"Gays deserve basic human rights" - This looks like an agreeable opinion until you realize that "Gays deserve equal rights" is more correct.

Let's keep the basic human rights thing in there. I'd rather not face a world where both straights and gays are equally enslaved by someone

Coming from a non western Nation the Boner you guys have for worshping and glorifying someone for the sex they like is so fucking funny

ZRod
You forgot to mention the most developed and highest quality of life. Equal rights does that as you don't simply squabble over oppression.
thefreestyler
Haha! Rekt! :D The "mindless drones" part is especially rich coming from someone perpetuating conservative values.
ZRod
How is giving someone equal rights "worshipping and glorifying" them?
ThermiteKitten
Equal isn't quite right, I prefer equivalent rights. Blindly making everything the same doesn't always make things fair.
ThePakistallion
Profound shit you just said. Not everyone realizes this.
ninjafinity
Though to me, "equivalent rights" opens up the idea of separate but equal. I don't want an "equivalent" of marriage, I want marriage.
jsd3306
that mattered specifically for gay couples. It's hard for me to think of an example.
jsd3306
"equal" would for example giving same access to birth control, whereas "equivalent" would be taking that effort and placing it somewhere 1/
UsernameNotTakenYet
Same access to birth control... for homosexual couples... What?
jsd3306
Exactly. It would be worthless to them. Hence where equivalent would be giving them something of similar value that is useful.
ThermiteKitten
Equality means that gay and straight people are equally allowed to get married heterosexually. Fair equivalence allows for gay marriage.
ninjafinity
What the hell does "married heterosexually" mean?
ThermiteKitten
Marriage between a man and a woman. Gay and straight people equally have the right to have a heterosexual marriage in most cultures.
ThermiteKitten
As a gay guy, I want rights that benefit a male/male marriage, not rights tailored to the assumption that one of us is female.
ninjafinity
How are marriage rights tailored to the assumption that they are between a man and a woman?

Abortions, planned parenthood, and non binary gender stuff.

Non binary gender makes no sense to me, switching your sexual identity back and forth is not a legit thing. And I think abortion is murder.

As in women should have a choice to abort, men should also have a say, and if they say they don't want a kid, they shouldn't require to pay
mechanimated
What to do with the kid after birth is a whole 'nother discussion, but no way a man should have a say in a woman's choice to abort or not.

whyarealltheusernamestakenimpanicking
It isn't that black and white. Both people are responsible for a pregnancy, but women get more say in the matter because it's THEIR body.
whyarealltheusernamestakenimpanicking
And the guy didn't want to have it? So what? There is a baby now & both the mother & the father have legal obligations to care for it.
ThePickle
It's only a baby if the mother wants it. If she doesn't, it's not a baby and can be disposed of
whyarealltheusernamestakenimpanicking
Fine. True. But if the mother does want it (or, doesn't want an abortion) then it's a person that two people are responsible for.
SpenceOrSpencer
That comment isn't about the pregnancy, it's about the man not having say whether they support the kept child or not.
leofelixson
If they took a risk and had unsafe sex, it's both their problems - only time nonpayment should be considered is failed birth control, maybe.
Opner
She took the risk of unsafe sex, she should be forced to carry to term... see how dumb this logic is?
leofelixson
When birth control is available? Abortions should not be birth control - "whoops, I got knocked up, silly me - better abort it."
aphallatosis
Leo said people shouldn't get free abortions, opner argued that abortions should be legal. Nicely sums up why I don't vote.

char limit makes things difficult... thought we were both talking about child support, not payment for abortions.

I don't think you actually got the point of what either said.

That's not what I said. Meant nonpayment insofar as child support - abortions should be for health reasons, not as substitute birth control.

Isn't abortion potentially harmful to the mother? If so, then to what extent should the father have a say?

I am a father, because I chose to be a father. I wanted to be a father. I love being a father. I am not obligated to be a father.
Flyndaran
Either way child support is for the kid, not the mom. The kid belongs exactly as much to the father as the mother.
bufferkiller
This is not true in America. If the parents are not together, the mother has far more rights and it is not even close to equal.

Binary meaning 2 gender system. As in male/female. A nonbinary person is someone who does not want to be labeled male/female.
Sprixxen
So, it's not transgender. Which is when a male identifies as a female or vice versa. It's people who don't identify as either male or female
Sprixxen
A reminder. They still have a sex. Which will always be male/female. Gender can be different and they see it as a social construct.

Which ones don't you agree with? I'm curious.
SweetBabyYeezus
Same
Lockerkid
I agree with this statement.
tanadarko
Doesn't the one about racism and how a person looks is really really specific?
RoguePineapple
Rape is never the victim's fault. But getting drunk and making bad decisions doesn't give someone the excuse to claim rape either.
danzafan37
The abuse one confuses me because it sounds like it is saying the abusee is also an abuser. The rest are pretty good with me
MadamMischief
I think what it's trying to say is that women can be abusive too, not just men
tanadarko
They just mean either person in the relationship can be abusive, or both of them.
KatInTheCorner
In some locations guns are needed (shooting wolves that are trying to eat your sheep is srs bsnss), but not handguns/assault rifles. Yeesh.
TheLastSouthernGentleman
I already can't own an automatic weapon. (Assault rifle is a made up term to describe scary looking guns)
NoahJoseph
Yeah, here's a great illustration of that point: http://imgur.com/j85rp2U Same gun, same capabilities; one just has a black kit w/ rails
KatInTheCorner
I think the big difference is the magazine. Take that off and I'm significantly less worried.
BlueBomber05
Not the same, the one on the bottom has a big magazine, doesn't have to be reloaded as often, you can kill more people in a mass shooting
KatInTheCorner
All guns look scary in the possession of someone you don't trust or know.
iameverythingimgurhates
To some people. Not to everyone. I've seen strangers with guns and it didn't bother me in the slightest.
KatInTheCorner
And what about them made you feel "safe" and not fearful?
obamahasmytv
Ya its pretty liberal
Sprixxen
Which one is liberal? I mean...In the US these look center/center-left. In Europe this looks center/center-right. In Russia this is liberal.
iamdistant
I'm not very fond of liberals.
GratefulUndead
For seriousl. Global warming!? A scientific conspiracy! Equal rights for gays and women!? Damn them to hell. Legal guns!? Those bastards!

