Each State breakdowns and the Fed have breakdowns of assistance per child, with one parent or two. Im all for assistance and I know the money doesn't cover all cost.
So, in your estimation, teaching sex education in the schools would altogether eliminate the need for organizations such as Mercy Multiplied.
Not at all. But teaching quality sex ed (including safe sex, birth control, teen pregnancy, STDs, abortions, etc) in schools was one of the things I mentioned. Along with the other social reforms.
I see this as less of an incentive and more of a problem from lack of education and opportunity. They aren't making money. They are losing SO much.
I realize that. Unfortunately it can be a generational thing. Lack of education is a key, but there has to be a greater incentive to pursue opportunities.
Sex Ed will probably be the next thing after critical race theory the Republicans go after in school. "They're teaching out kids to have sex!" The humanity
Opportunity to work 3 jobs to cover rent and daycare isn't really great incentive, if you know what I mean.
Apparently, they are. She didn't quote or specify your name in her post. She expressed an opinion and you took it as an insult.
again. If you have missed the passive agrrssive round about jabs, thats on you. This is twice now ive been in discussion about this topic and twice she yelled that out. No times in between. Because she doesn't specify me specifically, doesn't mean she int aiming at me. The timing is more than coincidence. Now pair that up with many of her posts being passive agressive… yeah. No. Im not offended. Im simply calling bullshit out. Anyhow movin on. Some people hate. Im not one of them no matter what she thinks.
You clearly are offended, it sent you quickly in to your victim playing cycle. You could have easily ignored it and continued on the conversation we were having. You always hammer on about personal responsibility, then shit, ignore stuff instead of letting it get you so riled that up you whine on and on, and derail your ability to actually have a conversation. I've seen you long enough to know that isn't going to happen, you make your passive aggressive comments right back, and then you'll complain about hypocrisy, and round and around. Just fucking ignore it and conversate. Again, she didn't call you out. If you take offense to her specifying who she was saying, then maybe you fall in to that category? If not, why make assumptions(again something you always hate people do with your statements), why not ask her to clarify, like you always ask others to do? But no, of course you couldn't do what you expect of others. It was her opinion that those people should fuck off, why feel so insulted? Opinions aren't insults, right?
She's allowed to express her opinion It appears aimed at all men who want to try and control a woman's body. If you include yourself in that well... Ignore her posts if you don't like what she has to say. Why do you care so much what she thinks?
There are certain subjects that are black and white to some people for a variety of reasons. Women not having a say in what happens to their bodies is one of those subjects for @crandc. Trying to introduce gray areas, what-ifs, or strawmen is not going to change or modify her opinion. Let me give you an easy example... I don't think adults should fuck children. Period. But if someone(s) started trying to debate me with shit like... If it's bad to have sex with girls why is it they can get pregnant? Obviously, nature approves of this! If god didn't want kids to have sex why did Mary get pregnant with Jesus at age 13? Why isn't it one of the 10 Commandments? Or what if there was only me and a 15yr old girl left in the world, wouldn't we have to start having sex to repopulate the world? And after reading shit like that and other weird arguments I would say FUCK THE HELL OFF TRYING TO THINK OF REASONS TO HAVE SEX WITH KIDS. It doesn't make me a hypocrite that I won't address the counterpoints and arguments for having sex with kids. It doesn't make me a bad person for not wanting to have a "discussion" about it. To me, there is no discussion to be had about this. While I have no intention to try and speak for Crandc I get the strong feeling that abortion rights are a similar line in the sand for her. You should really try to understand that. You may not agree but it quickly grows to a point that there really isn't much for you to talk to her about concerning this. Another example, I really like @Phatguysrule and many of his opinions on politics and society. But honestly, and this is the first time I'm saying anything, I don't agree with him on a lot of his views about guns and gun control. I see that he is very knowledgeable and very passionate about this subject. I too am somewhat knowledgeable and passionate about different areas in support of gun control. But honestly, I don't see any real reason to get into some big debate with him about them because neither of us is going to change our positions. We'll go around and around and both end up right where we are.
The flaw in this is i wasnt discussing it with crand i was discussing it with rr7. There is a difference between not wanting to discuss aNd not allowing others to discuss without tossing insults out there. One is what happened. The other is not. After she wouldn't accept my apology for the last time i tried discussing it with her, ( which i didn't really need to apologize for), i gave up trying to put her into any consideration regarding what i discuss. Respect is a two way street.
