Do you have extremist views?

[OddBeMe]

Would you know if you did?

Yes I’m extreme

No, I’m not

We all have extremist views, Mine I don't know why pro-lifers don’t want to put the women in jail for getting an abortion. If abortion is 1st degree murder then killing your child is first degree murder. We in prison for life or execute first to be murderers, depending on the state. So I don’t understand why abortion wouldn’t encompass life in prison or execution. If anything the women is more guilty of first degree murder than the abortion doctor. The abortion doctor is basically a hired hitman. Hired hitman go to jail for life and states where they execute first of the murderers. The person that hired the hitman is executed. So yes women should be executed or face life in prison for murdering her unborn child.

The excuse most conservative make is the woman was like two of your lied into committing a murder in the first degree you’re still guilty of committing murder in the first degree so the punishment would still stand. A man was lied to about his wife cheating on him so he kills her even though she’s not (basis for the play Othello). He would still be put to death for the planned murder of his wife. Same goes with abortion.

[OddBeMe]

Because deep down you know a fetus isn’t a person.

[Thotkiana]

I agree with you 100% stoner

[Exterminatore]

@stOner

I agree with your views.

[Aerissa_Jade]

@OddBeMe The real question though is if a Fetus isn't a person, how come someone who kills a women who is pregnant get charged with double murder?

[Stoner710]

Given that I believe life begins at conception a fetus is a person.

[Exterminatore]

@Aerissa

That’s just one of many contradictions with leftist.

Another is this:

Covid: trust the science.

Gender: men can become women despite chromosomes, don’t trust the science.

Then to fit whatever their agenda the science has changed.

Then back to abortion: look! Little hands and feet, but it’s just a fetus.

[AdithyaR]

I don't know if this is extremist but i believe that parents should never make their children follow any religion. The children can find it themselves and choose as they grow up.

[OddBeMe]

That I agree with and is crazy extremist. :)

[Aerissa_Jade]

I'm a constitutionalist so many say that I am for wanting to follow a ancient piece of paper.

At the same time I believe in freedom, lots of it for almost everything with zero or little restriction and as such people also see that as extremist as they want the government to restrict rights for things they do not support.

[OddBeMe]

That is funny. Every American would say they’re “pro constitution” and “pro absolute freedom”. Dude that’s not possible. :)

[Aerissa_Jade]

Not every, I've been told quite a bit (even here on GAG) that it is an old piece of paper and should be ignored.

That since it is impossible to get amendments in, that we need laws and courts to up hold them instead to get what they want.

[Fuentes]

@Aerissa_Jade only a liberal will tell you those things lol

[Paul_in_Indy]

Who said the US Constitution is a “piece of paper?” It’s five sheets of parchment, isn’t it?

[Potteplante]

But doesn't your constitution allow slavery? Go to jail, innocent or guilty & their rights will be taken away from you for the rest of their lives. They become the government's property.

& If you look at the constitution, then it is made for men - rest has been written in the last couple of decades. Being a constitutionalist - shouldn't you want the ancient piece of paper that hasn't been adjusted? Meaning a lot of people would lose their rights and freedom. Or is it alright to adjust a little in it - as long as it doesn't go against your beliefs and what you support?

[Paul_in_Indy]

@Potteplante Have you read the document? It is, hardly, some static misogynistic code of conduct. It outlines a system of governance that seeks to balance responsibilities and duties between three branches of government in a reasonable manner. …and I don’t know what changes you are referencing within the last 29 years?

[Aerissa_Jade]

@Potteplante When I say the constitution I am referring to all the amendments too, not just the original. It does not allow slavery in its current form with amendments.

Does not sound like you've read it.

[Paul_in_Indy]

Pre-1965, the US Constitution did not “allow” slavery. It was silent upon that a subject. It allowed for slavery to be outlawed. …because the Constitution is not an enumeration of rights, but a system by which we actively govern ourselves.

