I find it weird they make a show about catching sexual predators. Get the guys help, don't just shove a cam in their face.

Of course it's worth it.
I refuse to believe you're this psychopathically indifferent to human suffering.
He's the kind of guy who says he wouldn't kill one person to save a million, "because killing people is wrong."

I mean, he HAS said that.

Give it time and trans men will be next. I can already feel it, even though we're largely ignored inside and outside of the community as it is.
I don't get why you think this. Most day to day people don't really care if a girl wants to be a guy, but flip it around and everyone loses their minds.
I hear trans women say all the time that trans men have it easier like that's some sort of justification for pretending we don't exist and it's really annoying.
What?

I never said that.
I wasn't talking about you in particular.
oh okay, sorry if it came off that way
Basically it boils down to "trans men have it easier because they have male privilege and don't get murdered as often"

Kind of makes my blood boil.
Murdered...? What do you mean?
Read the news. Gays and Trans people are targeted and killed for what they are.

The irony and short sightendness of these people is baffling. Gays get marriage in the US and suddenly gays around the entire globe are fine?

And it's sad I'm not surprised they're pulling the "white guilt" card.

Also Class, take a break and calm down. Throwing petty insults around and getting so worked up helps no one.

Reminder that this is Serious. Follow the rules (loosely) please.

No, class, you've given us an IS and an OUGHT, but you have failed to explain how the latter is derived from the former.

Stop shitposting and address it or concede.
There's nothing to address. The only way you get your morals is through a fucking imaginary cloudman so youre really not in any position to say my is and ought dont connect

Serious / Re: Regarding the North Carolina bathroom bill
« on: April 04, 2016, 02:51:00 AM »
Basically the bathroom you are required by law to use is what it says on your birth certificate, which is generally the last document to get changed. So essentially it's just a massive "fuck you" and completely unenforceable.

That's the worst idea ever. Because people aren't already fucking insane, and they don't flip their shit when someone who could be perceived as the opposite sex such as a trans woman early in to transition therapy enters the women's bathroom.
It all boils down to a bunch of old men thinking the trans people entering the bathroom = they're gonna be sexual predators.

And it seems trans men are completely non existent in this bill. The whole thing is just silly.

I came up with Luciana for a story I was trying to work on, but never got far with. Now every time I see Lucina from Fire Emblem, I confuse it and get annoyed.

I suppose it's just a difference of priorities then. I am very concerned about risk-avoidance in a fighting setting, which bleeds into that thought process.
I personally think if a woman does just as much as a man in terms of that qualification, she shouldn't have to be assigned or put in something second class. No pun intended.

And fighting will always be a risk, regardless of who fights. No ifs and's or buts about it

Would it help if I clarified that I am referring to segregation in a purely military context? Obviously if segregation is universal, it will never go away.

But morale and unit cohesion is important. It would be ridiculous to mix freedmen with white southerners in the US army in the year 1880, there would be too much to go wrong. By 1915 you can blur the lines. By 1940 actively work toward integration. Full integration as the civil rights movement gets into full swing.
Yeah I understood what you were talking about. In fact when I heard it, I thought of the all black units they had (led by a white commander) in WW2. That's why I honestly disagree with it. I just fundamentally think segregating units is something that stops progress that needs to be made. The whole "wait for things to settle down" thing just seems silly to me. You'd be training with them for months on end. The unit cohesion is built there if you ask me.

I understand the examples you're making, and they're good ones, but I disagree with them.

There is no fucking consensus.
Climate change deniers will tell you the same thing.
The two aren't comparable, silly. Unless you meant how he said it.

In that case no, they'd say "I'm not a scientist". I hate hearing that sooooo much.

Provided enough women could meet the male standards, how do you feel about the idea of all-female combat units? This would avoid the issues inherent in mixed units.
Isn't that just segregation though?
Segregation that may be necessary. The fact of the matter is that men behave differently around women. Our heads are wired differently. Segregation based on ethnicity might have been required at first due to cultural and ethnic tensions, but could eventually be phased out based on changes in the relationships between different groups. Men and women are first socioculturally, then biologically compelled to behave differently around one another, and there's no getting around the latter.
I see. I disagree on the ethnicity bit 100%, but I just wanted to see where you were coming from.

Also, the wired differently thing brain wise is actually a questionable thing and still being studied and heavily debated. In fact last I checked, society has more of an impact with it than the actual brain itself.

I saw a good video on it but that was a while ago. Idk if I can find it.

Been listening to this for the past few hours. Say what you will about TPP, but it has a brilliant soundtrack.
I felt it only had like... 4 good songs. And even then, things like Peace Walker were far more memorable to me.

This playing while you were fighting was, in my opinion, far more memorable than anything MGS V did.

Is that not the entire point of laws in a liberal republic?
I've never seen a more self fulfilling prophecy than the social conservatives freaking out and passing these bills under the auspices of protecting their religious freedom when in reality it's just discriminating against people or beliefs they don't particularly feel comfortable with.

What happened to that one small line in the Deceleration of Independence people love to champion. The whole "All men are created equal" thing?

Also, can you elaborate on your liberal comment in an earlier post? I wanted to know what you meant.
They were equal until they decided that they want to be a special snowflake.
I asked him, not you. If I want your opinion on it, I'd ask for it.

when Christians are just as annoying with it.
Are you insane?

iirc some catholic dude committed suicide on the alter of Notre-Dame in France when the government legalized gay marriage there

it's not exactly unreasonable to expect this kind of behavior from Christians as well
I remember that.
