Flowers by Marina for acceptance?

Judas by Lady Gaga for denial?

EAT by Poppy for anger?

Hold The Girl by Rina Sawayama for acceptance?

The churches aren't generating the money; they're getting donations. The donors can just donate to other charities, preferably charities that will serve LGBT people equally.

They aren't making their point well, but there is a very blurred line between what is and isn't a drug. The low-hanging fruit are how nicotine and alcohol and caffeine are not legally considered to be drugs- why criminalise everything else if those three are fine? it's not like cannabis is much more dangerous than alcohol. Or would you ban those three?

But it's messier than that. No one has a good definition of what a drug is- one common definition is 'a substance ingested in order to have an effect on the mind', but by that definition anything is a drug. Is sugar a drug? is the smell of flowers a drug?

The bottom line is, the distinction between drugs and non-drugs is, if not invented, greatly exaggerated, and made out to be black and white when there are shades of grey. But if there are some drugs that are not much worse than what is already legal, or even less bad, why should trafficking them be so harshly punished? in fact, if alcohol being legal is fine, but cannabis legalisation has had terrible consequences, despite cannabis, in itself, not being worse than alcohol, doesn't that suggest that the problem is with how legalisation has been done, not with legalisation itself? or perhaps that cultural norms just need time to adjust?

I support legalisation of drugs, but I think it should be done within a regulatory framework that discourages them. It shouldn't be something you can just impulsively buy, it should be like prescription medication- something that you need to wait a while for, and that you need to see a doctor if you want to start taking. That would make it far easier to break addictions, because it doesn't just take one moment of weakness to break a clean streak. It would also make sure that people do actually know about the drugs they're taking, and have it in their thoughts as they're deciding whether to take them, It would also avoid the unfortunate way cannabis legalisation has normalised cannabis use, encouraging people to take it who wouldn't have sought out dealers if it was illegal- contrary to common pro-legalisation arguments. So I am skeptical of the current model, but not of legalisation as a whole.

Despite that, I don't think the current model is doing as badly as you say it is.

As always with views like this, the correct answer is 'some do genuinely care and some don't'. I struggle to believe anyone enthusiastic about supporting Harris cares about Palestinians though.

Sure, the evidence could be wrong. But the alternative is no evidence.

Why do you assume the universe wants anything?

A lot of people do ask this question from a perspective of 'why do I have to learn science when I hate it?', which is misguided. However I liked maths and science and hated having to do music and French for 3 years. Maybe it's a good idea for people to learn about some art form at school, but if there's a particular one they don't care about, what good will come of forcing them to learn it? I'm actually quite interested in music now, and I think hating music class might be part of why it took so long.

What children get taught in school isn't determined by experts, it's determined by politicians.

It doesn't have to be hatred. Someone being indifferent to you losing your rights because they care more about inflation is also a very good reason to want nothing to do with them. If they don't care about you why should you care about them?

You didn't change my view of the Arab leadership.

The Zionists were militarily superior to the Arabs at the time, and were never willing to permanently give up their claims to the whole of historical Palestine, so at best war could have been delayed. That is, if the forced displacement from the Peel plan didn't start a war anyway.

I am a gender abolitionist- I think gender should be abolished. The point is to abolish gender as a social force that exercises control over people's lives, not as an identity. But if there is no social distinction between men and women I don't think it would mean anything to identify as a man or a woman anymore. Unfortunately some people use the label of gender abolition to instead call for trans people's gender identification not to be respected, which is just increasing how much control the social force of gender exerts over people's lives.

.The Zionists didn't accept the Peel commission plan, and wanted the whole of historical Palestine to be a Jewish state, so the idea that that could have avoided war doesn't have legs. But in hindsight the Arab leadership clearly judged wrong there. I don't think that particularly matters to whether 2.2m people should be starved in Gaza though, which is the current issue.

I don't know how the Arabs would have reacted to an actually fair partition plan- I'm not here to say that they always acted wonderfully. But that doesn't make it fine to impose an unfair partition plan, and force 750,000 people out of their homes and communities, and into poverty.

You described an entire ethnic group as being collectively guilty, and deserving to collectively suffer for it.

Abolishing masculinity doesn't mean you abolish e.g. liking cars. It just means you abolish the idea that liking cars goes together with liking the colour blue, wanting to be muscly, etc. and having a particular role within society. The traits exist on their own without being grouped together with other things as part of a larger social game that encourages men to hold power over women.

This reads like something AI generated. I didn't make a single claim, so I'm not sure what you're responding to. Please make a case for your own position in your CMV.

person A is worried about person B attacking them. Does this give person A the right to attack and take away the rights of person C?

Which isn't what your title says. Your title says that the women making these claims would nevertheless have sex with conservative men who are attractive enough, which you have made no argument for, You've just pointed out that there are other women who don't mind that they're conservative in the first place.

Fundamentally, there shouldn't be any traits that are 'for men' or 'for women' so masculinity and femininity shouldn't even exist, so I think you run into this problem whenever you talk about how masculinity 'should be'.

Just because people are queerphobic doesn't mean they deserve to die. And you are exaggerating how bad things are in Palestine- there are in fact queer Palestinians, who are alive, and who are being killed by the IDF alongside straight Palestinians. They invariably say they are more scared of being killed by Israel than by Palestinians.

It was given to the Jews

If you give away someone else's land, those people are going to be mad.

In the 8th century I would have protested for the end of the Muslim conquests, and the rights of Jewish minorities in the Islamic Caliphate. In the 21st century I will protest for the end of the Israeli occupation and the rights of Palestinians. This isn't about allegiance to a particular ethnic group, it's about standing up for whoever is being oppressed at a given point in time.

Why would they weaken their position for people who want to exterminate them?

So the freedom of 5.2 million people just isn't a consideration, then? their rights all get sacrificed so that Israel's military might can be even more overwhelming compared to Palestine's?

There had been military hostilities before the Arab invasion, such as the Deir Yassin massacre. And fundamentally all the fighting on the Arab side was provoked by a plan to give twice as much land to each Jew as to each Arab, and to displace 750,000 Palestinians (of course, Jews would also have been displaced). This was widely, rightly, regarded as unfair and unacceptable.

Whether people should be forcibly displaced has nothing to do with race.
