Opting Out Of Parenthood

True, but people on here are also pretty **** at making arguments, so that's to be expected.

My strategy is to give up before I even begin. Especially when it comes to putting in a good word for an underappreciated band.

Idk about that, but even so, logical reasoning is probably going to do a better job at that than tribalist drama, right? After all, Merit has told us many times that he's trying to save us.

Just hand in some random 1-week bans in 10 hours and they're likely to be warranted.

They're not even the same thing. Black power was about regaining agency that had been denied to black people for centuries. White power is just reactionary hatred. You're like the opposite of Chula but still Chula.

The word “agency” is becoming a red flag.

I was speaking primarily from interactions between other members and not mine personally, but I know you can't resist taking a jab at me so you do you I guess.

I still find it interesting how you call my opinions halfbaked despite you rarely engaging in the "arguments" I involve myself in. It's almost like you don't actually care about the substance of my positions and just want to jeer at me because you see me as your opposition. Seems pretty shallow-minded tbh.

I'll defend my positions as much as the next guy. I don't see you aiming the same criticism towards Frownland who will equally seize the opportunity to defend himself "to the death" as you call it.

Ehh, it's more of a both partners should have a say in what happens. I don't know if there is a solution other than an unethical way of doing it, in which case I'd opt for OH's position instead. It's kind of like fighting against racism. You can't just control people's thoughts or speech but let's not make it socially acceptable. Just as it shouldn't be socially acceptable, let alone encouraged, for one person to make a decision that drastically changed two people's lives.
