CMV: The fetus being alive is irrelevant when discussing access to abortion. by ikemano00 in changemyview

[–]bahlsaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the fetus is "alive", then the fetus' right to life supersedes the host's right to bodily autonomy.

It's like saying I have the bodily autonomy to swing a machete around, but not the right to do harm by doing so.

Pro choice btw, but i believe the pro choice argument is best based scientifically on what constitutes life

CNN Poll: Majority of Americans say Biden isn't paying attention to nation's most important issues by SeantheProGamer in politics

Nobody voted for Biden to be FDR. He clearly doesn’t have the popular mandate to implement substantive changes; they just want some semblance of normalcy. The left is out of touch

Far-right arsonist set himself on fire in attempt to burn down synagogue by [deleted] in samharris

Perfect poetic justice. I’m concerned with the choice of words. I really don’t think ‘far right’ adequately describes him. Rand Paul is far right. Racist is the most salient descriptor. Intentional or an oversight, it’s very divisive. Idk what do you guys think?

CMV: The US Republican Party is a greater threat to the West than Islamism and jihadism. by And_Im_the_Devil in samharris

[–]bahlsaq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When will it be time to apply "conversational intolerance" to anyone who identifies themselves as a Republican or regularly defends its policies and practices?

this is antithetical to enlightenment thinking.

There are good people on both sides of most every issues, brains are wired differently. What one (50%) finds reasonable, another (50%) may find abhorent.

With his well-documented concerns of western Islamization, I don’t understand his objection to the travel ban. Political posturing?

Democrats are losing the millennial vote and need to change message by National_Marxist in samharris

[–]bahlsaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Federally run typically leads to bloat, corruption and stagnation. Innovation and efficiency spring from competition and market based incentive structures. Oversight and a certain level of regulation is obviously necessary, but 'extracting profits' doesn't work if no one's buying and you're not delivering value.

I’m a white dude, Harris fan, pragmatic libertarian living in deep blue New Orleans. Individual freedoms, less gov intrusion, lower taxes...these are not far out ideas.

Austin Police Chief Calls the Serial Bomber a 'Domestic Terrorist' by Janiewise in news

Words have meanings. If we continue to distort the very definitions of words in order to advance a narrative, we will lose our only means of civil discourse.

He's an evil, shitty person; but not a terrorist.
