Throw your phone off a bridge, throw your tablets, laptops, computers etc. away completely?
What if in doing so you would have more time, energy, and ambition that would in turn allow you to thrive, live and love others like never before.
Would you do it?

When this question is posed, the majority of women who support abortion rights will respond with something like "men already have a choice... they can choose not to have sex". Well the obvious fact is that women have that exact same choice, but when they make a mistake and get pregnant they can choose abortion to opt out of being a parent. And that is exactly why the vast majority of abortions happen.

The whole "it's my body, my choice" thing seems more like an excuse to allow women to control everything related to reproduction when you consider why women actually choose to have abortions. They are choosing not to be a parent for exactly the same reasons why men would like to choose not to be a parent when they made exactly the same mistake.

There would of course have to be some strict requirements if we made "paper abortions" legal. A man would have to let the pregnant woman know of his choice early enough in the pregnancy that she can make an informed choice about whether she wants to abort or continue with the pregnancy knowing she will be a single mother without financial support from the father. The woman would need to notify the man of the pregnancy early enough to make that choice in time to meet the requirement. If she doesn't, she forfeits her right to child support. The man would have to give up the right to be a part of the child's life.

So, if women can choose to have an abortion simply because they made a mistake and are not ready or willing to become a parent, shouldn't men have a similar option? It seems hypocritical to argue otherwise.

"It rejected the argument from Cruz’s team that the government had a legitimate role to play in “discouraging prurient interests in autonomous sex and the pursuit of sexual gratification unrelated to procreation.” No, government officials could not claim as part of their job duties the obligation to reduce masturbation or nonprocreative sexual activity."

Wouldn't attacks on Churches be hate crimes?

How about harassing Conservative Justices by doxing them. Isn't doing that a form of insurrection?

mmhmmmm Abortions are still gonna keep happening even if you ban it or not. and its going to result in a lot of unnecessary tragic consequences.

There's a reason we repealed the prohibition 18th Amendment...

It is on Youtube unless they took it down.

It shows how DNC hired people by paying them $10 for each fake ballot they created. One guy made $40,000 inventing 4000 ballots. Many people voted for other people which is illegal.

Some states speed limit is 55 , some 65
Some allow Pot for fun , some don;t.
Some states are right to work , some are not.
Now Abortion will be the same way.

Liberals want to squash State Rights and have a centralized Gov't tell you what you can do, when you can speak, and what you can say. Same for everyone , hence Socialism.

OZ for Senate
I think he will win because Trump endorsed him and that usually is enough. Ted Nugent endorsed him also.

I do. I don’t have to explain myself. What do you think?

Does school bullying play an important role in society?
As in, does a healthy society need school bullies and enemies in school, in order to create healthy adults?

Note: I am NOT asking "Do you like bullying?" or not; almost no one actually likes bullies. Nor do I care about your morality, either.

I am asking "DOES VERBAL SCHOOL BULLYING AND NAMECALLING PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN DEVELOPING CHILDREN INTO BECOMING WHO THEY ARE AS ADULTS IN A HEALTHY SOCIETY?"

Doesn't even have to be actual "bullying," but mocking or teasing someone. I am mostly talking about verbal bullying and maybe some light physical contact, like wedgies and stuff. I'm not really talking about fist fights and serious violence in schools, nor am I talking about death threats or trying to get children to off themselves. Obviously, there's a point of going too far. I'm not talking about that.

I strongly believe, yes, bullying or pushback served a role in balancing the social hierarchy for children.

"Bullying is a natural part of a balanced society. The negative to counterbalance the positives in life and make you appreciate them more. Like the predators that hunt prey in the wild. They may not be 'good' in the eyes of some people, but they definitely served a purpose. By either teaching kids how to defend themselves against those that would seek to oppress them. Or by putting the feckless and weak in their place so we don't get a generation of Millhouses on social media who think they can disrespect people without consequences. Bullies also often got put in their place as well, so they too don't grow up to become corporate D-bags and managers who disrespect people in workplaces like EA and Activision-Blizzard. When you remove bullying from an entire society for 25 years, you get Millennials and Twitter. Do you really want to live in a world where kids grow up to become Blue Checkmarks?" - MCheetah (off GAG)

She details some pretty graphic violence. Again, these two people are horrible, but let’s not take sides.

Funny that right wingers value fetuses but not illegal immigrants.

Cause this republican North Dakota senator does! no exceptions he says!

NEW: Republican U. S. Senator from North Dakota Kevin Cramer says the fetus is worth losing the mother's life, says there's no exceptions. pic.twitter.com/1kqnp1uGCr— chris evans (@notcapnamerica) May 5, 2022

So if a mother is pregnant and something goes wrong and removing the fetus is the only way to save her life? tough shit according to this guy!
