      Miwojedk Do you support late-stage (<4 weeks before birth) in cases of rape and medical emergencies (say an issue that has a 30% chance of killing the mother, but saving the baby in all cases).

    i agree with your previous point - it isn't just consciousness that factors into somebody being human - but i believe it's most likely one of the biggest reasons people argue against abortion (or atleast what I have seen from pro-life protestors)

    late-stage abortions are another issue as the baby usually is awake around 18 weeks and can feel pain at 22 so if you were to abort a baby at around 30-40 weeks you're not killing a cluster of cells but an actual being at that point, atleast in my opinion.

    for rape, the option of abortion should be present for the mother for their health up until 24 months (as it was before).
    i personally believe abortion shouldn't be carried out (in the vast majority of these cases) as the procedures following late-stage abortion are gruesome for the foetus (poisoning, crushing, dismemberment) and raise short-term health effects for the woman so overall causes more suffering than early on abortion. this was already in place both by laws but also by the financial impact and scarcity of third trimester abortions. infanticide is illegal in many states (maybe all, im not american) and at this point, the line dividing the two is blurry.

    under medical emergencies, in most situations, i believe abortion is still right as an option as preventing the mother from saving herself from maternal death is (at least for me) fundementally wrong if you are also fighting to save the baby by labelling it "murder" by not doing so. the mother can choose to save the child if she wanted to but with the way medical technologies has progressed hopefully this choice will not have to be made in the future.
    many of the things argued by pro-life that are emotional fallacies could also apply to the mother herself yet we have to look back at the point of the lesser evil and which would suffer the most from not getting an abortion. even if the mother was to live, the baby may grow up in an unloving household as they were not aborted (however this is contingent on the parents)

    although, from studies that i have read, many of the late-term abortions are not due to medical complications but moreover late pregnancy diagnosis so the ethics on this depends on a case-by-case basis

    abortion should still be protected as an option in every case before 24 months since it's a woman's right to choose however i believe it should be limited past that time frame under certain circumstances like it was before purely because of the many issues facing the mother and the fact that the child is actually alive, and not a metaphorical "it could be alive" alive.

    i would love to hear your (and others) opinion on this though

    just a question for those who don't support abortion and claim it's murder: at what point is killing the foetus/embryo murder?

    many abortions occur before 13 weeks and the thalamo-cortical complex which provides networks for elaborate consciousness begins to connect around 17-28 weeks (24 is the point at which you cannot abort for non-medical reasons).

    if i were to abort a child at around 4 weeks (when symptoms of pregnancy begin to show) the embryo would barely resemble a living creature and would be better described as a cluster of cells. is the embryo as alive as a fetus or baby?

    i do not believe a human embryo deserves any more rights than much more intelligent creatures - we can put down dogs for medical reasons or hunt deer - especially when this embryo may grow up to harm the mother (economically, physically, or mentally) or have a horrible standard of living itself due to it's environments or due to it's disabilities.

    i've seen people give up their lives caring for their extremely disabled child but atleast they had the choice to abort and they could decide to stick with the baby

    many religions believe in the idea of the lesser evil and so the chance for parents to abort in case of medical or mental issues should be protected in case the mother is going to be detrimentally affected by the birth - abortion only affects the child and the mother.

    also i find it funny how the process of abortion (going to a place with protests, watching a video on why it's bad, seeing the ultrasound of your baby) is much more tedious than buying a gun but that's another topic

      enchy shouldnt have fought back against nazi germany and the holocaust

    they didn't

    they only fought back against them because they invaded poland

    they were perfectly content with the treatment of the jews at the time - even with the nazis "cleaning up" the streets of propaganda posters during the summer olympics - because literally most countries were very racist and so didn't want to seem hypocritical (USA didn't want to go there originally)

    also the atrocities of the holocaust wasn't discovered by the allies until after WW2 iirc

    look at me being pedantic on a minecraft server !

    @' xX_RobloxGamer_Xx' yep soooo true america is literally a one party state and youll get the death penalty for speaking out against the government

    because that's totally to do with my point

    @' xX_RobloxGamer_Xx' the most controversial opinion i have is probably nsfw, gore, and “edgy humor” should be treated the same and all are equally as bad

    anyways

    to add onto this point people who show you gore and say it's "funny" are probably just doing it to look hard
    if someone says "you wouldn't survive in a cod lobby" to me irl it would take the will of a thousand gods to prevent me from wanting to punch them in the face

    the USA is the florida of the world

    the patriotism and gun culture is north korea level and it's kind of worrying they have to pray to their flag every school day like it's a deity

    some act as if european countries are barely developed however most US cities are 50 years behind norway or germany

    the UK has better dental care

    virtue signaling white americans are the most annoying people since they "cancel" other cultures

    also the education system is shit/extremely easy compared to the rest of the world - this is clearly evident by their political state

    i think of instead just having communism there should be seperate countries where the players join each and by democracy (or by tyrany) appoint leaders.

    these countries have different extreme political ideas, i.e. an extremely capitalist country, a communist country, a country in anarchy so it could lead to not only civil wars but wars between countries

    vouch overall though

    totalfreedom is stable-> owner does something -> 5 people don't like it -> owner vote off thread -> complete change in management -> server count dies yet again

    repeat ad nauseum

    but like actually whenever someone makes one of these "vote off proposals" they're just hypotheticals where there are literally 0 (imo) suitable owners that would improve the server and not have prolonged controversy and just have a lack of a plan in general in case the person you've made a 6 paragraph criticism essay decides to just quit

    i'd much rather have this corporatized totalfreedom over the old "golden age" doxxing and corruption of pre 2018 lol

    people are making too many suggestions to ban features when in fact we should just ban the misuse of them instead

    just tell people to stop doing it near spawn or if it's annoying other players because iirc there is already a rule on lagging other people out/trolling?
