No I'm just stating statistics and statistics don't lie. Facts don't care about your feelings... Facts are. Over 60% of abortions are due to poverty. Black women are statistically more likely to have abortions. The average black family has 10 times less wealth than the average white family. With...

Your situation is irrelevant. You're speaking from white privilege...."I know some black people so I can speak for the whole black community now"

I'm not dodging anything. Over 60% of abortions are due to poverty and you see more poverty in Black communities. But anyway how did we get on abortions because that's not even what this thread is about?

So I know where derailing the thread here because I don't know how we got on abortion but there's a reason you see more abortions in Black communities and it's a more nuanced problem than just.....

That was complete word salad which is Jordan Peterson's signature move 90% of what he says is just fluff. He uses a lot of flowery cryptic language to make it sound like he's saying something profound when he's really when not. He's one of those people who can talk for hours and say absolutely...

Well I don't really want to derail the thread because it's post wasn't about abortions but the reason you see more abortions in African-American communities is doing a poverty and the reason you see more poverty in African American communities is systemic racism that goes all the way back to...

Well yeah but that goes back to my point. A person who needs scripture to tell him is wrong to murder and rape is just a sociopath on a leash It really just comes down to empathy. I don't want to be murdered or raped so I'm not going to murder or rape someone. A friend of mine on Facebook who is...

Yes I can see that point but I feel like Harris makes a valid point. Because I feel like a person who needs scriptures to tell him not to murder people is probably just a sociopath on a leash Do you want to live in a society where a rape and murder goes unpunished? Neither do i. I see no reason...

Well I already said it but I guess I'll say it again. In his book The moral landscape, Sam Harris presents the argument that we can reach an objective standard formality based on human well-being That part of course is subjective because you're always going to have people who don't care about...

Actually more recent than I thought. Tennessee is currently trying to pass it https://www.actionnews5.com/2022/04/06/proposed-legislation-could-legalize-child-marriage-tennessee/

I can probably find links all day if you want them The Vatican has paid out billions in lawsuits for priests molesting kids They've even started selling their assets to pay for the lawsuits

Well if you're looking for child groomers look no further than the Catholic Church But just maybe two or three years ago Tennessee trying to remove age restrictions from marriage so had that passed, a Muslim would be able to marry a 5-year-old if he can get the parents permission. The...

Funny how people try to associate being gay with pedophilia but I live in Tennessee which has a very large Christian population in just a few years ago they tried to legalize child marriage.

Well you probably won't read it but in his book The moral landscape, hair is presents the argument that we can reach an objective standard for morality based on well being I guess not everyone is going to care about human well-being. That part is subjective but if we can subjectively agree that...

Remember when I was in the third grade one teacher was complaining to my parents because I tended to daydreaming class and she talked there must be something wrong with me so my parents took me to the doctor and turns out I just have a.d.d. Still have it as an adult. I remember there was another...

I'm pretty sure that whole album was a metaphor for a fascist government regime

Turns out eyewitness testimony pretty unreliable I've seen studies in which college professors would hire an actor to come in and steal something like a purse off the table during the lecture and then ask them to identify which person stole the item and they would get it wrong almost every time
