  • It is against the law. That means that society, as a whole, has decided that this is immoral.

    No one forces you to stare at the girl

    So that means that its morally okay to kill everyone who looks at me (“No one forces then to look at me!”)?

    Why is your ethics enforceable, but other people’s aren’t?

    Because ethics are only enforcable through laws and the laws currently enforce “my” ethics in that regard.

    Why does she have less right to practice her ethical choice to expose her body (assuming by your answer you would have offense)?

    Whether that is morally right is an ethical question but would you say the same about a minor (exposing themselves)?

    Ethics is very subjective

    Exactly, so what is the issue with the company having moral concerns about it and shutting it down?














  • Not quite. The thing is, gender identities is a complex topic with vastly different (political) opinions. To objectively explain it, you would have to present the different views and how some people believe this and others believe that. However, children don’t do well with these multiple realities, most would most likely ask you “Well, which one is true?”. That, however, is a political opinion.

    I therefore think it should be up to the parents to educate their kids in that regard, according to how they see fit, and not up to the institutions, at least not until kids are old enough to reflect about their political views and form their own opinion upon being presented with the topic in an objective way.


  • Its not that simple because more than the land, the religion is the problem. Neighbouring countries have an issue with that, which goes far beyond a claim of land. Its less of an “We want that land so we can live there” and more of an “We want those jewish people out of here”.

    Israel even offered them land (as part of the two-state-solution which the Hammas stopped in the end) but that is not what they want.

    Why do you think neighbouring countries, who themselves own land that was originally part of Palestine would attack Israel to claim land for… what really? For Palestine? A country that doesnt even exist anymore?


  • The thing is, the land itself is not the issue, there is enough land there. Rather, both parties have vastly different political ideals (and religions) and the people from neighbouring countries heavily disagree with Isreals politics.

    After WW2, Great Britain gave most of the land to the surrounding countries (as far as I understand) but reserved some land for what is now known as Israel for Jews to be able to form a state. However, this did not sit well with the overwhelmingly muslim countries around it.

    Good to know: Whether Palestine is a country depends on who you ask. Most countries in North America, Central/Western Europe and Oceania (Australia etc.) DONT consider Palestina a country while countries in South America, Africa and Asia overwhelmingly DO recognize it as a country (there are exceptions).
