Because you choose to take the risk for pregnancy by giving sperm, the kid's existence is your fault
The kid isn't my fault.  It's the fault of the person who wanted to be pregnant with my sperm.  Sperm donors don't pay child support for their kids.

Every male in the universe (with a properly functioning sex drive) would like nothing better than to be paid to impregnate females so I'm not surprised you would be happy but being paid hardly improves the moral situation you seemed so certain of.
Are you saying either that deadbeat dads shouldn't pay child support because of their sex drive or that someone who is a sperm donor should pay child support?  Because I think if your a sperm donor, it's implied that you won't be paying child support, whereas if someone has sex, the female assumes that if she gets pregnant, the guy will take care of her, there are different implications from selling your sperm versus having sex with someone.

If the guy said in advance, "If I have sex with you and you get pregnant, I am not paying child support and I don't want to raise the kid" and the female agrees to have sex with him nonetheless, then I wouldn't hold the man guilty and I would hold the woman guilty.  This is what happens with sperm donors.  If a guy on the other hand doesn't claim whether he will take care of the kid or claims he's going to, then I would hold the guy responsible because it's implied that he will take care of the pregnant female and her kid.

Also, drunk people should be banned from sex because people do stupid stuff when they are drunk.

How is it that joe-average gets his kidney cut out if he produces a child and the woman decides against his will to have an abortion but you get to sell your swimmers with no risk to your kidneys?
Because the male that had sex with her chose to take the risk for pregnancy by having sex, and given that abortion results in a kid dying, the kid's existence is their fault.  I'm not forcing anyone to take my sperm, but people want my sperm, so I'm happy to make money off of it.  If they don't use my sperm, they will use someone else's.  I'm not forcing them to have a kid, they chose to do that.

No moral fault on you in that case because you were paid?.... doesn't really follow.
It's not my fault they wanted a kid.  Their kid-> their responsability.

That sounds false. I'm going to need a source on both those claims if you want me to accept them.



I don't even know why blowjobs feel good.
It's got to be a troll.
Not accurate.  I genuinely don't know why someone would want a blowjob.  They can wash their dick off in warm water if they wanted to.  I perfer cold water though.

That's correct. It indicates that so many people go to heaven that their number can't be counted.  It never says anything like this for the people who end up judged.  So at least I have a figure. You are just pulling an idea out of their air.  
After reading that, good point.

If God freed the people that he burned in hell once Jesus died on the cross, I wouldn't mind worshiping him.

Imagine Mao, Hitler, or Stalin's reforms on a global scale.
The world would have a 10th amendment, so if one country enacted horrible policies, they don't spread to the other countries unless one of the 2 things happens:

1) The new country voluntarily adopts that horrible policy (unlikely).
2) That horrible policy becomes federal law (which is also unlikely since most countries wouldn't have the horrible policy).

Why would you just assume that a woman is just going to bite your dick off.
If the woman hates my guts, they might bite my dick off.  They might trick me into oral sex and then bite my dick off intentionally.  They also might do it accidentally.  I'm not trusting a woman with my dick and I don't even know why blowjobs feel good.  If you want warm liquid on your dick, then shower.  I personally prefer cold liquid because my dick gets too warm and it needs to cool off.

If you don't trust someone enough to put your dick in their mouth sex is definitely a bad idea.
Thanks for reinforcing my goal of not having sex.  I encourage all men to follow suit unless they want kids.

STIs are contagions they come from infected people not the acts that spread them
The majority of Americans have herpes and 1/5 Americans have an incurable STI.

everything I said can apply to a small number of sex partner(s) who have clean health.
People often lose that clean health when they have sex.

The exact and quite immeasurable make up of their motivations is irrelevant. They aren't forced.
They do it to get along with their boyfriends/husbands.  Since they are demisexual, they aren't too interested in having sex.  They are the victims of male peer pressure.

I also threw in some jokes, but I don't want anal or oral sex because they spread STIs and I don't want to give a woman the power to bite my dick off.

Do I have to explain that human females are in fact sexual creatures as well?
Most women are demisexual, so they don't fuck someone unless they think they can be on better terms with them.  This is why lesbians don't have that much sex and as a result, they don't spread STIs nearly as much as their gay counterparts.

First, If you were serious about not wanting kids why would you not get a vasectomy?
I want to sell my sperm to get more money.  But if no place will take it, I would get a vasectomy.

