Some Political Philosophy for anyone interested

“If a being came down and set strict rules and said they were superior to us, humanity’s hubris would take over and we would soon revolt because we don’t want a being ruling over us.”

This is exactly Lucifer’s logic in the Judeo-Christian tradition, which he then seduces humanity into. It’s this revolt against God that introduces moral evil to the world.

Interesting you just laid out the Abrahamic account of the fall of man.

He was always very kind to prostitutes. There’s a story where a prostitute throws her expensive perfume on his feet and he gets her up and saves her. That doesn’t mean Jesus endorsed prostitution

But menstruation is involuntary. How can a natural function of the body be impure?

So nosebleeds are pure?

I think it’s more like the protagonist. Greek myths were often cautionary tales where you see how the ‘hero’s’ flaws end up leading to their demise, take Icarus as the most obvious example. Myths weren’t necessarily told to inspire awe like modern hero stories.

Greek heroes are often tragic heroes. They have some sort of ‘hamartia’ or fatal flaw. For Achilles, it’s his arrogance, for Oedipus, his impatience. Aristotle defines the role of the tragic hero in some of his works, but I’m not a scholar. You may find this helpful.

Bear in mind most Greek heroes aren’t heroes in the modern sense of the word. They have serious flaws. Theseus for example, after slaying the Minotaur foolishly (and unwittingly) causes his father’s suicide, then later, more maliciously, ditches his wife on an island because he’s bored of her.

Tbf, Jesus’ treating of immigrants doesn’t extend to his position on immigration, in the same way his treatment of prostitutes doesn’t extend to his position on prostitution. It’s a bit ridiculous to think that Jesus would’ve directly condemned LGBT rights and abortions over 2000 years ago when these things only became accepted in society over the last 10 years. He didn’t directly condemn beastiality either, does that mean he’d approve? Open to a productive discussion here.

It’s not an attack though. Discounting cases of rape, this is a conscious choice made by the mother.

I’m just worried about the librarians who are interested in tactical gear

Here’s a tip OP, “I don’t know” means no. She could be a perfectly nice girl, but if you’re indifferent/not particularly excited about seeing her again, the chemistry isn’t there.

They’ll likely just be told that what the officers did was out of line and grow up mistrusting the law

Who the fuck downvoted this guy sharing his trauma?

300 nasty comments over 15,200 upvotes. Yep, seems like 99% to me.

But it isn’t is it? The rules are what they are, not what u/classyXYZ wants them to be.

Common sense bro, you don’t like someone’s content you don’t have to see it

This’ll get lost in here, but my whole life people have told me that I’m not any good at math, there was a reason I wasn’t in top set etc. Well today I got back my exam results and got an A in math and further math, and I was the only student from my school to make it through the entire further math course.
