Do you include me in your list of “self-righteous jerks”? You did say “I can’t engage with any of you.”.

Oh, I love how the enlightened Left loves to tell those who are pro-life what their stance really is. I can’t tell you just how all these idiotic oversimplifications piss me off! I can’t engage with any of you. This thread used to be a place for intelligent debate. Now it’s just stereotyping ideologies by a number of self-righteous jerks.

I’m tired and irritable and not in the mood to put up with how liberals describe my views on abortion. You’re not part of that crowd. This thread is just not fun anymore, and this is why hardly post in it anymore.

Yes, it’s definitely worth joking about.
I’ll be back when I can discuss this topic without feeling too irritable.

Oh, shut up. We weren’t describing your views on abortion. We were discussing what labels regarding stance on abortion may (or may not) be more (or less) accurate in general, and our individual opinions of why they might or might not be accurate.
Now, instead of using liberal as an epithet and putting everyone of apparently opposing view in a box while complaining about how they put you in a box, why don’t you be an adult and actually try having an intelligent rational conversation.

I think that is a good idea. Believe me, you don’t want to say things due your irritableness that you’ll regret later, like I’ve been known to do.

And remember that I make a clear distinction between leftists and liberals since they are two completely different things.
Yes, please elaborate, darthrush. I really am interested in discussion about it.
I’d still like an answer to this.
JEDIT: That gif is in jest, but I really am genuinely curious.

Okay, let’s keep it civil in here. Last time we had an abortion debate, it didn’t end well for some.

I’m guessing it’s the latter.
Instead of just guessing, how about we turn to science to answer the question? I think that was more or less the point of that 10 page letter that guy from Google wrote.
He didn’t cite any scientific studies in his letter.
true. But I still say instead of guessing we should turn to science to answer the question.

Are you referring to the time when someone posted gross pics of aborted fetuses?
I think it would also help to remind people that there is a thread devoted solely to the abortion issue.

I thought you were joking at first because you’re usually more level-headed and less touchy than this.
Obviously not every person who describes themselves as pro-life has the same exact stance on all of it (and it’s more complicated than just abortions yes or no). No different how not every pro-choice person agrees on it all.
So with that out of the way, when you’ve calmed down, feel free to increase my enlightenment on the issue. You can describe how you personally differ from my characterization, or if you prefer you can describe how the more vocal portion of the right (including Evangelicals and the Republicans/Conservative who fall in line with what they want) don’t fit my descriptions.

Is a boy more into sports because he has a penis or because his Dad liked sports and the other boys liked sports and they all looked down on him until he liked sports?
I’m guessing it’s the latter.
What about transgendered people? When they are young, aren’t they given the clothes and the toys of the gender everyone things they are and they sometimes reject them and prefer the toys and cloths of the other gender?
Often, yes.
Not sure what your point is, unless you’re just agreeing with me.
My point is that maybe there is something about what gender your brain is that affects what you like that don’t like. You said that maybe the only reason a boy likes sports is because his Dad did and how other boys would look down on him for not liking sports. If what you said is true, then a person born with the mind of girl but the body of a boy would still end up liking sports and the same would true of toys and clothes, yet we know it doesn’t work like that.
Newsflash: Some girls like football and Star Wars, some boys like My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. A person with the mind of a girl but the body of a boy absolutely can end up liking sports and “boy” toys and clothes. You may think it doesn’t work like that but I guarantee you are wrong.

I agree that there are some boys that like “My Little Pony Friendship is Magic”, but my point is the overwhelming majority of people that like “My Little Pony Friendship is Magic” are going to be girls.

Newsflash: Parents want their kids to conform to their preconceived stereotypes. If their kid is a boy, they’re more likely to try to get them to act like a boy. Kids see stereotypes of gender in media. They carry these throughout their life. Kids can also be bullied if they don’t like the “right” thing. You may think it doesn’t work like that but I guarantee you are wrong.

But that doesn’t give someone license to outright tell girls that they aren’t employed in certain jobs because get-over-it. People can like what they do or dislike what they don’t. But that doesn’t excuse general meanness and bad attitude.
The point is, people should be made to feel welcome and respected in all walks of life, no matter their quirks. This man’s memo trivialized and belittled the women at his workplace. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t agree with his employer’s cultural viewpoints. He should have kept his mouth shut.

President Trump addressed the ongoing crisis between the U.S. and North Korea at a briefing on opioids in New Jersey on Tuesday, issuing a stern warning to the regime for its continued provocations.
“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” warned Mr. Trump from his golf club in Bedminster.
“They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen,” he told reporters. “He has been very threatening – beyond a normal statement,” Mr. Trump said of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. “As I said, they will be met with fire, fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before.”
Humanity has had a good run.
