Although he's a filthy Idealist that attributed more to the metaphysical than I would like, he's definitely correct about many things. The M/S Dialectic is just one example.
I covered Hegellian thought during my Marxist Theory class, and man am I glad we did that. I never appreciated Marx's Dialectical Materialism until I spent a month reading Hegel.

I didn' t get to Hegel until "Middle School." By that time I had stopped taking schooling seriously to my own detriment. I was literally bored to tears.
My legal guardian would not let the school system advance me to the local junior college. In my late 20s I found out that he had graduated from university at 16 with a double major and he always regretted not being a high school student. High School was the worst time of my life. If I live to have children I will never exacerbate their torture with deliberate scholastic retardation.
It's times like this that make me feel like I was the only person in the world who actually enjoyed high school.

Again, I don't feel comfortable having a 40 year old man confused about his sexuality in the same bathroom as little girls.
I wasn't denying the statistic, I was saying how the reason unemployment went down and the economy got better was because of WWII, not the New Deal. Unemployment actually rose and FDR had to come out with the second new deal after his court packing crisis. WWII is why employment went up, not the New Deal.
Regardless of what human nature is, that's how the economy and the marketplace function. It has no spin on it (neo-classical is a contradiction in itself by the way).
The automation of the workforce is largely due to minimum wage increases, causing businesses not being able to afford to keep as many workers. Also, the businesses won't "run out of money" because there's always a consumer.
What? When at all did I ever even give you the idea then men or fathers own women's bodies, and what does my faith have to do with it? You seriously believe that because of my faith, I would lack empathy for someone, let alone my own daughter, after being raped? That's really cruel.
No, I wouldn't support abortion, not because I want my daughter to suffer as you think, but because I don't find it humane to the baby. It's a horrible circumstance, yes, but that's still a human being, regardless if it's a "rape baby" in your words, the baby had no control over the circumstances.
Nice and easy for you though eh? Being the man, you were not the one to be raped or to be forced to carry to term an unwanted child. Would you seriously tell your daughter, even if she did not want the baby, to still have it? You want her to suffer that?

Oh jeez

Ah yes. Gender politics and abortion, subjects that we all know lead to rational and mellow debates.
To throw my hat into the ring, Dysphoria and Disorder are not synonimous things, and the brains of Transgender people are wired more like their perceived gender, which is very different from being "confused about your sexuality"
Source for my claims: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-there-something-unique-about-the-transgender-brain/
In addition, I'd have no problem with letting my prospective children go to same bathroom as a transgender 40-year old. I'd actually have more of an issue with them visting a catholic church, which is infamous for its covering up of child sex-scandals.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Exactly. A child is more likely to be molested in a church than in a bathroom.
Axeldonia
"It". The way you describe unborn children is disturbing, as if it's just a burden. If a woman was just raped, she should get a shot of estrogen immediately and birth control in order to stop a pregnancy so she doesn't have to. However, if there's already a baby, we're not gonna murder the baby because it's an unfortunate situation and a burden on the mother.
I don't get why you have to bring my gender into it, seeing how roughly half the women in the United States are also against abortion and feel the same way as I do. It's just a scapegoat that pro-choicers use because they don't have any real arguments, and because I'm a man you feel like my opinion isn't worth anything on this matter, which is bullshit. You said that I would call my daughter a "slut" and tell her that her body was owned by me; where you get that from is beyond me, and if your mind goes to those places at the moment someone has a differing opinion than you, I think you should seek psychiatric help. You even brought in my faith, as if that had to do with anything, when Catholic charities are #1 in the United States for donations, and I donate every Sunday as well as many other Catholics and Christians. Ironic how most of the pro-choice feminists are sexist themselves, using their gender for a political point and even condescend the other gender for their beliefs (even when half of women agree with me), and a lot of women actually trivialize rape by using arguments like this, instead of being horrified by it, they use it for a political argument when rape is actually just 1% of abortion cases.
Libiceland
Stop attacking him for his religion. You progressives go crazy when someone mentions muslims and terrorism
Magnatronia
If women are against abortion then they should not have one. And if you're against it, be against it. I don't see why your opinion should be made law. I'd say forcing a woman to carry an unwanted child is more cruel. As for seeking psychiatric help, you're the one who goes to a church every Sunday to sing to an invisible man in the sky. If anyone should be seeking help, it's you.
You may have empathy for raped women but clearly you don't have enough if you want them to carry unwanted children.
Axeldonia
Actually I hate Islam as much as I hate Christianity. Religion is a poison upon humanity, no matter what its kind.

