What exactly does "infanticide" have to do with the Earth?

Edit @Joules: I believe what you're describing is called "projection," and half those quoted on this site are guilty of it. Andrew Schlafly, in particular, does it constantly.

ConCat

It's true. I always time my abortions on Earth Day.

Joules

I wonder - do they demonise such eminently sensible (and actually quite biblically correct, if you take the view that god created a beautiful world for his special bipeds) concepts as Earth Day because deep inside they feel so guilty at the way they treat the poor planet they have to find some way to assuage that guilt, and transferring it onto others is the best they know? (There's probably a term for that but my knowledge of psychology isn't very good...)

Sounds awesome! Sign me up!

"Radical feminists use the day to promote infanticide or *remaining childless altogether*"

So a woman choosing not to have children is a sinner?

...what? How is wanting to set aside one day out of the year to help clean up pollution, plant trees and raise awareness about what people can do to reduce their individual impacts on the environment evil? And what does that have to do with feminism, infanticide or choosing to remain childless have to do with it? And how does that have an impact on air quality (especially since industry, not people breathing, is the major source of air pollution)?

Make sense, dammit!

Blasphemina

Abortion is not infanticide, Rapture Retard. Infants are born and separate from the mother, and feminists get pretty damned pissy about child abuse. Furthermore, someone's decision to remain childless is NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS.

As an aside, YOU'RE A FUCKING NOSY CUNT. BUGGER OFF.

To "love thy neighbor as thyself" would demand we take better care of the earth.

"...because they need something--ANYTHING-- to fill the vacuum in their empty hearts. Satan is always more than willing to oblige. "

And I thought it was normal for the heart to be a hollow organ, and that it was perfectly capable of filling itself once or twice a second. All this time it had been Satan!

I recommend Slayer's "Seasons in the Abyss" for your earth day infant sacrafice.

If your a little more low key with your earth day celebration, the first two Cypress Hill albums are perfect for sitting around and smoking epic amounts of weed.

Kat

Okaaayy. Tell me BarbT, you didn't take anything before going to this Earth Day celebration when you were in your early 20's did you?

Things can appear different and thus have a pretty wacky memory because of it.

"Earth Day is a pothead's dream."

Uhhh, nevermind.

Not at all surprising, really. Raptards hate anything that seeks to stave off the apocalypse, like taking care of the Earth.

TGRwulf

Usually you can at least somewhat follow the mental gymnastics on the crazier posts. This however, I can't even phathom how she got a feminist abortion agenda and pot-heads out of fucking Earth Day! What does ANY of that have even a remotely close thing to do with cleaning up the planet and planting trees?

"Radical feminists use the day to promote infanticide or remaining childless altogether to protect the air we breathe."

First, since when? This is the first I've heard of this. And second, what's wrong with not having kids (whether you say it's because of the environment or not)?

"Atheists, false religions, and apostate Christians embrace this day because they need something--ANYTHING-- to fill the vacuum in their empty hearts."

Hardly. My cat and my friends and the stuff I'm interested in do a way better job of that than one day I don't even really celebrate. (They also do a way better job of it than your god.)

<i>Radical feminists use the day to promote infanticide or remaining childless altogether to protect the air we breathe. </i>

If this is true (and as pomos have been known for IRL trolling like this, I wouldn't put it past them) - they should start with themselves.

abc

...even allowing for her very probably have meant abortion, rather than "infanticide"

abc

The only thing I can't stand even less than deluded theists is deluded pomos. It's one thing to deny something that noone has seen happening because of the timeframes involved, and a completely other thing to deny something which happens before your very eyes in Detroit, Haiti and elsewhere - people who are our equal SIMPLY NOT MANAGING to meet the demands imposed on them by the modern society.

Also, see David Reimer case. Another outgrowth of the "no innate differences" delusion.

I DO realize that finally accepting that everyone is not the same can lead to inequality and exclusion. But denying that which is obvious is not helping things.

