From one parent to another - Children are not pawns for their parents. You put them at risk every time you use them on social media. Also, children will treat their parents (and others) the way they have been treated. If you want a respectful child then you need to treat them with respect. If you let them do whatever they want then you are raising the next generation of Karens. So sad.

In those years before reliable birth control, my mother bore five children; together, we produced seven off-spring, one if whom is severely mentally disabled and won’t be reproducing, one of whom died as a child, one of whom is schizophrenic and very likely will not have children, and one of whom has already stated she doesn’t want any children. Overall, the Jett/Kent family is doing its share of reigning it in!

I have a disease that will kill me in a few years. Between now and then my mind will stay intact but my body will lose all ability to even eat or breathe on my own. My friends and family want me to stick it out so they can have me in their lives. But many have ghosted me because they are afraid I’ll end my life, which has been full and beautiful, before I choke to death or can’t suck air into my lungs. They say that would be selfish. I think they’re being selfish.

I've never agreed with "suicide is selfish" as an argument. You choose your own path. It's wonderful when people can come into your life and light a path that you did not see which will inspire you to continue. But in some cases (such as a terrible disease) you really can see that the only way forward is rife with suffering. You should have the right to choose whatever leads to the least amount of suffering.

That people found guilty of rape, murder or child molestation should be left alone for 15 minutes in a locked room with the victim's family. The family could either choose to forgive and move on or beat the ever lovin' tar out of the offender.

I also believe that plea bargaining needs to be taken off the table in most cases...especially as it relates to violent crimes.

I do believe that there should be more programs in prison like the ones in Louisiana that take rescued dogs and send them to the prison to be trained by inmates. Some of those dogs are well trained enough to become service dogs. It gives the dog another chance and gives a prisoner the means to care about someone else and motivations to do better while incarcerated.

I agree, however, having gone to Catholic school where we wore uniforms it's cheaper than wearing regular clothes, there is no making fun of or bullying someone because of what they wear as their parents can't afford any different. We were all equal. No fashion judgement. And you don't have to spend time figuring out what to wear the next day and whether it's going to look cool. These are just the advantages I, and a lot of other girls and parents found. But flipping out about widths of straps on tops, being able to see bra straps etc. Please.

You shouldn't verbally attack people who disagree with you. Democracy is about having the freedom to believe what they want and express those beliefs. A lot of people are claiming to be pushing for equal rights and freedom of voice, but those same people shame and suppress those that disagree with them.
There's also a difference between hating and disagreeing. For example, say I didn't agree with the LGBTQ+ community. But these are thoughts and feelings I kept to myself. I have Gay and Trans friends that I treat the same way I would treat my other friends. They wouldn't even expect I felt like this unless I told them. If I still love the people in the LGBTQ+ Community like I would anyone else, do I really deserve to be talked to like I'm a horrible, evil person? If I actively discriminated against them, that's one thing, but just not liking one of a person's traits is not a crime.
Even so, YOU CAN'T FIGHT HATE WITH HATE! The only way to fight hate is with love. Turning against each other only makes the animosity grow. We need to come together and accept our differences and work to make the world a better place.

Some ideas should be (verbally) attacked, vigorously, and wherever they are found. Everyone sane hates the Nazis. Let's use them as an example. Imagine a Nazi was telling you that you have the right to disagree silently with the Third Reich, but you should not have the right to tell them what evil bastards they are. Because telling them their ideology is not only stupid, but evil is a form of hate speech and by speaking out about them you hurt their fee-fees. Disagreeing with them they say is violence, and so when they decide to kill you, they say, its self defense. Maiming you is something to brag about, to be proud of, because you said something they didn't like and now people feel justified in hounding you at work, at home, and online. After all, you engaged in hate speech. How dare you have a contrary opinion.

Other parts of your body gets damaged, that will kill you too. It just seems that the odds are really against the bike rider. Also, provides for a pretty stressful time for the driver of the car. Bike lanes are great but it's hellish for the cars trying to make turns.

All right, I know I might get backlashed for this, but here we go..

I think that the BLM movement has gone too far. I'm not saying this because I'm racist white trash, I'm saying this because they're rioting and burning buildings without any consequences as well as removing the memories of the people who shaped our country.

