uhm excuse me. when was sex ever a "sacred way to profess your love"?? now, i don't know if you've ever picked up a real history book, but that has never been what sex is to 99% of people. Prior to civilization we were by definition animals and fucked appropriately. prostitution was one of the first professions and has only sort-of gone away in the last 50 years, making it one of (if not the) longest-running professions. prostitution and interation with its practitioners also only became stigmatized within the last couple hundred years. in some places like japan, some prostitutes even were very highly regarded within the society. so if anything, this idea of sex being a "sacred way to profess your love" is a primarily judeo-christian construct that wasn't even taken seriously by anyone until the past few hundred years.
also, if you don't think sex is for pleasure, you're either a virgin and don't get what you're missing, or you've had really bad sex.
I'm rather offended by this, as an agnostic atheist who has read multiple versions of the Bible and learned arabic primarily to be able to read the Qu'ran in it's native language, to avoid bias (amazing language, by the way). I have also read multiple translations of the Torah. I have also read "On the Origin of Species" and Darwin's other books, as well as many others. Personally, I've come to the conclusion people spend too much time fighting, arguing, and worrying about abstract concepts that are all just guesses anyway, instead of focusing on true problems such as poverty, which almost all religions agree is bad.
you do realize your "internet provider" is the company you pay for internet service (for example, verizon). This is a discussion about programs for accessing the internet. They are completely different things.
there are so many things wrong with what you just said i'm not even going to try to show why you're wrong. Your obviously a lost cause. go back to watching fox, sorry for challenging your ignorant and inorrect world view.
The single biggest reason abortion should be promoted rather than demonized is this: i don't know if you've been under a rock or something, but the earth has something of a population issue. if someone doesnt want a baby, we should be thanking them for getting an abortion instead of adding to this problem, as this would leave more room for wanted (and therefor more likely to be raised well and grow up to be a contributing member of society) babies.
"humans have evolved to value life"
really?
REALLY?
That's going somewhere near the top of my "most naive things ever said" list.
Humans havn't evolved to value any life but their own, and for some rare gems a few people around them.
if humans had evolved to value life, murder, theft, etc. would be exceeding rare since they directly or indirectly kill people. drunk driving wouldn't happen.
There's also this funny little thing we tend to downplay these days and pretend doesn't exist. We call it war. and war of some form has been the single most universal soial ation since humanoids have lived in groups (which, btw, has been always)
this is not currently possible, are you stupid? If we could target specific types of cells in specific areas of the body with genetic alterations, hair color would definitely not be at the top of the list.
brass knuckles are like switchblades in that you reallycant construe them to be more useful than a different option except for hurting people. With brass knuckles even more than switchblades, they are really only usable by the agressor.
No, it's not sexist. Unless of course biology is sexist. You will never find a guy who agrees with you who has the biological ability to make babbies because the moment they can that's their only true goal in life. Why shouldn't they act on them? The single biggest purpose in life is pursuit of happiness, and our bodies are hardwired for sexual stimulation to be one of the most positive feelings possible. Are you saying they should be unhappy to fit (hypocritical) societal norms? And here's my user, i tend to avoid showing it during discussions of controversial topics so i don't get angry messages, etc. for having an opposing viewpoint.