In a materialist's worldview truth, based on impartial observations of OBJECTIVE REALITY (yes, pomos, there IS such a thing), no matter how unsettling, is better than a reassuring lie. A lie being cultivated for political ends, regardless how noble in retrospect, is bound to someday backfire, and prevents people looking for a real solution in the meantime. How can one make things better (hope I'm not being too naive in assuming that that, rather than something else, is the pretension of all scientific endeavour) if one doesn't know - or (as is the case with the pomos) doesn't quite care - what they are like in the first place?

And it's not like the dogma of "no innate traits" is without problems of its own. The logical consequence namely - the unlimited shapeability of human nature, allows for abusive social experiments on a massive scale.

For example, jamming people into ugly boxes of reinforced concrete, several families in a flat, despite your beloved country having the most land in the world.

How could a movement, that initially was concerned with workers' rights (happy May 1st, btw!) give rise to a gang of reality-denying scum holding sine cura degrees of no scientific merit, who disseminate pseudoscientific BS claiming that "we've been gypshuns, nomesane"?!

How could a movement that fought the parasitic sacerdotal caste give rise to a gaggle of self-righteous frauds who try to reverse the acquierements of the Age of Enlightenment by substituting OBJECTIVE REALITY with individual truths; who exhibit but utter contempt for exact sciences; who hail muddled up thinking (and equal wording) and try to pass it off as sophistiqué-tion and profundity?

@abc WTF is a goddamn pomo?

Part 1

How right you are. One time in the cafe, I saw someone who I thought was a feminist pothead engaged in conversation with a devilish looking chap. I sat down on the table next to them so that I could listen while I pretended to read the paper.

The devilish looking chap was doing all of the talking.
"I know you find existence to be tedious and pointless, and your days filled with lesbianism, drugs and Liberal atheism. But it needn't be that way", he intoned in a very deep and persuasive advertising voice. "You could lead an exciting and productive heterosexual life by producing cannon fodder, er, um, I mean, soldiers for Christ, er, for Christ," er, he, cleared his throat. "Anyway.", he said, "Where was I"?

continued ...

Part 2

"Oh yes! Why settle for a tedious life thinking about the welfare of others and being considerate of other people, with only drugs and lesbian sex to provide your comforts? Why not instead start using the full power of your, er imagination? Ever thought of hovering one day? Ever thought what it would be like to be wearing freshly laundered underwear, when suddenly, a glorious fanfare blazes forth, excitedly you spring to your feet, ecstatic in the knowledge that the trumpeted announcement of Jesus's arrival has sounded? How cool would that be?" he triumphantly proclaimed.

"Magically, your clothes fall off into a heap beneath you, and, standing naked, you feel the throb of your anal rockets as they ignite ready to boost you into the aerial queue that has already begun to form ready to take your nude turn of clasping Jesus round the waist or groin or somewhere roughly midriff anyway. And not only that," he continued enticingly, "All this is going to happen soon", he beamed devilishly.

"And, while you're waiting, which won't be long, obviously", he came back down to earth a little, "You can spend your days in idle chatter on the internet, with others just like you, gabbling about how persecuted you are and how much you'd love to persecute others. A life of wonder and excitement awaits you."

I nodded off here, and missed whatever else was said.

I had a rant for you, but then I realized addressing your moronitude would be about as productive as repeatedly slamming my head into a wall. So I decided to do that instead. Now I'm brain-damaged so your post makes perfect sense! Praise the Lord!

So... you admit that Satan actually DOES SHIT, where your "god" sits back and does nothing? WHY are you following that deadbeat, again?

dionysus

And here we see how far ultra-conservatives will go to hate anything they see as remotely liberal; every single damn action we take is turned into Satanism and radicalism. For fuck's sake, I'll admit it even when a fundie is on the right side of an issue and acknowledge that they can sometimes perform good deeds. Meanwhile, they seek to constantly vilify others. What a sad life these people lead; I'd never be able to live a life filled with such hatred for people that simply disagree with me.
