Because if it's the latter, I don't see why they couldn't just move the population.

I fail to see how it's different to the queen speaking to them. I mean, she's head of the church of england.
Not that it matters to me anyway.
Does she even study theology?

I'm good at it, but it gives me a bunch of trouble some times. And even in coding I don't think I will be using 3.14159((pie)) anytime soon.
oh boy

There was this one autistic kid who did some weird shit.
One time he just ran up to us when we were walking in the hallway, pointed his finger at us and screamed, "YOU'RE MEAN!". He quickly scampered away as we just stared in confusion because we'd never interacted with him before.
Then another time he just walked up and hit me in the chest but it was sort of a limp handed effort so we just stood there looking confused until he got all nervous and left.

Just let the current live bunch of them die out and start actually making parents have to be responsible with reproduction. Mother doesn't want to cooperate? Kill the kid when it pops out of her and is no longer protected by her autonomy. Reproduction is not a matter of personal right, you are producing the agents of the public sector, putting out new members of society is a public activity.

Most porn sites don't have copyright policies, so they can't be taken down on those grounds. Or so I've heard.
It's also just funny, because you're implying that whatever you just posted is as pleasurable as porn.

I feel like there are two kinds of George Carlin fans, those who enjoy him because they agree whole-heartedly with everything he says, and those who just think it's funny when old men get angry about politics.

I hate hasidic jews. Otherwise the most I have to say about Jews is purposely muddying the distinction between race and belief systems is as Old World dumb as philosophies get.

In a way you could say he represents a large organization that represents the feelings and views of the people under that organization, and in that way what he says is relevant.

Calling it "female circumcision" is glib as fuck.
Sorry, wormdicks--foreskin isn't anywhere near as important as the clitoris. Don't inject this issue with your fucking non-issue.
Just because FGM intersects with feminist issues doesn't change the fact that it is characteristically similar to circumcision. Everyone should be opposed to FGM and everyone in the West is, but for some reason the same people can't simultaneously recognize the principles behind why FGM is wrong and how they apply to circumcision. Just because you don't care about yourself being cut or not is not a way to tell others that they cannot care about that decision being made for them. If you want people to stop fucking injecting this topic into your circlejerk, you need to properly address why you fail to abide by your own established values. The magnitudes of each problem aren't enough for it to be a matter of "this is the priority we have to deal with this first". Probably half of the males in the US are cut, yet what .1% of the female populace were mutilated? Sure FGM is powers more serious on an individual level, but one of these acts happens in the scope of society while the other has to be done under wraps in small communities or face global condemnation. Just an off point but this topic illustrates why the feminist rhetoric today fails to uphold the values it claims to have (that is, seeking true gender equality and not merely the betterment of women). A characteristically similar issue between two genders is present (genital mutilation, work force distribution) yet only the problems women face are completely fleshed out and discussed in public dialogue (FGM is globally condemned and pay inequality is a hot topic of debate) while problems men face simply aren't even discussed (circumcision is widespread in America and discussion of it as an issue is considered taking away from the FGM issue, men are disproportionately the ones who are injured or die in work environments). You don't have to have a view on either of these topics, it's the mere fact that the latter two arent even discussed on a national level comparable to their female counterparts. (Which is even more insulting because permanent injury or death is most certainly a more heinous issue than losing 23 cents an hour) Don't give me "I don't care" shit.

I disagree, it is a gift because it allows the species to choose to do good rather than just defaulting to natural programming.
this is why people say psychology is a soft science.

To be honest I'm not a person who needs a house. I only need one room one bath. I don't think a house is something I'm willing to invest in if I don't use 80% of it.

so then how could it be unethical to murder a person who has no external value (such as a homeless person with no family)?
I wouldn't suppose it is unethical, aside from who gets to determine what precisely is no external value. I guess we stand to disagree then.

