[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]
Large families are a matter of faith for many religiously conservative populations.
“For us, family is part of faith. It’s not something we choose,” said Malka Silberstein, a principal of a girls’ school who settled here with her family 35 years ago.
There are three religious tenets that drive our growth: Our women don't use birth control, they get married young, and after they get married, they stay in Kiryas Joel and start a family. Our growth comes simply from the fact that our families have a lot of babies, and we need to build homes to respond to the needs of our community.
— Gedalye Szegedin, village administrator
These are quotes from members of the Hasidic community, Kiryas Joel. It is the poorest municipality in the nation and also the lowest median age. 40% of the 20k people who live there are on food stamps, and virtually every family and social service there is heavily reliant on public assistance and American tax dollars.
Where is Mets to tell them they are irresponsible people who don’t care about their children?

I'll say they are very irresponsible. But not as much as people who do the same thing in a war zone prison state.
This is some Stage I banality of evil stuff in here. Those bad/stupid/irresponsible/vermin breed like rabbits happening and people justifying it and not seeing what they are saying.
Completely deranged bloodthirsty ****, honestly some of most worst discourse I've seen on the internet. Doing a great job as always, bowser.
Chasidic jews in america are very immoral with how they game the system no doubt
American law allows them to game it, which is bad
Not sure how that's relevant to already being in poverty and purposely having many kids who are destined to be in poverty
And again you are ignoring arafat demanding Palestinians to. It isn't about religion

Arafat’s been dead for 20 ****ing years. 40% of Gaza’s population is under the age of 14.

No one is ignoring it, the point is simply so stupid it's not worth addressing. Gazans are not having children because Arafat told them to 20 years ago as part of a devious plot any more than the Hasidic Jews are. This is simply what regular-ass people do, they have babies, they get fruitful and multiply. They care about their children.

This x10000000
Even China couldn’t get its people to have babies. Nobody is procreating out of some patriotic duty.

That may have been influenced by the fact that the previous generation they tried to get people to have fewer babies, which definitely worked.
Also, have you never heard of "lie back and think of England"? It's definitely been seen as patriotic to reproduce in many cultures, and that definitely is one of the reasons people have a lot of children.

I'm sure the current leaders feel the same way, they just haven't stated it as succinctly. You folks are so into defending the oppressed that you're blind to what's right in front of your face and deny what is stated by group leaders.
Israel bombed the last place for surgery in the north.
lots of reports of mass executions at Al Shifa for the past few days. just taking groups of 3-10 people into the morgue and shooting them.
Israel is not bothering with ovens. they are just going to use the blood and bone of those they murdered to build upon the stolen land.

There's going to be buildings made of blood and bone? Victor predicted it first, folks - can't wait for the gloating post about how he was right again.

Thanks for reporting those horrible posts to call the mods attention to them. Oh, wait. You didn't. The worst **** youve ever seen on the internet but apparently it didnt rise to the level where you think you should do your part by identifying the posts to the mods.
You know well that mods dont read every thread in real time. Esp like in my case, being on Thailand time, most posts in this forum occur during my overnight hours when Im asleep, and then I take a look in the morning. And the first place I look is post reports. I happen to see this now, around 2am, because I received a message from the US and it woke me up. I'll take mod action as needed later after Im up and read through all the posts.
So if you actually want to contribute something to the forum, try reporting posts. Don't hide behind the excuse some do about once upon a time I reported a post and nothing happened, or I never got a pm about it, so Im never going to report a post again no matter how bad it is. That's a cop out.
The fact is that as I type this, there hasnt been a single post report about anything in this thread, by anyone, in four days. We all have our role to play in identifying posts thatvrequire mod action. The first line is the members themselves. And that includes you.
just about every post by the Israeli supporters and Hamas haters is hateful. its not really possible to do either of those things without supporting genocide.
Not sure how that's relevant to already being in poverty and purposely having many kids who are destined to be in poverty
Hasidic communities are already in abject poverty and rely on welfare (and welfare fraud) at a rate that far exceeds the general population while purposefully having many children who are destined to be in poverty.
Furthermore, their children are denied an education and are instead funneled into private religious schools. They aren’t taught English, so they can never leave their Yiddish communities. The cycle is intentional. Where then are your criticisms of our own brothers? Enough with the pretense about Gazans and their disaffection for their own children. You don’t know anything about it.
like anyone who supports this stuff is just sick.
they bombed an orphanage today too btw

Bowser the fact is that troll and a few others consider even a vague attempt to vaguely imply something bad about an ethnic group, full blown racism that deserves censorship in this forum.
But they know you wouldn't censor that content so they don't report, but whine about the fact you wouldn't ban that content.
you're not subtle in the slightest. that moderation hides behind the "no one reported anything" but somehow finds Trolly's complaint to respond to is the ultimate leolol as far is this forum is concerned