Are you asexual? Well most people aren't.
No; I've gotten erections from porn and wet dreams before.  I just know better than to have sex.  Get your sexual urges out on porn and dick massaging so you have a 0% chance of causing an unwanted pregnancy.  It's what I do and it works.

Second, How about you confine yourself to anal and fellatio?
Anal is gross; I get shit all over my dick and I still might get an STI.  I don't want oral sex because I don't want STIs and I don't want to get my dick bit off.  With a size as big as mine, that would be very painful and traumatic.

Perhaps like female sex drive and consent you haven't considered those yet?
Most females only have sex to make their boyfriends/husbands happy or to get pregnant.  Women are demisexual.

If not you then what about others?
What do you mean?  I'm not losing my virginity because people want me to.  If someone tried to take my virginity away, it would be rape.

@bmdrocks21
Your lack of life experience is quite apparent
In general, men are more horny then women (because women are sexually smarter then men on average).  I'm much smarter than most men sexually, so I keep my sexual urges in check.

He very well may. Heck, both might then the woman could change her mind.
If he wants kids, then he can have sex (although I still wouldn't recommend it because if you want a kid, I recommend adopting until all the foster kids are in good homes).  But most abortions are from unplanned pregnancies.

And how many of them threatened aborters with stealing their kidneys?
Anti Roe V Wade people don't have the guts to advocate a punishment for abortion (which abortion needs a punishment if abortion is banned just like these people want).

I also think the death penalty for abortion is too authoritarian, but you need a proportional penalty.  If the death penalty can't be administered to people that get abortions, then you need an alternative proportional penalty.  The only way to split the difference that I can think of is the male gives the kidney and gets sterilized so he can't cause future abortions.

That is the fairest punishment I think I can administer for abortion.  If you have a better idea, let me know your alternative punishment for abortion.

Anti Roe V Wade people have been preaching, "If you don't want children, don't have sex" to females this entire time.  The females aren't the horny ones usually.  Usually it's the men.  If a man doesn't want kids, he shouldn't have sex.

I'll repeat myself, you can have continuous orgies without ever causing a pregnancy with some basic precautions. Prudishness is fully disconnected with pregnancies when brain is engaged.
The west has birth control fully accessible that is free for everyone who can't afford it and reasonably priced for those that can afford it.  We still have 800,000 abortions a year.  Birth control produces bad side effects for women and the women should not be forced to endure the side effects from birth control just so a man could have sex. 

That is a thin criticism, suppose the man was exempted if he was willing to raise the child and notarized his objection to the abortion.
Doesn't matter.  If the man was willing to raise the child and the woman doesn't want to and she aborts, the blood is still on the man's hands for putting the woman in a situation to where she would have to abort.

I'm sick of slut shaming ONLY women.  Both genders should be slut shamed because sex is dangerous.  That's why I hope I remain a virgin forever (since I don't want kids) and any male without a vasectomy who doesn't want kids also should remain a virgin forever.

You threaten to forcibly sterilize men because of something a woman they had sex with did.
If you are really worried about a female you had sex with getting an abortion, just don't have sex with her.

The difference is I don't 'threaten' innocent parties.
Would you punish the female that got the abortion?  Because the man is just as guilty for the abortion often as the woman is.  I just think it's easier to punish men than it is to punish women since women are overreactive drama queens.

So putting us in the same boat is about as accurate as calling both people who support fines for violating speed limits and others who support cutting off thieves' arms for stealing "authoritarian".
Banning an abortion requires a proportional punishment.  Do you advocate the death penalty for females that get abortions if they know that they are killing human beings?  Because if so, that sounds more authoritarian than what I'm proposing of penalizing the gender that should be more careful with who they sleep with(ie men).

What I propose is if you kill someone, now you need to save someone and make sure you can't have an abortion again.  If there were alternative ways to save someone reliably, I'm happy with potentially making those alternative punishments to kidney donation and sterilization.

The female who aborted harmed the kid and the deadbeat dad harmed the women by getting her pregnant.
Neither are inherently harms.
I think you have to make very big leaps to argue that a deadbeat dad doesn't harm the women.

The majority of all abortions occur before it's even a fetus.
I'm not sure this is accurate, but I outlined in my document that I think all abortions before a fetus is formed should be legal and unpunishable.

As for her getting pregnant to begin with: The vast majority of sex is consensual.
Smash and dash harms women and children (if the kid is born and raised by a single mother) and because of that, deadbeat dads deserve sterilization.  If they didn't want kids, they shouldn't have had sex.  I've been living this value my whole life.  Why is it hard for other people to live prudish values (being a prude is a good thing.)?

