In my opinion, the American dream is one of the wrongest notions ever conceived. First of all, traditional capitalism claims that everyone can become rich. That's extremely misleading because the correct term should be "anyone". Capitalism is like playing the lottery: anyone can win but 49,999,999 out of 50 million people won't.
Also, libertarians and conservatives love to claim that one only needs to be disciplined, work hard and be tough and he can become rich one day. Clearly, this is not the case. A Truck driver or a coal miner or a cleaning lady or a waitress can work 70 hours a week for 45 years straight and they will NEVER end up well-off. In fact, most of them will never even manage to buy themselves a house or go on a long vacation. They are forced to sell their hard labor for dimes at the dollar and are, eventually, nothing but slaves of a plutocratic system set up by a bunch of astronomically rich people who didn't become rich by working but by letting their money multiply by itself.

Taking away a child's life if they're young enough and the mother don't want them. I thinks everybody deserves a chance in life and that nobody have the right to decide who have the right to live. So I'm a pro-lifer and against abortion.
I thinks it should be illegal and both parts (the woman and the doctor) should be punished. My country is so pro-choice that nobody have made a awareness campaign against it. Smoking and alcohol is legal in my country, but I sees awareness campaign against it everywhere.

''The food chain wouldn't justify us raising and killing animals when we have no need to.''
The food chain is what nature has intended and humans have evolved into eating meat diets. ideological veganism is literally nothing but a bunch of self righteous and contradicting people who feel they are better because they eat plants which they feel, is somehow lower on the scale of life in their opinion
''And often we kill animals right when they're born/hatched''
and people eat seeds. or plants that have just been grown
''There's harsh things in the wild but there is also joys animals experience which they are deprived in factory farms''
not sure if you knew this but thats frowned upon in todays society in fact a lot of these farms get closed down when found out. I dont support abusive farms, and I strictly eat from butchers that dont abuse their animals and starve them. on average, farms treat animals better than the wild. the wild has no regulation
''but we've looked at how the tissues communicate inside and out''
it doesn't matter what you looked at. the tools that are used to measure things are limited plain and simple. Our tools cannot even measure consciousness and there is clear indication of plants not only having memory but reacting to its environment which are two variables when talking of cognitive thinking. your argument is ''they dont feel it because they dont have the same structure as us'' have you ever heard of ghost limbs? there have been people who have felt that they had a limb when it was missing and could feel the sensation even with no limb present. but you won't take any of this in account though, you just want to tell yourself what you are telling me so you can sleep at night. NOTHING from you is reasonable.
'' the premise of this discussion was your response to my opinion''
yes that was the premise of the discussion BUT you quoted me, then brought up taste buds when the quote clearly said you are trying to say one type of life is important than the other. You went on a tangent and brought up taste buds.
''that suffer is wrong but even by your metric''
most animals on farms dont ''suffer'' they live healthy lives. You are trying to over simplify and make things dramatic to make it seem like you have a point. Also I kill more than you? it doesn't matter, you are still a killer. whatever helps you sleep at night though. you also blocked me to make it seem like you got the last laugh. now ill do the sameSociety doesn't understand how we are addicted to our thoughts. How it is disturbing emotions, being in the present moment, getting attached to lifeless object made out of plastic. How we must know more and more but yet we are unable to know how to stop thinking. Overthinking destroys good moments, destroys sleep, destroys enjoying the taste of your meal. We are distracted and society keeps that going. Our mind runs all day, and we find that normal. And then people ask why there is more mental problems than before. I think we got away from our body and heart, and think we are a brain in a mech suit made of flesh, and I think society has that "wrong" :)
Libertarianism
Mathematically, from a dynamical systems perspective, it fails with large societies and dense populations and we end up similar to what we have.
Capitalism is in the same boat but for different mathematical reasons with worse long-term effects if left unchecked.Never trust anyone... It's impossible and absurd to think one can live life without trusting anyone. lmao You don't have to be a fool or be duped by the Internet when exercising trust. My motto is simply trust until someone gives me a reason to not trust.
In India:
1. Want of boy child than a girl child
2. Dick size and tit size
3. Expensive brands are always good and local brands aren't good in terms of material used (Tust me decent Indian bramds are much better than other foriegn brands no matter clothes , shoes , food even a woman coz they believe in married life and are extremely loyal)
4. Thinking of Indian elders that woman can manage both home and office together. Nooo , they are humans too you can't expect them to earn and then cook , do laundry , clean , do all house hold work , Its better to keep a maid.
5. Men have to earn more than a woman. (Yes I was rejected for this by someone so i feel this is bad)
6. Religios people are decent, kind and have more morals , Now this is bullshit. A religious person isn't always kind merciful and can be a dick.that full capitalism is awesome,
for it to work it needs a mix of socialism and capitalism- u
That morals and truth are subjective to each person, that there is no objective standard.
That marriage is arbitrary.
That religious doctrines and dogmas can and should be changed to suit modern society.
Pretty much everything that modern society believes about love, relationships, marriage, and sex. "God cares about the power struggles of nations", "my special victim group is victimier than your special victim group", "if you didn't come to the conversation already believing what I believe then you are naieve/ignorant, for surely my source of 'news' and 'facts' is true and yours is false for no other reason than 'because'...", "Bob the preacher/politician/businessman really cares, not like all those other 'ere hers/politicians/businessmen'", "my kid is special", etc etc etc...
That there are inherently and objectively "right" and "wrong" morals. In reality, morals are ENTIRELY subjective to each and every individual, but many people are forced to uphold principals that were forced on them via societal influence.
I think the idea of credit is a little faulty, you basically dig yourself a financial hole to see if you can get back out, just seems like there has to be a better way
Honestly that Isalm is really a religion of peace. When nothing can be further from the truth.
That making your taste buds happy is worth killing an innocent animal.
That not 1 person can ever make the world a better place
It annoys me when people say that GM foods are bad.
Clothing is necessary for absolutely everything, especially things like swimming, sauna, hanging out at your house, boating, beaches, etc etc
There's just too much judging people. No one can judge another person.
That serving in the military is an i inherently honorible thing.
that government can make things free.
