@boujee-babe Although I do agree that looking at the direction the society is headed, things would get worse and suicide would become more frequent, I don't think that there's no hope left. People could be helped. They could be saved. It depends on the person. For some people, a companion is all that's needed and for some people, a more serious therapy is all needed. We should not lose hope. All around me I'm seeing people committing suicide along with people getting helped. Life's not black and white. Just don't lose hope.

@sir-devil Did you guys notice anything strange in that picture?

Immoral according to religious beliefs. This is a religious reason

Immoral doesn't mean religion. It means that it doesn't conform to views of morality. You were the one to argue that religion is not necessary for morality.

This is just not even a reason to not do development of cells and tissue

That's not a reason to ban funding for research. If anything that means that we needed more reseach to understand how to grow adult tissue. We now know much more and can do things like this : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.popsci.com/amp/scientists-grow-transplantable-hearts-with-stem-cells&ved=2ahUKEwiY--eDnJvZAhUBDOwKHUumBWAQFjAAegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw2NHXqUsufKusPHLB37snC0

This is plain stupid. You are citing an article written in 2016 against a article written in 1998. The point is, how could the people know about this when they are not even able to grow most cells, which makes them think that they are unnecessary which in turn makes them oppose it.

THAT'S THE ONLY ANTI E.S.C. RESEARCH ANSWERS AND ITS RELIGIOUS=EVERYONE WHO WAS AGAINST STEM CELL RESEARCH WAS USING RELIGIOUS LOGIC

THEY ARE RELIGIOUS STATEMENTS

NO FUCKING WAY FOR SECULAR MORALITY TO OPPOSE ESC RESEARCH BECAUSE YOU PRIMARILY NEED TO BELIEVE THE A EMRYO IS A SACRED LIFE FORM WITH A SOUL TO OPPOSE ESC RESEARCH THEREFORE THE ETHICS WAS RELIGIOUS. FUUUUUUUCK. HOW IS THIS NO CLEAR TO YOU

How many times should I repeat? We are talking about a period almost 20 years ago. Back then, it wasn't a widespread knowledge that the embryo can't be considered to be life. Back then, in this context, Secular ethics is not much different from Religious ethics. Can't you see the point?! Back then, almost everyone thought that the embryo was just a tiny form of the baby and thus, killing it would be similar to killing a baby. I will repeat again, it was not a widespread knowledge that embryo can't be considered to be a baby. To have that thought, one doesn't need to think that baby has a soul, he just needs to look at that as a tiny baby.

He thinks that the embryo is a life because of religious reasons like he said "sacred gift from our creator" and the ethics he was holding are religious ethics. Or did you mean burrow of ethics, yeah they also believed it was sacred life and should be preserved because of religious reasons since that's not what scientists stood for at the time and they're not scientists.

Like I said, I don't have anything on bush's statement

Do your own research please. It is very known among secularists and scientists that the reason for the ban of funding stem cell research is strictly religious. I was only explaining this to you, it has always been proven

I have shown you stuff that proved my point that ban was not strictly due to religion. Here's more

We are stuck in a loop. This is getting nowhere.
This would be my last. I quit.

@justhere It's the tread started by Migos with their "Triplet Style". They had a huge success a few years back with their "Versace" and such a success would almost guarantee such an event. It had also happened before like the South Rap once dominating the industry. Here's a Video by Vox explaining this,

@lonely_wolf There are a lot of aspects to this story; after all humans are complex creatures. There could be a lot of reasons behind your friend's doubts over his sexuality. There are things we don't even know like when he started questioning his sexuality. This is important as if he had these doubts long before, the incident with F would seem more like a sexual experiment. He might have the way he did because he could have been afraid of your reaction; after all, you were indeed mad after witnessing it. Another thing, we don't know is why he started this questioning. His secretive and silent nature wasn't helpful here. He could have had these doubts from the beginning but might have dismissed it and might have conformed his sexuality to the expectation of the society. These are things that are vital to know the reasoning behind his doubts. You need to ask him yourself.

A few more things to notice is that one could get these kinds at any stage of life and no matter what, he is your friend and he will be your friend no matter his sexual orientation. I can understand that your previous trauma has left you being not too open-minded and I believe, it has even made you a bit too overprotective of your friend. It's not too bad but you get the point. The only thing that I could not understand here is why do you think you would have to cut your ties with your friend if he turns out to be gay? You might have a reason behind it and I want to hear about it.