Seems quite odd to automatically make a presumption of a guy being a POS because someone else did something.
If you don't want children, don't have sex.  I say this to men who are so insistent on having sex.

I'm not sure if threats will stop sex, but if we ever get dictator Alec, I'm afraid we'll find out.
I thought you opposed Roe V Wade, so you would want a penalty for abortion (because if abortion is banned, a punishment is required and punishing the abortionists won't be enough because if a fetus is a human being, each abortionist has caused the death of thousands of human beings).

Anything banned requires a punishment, and this includes abortion if it gets banned.

You are proposing massive harms of mutilating people who have harmed no one.
False.  The female who aborted harmed the kid and the deadbeat dad harmed the women by getting her pregnant.

It'd be about as sensible as declaring those punishments for anyone who wears white after labor day, or just do a lottery system.
Wearing white after labor day is victimless and abortion isn't.

While there is a mild benefit of more donor kidneys available (most of these forced donations would just become medical waste)
I think I addressed this in the document.  There is a huge need for kidneys and the fathers of aborted kids would be the ones supplying the kidneys to people.

it would certainly cause backlash against organ donations in general.
I doubt it.  When Texas implemented their abortion ban (that is probably tougher than my proposed policy) people got vasectomies so they wouldn't need abortions.  Not everyone is an ideologue.

 It seems like the group that would benefit the most, are sadists who get their jollies from other people being in pain.
This is false; anyone who needs to donate a kidney and get vasectomized for being the dad of an aborted baby can buy all the painkillers they want.

So having finally had the opportunity to read your argument your summary is men's money is important, women's bodies are not.
I claimed the sacrifice a female endures to support a pregnancy for 9 months is less than the amount of money a deadbeat dad has to sacrifice for 18 years, but they are both big sacrifices.

You also seem to think as long as a man gives a woman money he doesn't have to parent those children but a woman should certainly be present and parent her children because she's a woman.
Not even people that oppose Roe V Wade advocate for mandatory parenting.  They advocate setting the kid up for adoption (which I addressed the main concern for that in the document).

I always hate the slut shaming arguments
The law slut shames deadbeat dads by telling them, "If you didn't want to pay child support, don't have sex".  Slut shaming for both genders is good.

Additionally, your argument here simplifies the burdens of pregnancy down to just the labor pains; put simply, pregnancy trashes mother's body.
And paying child support trashes a deadbeat dad's wallet at a comparable rate to the frequency of pregnancy trashing a female's body.  Other people's bodies aren't priceless to me and I don't expect my body to be viewed as priceless by strangers.

I don't have the time or the energy to address everything you said, but the following applies:

I argued that the man would be the one donating a kidney and the female would get sterilized.  #Equality!

But abortion needs a fair punishment if it is to be banned.

Revelation 7:9
This indicates how many people go to heaven.  It does not state how many go to hell.

Nonsense.  Bootlicking is sucking up.
Like sucking up to God.

 If Hell is God's idea by the way - it is just. 
Just because someone comes up with an idea does not make it just.  Satan is also one of God's ideas.  I'm assuming you don't call Satan just.  If God does something I like, I praise him for it.  He does this with abortion, immigration, and sex and I praise him for it.  But if he does something I don't like, "like burn ANYONE in hell forever", then I'm going to criticize him for it.

There is a difference between spiritual and non-spiritual offences. The fact that you don't see sin against God as a particularly severe thing is emblematic of what you think about sin.
The only offenses that should exist are those that cause a victim.  Anything victimless ought to be legal in a free society.  Many sins are victimless (like not going to church on Sundays and using God's name in vain).

God does not punish people in Hell for rape or murder. Rape and murder are fruits of a much worse situation. Rebellion against God.  
God punishes in hell for rape and murder.  How does not going to church on Sundays lead to rape and murder 100% of the time?

 It stands to reason that an eternally perfect and just God has his own standards which are going to be very different from ours.
It's not justice to burn someone in hell forever under any circumstances.  Punishments must be proportional.  

But any offense against an infinitely powerful entity is worthy of infinite punishment.
This is false.  Biden and Trump have a lot of power.  Insulting either one of these figures should be unpunished, even if you say it to their face. Insulting God should also be unpunishable.

Bootlicking is about trying to win the superior person's gratitude.
Bootlicking is letting entities in power get away with whatever they want.

