  • Not only that, but according to the Bible, life begins at the first breath taken after birth. Also according to the Bible, the punishment for injuring a woman and causing her to miscarry is the same as for loss of property, which is dramatically different from the punishment for murder.

    Kinda takes the wind out of the “abortion is murder” argument, from a biblical perspective, at least.





  • There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it’s basically because they don’t see her as attractive, and that’s definitely a major component of it.

    What it comes down to is that they’re so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.











  • First off, in the world of Ghostbusters, ghosts absolutely are real, though their appearances seem to be somewhat sporadic.

    Second, Peck was a man who abused his power and nearly caused an apocalypse.

    I’m not saying the Ghostbusters were entirely in the right, but Peck absolutely went too far because of his own personal biases. When he first went to the firehouse to investigate, he started out just fine. When he asked to see the containment unit, Venkman asked a perfectly valid question, “why do you want to see it?” From there, Peck immediately went off on a tangent, accusing the Ghostbusters of being frauds, and threatening legal action, to which Venkman responded in kind.

    The next time Peck shows up, he has barged in and shuts everything down without thought of the consequences. Even the people he brings along for support think it’s a bad idea.

    It’s like somebody built a bomb in their back yard, and instead of properly defusing it, he insists they take a sledgehammer to it.

    Imagine how this goes if he kept his cool in the first meeting. Venkman likely shows him the containment unit, and Spengler explains how it works. If it really does run afoul of EPA regulations, the Ghostbusters get a fine, and are asked to bring their equipment into compliance. Maybe they have to retrofit a few things, but in the end, there’s probably no explosion of ghosts, and possibly Vinz Clortho and Zuul never manage to link up (as their meeting was facilitated by the chaos of the aftermath), preventing Gozer from entering our dimension.