Just wondering if you missed the part where the puppies were going to die. Why exactly does that matter outside of human response to it happening? Sure a being naturally wants to live and death is obviously in opposition to that, but that want is not there to be dissatisfied if the agent is dead. There is no negative once something is dead, because death is only negative if something is alive to think that.

Well when you say he owed them that I kind of took it as you saying he was obligated to do that, when it'd likely produce good results (dogs with families and families with dogs). But I'd say he's not really obligated to because even if he was stupid or lazy and didn't go for the optimal option, he still solved the problem and all parties had virtually no negative experiences as a result of it. He solved the problem in a way that isn't really objectionable, it's just he created the problem to begin with.

Sure, holding a puppy and blowing its brains out may be less scary, but shepherds have a very high adoption rate and since the guy was responsible for their birth (via not spaying his dog or trying to breed without knowing how), he really owed those puppies a bit more of a chance (and dignity) than being shot at 12 weeks old.
I think while we can say that this event is most definitely avoidable and it's his fault it wasn't avoided, I think we can also agree that the difference between putting those dogs in shelters and quickly ending their lives is minimal. Shelters have plenty of animals to be giving away already and now they won't have these few as burdens for whatever duration they would stay there. As for the puppies, they're dead, they can't know the difference. Dignity is just a concept designed to make things appear neater than they are (the only negative experience these pups had from being shot rather than injected is hearing the gunshot for the one in front of them) so humans don't feel as bad when they look at the scene. But any rational person can recognize that that is a purely emotional distinction and that the two method are effectively equal in terms of humanity. You can say that no animals should be killed, yeah, but that really just makes this specific event completely unimportant compared to other issues. also this topic just reminded me of that one marine who threw puppies off a cliff i hope he lost his fucking legs and someone threw him down a flight

Insects are literally scum. They can't feel pain, they can't even think. They don't deserve to even exist on this planet.
I'm not biologist but most of them respond to bodily harm in ways similar to higher level animals, indicating they have some sense of desire not to experience something. "but thats instinctual behavior patterns!" So is your repulsion of insects. There's a reason this elicits a different response than this.
HOLY SHIT THAT PARROT PLUS SOAD IM DED NIGGA IM DED
that is completely not what i intended to link i intended a panda cub but this works too heh

Your attitude would quickly change if insects suddenly disappeared.
I'd be willing to let that happen. Seriously, people blow the whole insect necessity myth way out of proportion. Humans can pollinate. Low-tier mammals can eat things other than insects. We can breed animals and plants without them.
And you, you're completely disregarding just how critical insects are to life on Earth. I suggest you do some grade school-tier research on how food chains work before spouting nonsense like that.
I love how everyone just ignores my posts, lmao
We. Don't. Need. A. Food. Chain.
Without proper preparation to accommodate the disappearance of it the food industry wouldn't respond fast enough (because you're essentially creating an industry in a week's time) to not have people starving to death. Sure inevitably things would stabilize, but that's not the point. The point is we couldn't sustain what we currently have without those things.

one thing i will always feel guilty for were all the craneflies i killed because i was terrified that they were mosquitos the size of my palm
they aren't mosquitos ;_; how could i accuse them of that
Who cares? They're still bugs. They're still disgusting.
I'm technically an adult, but I still go out of my way to kill insects when I see them.
eh i like to think that if a creature enjoys eating and mating and isn't intrusive that i ought to leave them be. i mean i could kill them because theyre icky and holy shit fucking terrifying if flying at me, but the act of killing them usually is pretty icky and unpleasant itself (except for well, ants and mosquitos, which I killed in troves). craneflies in particular heh, those things bodies are like 80% spring killing them with a napkin takes several checks.

I already gave reasons as to why the West directly started these wars above, so just respond to that if you're going to respond at all 
Except the complex web of alliances in 1913/14 Europe isn't regarded as the seminal cause of the War; it's Russia's initial mobilisation.
Well if someone abides by their alliance, I'd say the alliance is the reason it happened. And if the West didn't abide by their alliances in response, it wouldn't have been a world war.
