Some people are just wrong- Dulce et decorum est. They’re committing treason and that’s it.

My understanding was that although very few countries bother to do much persecution of homosexuals, there’s plenty of countries where informal lynchings of sodomites are common and ignored by the police.

Well they should. Germany should just summarily execute the draft dodgers- shipping them back to their country is a light sentence.

Uh, aren’t they all transgender furries? I agree that at the end of the day, guy with gun is going to beat computer programmer. But eunuchs often don’t care.

Blue tribe America likes English soccer- well not really, they don’t actually like sports, but they claim to like English soccer, so they’re probably watching a World Cup semifinal with England in it. Especially after Norway lost(backing Norway was trendy enough to make this World Cup more popular than usual).

The England-Argentina soccer rivalry is one of the bitterest in the game.

STDs do impact female fertility though.

The Israelites definitely knew about STDs, Leviticus contains specific regulations for dealing with what was probably gonorrhea.

It was also new- syphilis had not been in Europe prior to the discovery of the new world.

Your daily reminder that the Catholic Church does not waste exorcist’s time with cases that haven’t been signed off on by a shrink as ‘yes, is possessed, not just crazy’- and every case of a psychiatrist claiming to have seen exorcism work is because he(and this is normally a man) was contracted by the Catholic Church to do this.

Impregnating slaves and then committing infanticide was the first moral crusade of the Christian church; it was acceptable in Rome and Greece, but strongly opposed by both Christianity and Judaism. This is well recorded as a controversy in the christianization of Scandinavia.

People are very good at not noticing things that are taboo. It’s the same thing every time- Scott just lives in a bubble where stigmatizing homosexuality is taboo.

Have you considered hanging out with families that have kids who are a bit older? Little kids love teenagers and tweens and will prefer to bother them instead. And girls don't really need to be coaxed to not complain about it.

The Quebecois were pretty close for a while, and they were 'normal for the nineteenth century' religious rather than the literal Amish.

Indeed, most women would never fall for that scam.

if the man wants to divorce for a younger, more fertile woman to have more kids then that's fine
I'm always down for pushback against our resident misogynists not wanting to uphold the male end of the historic social contract. But I haven't actually heard one of them say that.

Both you and @omw_68 are wrong, for the simple reason that non-Israeli Jews have very low fertility. On the other hand, the nonzionism hypothesis- that Israeli society is set up so that everyone is trying to imitate a higher fertility group, even if indirectly- passes the immediate smell test.

The Byzantine Catholic belt in Europe has mostly replacement-ish fertility with generally educated women and high female LFPR- and some of the lowest fertility rates in the world on their borders. Conservative social norms and high importance of religion work, even when it isn't Jews.

Blacks haven't been overrepresented in combat troops since Vietnam- black volunteers overwhelmingly pick safe behind the line MOSes that teach practical civilian job skills. Doorkickers are mostly white with a few hispanics and oddball groups.

Uh, the English national team doesn't look more diverse than England itself; Bellingham is the only black player I can name. Granted he's a genuine star, but so is Kane. Today's semifinal was genuinely France's Africans vs Spain's Africans, but England vs Argentina is pretty much Northern European Whites vs Italian Whites.

Home births(or non-hospital birthing centers, which I suspect this actually was) aren't that dangerous. They're fairly common in the US(which Canada, whether or not it likes it, is enough of a suburb of that the same should apply)- certainly common enough that if they were particularly dangerous, this would be well known and called attention to by major medical bodies.

when was the last time you've seen a child with Down's
A couple of weeks ago. Some of us are actually pro-life.

There was the gay dads making content mocking their baby who was asking for "mama",
How is this much different from the career women whose babies cry when handed back from the nanny, other than those epic girlbosses having the good sense not to post tiktoks mocking it?
I am morally opposed to surrogacy- but you prove elsewise as well.
The tradition in apostolic churches is to introduce the Christian teaching on marriage with John Chrysostom for that reason.
I know that Protestants do not do patristics to nearly the same extent. But before saying things like ‘Christian marriage was the norm in ancient Rome’ it’s probably worth looking at what ancient Christian preachers were criticizing in marriages.
