The word "retard" is also outdated and discriminatory. Please refrain from use, it only displays your ignorance and lack of credibility.
Oh no. Did I hurt your feelings? 🥺👀
Is the little baby gonna cry? 😭👀
I sure as hell care about the feelings of a retard like you.
You are going around cutting baby's dicks, but yes lets pretend that your feelings matter.

Everyone uses "intent" to express that a person had a desired plan for a desired outcome.
Knowledge of the outcome + doing the action = it is a desired outcome and a desired action
Of course, I use Bible's laws and regulations, and not the witchcraft that you are using. Thats why the Bible defines intent as having knowledge of the action's results and still desiring to do it. Thats why a person cannot say "he didnt have an intent to kill them. He just wanted to point a gun at them and shoot." Yeah said the worst lawyer ever.
Where does bible say circumcision is morally wrong and a law by God that expresses thou shall not do?
It clearly says "Circumcision is nothing. If you enter Christianity, dont get circumcised." in the New Testament. So yeah, I dont see which one of those sentences tells you that circumcision is good.
By definition rape involves unlawful sexual activity.
Okay, this is the stupidity at its finest. I already gave you the definition, and I dont plan to change it any time soon. Plus, touching a baby's penis for your pleasure is a sexual activity. Cutting it for your pleasure is rape that has no benefits for the baby.
Now tell us, to who does baby's foreskin belong to?
You clearly gave information that contradicted your original definition.
Listen retard, if you are going to use these blatant lies, why do you expect not to get insulted? Do you even know what "contradicted" means? Is your brain so small that you dont understand what "included into definition" means?
Ok, now show us which information that I gave contradicted my "original definition".
If you do not follow the logic then do not make a claim on what the logic is. There are no premises that are questions. If you do not know what it means and have to ask, that's ok. Do not be shy about it or hide it.
I am sorry, captain retard, but "what it means to be human and a person" is a question. Do you get it, retard?

The professionals in mental health will decide what belongs in the public square in terms of what is a disorder
So we have here an appeal to authority argument fallacy.
To that, it is best to respond with an even higher appeal to authority.
For example:
I am sorry mister roosevelt, but God decides what is a disorder and God has already spoken his mind. Since God's knowledge is greater than that of yours and of your professionals, it follows that you are wrong.

You know very well intent is when a person desires a given outcome.
Wrong. It is when you know the outcome.
Bible clearly says that circumcision is wrong.
Otherwise you just call all medical procedures (including cosmetics) murder
No. Some of them actually save lives.
Great. Glad you concede to agree that rape is not defined as you presented.
I dont know what kind of drugs are you using, but "is included into" means its included into definition.
Once more you provide a generic definition that can apply to any surgical procedure. What you are missing is sexual application.
What is sexual application? And yes, cutting baby's penises is rape by the given definition of rape, since it is penetration of genitals without consent.
Rape is not morally wrong because of who owns what. If that were the case then anyone can develop the means to own another person and provide their own consent. Now rape is legal. Instead, rape violates what it means to be human and a person.
Sorry I dont follow your circular meaningless logic. "What it means to be human" is a retarded premise, since that premise is a question. Please try to make more sense next time.

Its not like parents can afford to have enough children if they also have to pay for free (not free) healthcare.
US spends twice as much on healthcare than on military.
1.5 trillion dollars for healthcare?
And they want to increase that further? Yikes.

Liberalism is good, but its hard to keep the greedy government away from other people's money when its so easy to raise taxes or print.
We all know that social welfare systems destroy people economically.
Free food for those who dont have food is somewhat okay, but free or semi-free healthcare? Thats too much drain on the economy and it gets abused too much.

GDP is a measure of economic activity, Sales of goods and services. Inflation could be 100% but if there is no sale then there is no activity.
Please dont talk nonsense. Everyone knows increase in prices leads to increase in GDP since GDP is a sum of PRICES of sold goods.
There, I made it simple this time.

@Double_R
True, but Trump did lower the taxes. That helps with prices. If he only lowered the spending too, prices would go even lower.
Sadly, Trump is not perfect.
It seems that most presidents are either increasing the debt either increasing the taxes. ☹
Can we get one that cuts spending? Trump promised to do that last time, but didnt.
Thats the problem with spending. Once you start, you cannot stop.

GDP growth during Biden: > 7%
GDP is a sum of prices. So the prices did rise, true.
Unemployment during Trump: 16%
Only when covid started did unemployment rise. Nothing to do with Trump. Certain jobs had to be closed to prevent covid spread.

Actually, we cannot know if anything exists, not even if we exist, since we dont know if our feelings are real.
The only way to confirm feelings is by feelings, which is a circular reasoning.

I think we would first need to define "free will", which is somewhat difficult.
I know what is "will".
However, "free will" implies:
1) Will that is free from something
2) Will that is free to choose something or not choose it
The 1) obviously asks "Will that is free from what exactly?".
The 2) implies that the will creates choices out of nothing. The only cause of the choice is will. Therefore, such will if left alone still makes same choices as if when it isnt left alone.
However, that brings us to questions like
What caused will?
Why does "free will = choices it makes"?
Why does "free will = certain choice"?
The only answer that makes any sense is that "free will" should not be an argument at all. It is a poor argument that we cant even put into work.
For example, if we say "free will = guilty", then does that mean "no free will = not guilty"?
The obvious answer is that being guilty is irrelevant of free will, and the application of punishment is same in cases where free will exists and in cases where it doesnt.
Nobody will say that we shouldnt destroy a meteor heading towards Earth that could kill lots of people.

Why is my question so hard to answer? Lol
It was already answered multiple times:
If you think that printing money does not cause inflation, then print more money. Print 100 trillion. Whats the harm, if it wont cause inflation?
Every economist knows that printing money increases demand for goods which increases the prices of goods, which benefits the rich.
So yeah, keep printing and make the rich happy.

