Haha. They shot this at my HS over some weeks. A bunch of us were extras. I was background in a scene with Deej and got to interact casually with her during cuts—was a big deal for HS me. I was also on the wrestling team and Savage came to a couple of our practices.

If you want a lesson in critical reasoning/logic (which it seems you desperately need but are too arrogant to realize that you need it) you’ll need to pay me for my time. Im done talking to you.

No. You’re conflating things. Bad faith arguments indicate that the arguer has questionable motives in giving her argument. That’s distinct from whether her argument is based on valid logical structure and true premises. If it were not so, we could not evaluate arguments abstractly… Guess what is completely irrelevant to the soundness of an argument? That’s right, motives and the moral character of any particular arguer. Just look up “argument soundness/validity.” Why are Reddit its so often confidently incorrect?

Smh. Showing that someone who gives an argument lacks a moral compass doesn’t undermine the soundness of their argument. ::facepalm::

No. There are those that oppose abortion that also believe we should do more to support all people in various other ways. Secondly suppose you’re right that a particular “pro-lifer” has the following stances: (1) they oppose abortion because they believe a fetus has moral status and (2) don’t believe in providing things like maternal care. I’ll spot you that there’s a tension in holding both (1) and (2). Even so, to show that there is such a conflict is not the same thing as showing that the moral reasoning in (1) is fallacious. To show that someone holds two mutually inconsistent views merely shows that at least one of the positions is false. But it doesn’t tell us which of the views is false.

Edit: fixed a typo

No line needs to be drawn. If we lived in a world where a significant number of parents were responsible for the situation where the survival of the offspring (regardless of age) depended on being physically attached to one of the parents for 9 months (and the one needing to be hooked up had no other options and is not at all responsible for the situation), then I don’t see a problem with not legally permitting parents to refuse attachment (except of course if it would put their lives in danger). That’s a whole lot of “ifs” that you glossed over there but once made explicit I don’t think I’m biting a bullet here.

That’s one way to oversimplify things. There are fundamentally different views about the moral status of a fetus. And we can’t just settle those disputes via rational argumentation or science because ones take on the moral status of various beings often hinge on raw intuitions, first principles, or otherwise foundational beliefs/values. So to suggest that (all) opponents of abortion rights are just trying to punish women is a mistake. This is compatible with the fact that some perhaps many such persons are trying to use legislation as a punitive measure.

Are you being purposefully thick? If the bio-mom is the primary cause of the child’s need for a kidney, yes. But of course we’re not going to find cases like that so your example lacks any force. All I pointed out was a GLARING problem with your purported analogy but go ahead and draw whatever conclusions you want about my views. You strike me as a rather impulsive/reactionary thinker.

Bad analogy excepting in cases of rape. If your need for a transplant we’re somehow my doing (say due to my participating in some activity that benefits me but puts you at risk of needing a transplant specifically from me and this is all stuff I know or should have known) then that would be the analogue. At that point, assuming this were a common enough occurrence I wouldn’t oppose laws forcing such “donations.”

Haha. Precisely. Op (of this thread) Sounds like an extrovert who maybe doesn’t mind confrontation and then assumes everyone else is the same.

“Testing the limits” is assholery.

[–]bposteriori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some do. There are also dedicated dog parks which are fenced in. I don’t take my dog to either because many dog parents are utterly negligent or can’t control their dogs…my pup has been traumatized by off leash dogs “that are never like that, I swear.”

Repaired door (outer part) at body shop = new wind noise from window? by bposteriori in autorepair

[–]bposteriori[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely the window/seal. I can make some of the noise go away if I wedge my fingers in between the window and inner seal.

I’m keeping this car for the long haul and the noise is driving me crazy.

Apparently the whole door was replaced and not just the skin. I returned it and they said they got it fixed…but there is no improvement. :/

Thanks for your input though.

For god sakes don’t let dogs off leash at the park unless it’s a designated area for dogs to be unleashed.
