For me, it was I Think You Should Leave’s new season that got me to sign up for a month to binge that repeatedly. After we finish the documentary on Homo naledi we’ve been watching, we’ll cancel Netflix and start Max for a month so we can watch the new season of Righteous Gemstones.
Yeah, I’m not sure if people thought you agreed with the state…? I guess we generally see “As a Christian, I <insert terrible opinion here>”, so assumptions of that sort are likely, but I’m not sure. I try to do my part to show that we’re not all the Westboro Baptist type, too.
There will be people browsing the comments who read the article, left feeling angry and powerless. Then you reveal yourself as someone who ascribes to what they see as ‘enemy’, downvoting you is a way to exert some (small) sense of power. Try not to take it personally.
So she’s 18 and has a 3 year old. I ain’t no mathmagician, but that tells me she was knocked-up at 15.
Seems to me that if she had simply gotten an abortion like she should have at 15 she wouldn’t have ruined her life now.
But then again, this is Florida, so they ain’t too good at thinking down in America’s wang, and with her last name and living in Miami, I wouldn’t be too surprised if she was Cuban. Cubans tend to be rather conservative and conservatives tend to be anti abortion. So you done fucked up your life over some stupid ass shit.
Murdering a born child is way worse than aborting a lump of cells. Also, she could've saved the 3000 bucks and hand the kid over to the state. At least that way it might've had a chance at something, unlike his dumbass mother.
It’s Florida. What chance does that kid have? Their foster care system is a joke. Between child trafficking, number of missing (AND unreported) children, overcrowding, children being placed in the care of convicts, I don’t know how that could be better. I don’t know many states that could rank worse than Florida when it comes to child care.
The foster system in the US is pretty shit as a whole, but Florida is going the extra mile.
This is something I’m wanting to bring up in our next union negotiations. Anyone working in the heat needs this ironed out before the next few years, as summers just keep getting worse. It’s ridiculous there aren’t laws for this yet.
yep, they don’t mention, because now it isn’t an excuse or she die, or she going arrested, and the news don’t provide enough information anyway, just look at the news about mothers goibg sick because can’t get health care
Yeah, I’ve been wondering if that’s a possible reason she did it: one day the fetus stopped moving and she panicked. Knowing that women have died/almost died because doctors were scared to remove the dead fetus.
Burning books always reminds of the big book burnings the nazis organized in germany. Burning books seems wrong to me in general and burning a specific book just to provoke violent outrage of a certain group seems especially vile to me.
What you are doing is the equivalent of pointing fingers and whimpering. This is not a schoolyard, so please refrain from arguing on that level. The people who stormed the embassy were obviously a violent mob of religious fanatics - I assumed that to be trivial and not necessary to mention because it should be obvious.
What I was doing with that question was trying to ascertain whether you were just making excuses for religious extremists or trying to add more to the conversation. Maybe ask clarifying questions before assuming I’m “schoolyard arguing.”
I am happy to see that you agree that storming an embassy is bad. Seriously because it is NOT obvious by what I replied to.
I read a few of your replies and I think I understand your point of view better. I think just in general we should NOT act in a manner that would be considered offensive to another group just to be (for lack of a better work) a dick. The sad thing is, we already don’t live in that world and this refugee that burned the Quran might have been burning it as a “dick move” or maybe he was burning it because he has a very real and hurtful story of how he became a refugee from Iraq. People burn things (small idols, books, or letters) as ceremonies of release depending on where they are coming from or their culture.
I can tell you I am biased toward any religion trying to tell me how to act. If I want to burn every holy book that I buy/own then I should be able to. Pushing your beliefs on others is wrong. Me burning a book doesn’t effect you unless you decide that it does. You forcing your religious laws on me does actually effect me even if I don’t believe in your religion. What happens if I’m eating an unclean food infront of some extremist religious person? Do you think I’m trying to be offensive because I’m eating pork in public?
I’m not trying to schoolyard argue with you, but I think giving up some acts of freedom of speech to religious extremists is a bad path to follow. Appeasement doesn’t work with extremists because they always push for more.
I don’t think most Muslim are extremists. I do think many of these countries have parts of, if not all of their country run by extremists. That’s why I think it’s worth noting. We shouldn’t push people to violent acts, but one could argue that the refugee himself was pushed to this “violent act” by the extremists in his home country.

its not obvious whether they agree that storming an embassy is bad because they didnt say anything about the matter

this does not sound like you think we should NOT act in a manner that would be considered offensive to another group just to be a dick
it sounds like making excuses, especially for someone complaining about folks making excuses

someone commenting that burning books to provoke violent outrage is vile falls under none of the above
What happens if I’m eating an unclean food infront of some extremist religious person? Do you think I’m trying to be offensive because I’m eating pork in public?
we arent talking about eating unclean food in front of some extremist person, equating the two is disingenuous
I’m not trying to schoolyard argue with you,
uhuh

the man in sweden was not pushed to burn a book because of the political climate in another country a continent away
I think there is a lot of misunderstanding in this. I will not try to explain everything, because I feel I’m not using the correct words to explain my thoughts.
I will reply to

I was mentioning this example in order to try to explain how appeasement doesn’t work with extremists. If burning a book is so offensive that they have a call to arms then I am against them. I don’t care what book. It’s all paper.

Oh cool. I just assumed that the political climate of his country of origin had something to do with why he was a refugee, but I guess not?
I’m not familiar with all the details of why he was granted refugee status. I just agreed with him on principle. I’m not an edgelord, and I respect everyone’s religion in practice. Which is why I am attempting to advocate for his personal creed. Religion is personal and I respect it until someone tries to push their religious laws on someone else.
These babies were going to die anyway. Either with a medically safe abortion or through a complicated and risky pregnancy that also risks the mother's life.
There is plenty of evidence saying that working outdoors at specific temperatures and humidity is extremely harmful and dangerous, but no legal obligation for employers to provide more rest/water breaks and shade the hotter it gets.
We have a construction crew next door everyday building a new warehouse and I’m happy to see that they call it quits on days the temp spikes up past 100. There is zero shade around here mid day, and they’re basically working out in the middle of a huge concrete slab currently. Most of the time they start early and end early with the exception of a few guys hanging around to unload flatbed with incoming materials. Very rare, but it seems a few firms out there do care about their employees well being.
