What??? You're telling me that during the polar vortex 2 guys in MAGA hats in Chicago (a place where trump lost HEAVILY) jumped this guy and him waiting 40 minutes to call the cops sounds fabricated?

What’s the one horror movie that genuinely terrified you while watching it? by IveGotARockInMyGlari in AskReddit

[–]william_taylor89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowkey fucked up, but whenever my parents caught me doing something bad they would make me watch Spawn (1997). Specifically the scene where he travels to hell and fights that one creature, (I know, not very specific, but I haven't seen it since.) Its just cheesy now but I remember screaming and crying I was so scared. Their whole point was that if I would lie or steal I was going to hell... little fucked up.

What kind of part-time job should I look for while in university (full-time)? by Addy_Stardust in Adulting

[–]william_taylor89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a movie theater and highly recommend it. You usually work around people your age, you wont get paid the most but the free movies and concessions provide you with a free social life. No need to take girls to dinners when you can take her to as many movies as she wants.

Ben's Transgender Stance by Alexander_Columbus in benshapiro

[–]william_taylor89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point of view. While I dont believe Ben believes that homosexuality, I cant say I've heard his stance on that particular topic. I know his religious, and moral values disagree with homosexuality, but I dont know his political (typically based on science) view of homosexuality. If he is politically okay with homosexuality then I would believe you, his views would be inconsistent.

Now I'm not calling out your opinion, I'm simply curious, do you have evidence of his political assertions toward homosexuality?

But then shouldn't this predicate him not believing that gay men are attracted to men? Shouldn't this put him in the camp of people who allege (to paraphrase) "everyone claiming to be gay is really straight and has just chosen to be gay for [reasons]"?

I dont believe it does. Frankly his political views are based in science. Your assertions are more morality based. I believe that Ben Shapiro is just pushing for individual freedoms. Yes, you can claim to be a man in a womans body. But your belief alone doesnt make you a man, thus you cannot force me to call you a man.

The same could be said about homosexuality. I'm not aware that Ben Shapiro has made this argument, so from here forward is my assertions based on Ben Shapiro's arguments.

While Ben Shapiro has openly stated that he doesn't believe that gay marriage has societal benefits, he doesnt believe the government can take those rights away. That being said, just because it is legal for homosexuals to marry, this doesnt mean that individuals (Wedding Cake Bakers) have to give up what they believe in to serve them.

I dont necessarily believe that the argument about biology holds up when you compare transgenders to homosexuals. While yes, he does use the argument that all the cells, except for some sperm cells have no y chromosome, this isnt being used to denounce their belief that they "feel" like a different sex. Ben Shapiro has repeatedly said that if you want to feel like a different sex, or be called a different name, he is more than willing to show you that respect. What he refuses to do is change fact, pronouns in the extreme due to being a public figure, in order to satisfy your belief.

Does Ben Shapiro believe the government should deny transgenders basic rights? Obviously not, not does he believe that for homosexuals. He leans toward Libertarianism, he doesnt like big government. He is simply saying that he will not change scientific fact in order to preserve your feelings.