No  I did not contradict myself.  I said most people wont burn in Hell.  To contradict this - would mean that I would say that most people will burn in Hell.  I did not say that.  To claim that Hell is justified by God does not contradict that most people go to Heaven.   Do you understand logic?  
Maybe I misunderstood your argument here.

Conservatives: What are your arguments for not raising taxes on the rich to 93% of their income?
I'm trying to think of some good arguments to go against taxing the rich to Eisenhower levels (93%), but it's hard.

They will flee the country if they are taxed this high
Most rich people aren't ideologue; they just pay the taxes.  Otherwise, the country that taxed their income the least (the UAE) would have all the billionaires.  But the rich pay whatever tax is imposed upon them because they are beta males (not an insult) who just go along to get along.

They earned their wealth and taxing them would discourage the future earning of their wealth
When you earn more than what is needed to survive, earning money is like a game.  The rich would still continue to produce to try and earn more.  If they were taxed at 100%, then they would cease to be productive since there would be no point.  But 93% still lets them keep some of what they earn.

This is socialist/communist (I don't know the difference between these terms)
Was America socialist in the 1950s when we were fighting communism?  Because taxes on the rich were at roughly 85% then.

I'm just thinking out loud.

This isn't my ideal tax method (my ideal tax method is outlined here and raises the money for all that I think is needed to fund).  But it is my plan B incase the plan doesn't go as planned.  We are able to balance every budget if we taxed the rich at 90% of their wealth.  Then we can afford a tax cut for everyone under $200,000.

I change religious views a lot.  I grew up catholic, then became an atheist in 7th grade.  Then I flipped between Christianity and atheism a lot.

There is evidence that the universe was created (I see this in mathematics(phpjo8mOy.png (910×568) (d2vlcm61l7u1fs.cloudfront.net))), but if God is burning people in hell forever for trivial things like not keeping the Sabbath day holy, then he is unworthy of worship.  I hope we are living in a simulation so the simulation overlords presented the signs in mathematics that could be seen as evidence of a creator.  I hope the people running this simulation aren't too cruel like the Gods they have presented us with.

My position as many people in the church is that most people in history will end up in Heaven and that only a minority of people will end up being judged in Hell.
What biblical verse proves this?

The Book of Revelation tells us that the number of people in Heaven is number without count.
Where?  What verse?

and it was speaking in general terms to those people in Jesus' time and more or less to a time prior to the incarnation
This interpretation requires evidence.  Jesus did a lot of future predicting.

Yes, I have seen the numbers in the West suggesting christians are reducing in number. But have you seen the numbers in Africa, and China, and Asia, and South America? Exponential growth is still occurring.  
How is the popularity of christainity (which I think is decreasing) relevant to the proportion that burn in hell forever?

I think you will find that Christians generally say - that EVERYONE - christian or non-christian deserves judgment from God - for all have sinned and fallen short of his requirements. That's why Jesus is significant. Because he is the only one who did not deserve judgment because he alone did not sin.  Since Christians hold to the view that God is good and just - we take the view that since we know the punishment for our sin and do it anyway that - we have no excuse. And we have no defense.  Noone forces us to sin - we choose to do it ourselves - knowing full well it will have consequences. 
Agreeing with God's horrible view of burning in hell forever for a sin is bootlicking.

If Hellfire is the punishment - why is it so severe and harsh? In normal legal systems - the more severe and heavy the punishment - the greater the value of what is being protected.
In our legal system, even the worst of the worst of murderers (if your country/state has the death penalty) is a relatively painless death and torture violates the 8th amendment.  If we don't burn murderers at the stake for murder (when they die after a few hours), then it is even more horrible to burn someone forever for not keeping the sabbath day holy.

We value life as a rule so someone who takes away someone else's life is given a punishment appropriate to that - which is mitigated only by circumstances and intent. We value the sanctity of the marriage which is why rape, and adultery and other forms of sexual offences are given heavy sentences (at least historically).  Incidentally, one way to show marriage is not valued anymore in the west is the fact we don't in many countries have punishment for adultery. 
Rape and adultery should not be punished with an eternity in hell.  Rapists and murderers deserve to be shot, but this is less severe than an eternity in hell.  Adultery committers should be whipped 30x in the presence of their spouse, but not burn in hell forever.

And the answer is interestingly, even on most legal books the most serious offence- treason. Go and have a look at the various legal systems around the world. One of the few offences which still carries the death penalty in most cases is treason. 
Our justice system doesn't burn people alive who commit treason.  However, God burns people forever for even trivial sins if they are unrepentant.

