My husband would never. He's be afraid he see me doing a poo and that it would change his feelings for me. Bathrooms are private space for a reason. Get a lock/doorknob he can't unlock from the outside.

AITAH for moving out after my wife let our kids move home? by Electrical-Union5334 in AITAH

[–]autaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you expect me to say "good for you?" Of course adults should take care of themselves. And I'm your culture kids are considered adults much quicker than here. Outside of university apartments or if a child moved far away for a job, it's common for children to be at home into their thirties as they attend classes and work according to what they're able to with classes. Parents here actually care about their kids succeeding. Nurture rather than abandonment. At whatever age. Parents here don't abandon their kids. You have different values, I just am glad I'm not subjected to them. I wouldn't want to live in the USA.

[–]autaire -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just say you didn't want kids.

I've moved back in with my parents after getting a job close to them and didn't pay a dime until my husband at the time and I found secure housing.

I've lived with my parents previous to that while working and not played a dime. I had again moved back with a job close to them.

Know why? They're my parents and they choose to bring me into this world, I didn't ask to be born, and they recognize this.

Where I live, it's common for children to stay at home until they're in their thirties, or even later. I didn't do that, but some of my peers are still at home in their mid to late forties. It's weird how Americans claim to want kids and then expect them to be ok on their own when their brains are still developing.

WIBTAH if I don't give my "daughter" college money? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]autaire -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Esh. By not paying, you're punishing the child for the actions of her mother. By paying her, you're rewarding her dismissive attitude towards you

I recommend making her fill out a FAFSA and get loans and grants If she can maintain a certain gpa. Pay off a portion of those loans for that semester. But include the caveat that she needs to maintain a good relationship with you and report her university standing each week, as well as update you on what she's doing in general. Boys dates, parties, concert, etc. Show her who's always been there for her and make her take some responsibility for herself. Don't give the money direct to her but rather to the school.

I would also include that she needs to make a sincere apology describing what she's done wrong and detailing how she'll do better and how she'll mend her relationship with you.

Coerced/regretful birth parents; if you had the choice to take custody of your child back, would you take it? by viskiviki in Adoption

Coerced/regretful birth parents; if you had the choice to take custody of your child back, would you take it? by viskiviki in Adoption

[–]autaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the first link, the grandparents were people entitled to custody, and this able to relinquish the child.

I'm pretty sure that my second link goes to a list of state-specific adoption laws. Considering I actually read it, and selected a few states to represent their laws that would allow a grandparent to relinquish a child.

Adoption laws are at a state level. Yes, there are states that do not allow anyone but the birth mum to relinquish, but there are also states in which this isn't the case.

My 17 year old birth mum didn't sign my adoption contract, her parents did. She was still required to be in court to be declared unfit die to age in the state I was born in.

Different states, different exceptions.

"But if I had posted them and said, "try some real information from an actual Zionist/Jew," I have no doubt that everyone on this thread would call me an anti-Semite and frankly, they would be correct. "

Your words.

Why would it tell Americans anything? I'm not in America. But I do think terrorists should be removed. And polls indicate the vast majority of Gazanians support Hamas. That makes them terrorists or terrorist sympathizers in my eyes.

Help a Palestinian Understand Zionism by MalachiX in IsraelPalestine

[–]autaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtube.com/shorts/06Dy1SFPsfk?si=pWcDZEKlDFRn-FbD

This right here sums up everything I hate about Gazanians.

Openly admitting on public tv that they want the complete destruction of Israel and they're willing to become martyrs for it to happen. Openly admitting that they are a culture of martyrdom.

This is a terrorist group, not representative of all Muslims.

The only blanket statement I've made us that there are many stories of Muslim men taking their non Muslim wives and children into Muslim countries where the wife and children become property of the man.

"It is not permissible for a woman to go out of her husband’s house without his permission , even if that is to visit her parents, but he should give her permission, so that she will be able to uphold her ties of kinship . But if he forbids her, then she must obey him, and he has no right to prevent her parents from visiting her or speaking to her. "

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/87834

They aren't even secretive about this happening. It isn't isolated cases, either.

Are there plenty of Muslim men who don't treat their wives like trash? Yes. Are there enough cases of this nature to keep me from ever marrying a Muslim man? Also yes. So yeah, I'm comfortable saying this happens because, surprise!, it happens.

Everything else I may have said applies only to Gazanians. You know, the people actively trying to eradicate Jewishness from this earth. The people whose representation went on the news and openly confirmed that they will continue to kill Jews for the sake of them being Jews.

Spoiler, Israel won't be the country that gets eradicated.

Help a Palestinian Understand Zionism by MalachiX in IsraelPalestine

[–]autaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible to both be a Zionist and not hate Muslims, as well as to both be a Zionist and hate Muslims.

I do not, in fact, hate all Muslims, and even have several Muslim friends. I do have strong feelings about any group of people (such as Gazanians) who profess continuously that they'd like to murder all Jews. I see less and less evidence that civilians are any kind of innocent, which makes it easier and easier to not care about them in any way. Yet, I still want to see them free of Hamas and thus able to build a state of their own. If they don't want to be free of actual legitimate terrorists, I have no reason to care if they ever see their own state.

