So, you make 35 claims in 5 sentences. This inevitably means that you do not provide justification for any single claim in particular. So, what you write, is necessarily unsubstantiated. It is useless to do that. Instead, focus on one claim and then substantiate it extensively.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 2:09 pmLook at the OP. And then review your own posts. You were trying to tell us about how "the nuclear family" should be run. Look at the words you used above and there.
So I ask again: what gives Islamists any right to tell anybody what to do with "the nuclear family"? Their own behaviour in regard to their own women and children, and to a great many other men as well, is manifestly morally reprehensible and appalling. How would we ever look to the engineers of Oct. 7, or the Bataclan massacre, or 9-11, or Rotherham grooming gangs for moral clarity on anything, let alone "the nuclear family"?They've disgraced themselves, their religion and their people, in front of the entire world.

Re: The impact of democracy on the nuclear family
No, I don't. You're having trouble counting? There were four, and all verifiable by masses of evidence in the press and on the ground. Where are the twin towers? What happened at the Bataclan? What's the controversy in Rotherham today? What happened on Oct. 7th? All are documented, all out-in-public.godelian wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 2:38 pmSo, you make 35 claims in 5 sentences.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 2:09 pmLook at the OP.

They aren't even hard to substantiate: they're impossible for even a moderately-informed person not to know about.
I'll ask again: what makes Muslims so allegedly morally superior in relation to "family" dynamics that they can lecture anybody else, when their own record is so wretched?
And you know the answer.

So, what does any of that have to do with the price of eggs in China?

So don't talk about Islam's right to speak about "family values." They don't value life at all, even their own wives and children's, and certainly not the lives of anybody non-Islamic. So why do they get to speak to us about their wonderful "family values"?
They have no high ground to stand on.

Re: The impact of democracy on the nuclear family
The adulterous female gets stuck supporting the child at her expense but the equally adulterous male does not. How is that fair? The child gets shafted having to live an impoverished life compared to most of the other children. The child didn't do anything to deserve it. In the end, it's the irresponsible parents who are to blame, of which the female assumes responsibility for the incident and the male walks away clean. How is that ethical?godelian wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 2:33 amThe main idea is that nobody is going to do anything about it.

Just think of it. A woman decides to whore around and ends up getting pregnant. Why would anyone else spend effort on trying to figure out who exactly impregnated her? Why would anyone else spend effort on trying to extract money from that man? As far as I am concerned, the whore is on her own. Let her figure it out!
Furthermore, the man may not even be interested. It's not because he blew her back out that he gives a flying fart about that woman. If it was just a one-night stand, he may not even remember!
So, if he doesn't want to deal with it, then it is simply her problem.

The OP wasn't about Islam.

After sex, it is the female who gets pregnant. The male does not. How is that "fair"?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 3:48 pm The adulterous female gets stuck supporting the child at her expense but the equally adulterous male does not. How is that fair?
Seriously, why does a sexual act lead to pregnant females and not to pregnant males? Isn't that outrageously "unequal"? Aren't we all supposed to be "equal"? Why are there even males and females? That is the root cause of inequality!

If you don't think that it's Islam that has the superior view of "the nuclear family," just say so now.

Islam isn't it.
Re: The impact of democracy on the nuclear family
It does not matter to me that Islam is not a moral resource to you. You fail to comprehend that we have different benchmarks for right and wrong. That is why we are fundamentally incompatible. There are multiple different religions here in SE Asia, but we pretty much always come to the same conclusion, regardless of religion. So, we are fundamentally compatible. These people here clearly agree with me that a woman who got pregnant by whoring around cannot claim anything from anybody. Furthermore, I do not want to be compatible with people in the West, because I am convinced that the West is unsustainable and will soon crash and burn.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 4:04 pmBut you did.

It's not for anybody. It has conducted itself so shamefully, thoroughout its entire history, but especially lately, that it has no right to lecture anybody.

Re: The impact of democracy on the nuclear family
There are 2 billion Muslims, whether you like it or not. Seriously, you are delusional. You keep screaming in the wind while nobody is listening to you. When are you finally going to understand that your opinion on Islam is completely irrelevant?

Re: The impact of democracy on the nuclear family
Islam's an ideology, not a people. Ideologies can change, and the people will still live. So you're being irrelevant.
Muslims need to look at what their religion is doing, and get a moral conscience. Because clearly, something is very badly missing from Islam's moral conscience. And while they're becoming self-aware, they should stop lecturing anybody else about "family." They have no expertise to offer.
