@K_Michael
--> @ShilaWould your opinions change if you did have a wife?After your exchange with Polytheist-Witch are you convinced Dart is some special haven for stupid people?No to both
So neither having a wife or your exchange with Polytheist-Witch will change your option you belong to a haven for stupid people?

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

@Avery
--> @Shila--> @ShilaAvery is convinced only rape can turn her fantasies into reality. The evolutionary advantage Rape brings has convinced her to solicit such pioneers.I've explicitly said, throughout the entire thread, that rape is not an evolutionary advantage.Here are some examples that took me two minutes to find:"It's not evolutionarily advantageous." ... "Rape may help the ugly, hopeless loser, but that doesn't help the gene pool in the long-run (hence, isn't evolutionarily advantageous)." Religion is an evolutionary advantage (debateart.com)"In the plainest English: rape is an evolutionary disadvantage." Religion is an evolutionary advantage (debateart.com)"Nope. I've argued that it's disgusting **because** it's evolutionarily disadvantageous." Religion is an evolutionary advantage (debateart.com)You are simply not reading what I say.So now you are against rape being an evolutionary disadvantage. You find that disgusting.But your links say religion is an evolutionary advantage, which too would be disgusting to an atheist.You just need more time to decide which disgusts you more.The feelings are a result of whether it's evolutionarily advantageous. Rape is not, so that explains why there are a lot of hard, negative feelings towards it.Religion is an evolutionary advantage. It's Atheism that is the disadvantage. Firm Atheistic beliefs will never capture human emotion like religious ones did/do. Also, religious tribes could whether the harshness of evolution better through their beliefs, even if those beliefs were total bs. That's the point of the thread.
So the point of the thread is religion is an evolutionary advantage even if those beliefs were total bs.

It's hard to keep track of all of Trump's legal entaglements, maybe this will help.
Great link.
Do you have a link to all the cases Trump lost?

It Biden gets America working again then Trump should be banned from Making America Gag Again. (MAGA)

Instead of being creative, corporations like Disney are "blackwashing" traditional white characters, to be black like the Little Mermaid. Naturally it is causing backlash. The same as it has been for changing well-established characters like Superman and even 007, James Bond, to be "blackwashed" instead of the obvious solution: create your own new characters and stop ripping off well-established white (or other races) characters. All they are doing is causing further division. It's senseless and unneccesary.
There are some white heroes that cannot be blackwashed. Eg. Hitler, Trump, Putin, Stalin, Mussolini. Jim Crow.

Also mentally unstable soldiers don’t make great armies. Eg. The American military. Lost every war and had to withdraw in disgrace from Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia.

subjectivity is like - - RELATIVE DIRECTIONS - - up, down, left, rightyour "up" is not my "up"your "left" is not my "left"these terms are still useful, as long as they are understood to be RELATIVE TO THE INDIVIDUAL"objectivity" is like - - ABSOLUTE DIRECTIONS - - north, south, east, west, altitude, latitude, longitudethese are much more specific
Are you saying objective people don’t understand RELATIVE DIRECTIONS - - up, down, left, right which are subjective.
Similarly subjective people don’t understand ABSOLUTE DIRECTIONS - - north, south, east, west, altitude, latitude, longitude which are objective.

People serving life sentences in prisons actually do better living locked down than they would have roaming freely in society. Children too do better staying at home than they would attending school and reading books that should have been banned. Eg black history of slavery.

Would your opinions change if you did have a wife?
After your exchange with Polytheist-Witch are you convinced Dart is some special haven for stupid people?

Going vegan is tilting the balance. More animals saved means less food for them. More humans eating vegetables is also cutting into the food for animals. More animals around is also increasing beastiality.

@TWS1405
--> @Shila-->@TWS1405--> @Shila->@Avery--> @RamshutuI still don't find your overall case of hardcore skepticism and sky-high bar setting to be reasonable. There are certainly limitations to the poll, of which you've covered, but they're not debilitating enough to render the poll results as merely an expression of perceptions. The poll needs a few reasonable assumptions and a unique interpretation of the results in order to be made valid.I think I could defend this poll against you in this debate, and thereby show it has more value than merely collecting "perceptions".When are you available?Can you provide more information about yourself so we know you are qualified to debate?Based on the information you provided wouldn’t even qualify you as a female. No education, no income, no country, no language listed.Classic hypocrisy to ask another to provide information that they themselves have been unwilling to provide (in their profile). *facepalm*I am not debating anyone. So there is less reason to know.Every single time you reply to someone, and consistently respond to them, yes, you ARE debating/discussing with them. Hypocrite.
I am just posting my comments. They are not formal debates.

@TWS1405
--> @Shila@TWS1405-->@ShilaThe military will see a dramatic drop in rape cases as transgenders and LGBT fill the ranks.TWS1405: Transgenders are less than 0.5-0.8% of the population, and LGBQ are less than 5-8% of the population. Most wouldn’t pass initial medical and psych screenings. So no, there wouldn’t be enough to “fill the ranks.”Just shows how little you know about the military.Really? Hmmm...guess my 5 years of active duty service in the US Army Military Police Corps (Airborne), service in Desert Shield/Storm, two tours to Gitmo and stationed at Fort Bragg "shows how little (I) know about the military." *rolling eyes*The current transgender and LBTQ population could more than fill every position in the military.Shows hot little YOU know about the military and what it takes to qualify for military service.Assuming that the U.S population number published online only takes into account those with a valid U.S citizenship and that there is no exception to the rule that you must be an American to serve in the military, the percent of American citizens who serve in the military is also 0.727%.Blah blah blah ... your usual word salad nonsense.
How many civilians died in Desert Storm?
Civilian deaths resulting from the conflict are estimated at between 100,000 and 200,000.

Is being transgender a mental disorder?
A psychological state is considered a mental disorder only if it causes significant distress or disability. Many transgender people do not experience their gender as distressing or disabling, which implies that identifying as transgender does not constitute a mental disorder. For these individuals, the significant problem is finding affordable resources, such as counseling, hormone therapy, medical procedures and the social support necessary to freely express their gender identity and minimize discrimination. Many other obstacles may lead to distress, including a lack of acceptance within society, direct or indirect experiences with discrimination, or assault. These experiences may lead many transgender people to suffer with anxiety, depression or related disorders at higher rates than nontransgender persons.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), people who experience intense, persistent gender incongruence can be given the diagnosis of "gender dysphoria." Some contend that the diagnosis inappropriately pathologizes gender noncongruence and should be eliminated. Others argue that it is essential to retain the diagnosis to ensure access to care. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is under revision and there may be changes to its current classification of intense persistent gender incongruence as "gender identity disorder."

Benatar argues that bringing someone into existence generates both good and bad experiences, pain and pleasure, whereas not doing so generates neither pain nor pleasure. The absence of pain is good, the absence of pleasure is not bad. Therefore, the ethical choice is weighed in favor of non-procreation.
Most South Africans hold a similar belief. It started with Apartheid then spread to every aspect of life.
