It's referencing a paywalled Haaretz article.
How can you be so cold blooded as to call the starvation of 2.3 million people a "wedge issue"?
There was recently a story about a woman in Ohio who left her baby in a pack 'n play while she went on vacation for two weeks. She returned to find the baby dead from starvation and dehydration. I imagine my own baby wailing with hunger for days on end.
This is what Israel is deliberately subjecting tens of thousands of children to while Biden continues to give them weapons and diplomatic cover. This isn't a wedge issue. This isn't a talking point. This isn't a bargaining chip. As long as we are on the wrong side of this issue, we are "the axis of evil" in the world. We are irredeemable.
It makes me all warm and fuzzy to see people have respectful disagreements!
Thank you for saying so! I have to admit that my comment is almost adressed to myself as much as to you. I was raised with all the sexual hang ups of conservative Christianity. The idea of my daughter growing up and choosing to do sex work certainly makes me uncomfortable. But I also would like my daughter to be unashamed of her sexuality when she grows up, and I wouldn't want her to be judged no matter how she chooses to express herself. I also believe sex work can be an incredibly compassionate form of labor, providing human connection to people starved of affection.
On the other hand, I do have some reservations about sex work, particularly when it comes to outright prostitution. Can someone have sex with so many people and still maintain the ability to have a full, healthy relationship with a partner? What are the consequences for social stability of making it so easy for men to cheat on their partners?
How is doing sex work being a bad role model?
Interesting. I don't think the UK has many tornadoes.
An interview isn't meant to be factual like a news report. The whole point is to hear someone's perspective. Friedman's project is to expose his listeners to a broad spectrum of views. That's an honorable goal.
I'm not quibbling. Bernie is supporting a man committing genocide. Oh, Trump is advocating for genocide? Why should I give a hoot whether Biden says he likes genocide while he gives Israel the bombs they are using in the genocide. Words mean nothing if your actions contradict them. Biden's duplicity is no virtue. At least Trump has the spine to own his crimes. Biden kills babies while crying crocodile tears, and Bernie is his apologist. Shame on them all.
You know what won't end the genocide? Wringing our hands while we vote for the politicians carrying it out.
Hey now! Biden is complaining while he supports the genocide with weapons. What more do you want?
Because Lemmy wants Biden to be re-elected so bad they want us to ignore his genocide
The UC is a government entity. That's not the end of the story, but...
