Society/Culture Andrew Thorburn - Controversial appointment as Essendon CEO. Broader discussion not for the AFL board..

I noticed that. I saw pictures of about 40 white males between 30 and 50 and 2 asian women.

Mosques seem to be filled with people with darker complexions. Does that offend you?

It's the dishonesty around the subject that I abhor. The vast majority of abortions are for convenience. That's a fact. Yet rape and incest or the life of the mother being at risk are constantly thrown up. These are very rare and extreme examples. This in itself tells me those who support it have a sense that they are on shaky ground focusing on the overwhelmingly most common reason for it. So other than rape, incest or a mum's life being in danger you oppose abortion? If not, why go to the outliers?

I'm fully supportive of women having an abortion for whatever reason they want. Its their body, if they don't want to have the baby in there, its their business. If you disagree, then find a way yourself to bring the foetus to term.

 

[gouki88]

Not sure I said child support. I said these type of issues…

What is this "type of issue"?

 

[TheCoach16]

That's total made up rubbish .

Post the source for your claim then? And what is your claim? 5 out of 8 male suicides are due to.. which issues?

How’s your math?…

 

[Sky]

It's surface level because sex education is pretty simple.

I don't know how else to explain how men can easily avoid the responsibility of children if they don't want it.

I hope you’re an old person because my generation is an irreparably emotionally damaged generation.

Fall under the same boat myself where I’d rather die alone than deal with other peoples shit just to protect my mental. How sad is that

 

[Dave]

I have read the bit where God kills the first born kids in the passover.

That seems pretty intense. God doesn't seem like a nice guy.
I think I like that satan bloke better.

A mate was raised a bible basher and told me once he hax to memorise it. Asked me how many people the devil kills in the bible. ****ed if I know I answered. He reckoned it was between 2 and 10 depending on how you interpreted it. God on the other hand kills everyone, twice.

Nice guy!!

It's not their body. It's the baby's body being removed and killed. As Chapelle says, that argument might be acceptable if it ran both ways. When the woman wants to abort he has no say but if she decides to keep it he is expected to financially support the child he may not want ! Can he say my wallet my choice! No. The government forces him to cough up. That is a blatant double standard.

Domie doesn't limit himself to homophobia. He's a Renaissance man of bigotry. Ask him about women actually having it better than men, or POC

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

How dare you presume to know what I think about my gay friends? Have you been interviewed on Joy FM by your good mate? I have.

But you defend homophobic churches?

So you want abortions available, for men that don't want kids?

Thats your solution?

I forgot that you think "I'm not a racist/homophobe, I have black/gay friends" is a good line

As opposed to people who use the word “woke” as a substitute for an argument.

Nope. Not a double standard. People are allowed to make medical decisions about their own body. As a man its the risk you take when you deposit sperm.

Better than yours apparently?

Family disruption or relationship problems 25.8%. that's not 5 in 8.

What point were you making again?

If we had Christian values and got married for life there wouldn't be suicides?

It's always those who think calling out racism or homophobia is meaningless who use the most vapid vernacular.

Women do have it better than men.

Don’t bother. I know, I know. “Misogynist, sexist, femalephobe”

Not necessarily - you are certainly an idiot though, if you believe that

You called me an anti-christian bigot for criticizing homophobia in religion. How is that bigoted.
If you want to insult people, make it based on fact.
If you want to defend the church spreading homophobic hate that's up to you.

It isn't a baby being removed. A foetus isn't viable until around 20 weeks. Any earlier than that and it can't survive without the host.

And late term abortions are extremely rare. Most abortions happen within the first 12 weeks.

What words are made up?
