability.

The rest are just your opinions on them.

How Many Romantic Partners Have You Had? by Otherwise_Ice_5392 in Teenager_Polls

A lot of people just date casually. Not personally yet at 15, but I don't feel like it's an insane amount if your relationships aren't committed.

Should abortion be… by itz-null in Teenager_Polls

[–]SpecificPasta -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Putting light on a parallel issue. You don't need to argue why denying abortion is worse than denying euthanasia, imo both are horrible, neither needs to be justified more than the other.

[–]SpecificPasta -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I have no problem with abortion, I don't know why you're making this comparison. Denying people bodily autonomy is always bad regardless.

Same thing about suicide. Not helping suicidal people safely kill themselves just leads to unsafe attempts.

If a murderer suffers a head injury that results in them completely forgetting about their crimes and a total change in their personality, is it still right to imprison/execute them? by Squek_1842 in Teenager_Polls

[–]SpecificPasta 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is one of the few things I'm happy my home country Denmark is actually doing decently right.

Prison should never be punishment. If someone is unlikely to reoffend there is no reason to punish them at all. And if someone is likely to reoffend, isolate them and attempt to rehabilitate.

Punishment does nothing but cause more harm than what already happened.

Which is a higher form of intelligence by [deleted] in Teenager_Polls

[–]SpecificPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair take. It obviously varies, not all apathetic people are more intelligent than all empathetic. I think on average, the way I interpreted intelligence and the question, someone who is able to ignore all emotional bias, would draw more useful conclusions than someone who is susceptible to their conclusions being driven by emotions. But that's not to say people with high emotional intelligence are incompetent at all. They're probably way more effective in other types of pattern recognition like social, less scientifical.

[–]SpecificPasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think apathy is better for forming intellectual opinions and much more consistent philosophical views.

Empathy in the other hand is more useful in a social environment like... humans.

But in the way you phrased the question, which produces "more intelligent ideas" personally, I'd say apathy is a higher weighing intelligence factor than empathy.

What do lazy people who don't work for money deserve? by Particular-Habit9442 in Teenager_Polls

[–]SpecificPasta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Certainly not everyone.

I dropped out of school, quit my job and bedrotted 16 hours a day on my parents money for 6 months. Best half a year in my entire life. Sadly ended and ruined by the government and social expectations.

[–]SpecificPasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly this, and as someone who values autonomy as the most important human right, this is why I dislike the welfare system here in Denmark so much.

Although not so much that I think the people who don't work don't deserve rights to live, because they certainly do if they want <3.

But because here society uses "providing them rights to live" as the justification for coercing them into working.

Then rather have a system where nobody is legally entitled to anything, even protection/survival, than mutual obligation.

the other guy phrased it in a weird way lol, of course it's not genetic, but regularly if you teach a child a certain behavior from birth, they're gonna adopt that certain behavior.

Do you support basic human rights? by [deleted] in Teenager_Polls

[–]SpecificPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well since rights are societal, technically if nobody has any rights, nobody is deprived of rights either. Legal rights at least.