[Potteplante]

@Aerissa_Jade, so you're in for cherry picking? The amendments you agree to are safe - but those you don't, shouldn't be a part of it? If you're pro constitutional, then you should be anti-change. The amendments aren't the constitution - they're additions to the Constitution and rights that are by far not safe, since well they ain't a part of the constitution. Same sex marriage, rights for women and colored etc. Not protected.

It actually does, you've so many people in the US without rights to vote. - Some that have been failed by the constitution, their right to a speedy and just trial, the notion of innocent until proven guilty, which includes innocent people that simply do the crime of being poor. - why do you think you've such an INSANE prison population? Cheap labour - that was needed after slavery was abolished. Hence "war on drugs" and so on.

[Aerissa_Jade]

@Potteplante Once an amendment is added it is part of the constitution, enough said.

[Paul_in_Indy]

@Potteplante That’s ridiculous. The Constitution includes the process of how to amend it. Amending the document is explicitly constitutional.

You cannot simply tell people that their initial statement requires them to believe something (something that makes no sense) which would make your counter argument correct. It makes you sound like a lunatic. (Seriously, that is a free tip.)

I do encourage you to read the US Constitution. It is clear you have not. It isn’t your document, I know, but it is a masterpiece of political compromise and a paragon of clear and concise legislation.

[Aerissa_Jade]

@Paul_in_Indy Exactly well said, those that think amendments are invalid thus we have to believe in the original as written are ignorant and haven't read it.

[Fuentes]

@Potteplante just cause your poor doesn't mean you can break laws lol

[msmissydc]

Depends who you ask. Some peo le would say yes. Also as the political mid is going more and more to the right (opinion basedlnotmammount based) my opinions are slided to the left from their point of view.

[lightbulb27]

I wouldn't say extreme, but gotta define what that means. It seems my view of the "police brutality" differs from others, so that may be extreme... relative to how society views it.

Beyond that, I'm kinda middle of the road and depends on the issues. I'm maybe more defined as... oddball, non compliant, independent... island of misfit toys?

my angle on issues is more to see progress which improves individuals lives and creates peace. But dealing with traumatized, selfish humans operating out of a base of negative emotions... we'll... that's a toughie isn't it? Jesus tried and sometimes had to sake his shoes off. I'm not even close. People cling to their problems because they can't see them.

[loveslongnails]

Funny question. I've been told I have extremist views by conservatives who think anything that's not far right is bananas. LOL I'm sure some of my views would sound extreme to certain people, and I also think that in "some cases", they are a bit of a radical solution to ongoing problems.

So I guess that's a "Yes... sometimes, but not just because someone closed minded thinks so!" LOL

[Anonymous]

My views are only extreme to prudes or those living under a rock.

[OddBeMe]

That’s an interesting angle you bring. Other people’s perception. What is extreme to you? Society’s views or yours?

[FreyaRed]

Yes, according to mainstream media. It's exclusively in matter of illegal immigration from specific religious background and introduction of real secularism in my country.

[OddBeMe]

You’re not for secularism?

[FreyaRed]

pro secularism

[OddBeMe]

Good! What country?

[FreyaRed]

One where catholic clergy has still enough political power to bring complete abortion ban through parliament.

[OddBeMe]

Sounds like America…at least half of it. I think Baptist’s are more numerous. And Mormons, dear lord…

[Kaneki05]

My views are only extreme to the right so no. Now if my views were also extreme to the left then that would be so.

[KittyKat90210]

That picture has me laughing so hard. I don't think they have to worry about any woman taking their virginity! :D

[Leopard23]

My views are moderate but described as extreme by extremists on the left.

[OddBeMe]

True, extremists like to point at others

[Juxtapose]

Like this?

Anyone who is in support of that is the extremist, not I.

[OddBeMe]

I literally googled the headline and couldn’t find that.

[Juxtapose]

Sounds like a "you" problem.

[OddBeMe]

Sounds like “I don’t want anyone to know I got this from a right wing Reddit post”

[Juxtapose]

And this lets me know you don't know what you're talking about.

