IFF) you can stop child abuse and you DON'T stop child abuse (THEN) you are guilty of being a party to child abuse
well no, it is the result of mans actions and does not involve God

- God gives us free will, because free will is inherently good.
- Free will entails the possibility of doing what is contrary to God's will (this is what we know as evil).
- Thus, evil exists, because of man's actions, rather than because of God.

Wylted is actually 100% correct here, one study says that obesity is a key driver in covid deaths-https://khn.org/morning-breakout/obesity-is-key-driver-of-a-nations-covid-death-toll-global-study-finds/
the CDC states that 78% of hospitalized patients were overweight or obese-https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/08/covid-cdc-study-finds-roughly-78percent-of-people-hospitalized-were-overweight-or-obese.html

Black people make up only 8 less in rural areas than Urban areas despite the relatively small population in the rural areas. Furthermore, rural areas are easier to segregate due to their history of redlining.
there is no way that rural vs urban can explain the difference between crime rates. The main difference is explained in family structure and culture.
Additionally, this chart disagrees with you-https://i.redd.it/xl23t365qub41.png, some of the highest homicide areas are in rural and black counties. you can see a red line corresponding to the black belt.
Finally, the history of segregation and concentrated poverty increases the rates of crimes, further explaining the gap. Again, have some nuance.
ok that makes sense, but 60 years of reversing this and no relief? you cant blame it on racism forever.

Incorrect - over-patrolling in black communities lead to this increased statistic. Furthermore, I never said anything about what people oppose, I'm talking about fundamentalism - which White people tend to be apart of more often. I said nothing about them supporting gay marriage more, please read more thoroughly.
LOL over-patrolling??? what complete and utter bullshit
also, is anti-gay marriage a fundamentalist position?

Agree with everything you said. Also want to point out that amazingly the FBI STILL doesn't disaggregate Hispanic people from White people in their statistics so a large chunk of that 41.1% is Hispanic. Once you adjust for age Hispanics don't have a much higher rate of violent crime than white people do so it isn't the majority of the 41%, perhaps a quarter, but still.And the suggestion that white people are the most arrogant is just laughable. I've never seen a more self loathing group of people in my life. This kind of rhetoric scares me to death
yeah it is scary- theres absolutely zero reason to hate your race but white people have been tricked into thinking that their own race is evil and that they are colonizers, etc, etc. the effect can be seen everywhere EVERYWHERE
and thx for the info on the FBI statistics.

The cost of this idea would be less than 1% of the annual US military budget.
this isnt about cost, this is about the libertarian argument of "government shouldn't incentivize behavior" if you do this, you are literally incentivizing people to leave the US.
This is false; they fled PR's high taxes.
oh dear, no-"high taxes" isnt why they fled. They fled because their country is a shithole.

@RationalMadman
Sure but I genuinely believe this is above and beyond the competition in terms of what it lets the player themselves do to compensate for not spending on massive-cost bundles.You can, by spending only $1 the first time and later on $5 on a well-timed purchase completely and utterly be on equal footing with many tryhards who spent less efficiently used time on the game and spent $100sThis even includes cosmetic aspects of the game.If you're totally free to play you'll never truly be on equal footing with the absolute tryhards of the server because a purchase or two is needed for the bursts that let you snowball hard (in my opinion, unless you really really 24/7 the game) but if you tryhard some days and pay to compensate the rest you're totally able to dominate a server with literally having spent $0.99 (or, if deep into it and wanting to really dominate spending 4.99 on top).There is absolutely no other clan game that's built around pay-for-package mechanics that lets you do this so cheaply and easily.
apart from clash of clans, yeah your right and im sure its a good game- and you are also right in saying that no other clan game allows you to do it cheaply and easily. the vast majority of mobile games revolve around simple concepts, clickbait ads, and sub-par ptp gameplay

I don't have, nor will I take the time to BIBLE SLAP YOU SILLY again in front of the membership, understood?Now, for your enlightenment and homework, reread my following links shown below at your expense, in explicitly showing how I have easily answered your pathetic and ever do weak claims that Jesus is not an ABORTIONIST, where I have shown BIBLICALLY that He was, okay?Doc, seeya around the forum when you step out of line in making a continued fool of yourself relative to the Bible!NEXT?

