To end hunger, we need to stop considering it as someone else’s problem: this is a shared responsibility requiring global solidarity in both developed and developing nations. The equation is simple, if we are all part of creating the problem in the first place, then we must all be part of the solution.

CONCLUSION: In the end, it is difficult to say objectively that these biblical "proofs" point specifically or solely to Jehovah's Witnesses. [Isaac J. Harris - Debating the 6 Biblical Proofs of the Watchtower Society and Jehovah's Witnesses]
Paedophiles
If child sex dolls function as advocates claim, they will maintain paedophiles’ sexual urges for children. Rather than encouraging restraint or investing energy into pursuing healthier relationships or sexual practices, child sex dolls enable the realistic fantasy experience of sexually abusing a child.
Child sex dolls and robots do not offer a solution to child sexual abuse. Rather, they detract from meaningful attempts to address an epidemic of child abuse and obscure the cultural drivers that contribute to it, such as male power and the sexualisation of girls. If ending child sexual exploitation is the objective, the answer will never be found in legitimising these practices.

Relativism
Sept 19, 2020
👉Moral relativism can be dangerous since it leads to moral paralysis and indifference. We presently live in a world mired by a multitude of notions of moral relativism.
In a Post-Truth Era, as we are in, politics is defined by a political culture in which debate is framed by appealing to emotions rather than details of policy. Factual rebuttals are ignored, truth is of secondary (or even less) importance. Post-truth politics is dangerous as truth is not a priority anymore. Welcome to 2020.
👉Moral relativism is the view that moral judgments are true or false only relative to some particular standpoint (for instance, that of a culture or a historical period) and that no standpoint is uniquely privileged over all others. (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

We live in an age of deep ideological and moral conflict, not only in politics but in social and political theory. Whatever might be one’s own convictions about the ultimate truth of the matter, it is not one on which all reasonable citizens will converge: as far as public moral reasoning goes, there are a number of reasonable ways of ordering social and political institutions. Each is convinced that his political views represent the truth, but to your neighbor they are errors. In the midst of this, mainstream political philosophy continues to spin out endless rationalizations of the theorist’s ideological convictions. What truly flummoxes contemporary political philosophy is how to seriously and productively theorize about a deeply morally diverse society. Given that this is a defining feature of our time, it is hard to overestimate how devastating a failure this is. --Gerald Gaus
Religious Freedom
The unreasonable don't understand what the word "religious" means in religious freedom, So they make every effort to change the narrative to something they understand: hate 🤔

Background checks came about through case law, and though I am not saying I am totally opposed to some background checks (limited), I am saying that such checks are in effect basically asking the government for permission to own a gun. No one should have to ask permission from the government to do anything that is supposed to be Constitutionally protected. Obama's action today is just more encroachment from the Federal government against basic rights. His action to "hire" more agents enlarges the government even more. My negative view of larger government isn't based on any partisan platform, but practicality. Historically, the larger a government becomes the more ineffectual it becomes and it becomes more corrupt as it is unable to police itself. That problem has been there since Adam and will continue as long as man lives connected to that heritage..or, in short, the end of time.
A great deal of case law is Constitutional over reach. A Constitutional Convention may address some issues, but what really needs to be done is a major purging of SCOTUS case law, in which most was created based on the whims and emotion of the day, rather then the Constitution itself. However, there's a 99.9% chance that will never happen because of the power, it gives to attorneys and lawyers and places judges in "high" places. --Zorek Richards 01.05.16
