The weird creepy uncle of anarchism.  then a minimum wage is unnecessary, because the rulers/exploiters have been eliminated or expropriated back into the masses, and a humane standard of living for all has been established in place of a wage system.If they're advocating for the removal of the minimum wage without all the rest of that, then yeah, probably an-caps.

Dr. Arbitrary posted:Imagine you're taking a tour of a hospital on the ground floor. In one room you're shown a maternity ward with dozens of cribs, each with a newborn infant. Of the refrigerator full of embryos, only 100 of them, selected at random, will eventually become born as babies. Of the 500 original embryos there are two that will become (non-mass) murderers, one that will become a brilliant surgeon, and one that will invent hundreds of those annoying ethics thought experiments involving runaway train cars.

Mister Bates posted:Forced conversion, immigration, and outright genocide. The oft-used phrase 'kill them all and let God sort them out' is usually attributed to a general working for the Papacy during the extermination of the Cathars. The Catholic armies had captured a city filled with Cathar refugees and couldn't tell which were good Christians and which were filthy Cathar heretics; the general told them 'kill them all; God will recognize his own.' People were burned to death, eviscerated, tied to stakes and used as live target practice for archery training, women were raped to death...and that's how they treated other Christians, who had just picked the wrong 'kind' of Christianity to follow. 'Believe what we tell you to or we'll have you exterminated' doesn't sound the least bit voluntary to me.

VideoTapir posted:That contains a false quotation, too. Search Google Books for it and you'll find it explodes around 2005, with no instances in the 19th or even 20th centuries. False founding father "quotes" have become really popular since ~2000. I see any founding father quote in any conservative context, I check it; they're usually completely fabricated, sometimes misquoted or misattributed.

Taaaaaaarb! posted:The mental gymnastics of anti-choicers in the effort to hide their disdain for women and impose their will on them is impressive to say the least. I also have not heard a good answer for that one, especially when you bring up the unfortunate (for them) reality of miscarriages - how do you tell the difference between an abortion or a miscarriage? What if the woman doesn't know she was pregnant and miscarries? Is it her fault? Murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, and negligent homicide are already well defined in most legal systems. One could say if the woman doesn't know she was pregnant and miscarries, if the miscarriage was due to behavior likely to induce a miscarriage then there is a case for negligent homicide. On the other hand if the fetus poses a risk to the woman's health then it could be considered justifiable homicide. The sidestepping of all these really just shows that either they don't consider fetuses to actually have full personhood. e: Or in the case of automatic "jail for murder" without nuance consider them to have some magical personhood more than the woman.

Ashcans posted:The fact that Yellow doesn't even know how many people were on the Jury makes me think that they didn't actually pay very much attention to the process. I mean, I don't expect people to have sat through all the testimony the way that D&D did, the six-person jury was notable to most people paying attention because everyone assumes its always twelve. They're at least right about not guilty being very different from innocent though, which is always important to bear in mind. It seems after too many high profile/celebrity rape cases with a not guilty verdict I hear some lovely opinions from people saying "the court proved that the person accused didn't do it, therefore the accuser must be lying, they should be charged with perjury"  .

Taaaaaaarb! posted:Do you have any evidence to back up those assertions? The Gros Michels ended up being replaced by the Cavendish as the main banana of cultivation in the 1950s, and there are signs that Panama disease may be spreading to them too. Genetic Modification can provide inbuilt disease resistance, but if this is breached then there is no variation to fall back on, unless GM is combined with other forms of crossbreeding.

Taaaaaaarb! posted:There is a problem with this example - yes, it is technically a genetically modified crop, but not one that has been manipulated at the chromosomal level. Even more, these and arguably drat near all other crops raised by humans are not examples of transgenic crops that get people freaked out about GMO's. Further, you even point out how GM can benefit this particular crop. Monsanto has promised not to use sterility inducing modifications (whether you believe that or not), but they do discourage farmers from planting the offspring of GMOs, and encourage them to buy their seeds from a single source. This has the effect of making them as much a genetic monoculture as the bananas. It's a case of not putting all your eggs in one genetic basket, not a case of holy poo poo genetic modification.

Taaaaaaarb! posted:Alright, any evidence of the use or sale of terminator seeds? Because last I heard, they never made it to market. Also, what's the difference between signing a contract to purchase your seeds exclusively from one provider versus Monsanto? This sounds more like a case against the corporatization of food rather than transgenic crops. My original banana example was why monoculture can have bad consequences, no matter where it comes from, not that specifically transgenic monoculture is bad. The level of genetic variation in a single seed supplier may be low, but it is higher than in a cloned plant cultivar such as bananas, or in a transgenic seed cultivar that has its origins in a very small batch size. e: And yes, corporatization of food sourcing and production is responsible for a fair few of these practices.

Although apparently people will believe either.  Jews gathering around excitedly to pierce communion wafers. (Got a crazy forwarded political woodcut from your family?)