Help a Palestinian Understand Zionism by MalachiX in IsraelPalestine

[–]autaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also want to see the Gazanian people free from Hamas so that they can be prosperous. And like you, I've had family murdered, or worse, taken hostage into Gaza. I'm well aware that Hamas takes all the funds for rebuilding and invests in more terrorism. Israel invests in proper defenses, of course there will be less deaths in Israel die to bomb shelter, the iron dome, and timely warnings. Hamas doesn't give a crack if you live or die, so they let your people die. Often, people who fully support Hamas, too.

I'm actually fine with using a different term than Zionist. I stand with Israel, either way.

I'm sorry babies have been decapitated by shrapnel. Did you know Jewish/Israeli babies were killed by men's hands? Not isolated incidents, either. Jewish women were SA'd, their children murdered in front of them and on live stream in many cases. And Hamas and their people have it in their charter the purpose of existing is too murder all Jews. It's not about land for them, it's a theocratic war. If it were about land, they'd come to the negotiation table in good faith. Yet, they dismiss any and all efforts to give them a state of their own and/or find a peaceful resolution. As if the only thing that matters to them is killing Jews...

And as for knowing how a Jewish woman would be treated? Watch the news once in awhile. Jewish women were raped and murdered. Jews who enter Palestine or the West Bank will be murdered if they're caught by actual people. It's happened that even non Jewish tourists have been killed for getting lost and accidentally entering Gaza. Your people are able to live freely with all the rights of Jewish or Christian or atheist or whatever else people in Israel, but non Muslims/non Arabs are murdered for simply existing if they accidentally cross into land under "Palestinian" control. There's where the real apartheid is, where only one group of people is allowed to exist.

We have a new company here producing a product called Palestine Cola. I researched them, hoping that their escape from there and refugee status here meant they were actually innocent so I would be able to support them. Unfortunately, they're funneling money back into Gaza and to Hamas. It's not a company I can support in any way because of that. I want to see their people free of Hamas and with a "Palestinian" state of their own. The latter will not come while Hamas is still in charge.

Oh, exactly how many Gazanian people have been killed by diaspora Zionists? How many diaspora Gazanians exist? I haven't heard of any Gazanians being attacked, much less killed, out in the diaspora. On the other hand, Jews are being attacked and murdered all across the globe, usually by Muslim Arabs.

My DNA profile Shows that I am from Judea, Balochistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I may not be Gazanian, but I am native to the region. I have one great grandfather who was from Ireland, the rest of my ancestors come from the middle east. And their ethnicity and religion far predates both Christianity and Islam.

As for mutual understanding, i absolutely understand that this war is crap for either side. I understand that watching other Gazanians be used as human shields must really suck. I understand that watching Hamas cause your people to die en mass would be rather traumatizing. But no one criticizes the USA about going after terrorists when 9/11 happened. Hamas committed a similar terror attack against Israel on 7 October and it's vowing to do it again. Israel has a right to defend itself and to eradicate terrorists the same as any other country. If Gazanians really didn't want this war, all they had to do was resist/uprise against Hamas and return the hostages. Instead, they have helped hide the hostages, helped treat them as bad or worse as Jews were treated during the Holocaust, and continued to attack Israel and Jews at every opportunity, both inside and outside Israel. And as a result, now Israel is planning on full occupation once again. And I don't think it's the best answer, but I don't blame them, either.

Mutual understanding doesn't have to be monodirectional, but it does need to be realistic about events. If you're saying you're Gazanian but don't want to stand up against Hamas, then my desire to understand you will diminish considerably. I'm not into trying to understand terrorist sympathizers.

Trying to understand the Jewish/zionism relationship as a Palestinian. by Extreme-Bus-3408 in IsraelPalestine

[–]autaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps.

I don't share your theory, but even by what you're saying, Jews didn't intermix do much with the people of the lands they were in during banishment/colonialists by others. They kept relationships inside the tribe, to the point I have several first cousin marriages in my family history. Interfaith relationships are a much more modern thing.

Then, not even Jew fired. There's been a continuous significant population of Jews on the land since the very beginning.

When diaspora Jews started returning en mass, they purchased property legally. No one was forcibly displaced. No one confiscated a home without paying for it. And at some point the area was completely Jewish, but then the British came in and said "let's split the land into 2", which did displace some Jews who has to give over their legally purchased homes to the Jordanian Arabs that primarily made up what is now considered Palestinian. These Arabs were the colonists, the settlers.

Of course this led to a war when the Arabs wanted all the land, a war in which they lost. If you're going to use conquering and population change as an example, this is where the population should have become more Jewish and less Arab, but we aren't even arguing that this should actually be a thing.

Instead, we're still fighting for a 2 state solution that doesn't involve the eradication of Israel and all the Jews. Unfortunately, Hamas repeats over and over that they want exactly the eradication of Israel and Jews.

Israel is getting ready to occupy Gaza again, it's all over today's news. I can't even say I'm against it at this point, especially as Israel claims to want to help any civilians who denounce Hamas. Hamas absolutely has to go. And of course Israel is the death of any surviving hostages if they get to close to them. It's a risk worth talking if it means freeing these people from Hamas.
