DO YOU EVEN BOTHER??? The hypocrisy is choking me x,D
Not wanting to offend people with bad or ignorant statements? Asshats like Trump is the reason why political correctness to a degree is important. Why would you want to say something wrong and ignorant?
So you're okay with a murder of a normal human, but you don't like the idea of a potential normal human being murdered? Refugee children can also be very smart, and they're likely to be smart and work hard because of what they experienced, and they can do great things. I think Steve Jobs is one example of a refugee kid who was smart and did great things.
The problem is you're assuming people are. The reality is there's no point in assuming either, since abortion is protected due to the privacy laws in this country. If someone did happen to use abortion as birth control and nothing else, that's still their choice. But I would like to think that most of the people having them aren't taking the decision lightly. Nobody should, whether you're for it or against it.
The example here...Obama choosing to not say what he said about Islam being peaceful wouldn't be a bad or ignorant statement. The reality is, a lot of what Trump says is just objectively false. This is what I meant when I said the Right uses the the term PC as a euphemism to say ignorant or incorrect things.
Did I? Pretty sure that's not what I said. I'm talking about religion specifically, not all of the followers of said religion.
My point is, why would Obama ever need to comment on them and be forced to be "politically correct"? There's nothing controversial going on there, your analogy doesn't really work.
Is it really better than saying nothing at all? He would have said plenty even if he left that notion out. I don't think any Muslim would have felt less supported either. The guy made a point to go to a mosque to give a speech in support of the Muslim community in the US. Either way, people generally look for acceptance within their religious communities, why would they care about whether an outsider thought it was peaceful or not, unless they were open to doubting their own beliefs in the first place?
Killing other humans using the law seems wrong as a way of punishment as there is no way to make the death of the killer equivalent to the death and harm placed on others they harmed, solitary confinement or some other means of making them endure lasting guilty, pain, and reflection for their wrong is a better punishment than a loss of their own life.
Are they likely too? There is no benefit to the country that they go to that they would be smart and work hard their. Coming here they would have to start at square one to learn english, then would they even be here long enough to advance through the ranks of grade school to eventually go to college? Lastly, they would then just take their skills back to their home country. There is no benefit, additionally we have seen where terrorists come to American schools, take up engineering, then launch into these terrorist plots on our and other soil. They simply can't be trusted. Refugees have more reasons to be terrorirsts, theyll just be bitter about being kicked out of their country, relocated to another country, and spawn harmful and hateful language towards the ones who were responsible for the problems in their country, civil wars and other issues will ensure. A truly smart and hard working refugee would be better to stay in their home country and work towards prospering their. It will show their ingenuity, resourcefulness, and ensure their children are growing up in an environment filled with their culture and heritage.
Your statement doesnt make sense. Accidental pregnancy is a bad life decision, that just means someone skipped out on their birth control or any other form of safe sex planning (they didnt even need to have sex in the first place). Rape sounds like a bad life decision to me, Ive never seen a situation in which one would put rape in a good life decision.
This is false, if that was the case then minorities and people of poor upbringing wouldnt be in many leadership positions today, or have contributing many great things to society in the humanities and sciences.
Even in the cases of mass murder and/or terrorism? I think even Clinton has said she second-guesses being against it in those cases.

Well, there's the issue of turning them into martyrs, sure. But not every mass murderer or terrorist has this motivation. Someone like Timothy McVeigh didn't, as he wasn't a jihadist. One of the general arguments for the death penalty is that keeping someone in prison for the rest of their life costs great deal more than executing them. But of course, no one really spends a short amount of time in prison on death row either, so it still costs a lot.
Money would be saved by just reserving those spaces for more of these type of people and keeping lesser crimes in local and regional jails. Though I think crime would be expected to grow as the population grows unless we allow more surveillance in our lives. But more than that, do they really think cutting costs to maxSecPri would actually put a dent in our debt?
But crimes that result in the death penalty aren't always federal ones. Most states have death penalty statutes, but many don't. The difference might not be huge, but it still costs money to house and feed people.
Actually the trials to actually put someone on death penalty are so long and expensive that it's cheaper to keep them locked up for good.
I generally see complaints about PC as dislike of not being able to say racist or stupid shit, tbh. I think you disagreed with that earlier, but it's hard not to see it otherwise thanks to people like Trump. It's why I don't mind Obama or anyone else bein PC to an extent.
Um, I'm sure the US benefited from Steve Jobs co-founding Apple, making Pixar a quality company, and creating the iPhone. So yeah, there is and are benefits to the country that the refugee children would go. Assuming they don't know English is dumb, especially when babies have to learn English as well, along with everything in life. At least refugee children have a headstart.
No it's not. Accidental pregnancy is not a bad life decision, and it can happen to a married couple. Have you taken sex ed? You definitely haven't taken sex ed at all, otherwise you'd know birth controls and safe sex planning are not 100% effective. Even vasectomy doesn't prevent pregnancy for sure. Claiming they didn't need to have sex in the first place is dumb.
What did you even expect? Trump always tried to bring abortion and gay marriage up as rarely as possible, and he said himself that he doesn't consider those to be big issues. He's already preparing for the general election by ironing out some things that'd make it hard for him to win. He's personally against gay marriage and abortion because of "religion" and personal experience, but the laws for these two are mostly set. I'd say he handled that issue really well.
Based on what? What he's said this election cycle? or what he's said for the majority of his public life?

Yeah I did, I definitely acknowledge that. My point in bringing this example up is that it does exist in the way that political correctness as a term was originally intended to mean, that's all. Has nothing to do with Trump or the Right or however they choose to bastardize the concept.
Yeah but it'd have to be rooted in some reality to be a valid comparison IMO. For us, there's nothing controversial about Canadians or Italians as a group. There's nothing that people feel needs to be addressed/discussed. Not that I'm aware of in present times anyways.
Go further in what way? So then you're okay with the President pandering if it's something you agree with or don't mind. Fair enough.
What does any sort of brotherhood have to do with anything? I don't know, just seems like the type of people that don't understand the nuance of the issue at all, and that him speaking on the police going too far in many cases is admonishing the police in general. I never took that from anything he's said though IIRC.
Yeah, how convenient how one's views just magically change when it's beneficial to them
The funny thing is that hillary is seen as untrustworthy for far less flip flopping than good old donald (as far as I can tell anyways). It really is incredible how invulnerable donald is to his own words...Yeah, how convenient how one's views just magically change when it's beneficial to them
Let's say..."people change"?Yeah, how convenient how one's views just magically change when it's beneficial to them
At least on abortion I remember him saying that a somewhat recent-ish personal experience changed his mind, so there's that.--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---
Would you say she's less untrustworthy than the Donald?
Prior bias has to do with both of those things. But she does the same shit as well IMO, just not as sloppily.
Yeah sure, I just have to put my own well-earned faith in him on that, right?Let's say..."people change"?
Oh please, trust is needed to support every and any candidate ever. It just happens that one needs a little bit more trust for him than what's the norm.Yeah sure, I just have to put my own well-earned faith in him on that, right?
This is yet another reason why this guy is nothing more than a professional bullshit artist. I get that it's appealing in some way and entertaining, but you can never take anything he says at face value.