Well you took it to the extreme, I was just making an observation how most of those views are towards the leftist side

Yeah. The nonbinary gender thing...I just don't buy it.

That's one I've got to be neutral on, it seems suspicious to me, but I don't live in their head so what right have I to 1/2

dismiss what they may actually feel. 2/2
Flyndaran
I have no mental gender, so the very concept of it is unfathomable to me. I just don't care and find it weird that so many go nuts about it.
Flyndaran
Who gives a shit? As long as you're not an asshole about it, you can think they're wombats for all we care. Just don't hurt them.

You don't have to buy it. All they're usually asking of you is a different pronoun. That costs you literally nothing and can save them (1)

I don't think they care what you think neither are they asking for your permission.

Well someone's a sensitive little bitch today
GratefulUndead
Sure. Or acceptance and caring towards other humans and asking others for the same is not that hard. But sure, if you feel that way.
RenegadeTQ
They kind of are. Constantly asking for acceptance requires third party opinion. Tolerance is another thing
GratefulUndead
I think we all care to be treated with respect. Oh, but because one guy doesn't buy it? Well then, I'll just have to conform.
RenegadeTQ
You're asking for the conformity of everyone else by asking for acceptance though. How is that any difference. I'm not saying it's okay /1
RenegadeTQ
to be disrespectful but that doesn't mean a person should have to agree that a guy wearing makeup and a dress is suddenly a woman. (2/2)
JanaJustinsdottir
But that's more of an issue you have with science. I was amazed that an entire lecture in forensic anthro was dedicated to telling ppl that
JanaJustinsdottir
sex =/= gender, and that gender was a social construct, but I am constantly reminded that people still have issues with that fact.
JanaJustinsdottir
This was important in forensics because people who don't get that fact constantly misidentify gender in remains because of objects at burial

How is any of this negotiable (except, mayyybe, the gun one)???

Is it still a "side chick" if you're doing ethical non-monogamy (i.e. everyone knows and is cool with it)?

I'm pretty sure the French think the whole "side chick" thing is perfectly normal.

Personally it's the gun part, the non-binary part and the trans part. There is a reason behind all three of them.

You should have the right to defend yourself from criminals and criminal governments. I'm not from the US btw.

And what may I ask is wrong with pointy sticks? Hmmm?
ThisUsernameIsNoLongerAvailableIsStillNotEvenAvailable
We don't have guns in the UK and no one has ever needed one to "defend" themselves. Guns are for killing, nothing else.
Mayhzon
I don't want to be that asshole, but right now a certain 1400 young females come to mind...
irontom
You have guns in the UK.
Bisright
Not really, level of gun ownership is pretty much limited to hunting. Not self defence.
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
Sure no one in the UK could ever have benefitted from having a gun in the history of your very old country. Just the people you conquered.

I think some of them are negotiable in degree. For example, a lot of people feel there should be certain limits on abortion. For the muslim
vivianvixen
They're wrong, imvso.
a1a1b2
So there should be absolutely no limi on abortion whatsoever? How about third trimester without medical indication
vivianvixen
I honestly support post-natal abortion. Wrong person to argue with about 3rd trimesters. You'll have to pull me back from the 4th first.
mwahz
How do you limit abortions? Women should have the rights to their own body and their choices.
a1a1b2
the most common is term limits. Abortions after the fetus is viable are generally not permitted worldwide except in medical emergencies
a1a1b2
"viable" generally meaning around the 24 week mark, when a baby could be delivered and survive
a1a1b2
one, "a lot" is vague and negotiable. Like is 200 a lot? Are supporters who don't specifically commit the acts themselves terrorists?
vivianvixen
The statement in the OP is clearly being made through the context of a billion Muslims. Also, no. That's why we have definitions.
StarmanUltra
Exactly. It's not a lot when you talk percentage. But seeing as 1 is too many terrorists, I could see it as "a lot" in that sense.
a1a1b2
Also, there are better systems than "planned parenthood" in other countries, so the funding could potentially be better spent. Feminism is

Saying no to gun control is saying yes to school shootings
hihellobyeoh
Saying yes to gun banishment means the only people with guns are the shooters themselves. Fuck off and stop buying into political propaganda
ThisUsernameIsNoLongerAvailableIsStillNotEvenAvailable
That's such bullshit. You fucking moron. Gun control prevents ANYONE from obtaining firearms. Look at all the countries in the world (1)
ThisUsernameIsNoLongerAvailableIsStillNotEvenAvailable
with gun control like the UK. We don't ever have any gun whatsoever. NEVER. Your argument is demonstrably wrong. (2)
TheAvengingKnee
People who obtain them illegally would still have them. Normal people who just lose it and take there guns to school/work/public place 1/2
TheAvengingKnee
would have less access to them as they would have to attempt to get them illegally. I think more support for mental health care is better.
irontom
No it's not. I don't mean to offend you, but you are an idiot.
ThisUsernameIsNoLongerAvailableIsStillNotEvenAvailable
No, he's right. You're an idiot.
irontom
So, if I say I don't want gun control I am saying I want people to shoot kids in schools? It's really that simple in your head?
vivianvixen
Who said anything about no gun control?