Also, the fact that we have to mention race in news stories?? Like if a WHITE man kills a WHITE man, that doesn't get mentioned. But if a WHITE man kills a BLACK man it's racist. Racism is not always a factor in this type of stuff, and there are other motives.

Finally, everything is offensive nowadays. I mean, they'll label anything you say that they don't like as something or the other and they'll get all their friends and bash you for it. I just think that it's stupid..

ok, so the “BLM movement” as you said isn’t speaking for all protesters or news sites. in every instance of a protest or fight against something there are people who use the movement to try and be a hero or live out their dreams of destroying the government or whatever. these people are not the BLM movement or what it stands for. you have to understand that the BLM movement is a movement for peace and equality. the people rioting are just angry and causing more harm than helping but this doesn’t mean that the i tire movement is wrong. also of corse news stations will be pushing race in their articles, race is a very popular and weighted discussion in the world right now and the news wants people to read the articles so they will put in as much controversial stuff as they can. and you say that everything is offensive now, well it may be true that there are a lot of thingslike cancel culture, you should try and ask why something hurts someone and understand where they are coming from.

Tolerance does not equal celebration. The very definition of tolerance is that you tolerate someone’s actions, existence, whatever, even though you don’t agree with it. Currently it’s being used to say “if you don’t agree with me and celebrate the fact that I exist and do the stuff I do, clearly you’re hateful and a terrible person.” That’s not tolerance, you’re asking for celebration. Which is all well and good, but I don’t think celebration should be required. People are all entitled to their own opinion, and if my opinion is that, say, orange is a terrible color and people who think orange is awesome are wrong, I’m allowed to believe that. Now, I don’t think people should be allowed to go and scream at people wearing orange and call them names or anything, but just saying that people who think orange is awesome are wrong isn’t hateful, it’s just an opinion. My opinion isn’t hurting anyone. Disagreement is not the same as animosity. I just think that people shouldn’t think that “tolerance” means “complete acceptance and praise”, it means “I agree that you’re entitled to your opinion, even though I think it’s wrong. I can coexist with you without agreeing with you.” People always say that Christians are “intolerant” because the Bible says that homosexual acts are sinful. But that’s not intolerance, that’s an opinion. Now sure, calling homosexual people slurs and refusing to associate with them would be intolerance, but simply believing that they’re wrong and stating that fact isn’t. The Bible actually teaches tolerance (“love your neighbor as yourself”, “love your enemies and pray for them”, “do unto others what you would have them do unto you”, any of that ring a bell?), however it does not say that we have to agree with everything everyone does.

There is usually no difference between opposing groups except their labels.

Left/Right wing: Both have extreme opinions against people that don't share their views and consider any means necessary to archive their goals

Bigots/SJWs: Both make use of racism to boost their messages, both use minorities to their advantage and call people that disagree with them names.

Overall there is too much hypocrisy in every group. Like "Friday for Future" leaving behind tons of plastic waste after demonstrations or groups claiming to "defend the democracy" while completely disregarding votings (January 6th in the USA, State elections 2020 in Thuringia, Germany)

I don't believe in "good" and "evil." I think most people lean on these ideas as a way to simplify the complexities and challenges of the real world i.e. it's convenient to just say Bezos is Satan incarnate, rather than learn his upbringing and how his brain works against the backdrop of an endlessly competitive system that will inevitably have someone at the top. Worst of all, we might then have to accept that we share many traits with him, and he's just better and luckier in the right ways.

We all run on our own blend of motivations and I think discussing these openly and evenly with a goal to understand is the only path to any kind of harmony. In other words, I believe common ground has to be built, not merely found.

I believe there is god and evil, but I don’t think any one person can be entirely good or entirely evil. I mean, if you think about it, someone trying to be entirely evil would have to destroy everything good in their life. Oh look, friendship is good! No more friends. Oh look, skin is good! No more skin. Oh look, being alive is good! No more being alive. See the problem? Anyone trying to be truly evil would eventually just go insane.