Transgenders aren't confused. A man that feels and wants to be a girl is not being confused. At that point he is a she and should have the rights as women. But I digress. If it was up to me, I would do away with all gender roles and designated bathrooms. So agreeing to disagre.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia
>Stating something so well known about an organization that it has become a regular subject of parody in many different mediums
>STOP ATTACKING HIS RELIGION
Ever heard of something called freedom of speech? According to a few of you right wingers out there, that means I can say whatever the hell I want and should suffer no consequences whatsoever! While we're at it, let me just throw some of my most provocative beliefs out there:
Israel is literally an apartheid terror state
It's not stealing if you take from the rich
Right-Wing conservatives such as Nazis and Fascists should be jailed
White men are the scum of the earth
I'm pro-death in regards to abortion
People should be able to express their sexuality/gender any way they damn well want
Religion of all forms have caused more harm than good in this world.
I can just hear the reasoned debate that will arise from these opinions.
Being transgender is a mental health issue, there are 30x more likely to kill themselves EVEN WHEN they feel accepted by society. The only comparable statistic to that are Jews living under Nazi Germany.
The sex-scandals were horrifying to watch, especially as a Catholic myself. However, it's important to note that the Vatican has tried to stop them, ever since Pope St. John Paul II summoned all U.S cardinals in to Rome in 2005 when he first heard, and all the departments the Catholic Church has created in order to fight molestations. However, the issue is actually homosexuality in the priesthood, and the VAST majority of children were male, not female.
This just isn't true. 4% of Catholic Priests have been involved in sex crimes, while on average, the ratio of heterosexual to homosexual pedophiles is 1:11. For every 1 heterosexual pedophile, there's 11 homosexual pedophiles. So, no. 4% of the largest religion in the world actually isn't that large, comparing how 33% of Protestant clergymen admit to having sex with congregates. Take a look at how much sexual abuse happens in schools and other public facilities, or even the military, and compare it to the 4% of priests.
Oh, I see what you did there. Trying to say homosexuals are paedophiles. There's no such thing as a straight or gay paedophile. A paedophile is a paedophile, regardless of the gender of the child they are attracted to. The Catholic Church has covered up sexual abuse for decades. Of course it goes on in all spheres of life and in every institution but the Church certainly has form in protecting paedophiles.
Axeldonia
Ah, you realize the fallacy in your statement? You say that my opinion shouldn't be law while advocating the legalization of abortion, your opinion.
I think that supporting murder is more cruel than being uncomfortable for 9 months, yes. Oh yes, I'm sure that the billions of people on Earth that believe in a God (or gods) are just insane. Not like they've led to most innovations and research in the world.
Only 7% of every war in history was started by religion according to the War Encyclopedia. Religion is actually very beneficial, it provides a moral compass and a curiosity to the universe. Modern astronomy arose in the Arab world because they wanted to see all of God's creation.
Modern astronomy, modern generics, the big bang theory, the oldest universities in the world, and much more was all given to you by the Catholic Church.

The definiton of "accepted by society" is quite different between you and a transgender person. For you it's "I am a normal part of the group" while for transgender people it's more often than not "I don't get pelted by stones or insulted while in public very often, so there's that." In additon, I'd like some sources for your claims, as I was at least decent enough to provide mine. As for the vatican's campaign against child molestation, well...

Look, you are just trying to piss me off so I'm not answering. I partially agree on Israel, and on the gender thing. I am agnostic
Also, since we need some add ons to a legal code, would anyone be interested in creating an anti-harassment law with me?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
*pedophile.
And no, I was saying how there's actually more homosexual pedophiles than heterosexual ones, and this is evident in the Catholic Church. You literally said that "you're more likely to be abused in a church than a bathroom" and I provided statistics showing otherwise. Again, the Church has taken numerous action against pedophilia and has always condemned it.
Your moral compass states that gays are evil, that women should be forced to carry children even if raped and that anyone can go to heaven, including a child rapist, so long as they accept Jesus and repent. I'd say that religious moral compass is a tad skewed. But hey, it's a free country, and it's your right to believe in religious delusions should you choose it.
Gotta love how you equate pregnancy with being uncomfortable for 9 months. Och, the woman was only raped and the unborn baby inside her is a symbol of that horror, but she should have no control over her body because you think it's wrong to abort the child.
We're never going to agree on this so I say we go our separate ways.
I don't think you know what I'm talking about exactly, and I think you should look into those statistics more. Violence against transgenders really isn't that more apparent than other groups.
Your point on the sex scandal?
Gender literally means nothing. Being man doesn't make you anything more than having the sexual reproduction organisms of the male anatomy. Same for a woman. Doesnt matter how you reproduce, everybody is selfish and everyone can be ruthless. They can rape, be a paedoplhile, wage war ect. It doesnt matter how you contribute to reproduction.

