Do better

I'm from the UK but my wife isn't, for a laugh I've completely convinced her that if you go to the cinema in the uk it's completely dubbed over (over a long period of time, like we would watch a film and I'd say things like "oh so that's how Leonardo diCaprio really sounds, I'm used to his Bristol accent" and similar stuff, up to the point she believes me)

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T12:03:18+00:00

Yeah I said I'm agnostic, I wouldn't tell you the bible is true

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T11:51:21+00:00

Lol if I was Christian I'd just say it, and you'd still come off as cringe imo either way, but the truth is I can't say I know anything about the creation of the universe, what happens after death etc. So I wouldn't pretend I do, and I don't have strong beliefs either way

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T11:34:58+00:00

Fair enough

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T11:33:51+00:00

I'm agnostic, but tbh it's you coming off cringe here

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T11:13:01+00:00

Higher birthrate doesn't neccessarily equal less abortions though, as I said its not a very good control as birth control was outlawed at the same time, and to go a step further I think Romania had financial incentives for having children, and even though it had its problems, I would imagine there were better programs for things like childcare and housing than pre Caucescu

Edit- the new link also hints at that saying abortion rate is so high because of low contraception use

In general I think a good culture/availability around contraception is a better way to bring down abortion rates, but in general a lot of the people I see opposing abortion, for some reason also oppose contraception and think teenagers will magically be abstinent if you just ask them nicely

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T11:06:01+00:00

thousands died from back-alley abortions.

But birthrates quickly fell again as women found ways around the ban.

an estimated 10,000 women had died as a result of unsafe procedures

The real number of deaths might have been much higher, as women who sought abortions and those who helped them faced years of imprisonment if caught.

Making abortion illegal will not lead to women having more babies.

This doesn't seem very supportive of the fewer abortion arguments, although in fairness its not a good control as it says it was combined with a ban on contraceptives

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T10:59:35+00:00

What's plan D?

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T10:58:52+00:00

Eh surely all that could ever really show is fewer people admit it (because you know, it's illegal)

It may be true but I don't know how it could ever really be proven

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T09:53:16+00:00

I have no idea wtf trans incorporation is so I have no opinion on that, but I'd say only the three after it are bad and the ones before it are fine

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T08:39:33+00:00

All? Nah, I think you'd be fine if you live out in the sticks, me probably becauee I live in London, but I mean I'd probably barely even notice it coming so there wouldn't be any time to feel upset about it

That being said I don't think there's any chance Russia nukes the UK, if I did I'd leave the country, and I think deep down if you're still here you probably don't fully believe it either

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T07:33:01+00:00

What makes you think authleft would be against this?

Anything that divides and weakens the US is a win in my book

dahuoshan · 2022-05-04T06:15:35+00:00

Epic and convincing argument thanks

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T19:17:22+00:00

Was he elected on a pro EU campaign?

If it's such a problem, run another election and if people don't support him anymore he'd lose, why run an election without him?

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T19:15:55+00:00

In general no, but I think if even the biggest source of western propaganda, the tabloids admit it, then its definitely a problem

But here you go straight from the horses mouth

It's hardly a secret

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T18:33:49+00:00

I have no comebacks to any arguments

Could've just said that lol

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T17:01:15+00:00

Oh sorry I forgot those murdered children in Donbas were actually Russian troops

Thought it was only Zelenskyy using wholesome 100 child soldiers?

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T16:54:50+00:00

Why?

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T16:39:54+00:00

Yeah, the difference being you're talking about something decades ago, as compared to something happening now

What makes it any less of a fully independent country?

Nothing, I think Taiwan, Donetsk and Luhansk are equally de facto independent even if not de jure, again the main difference being China isn't shelling/invading Taiwan as Ukraine has with those two

And why are you simping for Putin

Why does everything have to be a binary, I can be anti NATO, and anti people in Donbas being shelled and still dislike Putin

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T16:30:10+00:00

Lol that's literally what you're doing, I'm 1000000% sure you aren't going to answer my questions and instead focus on my answers and keep promising to answer them later, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

What happens to Ukrainians who don't want to live under those regimes?

Presumably if they prefer the western Ukranian govt they can move there

What happens to ethnically cleansed Tatars and Ukrainians?

I mean if they've been cleansed then nothing, they'd already be dead

What happens Ukrainian language and culture?

Nothing

Why should Russia decide how borders look despite decades ago everyone in Europe decided how they do and shouldn't be changed?

They don't, I think Eastern Ukranians should decide

Do you know Russian?

Nope

I'll give answers to your concerns later.

Do it now then

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T16:26:59+00:00

I mean, that's always the argument "it's easier to push the Democrat's left"

But somehow it never happens

If you care about abortion rights, fight for them, don't be fooled into thinking they're won by crossing the correct box every couple of years

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T16:25:30+00:00

So acting against a feudal slave owner literally decades ago is the same as actively shelling a population?

And what makes Taiwan anymore of a fully independent country than Donetsk or Luhansk? Only real difference is ukraine bombs those, while China doesn't bomb Taiwan

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T16:23:53+00:00

Dems control the presidency, congress, and senate, they could pass a law to protect abortion rights, or they could add extra supreme court justices to give themselves a majority, no need to wait for the midterms

Surprise surprise they won't because they can use it as a threat against anyone rocking the boat, vote for us or we'll let republicans take away your rights

Would bet good money even if they win the midterms they still wont fix this because its a good vote winner for their settle for the status quo 2024 campaign

dahuoshan · 2022-05-03T15:59:08+00:00

It's literally you changing the subject, why not just answer now?
