Gambling at 50% "not a moral issue" is crazy
How about all of it is none of your fucking business?
Half of these explicitly affect multiple people.
The huge acceptance of growing babies in a lab for money is very disheartening
Eh. How is that any different from the thousand of goods and services parents will pay for for their children?
People want kids. Infertility treatments aren't morally wrong. And money is how we barter for goods and services.
And don't try the intellectually lazy cop out of "just adopt!"
How is it different? That's like saying what's the difference between selling babies or baby toys at Walmart? And additionally what does it matter if those babies were grown in artificial wombs or using AI-generated DNA or some other techno-dystopian horror?
No one is buying babies. JFC. You're insane. People have fertility problems and doctors help them with them. No different than if you broke your dick and couldn't fuck anyone, and a doc helped you out with your problem.
But sure, let's masturbate about gattaca instead.
There's a big difference between fixing something that's broken and finding a workaround that ignores how things are supposed to be done.
Designer babies. Soon they'll start doing plastic surgery on newborns. Fix that nose right away.
I've got issues with designer babies, but ivf is totally fine
Indeed. And as bad as designer babies are in the best of worlds, it's obviously going to be abused for population control or practitioners with an agenda.
this is what happens when you dismantle education. good job, conservatives. the collapse can't come fast enough.
When it's not working, it's working.
Thanks for sharing, now I really want to go cry. I hate this country.
It makes me so mad how much worse alcohol is than weed and yet people think weed is morally worse, fml
I always take the line of its the amount. Like I could have a few drinks once or twice a year, and some dude could smoke weed everyday. Which one is worse?
I have seen peoples lives destroyed by both alcohol and weed. It always comes down to how much of drug X are you using and how is it affecting your overall self, surroundings and circles.
Eh, I would argue weed doesn't destroy people's lives. Not to say it's helping but it's never the root cause. If they stopped smoking weed, their lives would probably get better, but again probably a lot of underlying issues that also need to be addressed.
Alcohol 100% the root cause of peoples fucked up lives. If they stopped drinking, most of their problems would disappear overnight (until the DTs hit...), and their lives would get better from that point.
Maybe I am an asshole, but that's how I see it and watching three wasted fucked heads get hauled off in cuffs (one because they swung on staff) from a concert this week isn't helping while I was standing their stoned out of my gourd laughing my ass off at them getting manhandled because of their own idiotic decisions. Then I went back to vibing out to metal, and ate a burger after.
Alcohol is literally the second worst substance we mass produce only behind petrochemicals.
I saw it first hand. Friend lost his wife and house to weed. Two other people in our circles had weed psychosis. Thankfully early intervention helped them recover. But we also know one person that went into it never recovered. And became a danger to those around him. Now he's in jail.
It happens with alcohol too, but not the everlasting schizo issues
Propaganda's a helluva drug.
Imprisoning, torturing, and killing animals = A-OK
2 consenting adults of the same gender having sex = whoa, too far!
The question was whether eating meat is morally wrong. That can be done without imprisoning and torturing animals. Those issues are intermingled and correlated, but not the same thing. The framing of the question has a big impact don't he answer.
Its completely absur that assisted suicide (35%) is almost the same as the death penalty (34%)
this the culture war bs conservatives are indoctrinated to be concerned with. notice how none of them even mentioning tax, public services, insurance , billionaires.
Some of these percentages are really depressing.
