    Your opinion on feminism?

    My issue with this is that you can't really call feminism a movement in the same way you can call BLM one, given that "feminism" is an ideology rather than a singular collective of people who share an idea. I take similar issue with the idea of "lgbt movements" being boiled down to a single...

    The EU Federation

    I think the issue with federalisation is more how it should be done than "should it be done". Federalisation is pretty much just the next step up from the EU's current standing and federalising would certainly streamline and smooth out a lot of problems the EU has to deal with right now, but...

    Compromise

    I think compromise is a nice idea but often a trap? I mean, look at Obamacare/The ACA, the Obama administration took great pains to compromise with the GOP (To the point of hamstringing the ACA and letting the gop internally sabotage it) and once it passed they immediately cried out and spent...

    We've done this too many times now

    This is an incredibly intellectually dishonest argument that does exactly what you're railing against. "Criminals will always do crime" is true, but the idea that no matter what criminals will always be able to get the same amount of guns with the same amount of ease is just a fantasy with no...

    We've done this too many times now

    Oh, New Hampshire is actually a pretty interesting case now that i'm reading into it. Despite relatively lax gun laws, it's almost completely surrounded by states with stronger gun laws in an inverse of the normal situation. It's gun crime is proportional to it's status with lower crime than...

    We've done this too many times now

    The cognitive dissonance required to claim anti-gun sites are biased and liars, while pro-gun sites aren't, is genuinely mindboggling and should kind of be a big red flag there Attacking the source isn't bad debating? It should kind of be the cornerstone of debate, given that if your source is...

    We've done this too many times now

    LDSMan i think you really need to work on figuring out what a reliable source is, linking fox news and a ton of fairly untrustworthy vocally pro-gun sites isn't really helpful and shows you're kind of caught in a static echo chamber there with your researching abilities. You've done it in a lot...

    We've done this too many times now

    However 80% of guns used in mass shootings are obtained legally I think a very important factor to take into account is that all guns start out legal. Guns don't come into existence as illegal items. Better laws and enforcement around the buying and selling of guns (especially at gun shows)...

    USA Gymnastics/Michigan State University sex abuse scandal

    I just don't really think there's a lot to discuss about it? It's awful and another example of the poor culture around sexual assault in universities (in wider society too, I suppose) but he's been arrested and charged, while the people that aided him are being investigated and likely to be...

    Filibuster on Measure to Ban Abortion After 20 Weeks of Pregnancy

    I feel like this is kind of a strawman anyway, maybe somewhere out there a woman has "bragged" about having an abortion (Which implies a sense of accomplishment and proudness about it, which just doesn't really make sense) but unless you can point to any actual substantial movement of women...

    NM to Become First State to Require Students Apply to College

    It arbitrarily puts a large amount of financial and mental stress on graduating students and is pretty much just a stop-gap rather than actually addressing the reasons New Mexico has a comparatively uneducated workforce

    The Logan Paul / Suicide Forest debacle

    His grand comeback tour is tasering dead rats and killing fish, so obviously he's learnt his lesson

    Filibuster on Measure to Ban Abortion After 20 Weeks of Pregnancy

    What's not definitive? That being born in the 22nd week is a death sentence? Because you're right, there's a very small chance of survival that comes with a high risk of significant disability. The context in which a baby born at 22 weeks is able to survive is because fertilisation/gestation...

    Filibuster on Measure to Ban Abortion After 20 Weeks of Pregnancy

    I don't really know why you put emphasis on the name of the Charlotte Lozier Institute since it's an anti-abortion organisation and not at all a peer reviewed science journal. Those aren't even all studies, and a lot of what's said on that page either isn't fully true, being misinterpreted, or...

    Filibuster on Measure to Ban Abortion After 20 Weeks of Pregnancy

    Because, as i outlined, the cutoff coincides at the exact point that it becomes possible to check for major health risks and severe fetal anomalies. Those don't necessarily put the woman's life at risk, nor does being forced to carry a fetus that has no chance of survival up until the point it...
