Seems like you moved the goal posts a bit there. Your first comment indicates "people" could be any quantity, now it seems you mean that "people" means people in general, which indicates a majority of people? It's i

Using the term "people" or "men" or "women" without a quantifier is misleading. I could say "people think the earth is flat" and it doesn't matter if it's one person or one billion people bu

It's all double-speak for Marxism, or equal outcomes for everyone.

Why would we assume that alien visitors don't also have convuluted time measurement systems? It's seems likely any alien civilization would have followed a similar development trajectory as humans and would therefore also retain s

There is propaganda abounds from both sides, but I have yet to hear a solid moral justification for Russia's invasion of a sovereign nation.

There are pension systems in the USA dependening on industry. The issue is that the pension systems have to depend on an ever-increasing pool of contributors which is not sustainable long term.

I rather appreciate a nice hello and a little chat before someone drops a big request on me. It makes my coworkers seem human and gives me a nice break. If I'm too busy for that, I politely let the other person know that I'm too b

I'm not claiming that there aren't some people in positions of authority that don't make prejudiced assumptions. What I'm saying is that you can't assume every time something like this happens it's due to race.

I wonder what would happen if you weren't so condescending. Your opening statement was "I used to think like you" as if you have evolved and are somehow morally superior. I see no evidence of this assumed superiority. You mad

More white people own businesses and there are more white people in the USA. It was likely an innocent assumption where no offense is intended. Not everything is as sinister as "anti-racists" claim. I refuse to subscribe to their

The people that tend toward terms like Latinx treat non-white folks like children, constantly getting offended on their behalf and denying them agency. It's ironic that many "anti-racists" act in a racist manner.

What evidence do you have that it was because your boss was black? X happened and the target was black doesn't mean X happened BECAUSE the target was black. Did the cop use any sort of racial insult? I can share all kinds of negative i

No, it's not. Air is not something that I'm dependant on someone else to provide. Healthcare is dependent on the labor of others, something to which you are not entitled to by default.

If it's not justified, it's not justified regardless of the crime. Fruit of the poisonous tree doesn't work that way typically.

I have first hand experience with someone in my immediate family who was unable to sustain a vegan diet. She became anemic and was ill 6 to 10 times a year. Iron supplements did help, but only enough to bring levels up to the lower bounds o

No, you are paying for your own biological needs. It's no different than having to spend money to buy food. It's not at all accurate to equate these costs to rent.

No, sacrifice is why "back" was an option.

Further, I find myself questioning whether this meeting even happened. This reads like scenario invented so the author could get paid for a "think" piece.

When the only argument is fallacious, you actually need to provide something non- fallacious or you are left with no argument and your premise fails, as is the case here. I find it condescending that your only reply was a link and no text.

"Before I proceed I want to set up some logic traps because I'm more interested in winning than in honest exchange of opinion" No thanks, have a nice weekend.

These issues are sociaital and everyone has some level of responsibility. Finger pointing at those who were able to profit isn't particularly helpful or even true in most cases. I think people partially do this so they can absolve them

And? How does this make their opinion more or less valid? This is a classic example of appeal to authority.

Are you SERIOUSLY asking for sources on my opinion on an opinion piece? You do know what opinion means, right?

What was the editorial purpose for the comment? Why is the sex of the participants of the alleged conversation relevant? The author takes great pains to make the other conversants seem borderline maniacal and also wants to make sure we kno

This is called moving the goalposts. You could just as easily advocate for more humane slaughter house conditions but you are instead using bad actors (claiming this is how ALL animals are slaughtered) to call for a vegan lifestyle.

Yes. Animals are tools and can be regarded as property. I do support regulations in how animals should be raised and treated, but regarding them on the same level as humans is fallacy. I've seen your evidence and it has failed to chang

The phenomenon of children not knowing where their meat comes from is recent. For thousands of years, society was mostly agrarian. Children survived and were not traumatized. I suspect the downvotes you are seeing are due to people feeling

The kid didn't enter into the deal independently since children don't have that kind of autonomy. Your comparison is invalid.
