Pretty obvious Kirk has no education since high school. He flunked out of Harper after one semester.

Is this Oxford Union?
That "if a man sleeps with another man and they shall be stoned" (not a native English) verse is wrongly translated iirc. In old Hebrew there is a word that specifically means "man who is not yet an adult" - and back then you were an adult with 14 I think.
It was never about being gay is sinful, it was about molesting children being a sin.
Similarly a lot of the stuff about sodomy was about rape. Regardless I don't think we should use religious texts as the basis for morals.
It was never about being gay is sinful, it was about molesting children being a sin.
Yeah, but no republican wants to hear that their favorite activity is a sin.
Reminds me of a scene from one of my favourite west wing episodes:
Well hell, they don't like that rule at all
Right? No wonder they all make it about The Gays.
It clearly says it's fine to sleep with a dude if you are both high.
Is there a specific drug or is it fucker's choice?
Not asking for myself, just trying to understand.
No specific drug. Caffeine, alcohol, even deep erotic breaths of oxygen will do.
I'd argue it means dopamine, suggesting it's only permissable with the desire (and consent) of both parties.
So what is the response? I feel like these clips are great. But if he makes a great point after, isn't it setting a trap where you share this and the response is his rebuttal which could be good or bad
As the other person said he ends up saying he still doesn't like it but there is still a challenge. The reason Charlie says it's reaffirmed in Mathew about the gays is because everything the student brings up is the old testament and Jesus already died to erase those sins. Bringing up Leviticus trying to make a point doesn't work if you believe in the new testament.
Good thing Charles set the trap himself by saying morality is objective and unchanging. That must either mean God commanded things that were not moral (which is against their worldview), or that burning women, killing disobedient children, taking people as slaves for life, and stoning people for working on the Sabbath are morally permissible.
It's usually impossible for them to concede God did anything wrong, so they have to justify numerous atrocities.
Not a Christian, but a Muslim once share the argument that God doesn't make mistakes and corrects, nor he changes his mind. He sets the correct rules for that moment, and any change is because it's the right thing to do and it's the right moment to do so. We mere humans can't understand enough, so that's the godly way to guide us.
He sets the correct rules for that moment
So morals are not objective and unchanging, rather they change depending on how God feels at any particular moment. You can't actually ground any sort of moral worldview with that belief because you can justify literally anything as long as you say God said so.
It was more "moral are beyond human comprehension, so follow sky daddy" kind of argument.
Not saying it's a good argument, but a possible one from a religious standpoint
So basically, morality is very tricky, so it kind of depends on the situation, so in general try to behave in accordance with X and avoid Y, but there will always be grey areas which must be judged on a case by case basis.
Kind of like how our laws work.
“Everyone! I just heard from sky daddy. He said you should all give me all your money. New moral imperative.”
They rationalize their way out of everything. The bible is infallible except when they don’t like what it says.
His response, and I’m not joking, when all of his arguments against gay marriage were defeated in that debate, was, “well, I still don’t like it.”
Yea I just watched the whole thing. One of my favorite things I've heard recently is people arguing if Charlie was a good debater or not. One person just said "did he ever once change his mind?" There's one a decade. Charlie was not debating. What pisses me off though is how little material there is for times like this to repost. Sure there's content but everybody on the left checks out and doesn't bother to archive anything worthwhile.
Stop stop, he's already de- oh wait.
Sorry is this how he died… I just got out of my rock..
basically. Someone was showing him that trans people are basically underrepresented in mass shootings, while Kirk et al claim the opposite; and his last words were "counting or not counting gang violence" which is a racist dogwhistle.
And then, (and this is unverified but it appears to be true) a member of a rival white mayonnaise gang capped his ass in broad daylight.
Edit IM LEAVING IT IT'S FUNNIER THAN THE TRUTH AND ALSO A LITTLE TRUE
No, it was actually a piano stealthily hung from a nearby rooftop, which the perpetrator cut down with some comically oversized scissors.
you know i saw the video he did go EVERYWHERE
You're doing it wrong. You are supposed to cut and publish only parts where Kirk owns the libs
editing videos like that is the equivalent to winning arguments in the shower
If only. In the year 2025, it apparently captures hearts and minds. I know because Boomers send this heavily edited shit constantly.
It teaches them the thought stopping cliches and mantras that they can use to “own” libs in drive by Facebook comments.
I think about the classic creationist “if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” It’s not intended to be an actual question - you can try to explain that no, we didn’t “come from monkeys,” that we shared a common ancestor, etc… but they don’t care. It’s just supposed to be a quick catch phrase that lets you not think about the question anymore.
That’s the whole point of all of these right wing “debaters.”
"I am convinced by this argument, so if I present the argument to you, I have made a convincing argument. QED."

The extensive attention to curation, editing, and deleting was the whole point of the manufactured reality being pushed.

Charlie Kirk never liked free speech
Glad that fascist is dead haha.
"I disagree with what you say, but will contend to the death your right to say it." / Voltaire
no one questioned his RIGHT to say anything.
you can’t question someone’s feelings over what he said. so your quote is less then meaningless here