White people tend to be more arrogant
no they arent
are more likely to be armed than other race,
true, but they use those arms less frequently than any other race, in fact According to the FBI, African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites 41.1%, and "Other" 3.0% in cases where the race was known. [1]
on the topic of guns, blacks are more likely to be involved in gun related offenses
and are the most fundamentalist religious group.
actually, blacks are more socially right wing
"African Americans remain less likely than white Americans to support same-sex marriage, as has been the case for several years."
why are you a self-loathing white?

God is not an abortionist
"Still, some people make the argument that since there is a high rate of miscarriage in the natural reproductive process, God in essence “performs abortions.”
Randy Alcorn writes this in his book ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments, which applies well to this passage: “But the difference [between spontaneous miscarriage and human-induced abortion] is profound. What God does is up to Him, but we are not God. We do not have His prerogatives over human life and death. Spontaneous miscarriages are not our responsibility. What is our responsibility is child deaths caused by [abortion].”
That miscarriages happen does not minimize God’s love for children, and His overseeing of each child’s conception, which are clear truths from Scripture (see this article). Those truths are not antithetical to God’s prerogatives over life and death.
Gotquestions.org has a helpful Q&A on this. They say:
We did not start that tiny heart beating, create the blood that is flowing through the fetus’s veins, or preordain the days of a child’s life as God has done. Therefore, when human beings induce an abortion, we are destroying God’s creative work without His permission. However, when God chooses, through miscarriage, to take a child’s life early, He has the right to do so. It is His child, His work, His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10; Mark 10:14).
In answering those who question you about this passage, I would emphasize that abortion is the intentional taking of a human life by other humans and is therefore prohibited in Scripture: “You shall not commit murder” (Exodus 20:13). Though God allowed these miscarriages as part of His judgment on Israel (and judgment is the key theme in this passage), these verses in Hosea do not endorse abortion, nor is God in any sense “performing an abortion.”
This article has some helpful talking points about miscarriages in general:
The difference between abortion and miscarriage is exactly the same as the difference between murder and accidental death. One is a deliberate, intentional killing of a person. The other is an unintended death resulting from chance circumstances. One involves people taking it upon themselves to end a life, the other is a death resulting from inadvertent situations. An abortion is a deliberate action, taken with the specific intent of ending a human life. There is no moral comparison to a miscarriage, any more than there is one between arson and an accidental house fire. It would be ridiculous to excuse an arsonist on the grounds that some houses burn down by accident. Abortion is not made any more moral by referring to miscarriage, any more than murder can be justified by referring to accidental deaths.Miscarriages occur when something triggers a premature birth. Often, this happens early enough in the pregnancy that the unborn child does not survive. The cause might be an illness, an injury, or some genetic issue with the child itself. It may even be due to the negligence or carelessness of the mother or some other person. Miscarriages are unintentional, and this makes all the difference. God designed the universe to operate under a set of rules and natural laws. He only interferes with the “normal” operation of nature under extraordinary circumstances. The question of why God does not prevent miscarriages is not much different than the question of why God does not prevent any other evil—or all evil, for that matter.

Pop swap definition: sending a native born of place A to place B and sending a native of place B to place A.My idea is to implement a 4 million person pop swap between the US and Puerto Rico. This means that 2 million consenting Puerto Ricans move to the US and 2 million consenting Americans move to Puerto Rico. The purpose of this is to assiliminate the Puerto Ricans who move to the US by exposing them to anglophones and to make Puerto Rico into a more American, anglophone place by sending 2 million English speakers there which can set up PR becoming a state in the near future.People would consent to the idea by them being offered enough money to move from PR to the US or vice versa. Puerto Ricans would want the better opportunity in the US, Americans would want the tropical climate in PR. Statehood for the island and privatization of government companies would reduce costs for the people in PR whether they be Anglophone of Hispanophone.This I think can benefit everyone involved.
This is a ridiculously stupid idea. Especially since your a libertarian, people who believe that the government shouldnt facilitate this type of things.
Puetro Rico can stay the way it is, america can stay the way it is, no need to import 2 million puetro ricans for noting, plus most peurto ricans dont care for the "better opportunity" most immigrants are on welfare