Not all Nazis were terrible people. I know that sounds super bad, given how terrible the actions of the Nazi party were, but hear me out. Everyone always uses Nazis as examples of unforgivably terrible people, but often the lower level party members were only in the party under threat of death. Hitler and his upper level cronies were terrible, their actions were unspeakably evil, I definitely agree with that. But there actually have been reports of people in the lower levels actively trying to destroy the party from the inside (unsuccessfully). And for many of them, it was either join the party or die, and joining the party seemed like the better option at the time. Also, think about the youth programs. These kids have been brought up as “future comrades”, their whole life or whole schooling has been focused on Nazi ideology, that’s really all they know. It’s not entirely their fault. If you had been taught for as long as you could remember that some people weren’t people and were enemies to be killed, and you were never told anything different, ever, don’t you think you might have started to believe it? It’s the same with many cults, the people who were convinced to join weren’t at fault for the actions of the leaders. Islamic extremists too, yes, blowing up buildings and killing tons of people is very bad from most people’s perspective, but often that’s all they know. Young kids are very impressible, what they’re taught is what they believe. Just because someone is associated with a group that did something terrible doesn’t mean the individual person is evil.

Alanis Morissette's song 'Ironic' was indeed a fine description of irony. It's just that people have a very narrow concept of irony and expect the individual vignettes to convey a sense of the worst thing happening and the least opportune time (poetic irony), and most don't. But there is another kind of irony, Cosmic Irony - that sense that your life is a joke that god is having at your expense. That's what the song is about. Things are 'a little too ironic' for it to be anything but god toying with you.

Congress changed multiple other holidays to make them Monday holidays, change our Independence day to the first Friday in July. The Declaration, from what I understand, was signed over a 9 day period, and the Fourth was chosen as a middle ground, as it were.
We could stay up late celebrating on Friday night, then have two more days to clean up, while always having three days off in a row.

Sometimes people assume you're a drug addict, based only off of the fact that you are underweight. I've been trying to gain weight since I was 14, and I'm nearly 40 now. Sometimes, the human body just does its own thing no matter how we wish it would behave. Please don't assume all thin people have gotten that way on purpose.

Preferring summer to winter, and spring to autumn aren't really controversial, but they are opinions. Despite my enjoyment of being indoors, there are health benefits to being outside. Again, another non-controversial opinion. "G" makes different sounds, which is why "legend" isn't pronounced as "leg-end" (unless you're an idiot) and why "egg" isn't pronounced as "ejj" (also unless you're an idiot). Chickens would have evolved from something, but many species would have laid eggs before what we know to be a chicken had reached it's current stage of evolution. Toilet paper is usually placed on the holder horizontally, so it is sideways. Whether it hangs over or under is irrelevant, as long as it doesn't tear badly.

An inheritance is left to help those who need it so they don't have to struggle so badly. If they choose to squander it instead, that's their own stupid fault.

So, basically, people suffering from depression and other mental issues shouldn't be treated for them, but instead congratulated for wanting to commit suicide? I wanted to kill myself once a very long time ago. I was too stupid to choose the right pills and felt very very sleepy instead. I have no idea what I was thinking, but now I know life is great. My point is don't use permanent solutions for temporary problems. Euthanasia due to severe and painful illness is a very different thing, which doesn't seem to be the one you're talking about.

I was brought up being told you ONLY take out a loan to 1) pay for your college/university education, 2) to purchase a house and 3) MAYBE to buy a car. You ONLY buy what you have the CASH for (not what the bank says you have "enough credit" to buy). Fresh out of college, I did NOT follow my parents' advise. I ended up spending 13 years trying to pay off my foolish use of credit cards during my first two years after graduation. Those were really rough years of HALF my salary going to pay off the interest on those credit cards! It is better to live BELOW your means (i.e. don't spend your entire paycheck on what you need to live! Choose a simpler life-style & SAVE MONEY every payday). This would be my urgent message to all young folks. That and "be kind to everybody". My Babci (Polish grandmother) would say, "Don't spit into the wind. It might get blown back into your face"....That would be my second "urgent message".

In law - you can. But it has never been considered acceptable. I remember when I was young if you saw a woman hit, punch or slap a man you'd think 'what did he do that she had to hit him?' Now, thankfully, we realise that women can also abuse men and those who do are, increasingly, being prosecuted for it. My worry is that this 'being allowed to fight back' is being used by those who actually just want to abuse women..