[Juxtapose]

I didn't want to hold your hand but I want to show you just how easy it was for me to find this again.

www.google.com/.../12592714

Took me less than 10 minutes.

[OddBeMe]

all right all right. It does see overly harsh. But they are a freakin island...

[Juxtapose]

Do you understand now why I am so passionate about all this?

[goaded]

I don't. I think there will be a lot of people on here who defend things that 80% of Americans don't agree with and think they're not extreme.

[inhua]

yeah I believe there are only 2 genders. that's an extremist view

[NathanDavis]

that depends on your point of reference... then I might

[call_me_scar]

To some extent I mean I don't value the lives of corrupt politician's or those that buy them out

[OddBeMe]

I wouldn’t kill them until you make it illegal first.

[call_me_scar]

Not sure what u mean by "until you make it illegal first" I mean murder is illegal right now so if you have the means go ahead and kill them. I would be ok with jail but I think we all know in our current legal system they aren't going to a bad prison as white collar crime despite hurting way more people isn't seen as bad as normal crime

[OddBeMe]

My point is bribing a politician isn’t illegal.

[call_me_scar]

And I believe it should be as the consequences of those bribes will kill and or hurt a lot of people so they have just as much blood on their hands which makes them a target

[OddBeMe]

Absolutely. But “money is speech” says the right wing SCOTUS.

[call_me_scar]

Yep and the Dems like Hillary Clinton or Obama, to bad we can't just get a lot of terminally ill people that can't be cured to eliminate all these killers at once

[OddBeMe]

Dems certainly raise money and plays ball with citizens United, but don’t false equivalence. Dems overwhelmingly want that to end.

[call_me_scar]

Oh yeah the average citizens want that to end but I was talking about the politicians themselves well most of them anyways most certainly don't want it to end the most id hear from those targets is they want dark money to end but that's hardly the only form of bribery

[OddBeMe]

Democrats verbally say they do when asked. They campaign on it (ironically making money off it). Is that what they really want? Who knows. But they’re the only ones promising it. Obliviously promises are rarely kept.

[call_me_scar]

Yeah even desantis the torturer claims to be against it or at the very least claims to be against big companies but judging from the 100s of millions he gave to Disney that isn't true. As for it being what the corrupt ones want doesn't matter if in their heart of hearts they agree it's bad the point is the do it and that action or lack there of in policies hurt and kill people making them a target for me. Remember Hillary back in the day she was in favor in a medicare for all system but then she took money and now she's against it. That policy alone could save 30k people a year and help others but she'd never vote on it if given the chance. How about Obama he went soft on wall street those people who crashed are economy got bonuses as the rest of us were left to rot and the second he left office he collected a few 100k from them doing speeches with this info I think we know why those promises aren't followed through they are ok with death and suffering as long as they have fat wallets and I'd love nothing more than to stab a knife through it

[Exterminatore]

Well…. I’m a self professing Clerical Fascist, so yeah I do.


Meme is hilarious.

[AngryCarl2]

I'm about as middle-of-the-road as it's possible to be. I don't fully support anything.

[ChefPapiChulo]

I’m a rational educated man. I don’t associate myself with extremist.

[msc545]

I have some extremist views in some things, not all.

[Snakeyes7]

Extremist is subjective.

[OddBeMe]

No it’s not.

[Snakeyes7]

I get called an extremist by saying that there are only two genders.

[OddBeMe]

I was joking and agreeing with you. But you’re right. Science compartmentalized into two genders. Someone decides to switch, that’s their business.

[Snakeyes7]

They can switch but it might not be the answer they were looking for.

[WhiteBoyChill]

No. But anyone who supports BLM could really benefit from going to a mental institution.

[Thotkiana]

What does extremist mean

[OddBeMe]

A “fringe” belief, I guess.

[Thotkiana]

Yes I am one then

[Petr87]

I detest extremism.
