Ok. Now, that, that was funny.

As best I can tell, other way around. Russian Gov is a bit less corrupt than Ukrainian. Not that either one would win any prizes (Without bribes, of course.)

So. No problem with the theory, as stated. Yes, I do have issues with the imperfections of the implimentation. There are issues with the tech on a social level, things like women assuming "If I freeze my eggs, I can have kids at 35-40-50!", but the basic concept is fine. Note, I'm no...

No, why? It's got problems, but that's more about imperfections in the tech, rather than any problem with the concept.

There are logical arguments, one of which is because we don't know the future, and can't know the future, we can never know what cures will come, and we don't know who will change things for the best. As such, you should not kill a potential person, because they might be incredible. As for...

No, if he had no morals, he'd just lie whenever it was useful. Being seen as a monster is generally not good. Especialy if you are a monster.

Yup. Either you work from "Human life is Sacred/Paramount" or you don't. And, if you don't, you have to work out the cost/benefit analysis, and where the point is. At least he's honest.

...... There's a part of me that wants to respond with "So, if you call somebody a big baby, is that a death threat from you?"

Well, @Zachowon, you were right in that I hadn't looked at the text of the statement itself. I've done that now. It tells me two things. 1) At best, the SecDef doesn't know what the federal laws on abortion are, and based on the dog whistle language, doesn't care. 2) He's the political...

Guys, let it go. The military is not under conventianal law, there are very big differences between the freedom of the civilian and those within. In the military, you must do some things. Must. It's not slavery, but it's much closer than you get outside, and that's part and parcel of being in...

The way this was said, the attitudes it showed, that, in many ways, is the biggest problem. I'm not sure millatary law has anything on abortion, and I'm told there's no general federal law covering it, so so far it's been on Roe Vs Wade, and that's gone. If the response was "We're now...

That's a public statement of support for one side of politics, as well as pretty blatently saying they'll mostly ignore a decision handed down by one of the arbiters of "federal law", otherwise known as the Supreme Court. That's unashamely political, Zach. It's picking a side, and it's pretty...

I'm pretty sure there's no Fed law covering abortion, and the Supreme Court is one of the last words on US Law. Sorry, @Zachowon, this one's seriously fucked up.

That's a "Holy Shit" moment.

In both China, under the One Child Policy, there were quite a few cases where they made sure the only kid they had was a boy, for cultural reasons, as well as the way that a boy is more useful around the farm, in the vast majority of times. This, I'm told, was true even in backwater rural...

I'll ask the question again. Why is it that there can be black supremists, hispanic supremists, and asian supremists, but white supremists are to be hunted down? Rules for Thee, but Not for Me, I guess. (You know, I wouldn't bother with any of this, if I didn't feel that imbalance. If all...

I don't really see a "broader" movement. There's a bunch of comentaitiors, and a lot of, I'll call them, base, but there's barely any elite that could really be called Right. Frankly, Trump did some things I like, but I'm not pretending he's all that Right, and he's about it, outside of perhaps...

Because they're the core of the anti-abortion movement? They care. You don't, ok. Leave it to them.
