Woke regarding film/TV: is it a big deal?

[Admiral Jean-Luc Picard]

you mean the freedom to take away the rights of some-one because you don't like their gay or want/need to have an abortion at the time you complain that you're the one who's being discriminated against?

that American freedom?

or put another way "freedom form me but not thee".

always funny when conservatives name and terms like "libertry" and "freedom" for their organisations cos they're frequently about the exact opposition.

#1 Denying rights to someone for being gay. Tell me, where is that happening in the USA today? Just one example, please.

#2 I stand against abortion, which is the unnecessary killing of the baby for being inconvenient. If the pregnancy endangers the mother, no one's going to argue for her to continue if she does not want to. Even if she wanted to, people might argue for her to prematurely deliver. There is nothing to gain from losing mother and baby, but there is always the possibility the baby may survive, and if not, she can try again.

#3 Why are you so threatened by American freedom, the right to live your life as you please?

 

[Admiral Jean-Luc Picard]

1. Gay people are gay and aren't going to harm others.
2. Their lives don't affect people enough for them to whine and complain about it all the time.
3. Most of them, like most hetero and cis people, will live their own lives without disrupting others'.
4. Here endeth the lesson.

You are arguing against claims I did not make.

My post wasn't specifically about you. Funny you think it is.

 

[Admiral Jean-Luc Picard]

ANY major religion worth its weight in members and scriptural content should display brotherly and sisterly love to our fellow human beings and be as non-judgmental as possible. Sadly, too many men care more about dogma than decency.

#1 I am Christian. The Holy Bible, the Scriptures, Jesus Christ commands we love everyone, all people, not just those we like.

#2 Everyone is judgmental, you are doing it now by telling religious people that they should behave as GhoulEddie74 says they should, and if they disobey you, they are wrong.

You did not state a name nor quote anyone, so it's reasonable for me as the person who started the discussion to suspect the post was directed at me.

#2 ...If the pregnancy endangers the mother, no one's going to argue for her to continue if she does not want to.

This has been proven to be bullshit, time and again, in the post-Roe v. Wade world.

 

[BillJ]

...and if they disobey you, they are wrong.

Anyone that disobeys me is wrong. That's just common sense. But I admit when something is just driven by my prejudice, and I try to improve on it going forward. I don't hide my shortcomings behind a being that no one can even prove exists.

I opposed Federal authority over State Sovereignty. Do you believe someone in Washington DC should dictate how a Californian lives?

 

[cooleddie74]

That's....kind of what federal law means.

Prejudice against all religions people, got it.

Just Christians. Sorry, I think more highly of the folks of other religions. You have folks buying the Earth is flat.

Yeah, and the Federal government can fuck off. Let the States govern themselves. The Federal Government's main role should be state cohesion and dealing with international matters. Decentralized government and all that.

 

[Admiral Jean-Luc Picard]

Christians are not the only ones who believe in God. You made a very prejudice statement earlier against all religious people. Are you walking back from that statement now?

Christians do not believe the Earth is flat. Anyone who does is either an idiot or just trolling for their own entertainment.

 

[cooleddie74]

Well, that's not how America works. And I'm glad. Sorry. The Constitution works, in spite of some folks in this country doing their best to get rid of it.

You're one of those that is for the Constitution when its convenient to your argument...

Who's trying to get rid of the US Constitution?

 

[cooleddie74]

Part Trois.

No, I stand by the US Constitution whether it is convenient or not.
