Why does consent matter in terms of morality? Is it acceptable to take drugs, because you consented to it. Is it acceptable to have a sword fight to the death if both parties consented to it? Consent matters jack shyte, in laws or morality.

Well, I would say that the lack of consent matters a very great deal to morality and laws...

Lack of Consent, yes, giving consent should not matter on a vast of majority of circumstances.

What does "unaffiliated" actually mean? Like, if you go to church at times but you're not a member of it yet you do self-ID as a certain denomination, are you considered to be unaffiliated?

Anyway, great to see quite some Congresspeople don't want to come out regarding their irreligiosity. It should not be normalized or promoted.

F**king disgusting.

Moderate heroism at its finest.

Ok, where do I go to donate money to Lynch? If there's anything I dislike more than the alt-right, it's social justice warriors.

For me - they are mirror images of each other. So - i equally dislike BOTH...

People who care about racial issues are JUST AS BAD as neo-Nazis!!!!!1

No. People who are unable able to listen , always think they are (and - only they) - right, and impose their point of view on other by ANY means (including slander) are as bad as neo-Nazis. I am color-blind, so i am absolutely for ALL possible rights for minorities, and as absolutely - against ANY privileges for them

Nothing wrong with opposing affirmative action, it is the morally correct position.

I happen to support affirmative action, but the reason I posted that there is because of the comparison of "SJWs" to neo-Nazis.

No. The only important part of atheism is the belief that God does not exist. Everything else is superfluous.

This is a fact. Consenting to something does not make it moral.

I don't see why that's a bad post in that context. It can certainly be disagreed with from a left- or right-libertarian perspective, but it's not a bad post.

Roll Eyes

Consent, or giving it, should not matter in terms of laws, just because you consent to it, should not make it legally right. Consent does not matter. Lack of consent makes such a already immoral, or even moral action be bad or even worse. Consent should definitely not define morality, just because you consented to it, does not make it morally acceptable.

Yes. However, stating your beliefs isn't a call to agree with them or evangelization. I have no problem with someone telling me they're a Jehovah's Witness. I do have a problem when they come to my home Sunday afternoon and ask me to stop donating blood.

One issue of course is getting to where my girlfriend lives, since that would require traveling through a Trump state and many Trump counties. So my plan is to only get gas and food in Hillary counties. That basically means stopping in Eau Claire, and then filling up in Dane County along the way. Rockford would be OK too, since in the end Winnebago County narrowly voted for Hillary. But I'm not going to get out and set foot in any of the Trump counties that exist between Hennepin County and Lake County, IL. Ideally I could just boycott Wisconsin altogether but alas that wretched place has to be stuck between us.

This has however convinced me that everyone's hatred of the Green Bay Packers is 100% justified.

I agree, especially since people like Scarlet are really hijacking this thread. But then again, what would one expect from a thread like this? This was always going to end badly.

This post makes me wish Trump won Minnesota. It was only about 1.5% difference.

Democrats are supposed to pretend to not be total pawns of Wall Street. So Bain Capital directors are bad running mates.

I think this definitely qualifies as God tier for the "funny post" thread, although arguably it might fit the definition of absurd for a place on this thread, although the way the post was written it definitely seems a bit tongue in cheek....

Context (bolded the part that makes this a terrible post):

Nothing will happen, His supporters are too deluded.

The men will only look up to him more for his tremendous womanizing skills. Plus, he's so rich that he can soak Obama hotel beds in urine and pay off the help the next day!

It was a joke in reference to him having a posse of women in his hotel room doing his bidding. In retrospect, its not as amusing to me with his other criminal antics considered. I'll modify to make that clear.
