This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Decriminalize Sex
Really? So you think a boss should be allowed to include "Sucking the boss's dick whenever he wants" in a secretary job description, and then it's all good, as long as he dotted the I's and crossed the T's on the proper HR documentation? Then you don't believe in sexual harassment laws. Because... -
Decriminalize Sex
I would have responded to whatever you added to your post after the fact, if you had just asked me to, instead of lying and accusing me of deleting something which you know perfectly well you added after your original post. I guess we'll never know now. -
Woman Who Spent Majority of Life in US to Be Deported
The government should give her a student visa to allow her to stay in the country. And assuming she graduates, they should give her a green card. For that matter, they should give green cards to almost everyone who graduates from a US university with a bachelor's degree in a non-useless subject.- Gatsby

Woman Who Spent Majority of Life in US to Be Deported
It says she's "withdrawing her asylum petition." If that's the case then it's not really up to her how long it takes to get her papers in order, it's up to the US government.- Gatsby

"I'm Tired Of Being Trans" - Minneapolis Shooter Confesses "I Wish I Never Brain-Washed Myself"
Adults can still mutilate their penises if they really want to, they just have to wait one year longer than they did before. Let's remember that you have to be 21 to buy beer or cigarettes. Mutilating one's penis is a bit more extreme than that.- Gatsby

Decriminalize Sex
Because then it ceases to be consensual sex. The prostitute does not want to be there. And if she does, then they can do it for free and everyone is happy and there's no legal problem. You drift in and out of this "Sex is just like any other service" position constantly, depending on what... -
Decriminalize Sex
You added that part of your post after the fact. Which would normally be fine as I'm not one to nitpick such things if people want to edit or add to their posts...except you *know* you added it after the fact and now you're accusing me of "deleting the examples" which weren't in your post at the... -
"I'm Tired Of Being Trans" - Minneapolis Shooter Confesses "I Wish I Never Brain-Washed Myself"
I don't think anyone is claiming that this guy killed those kids for some big political crusade for trans rights or whatever. I think the point is that the trans movement tends to attract mentally disturbed individuals like this guy, amplify their delusions and toxic behavior, and then leave...- Gatsby

"I'm Tired Of Being Trans" - Minneapolis Shooter Confesses "I Wish I Never Brain-Washed Myself"
The first three things, and maybe the fourth, are associated with being transgender though.- Gatsby

"I'm Tired Of Being Trans" - Minneapolis Shooter Confesses "I Wish I Never Brain-Washed Myself"
But this person *was* treated exactly as you described...with him "transitioning" to a woman and people affirming his delusion that he was a woman, but (as far as we know) no actual bodily mutilation. How did that work out for him?- Gatsby

Decriminalize Sex
I think if someone offered a prostitute a new job mopping floors, they should be commended for helping her escape a terrible situation. And I think if someone told his janitor to suck his dick, he's a disgusting creep who should be fired for sexual harassment. Prostitution does not usually... -
Decriminalize Sex
What? Being raped (or something close to it) describes most of a prostitute's encounters. The men who pay for sex should be punished much more severely than they usually are. I have no idea where you got the impression I thought anything remotely like that? -
Decriminalize Sex
The part where someone has sex with a desperate person in exchange for money. I just find it baffling that anyone can suggest with a straight face that a prostitute has more power with her customer, than a secretary does with her boss. Let's go through both possibilities. Let's say it was... -
Decriminalize Sex
Again, I don't see how one can reconcile "Buying sex from a prostitute is no different from buying a hammer at the hardware store" with "We need sexual harassment laws so that the hardware store employees don't have to act like prostitutes." -
Decriminalize Sex
A prostitute is one of the most powerless jobs available. The parties are not equal. The secretary and her boss are on much more equal footing than a prostitute and her customer. Then why do we need any sexual harassment laws? If I can require my secretary to answer the phone and add a new...