The prices of goods and services fall down due to low demand in the market.
Or due to increase in competition or due to increase in production or due to decrease in money supply.
Only when deflation is too high is when you are supposed to print money to help buisnesses.
However, currently, USA has 5% inflation rate and is trying to print more money to have even more inflation.
5% inflation rate is not sustainable unless you want to double the poverty rate in 20 years.
Created:
@@@@@Iwannaroosevelt
Because if prices didn’t go up we could have deflation which would kill the economy and GDP growth.
Deflation would kill the economy? No. It would just mean that people would be able to buy more things. This is the opposite of inflation, where people can buy less things.
Of course, too high deflation is not desirable. However, something like 1-2 % deflation rate would be just fine.
What we know for sure is that 5% inflation rate in 20 years will literally double the cost of living.
The wages dont grow that fast.

Inflation often acts like that. It goes up, then down, then up again. You will not often see inflation to be constantly increasing.
However, it is higher now than it was from 2000 to 2020. This is a sign of concern. The sudden increase in inflation rate in 2021 could be a sign of incoming greater recession.
US economy, if we look at inflation rates from 1950-today, did have 2 great recessions by the standard of inflation. They all started like this one, with a sudden rise in inflation.
Some could say that this one was caused by Covid. However, Covid is mostly over.
Then they might say: well, a war with Russia caused further inflation.
What we know for sure is that unless Biden brings inflation down to what it was before him, he is probably not going to win the next elections.
And if they cant borrow more debt, then USA and Biden are in big trouble. Choosing which one to stop paying for: social security, healthcare or military - thats a painful choice.
Thats why debt either must increase forever until inflation starts increasing again and crushes economy, either USA needs to stop borrowing and manage the budget so that some services need to be shut down.
This is indeed hard for USA, since there is no 3rd choice. There are only 2 choices and both are bad.

what would prevent people from acting in a similar way as the thief?
They gain nothing good from it.
“some men just want to see the world burn”
They should be corrected then.
Would your hypothetical world commence to “trim the garden” with select slaughters of “rebels” of this new world order?
Rebels? Why would rebels openly rebel against helping others? That would just make it easier for the government to cut them down. Plus, its not like you can hide your wealth. People see you. People report you. Then the government comes to correct you.

forced communism is not communism
I would disagree with that. Most of Communists are not only in favor of force, but also of violence if necessary.
And is also not sharing
I wouldnt say that forced sharing isnt sharing. Its still sharing and people are still getting food they need to live.
because people are not equal
Well, for example, if I have 2 cookies and you have 10 cookies and there is also a person who has 0 cookies. The person with 0 cookies will starve. We have to help him by giving some of our cookies. Even if we have to be forced, its still morally justified.

5% from what I read.
Also,
Constant inflation is a constant increase in prices. Therefore, if inflation remains at 5%, that means prices will keep increasing by 5% again and again.
Yearly inflation of 5 % means that prices increase by 25% in 5 years, and 50 % in 10 years.
If you have 2 dollars, and print 2 more, you will have 4 dollars and the inflation will be 100%. However, if you dont print any more after that but keep it at 4 dollars, inflation will be 0.
If you constantly increase money supply by 5% per year, inflation will constantly be 5% per year. That means in 50 years, prices increase by 250%. This is assuming everything else remains same.

@Vegasgiants
The inflation is usually caused by:
1) Decrease in product supply
2) Increase in money supply
Or both of these 2.
The other causes of inflation include: high taxes or lack of competition.

@Vegasgiants
Yes. Debt is not correlated with inflation
Do you think that printing worthless money is not correlated with inflation?
Because you have printed worthless money and you have had inflation.
Unless you deny that you have had inflation?
Of course, if production of goods increases equally with an increase of money in circulation, then prices stay somewhat same.
However, what we have is that production increased greatly, but also did prices. This means that printing of money exceeded the increase in production of goods.
When production increases, prices are supposed to decrease, not increase.
Of course, while money is simply valued as ratio of amount of money and amount of goods, the problem is that value of money decreased when it was supposed to increase with the increase in the amount of goods.

Nobody should care about what a woman thinks.
Example of woman's stupidity:
"Women think that they should be equally paid as men, despite working less.".
"When a man rapes a woman, she calls him an abuser. When he doesnt rape her, she calls him an incel.".
"Woman is a creature of emotions. When she thinks about what she should do, she doesnt ask herself "What is a right thing to do?". She asks herself "What would my friends do?". Therefore, admitting she doesnt have a brain of her own."

Murder refers to legality in a person's intent to kill another.
No. The thou shall not murder is one of God's commands. It has nothing to do with countries legalizing murder, since murder is still illegal by God's law.
If someone dies from medical procedure
Circumcision in most cases is not necessary to save life.
not evidenced to include intent
Intent is when:
1) You know circumcisions will result in death
2) You know circumcisions will not save life
Since you know these 2, then choosing to do mass circumcision is murder.
Is that how rape is defined?
No. Thats what the rape includes. Hence the difference between "same" and "is (included into)".
Can a kidney be stolen if there is a medical reason to remove that kidney
Sorry, I thought we were talking about circumcision. Circumcision in most cases does not save lives and countries that do mass circumcision arent any better in health than countries who dont.
How can we reconcile other genetial related surgeries
Simple. If they save life, then they are good.
If a thing is legal, then it should not be included with illegal acts. Theft is an unlawful action. Circumcision is lawful.
Again you talk about laws of corrupt countries.
However, its very simple.
Who owns my foreskin?
If it is me, then circumcision without my consent is theft. If I dont own my foreskin, then I dont see why rape would be wrong when people dont own their bodies.
