Has the “psych treatment” (which after the amount of comments you’ve posted is no excuse) impaired your cognitive abilities to the point where your unable to read your own comments or remember that printers have been invented. I didn’t bother reading past your first couple of objections, which IMO are false and I felt it pointless to continue. The point of philosophical debate is to get to the truth. If you’re debating with someone, whether that person would act immorally should they know the truth is irrelevant to whether something is true or not. As I see it, I may be wrong, Universally Preferable Behaviours are situation and desired outcome dependent. UPB’s are IF - AND IF - THEN statements. IF (whatever the situation is) - AND IF (whatever the desired outcome is) - THEN (whatever the action is) eg. IF (the situation is that someone would murder/ harm others if the truth was told) - AND IF ( the desired outcome is to not have the murder/ harm take place) - THEN (the action is to lie) eg. IF (people need to eat food to live) - AND IF ( people want to live) - THEN (eat food) Edit: I read a little bits of your other comments and IMO you’re scared to call in the show because it serves your ego to hide rather than risk exposing the level to which you’re displaying the dunning-Kruger effect. It serves a psychological need you have to feel intelligent/ perhaps superior. You’ve set up a paradigm that helps you feel comfortable/ safe/ it gives you a sense of relief from responsibility and to have that shattered would be to much for you to handle. Seriously, I think it would help you psychologically, if Stefan chooses to put in his time, to call in the show. Your “critique” of UPB is the least of your issues. Good luck and be well Edit#2 it’s all just my subjective opinion it maybe complete nonsense.

Today I was looking through old notes and came across this, I wrote it a couple of years ago. I remember attempting to write a song, starting with the words. This is as far as I got, in its current (unfinished) form, it’s more of a poem or maybe, as a friend said “a rap”. Anyway I thought I’d upload it here to have an online record of it and to share it with others. Feel free to give your thoughts and if anyone, with musical ability or otherwise, would like to use it, it’s yours. Be well. The invalid endorsed, support for the use of force, no reality discourse.

It was I who down voted you, I feel saying things like "I challenge you" is confrontational, and I also feel you are attempting to control Dsayers, the fella has already answered you, you just don't like his answer, if he wants to get into it again with you that's his choice. Also, I found the bit about your motorbike being stolen and you weren't that pissed because you didn't use it that much to be nonsense.

I apologise for not wording my post correctly, I should have stated "I have heard/read/it's reported that", I noticed you stated married at 9, I quickly typed then moved on. Lax of me!

"Married" a six year old child and then raped that child at the age of nine.

I bowed out of this conversation as its goes round and round and in the end, in my opinion, it comes down to subjective opinion. I'm just repeating myself but, As I see it, The woman isn't bound by the results as she still has a choice available, she owns her own body and the initiation of the use of force is immoral. The woman, in having an abortion, IS dealing with the results of her actions, she has exercised her property rights and freedom of choice. The man, on the other hand, once his sperm leaves his body and enters the woman's body, he no longer has any choice available, he has no property rights with regard to the woman's body. Men have sex with women in complete awareness of this knowledge. A high level of reliability is not 100% (as I'm sure your aware, pregnancy does still occasionally result).

Cabbages, they're nice vegetables wouldn't you say.

Firstly, I appreciate the apology, thanks. If person A says, " I feel that abortion is wrong because at the moment of conception the egg has the potential to form into a "human being"". And person B says "I feel that regardless of that potential, abortion is not wrong". I don't understand how that would not be classed as subjective opinion. I think you have misunderstood what I said (or I may have not made myself clear) as I've never said reality is subjective, in fact, Reality is objective and consistent, UPB. Over the years, I've put forward all the arguments and had the "debates", asked the questions, most pro-lifers don't want to listen, they have a belief (usually religious or people who go on about people who aren't able to have kids) and no amount of reasoning will change their mind, their irrational.

I Accept what your saying about person-hood. What I pointed out in my post was the main arguments that pro-lifers give. The subjective opinion I referred to was that they say, at the moment of conception there is the potential to form into a "human being" so to terminate that potential is immoral.

??You have completely lost me?? What are you talking about? Are you saying that that subjectivity doesn't exist?? What's your favourite flavour of ice ream? stating "try again" is clearly snarky! Also, you have clearly got your wires crossed, what facts are you talking about that you think I or whoever it is (I haven't a clue who your referring to) is ignoring.

Every discussion I've ever had/seen/heard about abortion basically come down to the same arguments:- At what point do we assign a fertilised egg/foetus with property rights?. Does the potential for a foetus to develop into a "human being" override the existing property rights of the woman? Is the woman that has an abortion immoral for terminating the potential for a foetus to develop into a "human being"? The whole discussion is subjective, it depends on your own personal belief/opinion, What is the basis of your belief/opinion is the real question. I'm of the opinion that, until science comes up with a way for us to choose whether fertilisation happens (I get that we choose to have sex) there will always be abortions and this discussion will continue.

I think nobody is denying(I may be wrong) that a fertilised egg is indeed "life" in a biological sense; however, some people are of the opinion that this "life", as it contains "human" tissue and DNA, can be classed as a "human being" and should be treated as such, which is subjective opinion.

You could say whatever you like but, Clearly when the baby is born its no longer part of the woman's body. As far as I can tell, you believe that if a women has sex she gives up the right to abort the pregnancy, she gave up ownership over her own body in consenting to sex and should be force to continue with the pregnancy? Is it your opinion that all abortions are immoral? Or is it a question of avoidability.? From your position, Would aborting a pregnancy on medical grounds be immoral?, even if the medical complications are a direct result of the woman's actions.
