Now that gets into Brave New World territory. They didn’t make it illegal (at least that I recall)… but it was a taboo to be part of a family. Some point in British society started using eugenics to create humans. Sexual promiscuity was expected among women (they hinted that monogamy was also taboo) but becoming a parent was no go.

EDIT: I wouldn’t recommend Brave New World. Huxley falls in line with contemporary beliefs about indigenous Americans that is downright racist today.

The mere idea that anyone has to perform a medical procedure on a pregnant woman relating to the pregnancy and hesitates, proves that the law is the issue.

Someone will undoubtedly try to get a bill passed somewhere that starts labeling any removal of a fetus from a woman as abortion when the medical community is telling you that is not the case. These anti-abortion supporters want woman to get pregnant and stay pregnant. They don’t care if you have medical complications that lead to death. To think they care is just a lost cause.

If you are British and live in the UK and condone anything Israel has done, you are part of the problem historically. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have allowed for Palestine to exist, but you contributed to this mess with the Balfour Declaration.

EDIT: I am blaming the UK government and those who support the actions which in turn support Israel in this conflict.

Legislators in California are introducing bills that would make that illegal.

This is the exact bullshit we could brand someone that follows Islamist ideology with.

The major difference: Islamist groups purposely (as I recall learning in a college level North American religions course taught me) twist actual Islamic ideology while the Christian Right just doesn’t understand the religious text they claim to follow.

EDIT: Going to Trump rallies could be equated as the Christian Right version of terrorist training camps.

EDIT 2: My point about describing someone who assassinated people as “religious”, will place a false connotation on a group. It either paints the killer as misguided or followers of that religious faith as bad people. This is what happened with 9/11.

Wow, this is exactly what someone who 1. doesn’t practice real Evangelical Christianity would say 2. would believe not having studied the most basic of United States history.

The separation of Church and State is exactly that. The Colonist came to North American because they didn’t like how the Church of England was being operated. In practice they might not have wanted other religious groups to have such freedom but if you try to take the Bill of Rights and Constitution at face value, then you as a person in the United States government have no reason to judge them for being a non-Christian. Much like how I much challenge you to prove you belong to a well regulated militia when you own a gun.

I’m sure we are wanting this for very different reasons.

I know FIFA is corrupt but does anyone not see how dangerous traveling to the United States currently is?

You linked the same article from the post.

I’m sure they looked at Indian government and figured since they routinely discriminate the Muslim population he was in the clear.

Might as well blame the British for this fuck fest. They started this.

Harvard is still 100% in the wrong here. Treating all speech critical of the Israeli state as antisemitism is not the same as hatred for the Jewish people.

Like I said, just 1%. I should have said it wouldn’t be good if CPB grants stopped coming. I’m just more upset that the direct line of attack misunderstands what is really happening. These organizations are very important. To blatantly say Congress funds them isn’t just incorrect but potentially harmful to how other organizations that rely on outside money are treated.

Off the top of my head I don’t know if PBS (likely the same as NPR) but NPR is not funded by fucking Congress!!! You fucking idiots don’t know what Congress does or does not fund. NPR gets grants from CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) which was created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, which LBJ signed into law. CPB only accounts for 1% of NPR’s annual budget.

If the dumbass wants something legitimate to complain about, then complain about what CPB gives grants for.

EDIT: I realize the article mentions CPB, and I clearly wrote this before reading it. My point stands. Congress does not allocate any money directly to either NPR or PBS. If these cultural institutions are going to be attacked by clueless people, someone better be explaining what they got wrong.

If the policy is to combat antisemitism globally, then shouldn’t Musk be deported for supporting literal Neo-Nazi in Germany?

Outsider trading. Nothing was on the inside. He was out with all this.

Well I grew up having a crush on Moss from The West Wing but, no, not gonna watch it.

I saw my mom watching The Handmaids Tale today. It made me think, are we slowly transforming into Gilead?

FYI, I know Gilead is United States. I read the book.

I might be wrong, but the UK I believe has laws against the media talking about elections like the day before and day of polling.