Paedophilia. I'm not American.
What do you call a man who is married to a woman, and has regular sexual relations with her, but abuses boys? A bisexual paedophile? A homosexual one? A confused one.
The issue is not homosexuality. The issue is paedophilia. You just don't like gay people so want to smear us all with the "you're all kiddie fiddlers" card.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, The United Providences Of Perland
I'm an atheist. The point I was trying to make is that I wasn't even attacking his religion, I was just pointing out the well-known phenomenon of paedeophilia within the catholic church, which again, has become so well-know that it's often used for jokes regarding clergymen, wether it's based in fact or not.

Plus, 98% of sex sex offenders towards children are heterosexual e.e

Why are you people all cancerous. Either you're hating on gay and transgender people because you think they're pedophiles, or you say religion is a "poison". This is ridiculous. LGBT people have done nothing to deserve this level of discrimination, and religion in itself isn't to blame. It's extremists who use it as an excuse to commit acts of terror or to oppress segments of the population. How about you people get a life instead of using people or beliefs as scapegoats.

Post self-deleted by Libiceland.
Again you have declined to provide any form of sources to your claims, wich suggests to me that you're one of those stereotypical conservatives who hear statistics through media that follow your ideological compass and spout it out at people without thinking. As for my source for the sex scandal, I wanted to point out that if the third most senior member of the Vatican can get away with child abuse for a long time it doesn't seem to me like the Vaticans measures have been terribly effective.

The Vatican is full of child rapists but they've got the brass neck to tell gay people they're evil.
I mean, I wouldn't go to that level.. I honestly think the Pope is cool.

Ikr. But when my cousin Joe does it he's locked up in an institution and diagnosed with schizophrenia, pft.
I was saying that pedophilia is more common among homosexuals.
73% of homosexuals admit to having sex with minors.
In regards to religious people, I'd say that no, it's not just extremists. There are actual problems with religion as with most other organizations, in particular with their devouted following of books that, no matter if they where written by god or not, came a long time before them and often contains bigoted stuff from that era wich slows progress. There are passages in the bible about the keeping and selling of slaves, for example wich may or may not have caused some issues *Cough* American Civil war*Cough*
Nuremgard, Libiceland
Put it this way.
If I get up in the morning, put my hands over my cereal and pray to the spirit of Elvis, asking him to bestow my cereal with his presence, then I'd be considered a crazy person.
If I go to a church and eat the bread and wine which was blessed by a priest to make them into the body and blood of Christ, well I'm just a Catholic then.
Looking on the RMB saddens me. :(

That is, without a doubt, the most false thing I've seen uttered here.

Although homosexuals account for less than two percent of the population. they constitute about a third of child molesters.6 (6. K. Freund and R.I.

Also, K. Freund and R.I. Watson, "Pedophilia and Heterosexuality vs. Homosexuality," Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy 10 (Fall 1984): 197, cited in NARTH Fact Sheet. ) Further, as noted by the Encino, Calif.-based National Association for research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), "since homosexual pedophiles victimize far more children than do heterosexual pedophiles, it is estimated that approximately 80 percent or pedophile victims are boys who have been molested by adultmales.7 (7.

Timothy J. Dailey, PhD, Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Marriage and Family Studies of the Family Research Council, wrote in his 2004 article, "Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse":
"The circle of abuse is the tragic legacy of the attempts by homosexuals to legitimize having sex with boys... Individuals from the 1 to 3 percent of the population that is sexually attracted to the same sex are committing up to one-third of the sex crimes against children...
The evidence indicates that homosexual men molest boys at rates grossly disproportionate to the rates at which heterosexual men molest girls. To demonstrate this it is necessary to connect several statistics related to the problem of child sex abuse:
men are almost always the perpetrator;
up to one-third or more of the child sex abuse cases are committed against boys;
less than three percent of the population are homosexuals.
Thus, a tiny percentage of the population [homosexual men], commit one-third or more of the cases of child sexual molestation."
The fact that while just skimming through that article, I found enough far-right ties to kms shows it probably has bias.