In Thailand - treason is expressed simply saying something negative about the king. 
Do you really want the justice system to emulate anti first amendment Thailand?

I suggest to you that sin - is treason against God.
God is as thin skinned as the monarch of Thailand; not someone to be emulated.

Nope. It is not bootlicking.  God can do anything he chooses to do.
Letting God burn your relatives in hell forever once they die is bootlicking.  Otherwise, what is bootlicking?

How about you go and create your own world and make the rules.
It is impossible for a human to create a world.  But if God is going to create us just to torture the majority of our species, then that's an evil god.

I also noticed that you contradicted yourself.  First you said that most people aren't burning in hell forever.  Then you claimed that burning in hell was justified if Mr. Sky Wizard deems that you should burn in hell forever.

If someone is holding a pistol to your head, then nobody would judge you as being overly deferential for doing whatever your assailant demands.  Therefore if the pistol is everlasting and the pain of being shot is eternal, so much more the appropriateness of any degree of  deference demonstrated.
If someone holds a gun to me head and demands something, I wouldn't be loving the person that did that to me.  But for some reason, people love God, even though he does stuff to people that is worse than murder.

We need to stop worshipping out of fear, especially from entities that aren't threatening us right now.  Lets make Christainity a myth just like the greek gods.  At least the greek gods (most of them) never burned you in hell forever for refusing to worship them.

It sounds like to me that they are.

For example, their bible states that most people will burn in hell forever (Matthew 7:13-14)

When pointing this out, Christians say, "They deserve to burn in hell if God puts them there"

This is bootlicking; because God can do something as horrible as burn people in hell forever and the Christians have no problem with it.

There is not a single crime you can do that is so horrible the just penalty is an eternity in hell.  The worst crime you can do (murder) can be punished by hell for only a minute because hell is extremely painful.  Rape (possibly the 2nd worst crime you can do) can be punished with 24 seconds in hell and given the painfulness of hell, 24 seconds would be justified.  But anyone who is not a murderer or a rapist should not spend one instant in hell without their consent.  To disagree and advocate that your typical Joe and Jane deserve to burn in hell forever because the bible says so is bootlicking God, and bootlicking is unamerican.

Christians also have said, "Just repent and change your ways and God will send you to heaven".

However, they should NOT be forced to repent.

Lets say someone genuinely hates Joe Biden because of a political disagreement.  Now lets say Joe Biden said, "Anyone that hates me should change their ways or else I will jail them the rest of their life and give them white room torture.  Keep in mind that I love these people and I give them free will but their options are support me and everything I do or life in jail with white room torture".  If Joe Biden said this, it would be incredibly tyrannical and authoritarian and anyone who likes Biden at that point would be a bootlicker.

If you happen to dislike Trump, imagine the same scenario as above, except Trump is saying that to a never Trumper.  Anyone who likes Trump at that point is a bootlicker to Trump.

If you agree with someone torturing someone in hell forever because the prosecuted merely dislikes the person in charge, then you are a bootlicker.  Bootlicking is unamerican and anti liberty.

Most nations have their own internal problem I can't imagine the crap one would have to deal with if there was one nation across the whole world. And any sort of small group like LGBT, women, probably even those with special needs would just get crushed.
This claim requires evidence.

What you propose goes too far I think and harms the citizens too much of these countries.

And how would you convince Mexico to bow down and adhere to a one world USA?
Mexico can keep pretty much all of it's laws just like the USA can keep pretty much all of it's laws.

But there are incentives to become one nation like world peace (Mexico doesn't want nuclear war because it would lead to a nuclear winter for them).

True, but I think it would be harder to do if we were separate countries.  The US federal government influences its own states more than Mexican states because us states are in the same country as the US and Mexican states aren’t.

Okay and how would you go about making Islamic cultures obey the new enforcement of gender equality and feminist protections against abuse?

How would we ensure that these far-right cultures don't end up making the liberal, democratic cultures end up swayed in their direction instead?
Here's my rough draft for how to get the middle east to outlaw marital rape:

If the countries where marital rape was banned only buy their oil from other countries where marital rape is banned (like Canada , the US, Australlia, Latin America) (since the middle east needs western money) and if companies are banned from buying oil from countries where marital rape is legal (kindof like what's happening with Russia right now, but this would happen after the Russia Ukraine war), this would lead to the countries banning marital rape to get that oil money.  Middle eastern countries want western money and I think they are willing to prosecute marital rape the same way as rape to get the money from oil buisiness.

Thoughts?
