Physical would be the baseline.

I guess therapy to determine mental abuse as well.

So physical harm as a bare minimum and mental abuse if therapists have agreed it to be so.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

How would you determine if something is harmful to another person? Are you talking just physical harm?

:1

@GuitarSlinger

Could've tagged me sheesh.

>>do you think it's wrong to "use people" for your own pleasure or gratification?

If it is consensual and socially it is not harmful to either party then yes would I think the majority would say to it.

Quick question for everyone, do you think it's wrong to "use people" for your own pleasure or gratification?

It's a simple "yes / no" question.

@Kikomori

He said that?

Well I hope he learns how to make better arguments or finds that God doesn't exist.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I feel sorry for you. His ‘God exists because I am offended that you don’t believe in him’ was hard to even read.

-->
@Discipulus_Didicit

Guess so.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Yeah I saw that. Really stupid response.

Let's say for the sake of argument that he is right that our ancestors had more good ideas than bad (it is subjective to a certain extent, so I would be willing to grant him that)... Agreeing with most of what a group says is no reason to feel obligated to agree with the rest as well. If you agree with say 85% percent of what they did then you can still toss out the remaining 15%.

So even accepting his shaky premise without question his conclusion is laughable.

-->
@Discipulus_Didicit

He pretty much said what the ancestors did more good than bad so we should adopt what they did. "but what what about all the good things our ancestors taught us- moral values, teaching us how to make things, not to mention teaching us how to survive. Overall, the good outways the bad so I think we can trust them until we can realistically prove otherwise."

Oh and his response too. Jeez.

If you admit that our ancestors were imperfect and did some good things and some bad things then why try to use their opinion on things as justification for anything? Just look at each individual thing on it's own, it doesn't matter what people of the past thought.

This fucking guy!

@TheRealNihilist

Damn lol I guess you did, I didn't even read the debate. It is a pretty obvious route to go though. The argument "X used to be considered good or bad and therefore should still be considered good or bad" is incredibly nonsensical.

-->
@Discipulus_Didicit

Hey I tried that!

Maaaaan

Ok, let me ask you a question. If democracy is fine, then why did our many ancestors before us not support it?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Sorry it wouldn't let me send them in picture form.
Basically: Male to male sexual contact 67 or 68%; Heterosexual sexual contact: 23 or 24%; Injection drug use: 6%; Male to male sexual contact and injection drug use: 3%.

Sorry about forgetting the pie charts that I mentioned. Here they are.

Alex Jones is a conspiracy theorist who was covering a story on the government putting chemicals in the water that was making the frogs gay.

I agree with you

-->
@crossed

No I have no idea what that is.

-->
@CommanderCornJuice

is your profile pic the gay frogs spoken of in legend by the legendary Alex Jones himself.

Being gay would suck because the majority of humanity won't accept you.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Not sure if child or troll

-->
@bmdrocks21

I think this person didn't really think things through. Oh well.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Lol okay. I never really understood these debates about being gay to be honest. At least policy-wise. I could see an argument like "Catholicism should allow gay marriage" or something, but this is just dumb.

-->
@bmdrocks21

Shhhhh.

Just vote for me.
