    I won't hear a single bad word against Meghan, she's doing great things like her edition of Vogue empowering women. Yep, Meghan, Michelle Obama...strong powerful women of colour that show little girls that anything is possible if you marry the right man.

    Melania - did you hear that? Hey - I should give her a break. The price she pays (or paid at one time) on her back is pretty damn steep. In fact, she almost lost the whole gambit on her wedding night with those fatal few words: "Is it in yet?" OK - now, time for a small hand (i.e., round of applause . . . what else could it mean?).

          No, the person you marry needs to be powerful.

                Joe Biden cited that the U.S. is responsible for only 15% of total global emissions and that even if the U.S. makes drastic changes in climate policy it is not going to do much in the grand scheme of things.

                I don't think this is ever a good argument. I'm a vegetarian, so let's say I save about 25 animals a year (some statistic I once read). Not a lot, you might say. Except that millions of people are vegetarian and the more people do it the more accept it and follow by example (even if it's just eating less meat). So all in all, we're saving hundreds of millions of animals per year, and that's a big number. This is only possible if the individual doesn't believe in the "I don't make a difference" argument. Let's take the example where it hurts Biden, you don't hear him say "don't vote for me because your individual vote doesn't do much in the grand scheme of things." :D The same goes for climate change, and 15% for one single country is quite a lot actually. So if America does it they're also setting an example for other countries, they can learn from each other, etc. So I'd argue that if they make drastic changes it would do A LOT in the grand scheme of things. China and India are doing it, by planting a shitload of trees, so America better not lag behind! And I, for one, would welcome that, because I do think we have a problem (and I'm doing my individual part as well) :)

                  As someone who doesn't want children at all it's beyond me why anyone would ever want more than, say, two. Or how you'd pay for more :~ I do think child birth beyond the first or second child should be discouraged, like child support only for the first child, etc. And of course legal abortion possible through late stages in pregnancy.

                            Yes you may. I'm all for a world where animals do not have to suffer :) Unfortunately, we're far from that world, but at least I'm doing my part in minimizing the suffering by going vegetarian (been doing that since I was 10). I still eat eggs and yogurt and drink milk and wear leather shoes, I'm not vegan (which is probably not impossible, but still a bit difficult in the rural area where I live). As an added bonus it's supposed to be better for the environment :D

                              As you know, there is no such thing as free and that we all pay, regardless. I'm not against free healthcare but the system is corrupt and there's no easy way to do it.

                              Except for human babies? As mentioned in another thread. But I don't quite follow your logic. If you don't want animals to suffer then why not cage them all? They'll be eaten by you or some other animal in nature so the suffering is still there. Why live in a house if you don't want them to suffer? Your job causes suffering as we need to clear land for buildings, electricity, etc, etc. This forum is causing suffering to animals. And why are you OK with plants suffering? But not animals? Believe it or not, I'm not trying to argue or even convince you, it's just that the whole "animal suffering" argument doesn't make sense to me because even if you don't eat them, you (as in all of us) do a million different things a day that DO cause them suffering so I'm trying to understand your thought process.

                                I find joy in many things. Friends and family, nature, hobbies, work (sometimes)... It's not all about me, but a lot of it is, because this is my life :D I wouldn't call it selfish, it's just living my life without the hassle of children.

                                      So the baby is not alive even though it has a heartbeat, blood flowing, etc? It's not alive?

                                          Except for human babies? As mentioned in another thread. But I don't quite follow your logic. If you don't want animals to suffer then why not cage them all? They'll be eaten by you or some other animal in nature so the suffering is still there. Why live in a house if you don't want them to suffer? Your job causes suffering as we need to clear land for buildings, electricity, etc, etc. This forum is causing suffering to animals. And why are you OK with plants suffering? But not animals? Believe it or not, I'm not trying to argue or even convince you, it's just that the whole "animal suffering" argument doesn't make sense to me because even if you don't eat them, you (as in all of us) do a million different things a day that DO cause them suffering so I'm trying to understand your thought process.

                                          Speaking of selfish, we all pay a bit (and the rich pay a bit more) so that others can profit. For example, I pay a bit more taxes so that children that I don't want can get a free education. I pay even more taxes, or actually health insurance, that I don't need right now, so that others can get free (or cheap) health care. I pay for people who are (temporarily or permanently) unemployed, so they can live a regular life as well, keeping them off the streets (which also benefits me). I went to school for free. If I ever need health care it's either free or cheap. If I ever lose my job I get payment. It's still not a perfect system and some people are still left out, but overall everyone is happier :D It seems that in America you just don't want to pay for others because that's a "libtard" thing to do. And you also don't trust your government enough to let them handle it. Just my European view on things.

                                          If we don't eat them we don't need to breed them and we don't need to kill them. Some animals live their (short) lives in boxes and never see the light of day. They are in constant stress and hurt each other because they have too few living space. Animals are literally tortured as they're being cut (or burned in case of disease) while they're still alive! It seems that these animals are treated in the worst way possible. Like people actually thought about how they can make these lives as miserable and painful as possible. Plants don't suffer the same way. It's proven that plants feel "something", but they're not sentient or intelligent like animals. And plants need to be treated with care or they just won't grow. Yes, we need houses, and yes that's not beneficial to animals, but let's find a way that we can all co-exist. Like reserve some space for nature, keep animals there, and don't build houses there. Animals eating other animals is a necessity, but animals don't torture other animals for their entire lives before killing it, so at least it's more humane than what we do to animals.