I think I'll go with pronatalism. So the antinatalist position articulated by Prof David Benatar is that human life is mostly suffering, so, we should pre-emptively abort all pregnancies. Really! You can google him. "Better to have never been", his book is called. My position here is the opposite. Humans have the greatest moral value. Some may argue that some animals have greater value, but I doubt it's sincere. Otherwise they'd be vegans. So, if humans have the greatest moral value, it follows that we should actively try make more humans, as they're capable of great moral good, and, if morality is additive (more good things = greater good), then we should have more people. The questions obviously arise like (a) unwanted pregnancies and (b) overpopulation and (c) Hitler etc. To (a), it's a woman's choice, to (b), just limit people to one kid per family. To (c), yes, you get aberrations, which is why we have Law.

Not to be overly pessimistic, but we've already crossed the threshold of no return and its not medicine's fault. Penicillin wasn't invented when there was so much coal smoke in London, people couldn't see across the street. Heart attacks (1st/2nd World) and water born illnesses (the rest) are still our number one causes of death but that doesn't affect the global ocean currents threatening to stop. We are going to all die because of the way we lived and refused to change, not for how long we lived. You can see the horrible deforestation of Haiti vs the Dominican Republic from space and that was completed by a country that had a life expectancy of 45.17 at the time.

That there is no universal morality.

Personally, I don't even consider this an opinion, as for morality to be universal, it would need to apply to everything imaginable at all times everywhere in the universe (and the other universes too, if the multiverse theory is correct), but people seem to understand this as if there is no morality at all, seem mortified and stop listening.

If human life is improved by technology, and, if we agree that fiat currencies are fake, and, if we acknowledge that there are no financial fundamentals underpinning cryptocurrencies, it follows that (a) commerce and capitalism is fake, and, if technology improves human lives e.g. with superpowers like knowing everything, then (b) we should implement a communist system using cryptocurrencies in which everyone has what they need (c) provided by robots, automation, etc., and (d) we should allow people limited enhancements to their biology to make their lives better, but (e) not at the cost of others or to make them superior to others.

It's time I wrote another piece: this time, a more in-depth argument against raising the minimum wage. Please no name-calling.

1: Many people claim that the minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation. False. When President Roosevelt first instated a minimum wage in 1938, it was only 25c. This converts to about 5 dollars today. Our 7.50 minimum wage exceeded inflation.

2: Now, basic economics. Supply and demand. What happens when you meddle with supply and demand and instate price controls? Shortages or surpluses. Let's assume that, at equilibrium, the price of apples is 5$. Then the government comes along and fixes the price at 10$. Who's unhappy? The consumers, who have to buy an apple at a price too high. They start avoiding buying apples (or a black market forms), and the apple industry gets destroyed. It's the same thing with wages. Let's assume John gets paid 10$. The government comes along and forces him to get paid 15$. What happens? Does he get paid more? No, he gets fired, and he is now unemployed. You see, price controls (such as a minimum wage) hurt the very people they're trying to help.

3: Now, let's miraculously assume that John doesn't get fired. What happens? Price inflation! Now, everyone thinks, "Hey, these guys are getting paid more. Let's just raise prices, since they can afford this stuff anyways!" And, as a result, purchasing power doesn't change at all.

4: Now, it's time to debunk that productivity vs wage graph. I'm sure you've all seen it, it shows worker productivity as going up but wages as stagnating. This is misleading, mainly due to the fact that they calculated 'productivity'. Bob hammers 1 nail an hour. However, his boss comes a long and gives him some new equipment, which lets him hammer 5 nails an hour. Why isn't he getting a pay raise? He used to hammer one nail, now he hammers 5 nails! It's because he's not doing any extra work. It's the fancy equipment that is doing the work, NOT him. This is the case nationwide: there is a growing amount of automation and new innovation making workers seem more 'productive', when in reality, they're not the ones doing that work.

5: Chicago raised minimum wages, and unemployment rose. Their unemployment rate rose 1 percent, even as national unemployment fell .5%.

6: Don't pretend that the entire country is slaving away working the minimum wage. This is far from true. In 2009, 5% of people worked the minimum wage. Now, only 1 percent of workers work the minimum wage. Few people are working the minimum wage than you think. People making at or below the minimum wage is 2.3 percent of all hourly-paid workers. This is information from the BLS, by the way.

These are mainly why I oppose raising the minimum wage. Again, civil discussion is welcome. I used statistics here, so don't hesitate to ask for a source.

I mean, the basis of the minimum wage should be that it is pegged to the cost of living, so that if the cost of living goes up the minimum wage keeps pace so that any one working a full time job can afford to live. I don't know what the situation is in your country, but is that principle being kept?
