they give you a valium to take a half-hour beforehand but it doesn't do a fucking thing, you may as well have a double dose of children's benadryl

they don't put you under but they do inject anesthetic into each ball

then the surgeon makes a teensy cut at the top of each ball, and manipulates the balls heavily in order to expose the vas deferens

it gets snipped and the ends get burned and you get sewn back up with one dissolving stitch per cut

the nurse tells you "ice your balls for two days, don't walk much or lift anything during that time, and don't have sex or jerk off for a week"

then you go home and take long naps and watch chernobyl while everyone else is off swimming. for a week it feels like you got kicked in the balls, you can't move quickly, and you won't want to be around crowds or small children

wear big baggy running pants to the surgery

Even if this were true, this is not convincing argument to make for the same reason that you can't just look at a country's GDP size and infer if it is rich or poor (you have to look at GDP per capita). Are third-world countries per capita putting up the most children for adoption? Or is the number the highest simply because there are more of them? The assertion I am making is that in advanced countries there is a proportionately much higher contribution to putting up children for adoption, because of culture issues.

Since I come from a third-world country, I can tell you a thing or two about what we do with our children. It's not a good thing, but poor families with a lot of children put them to work, before giving them up for adoption. You'll find kids working in car repair shops, brick manufacturing, as apprentices in small-crafts and so on. Again, it's not a good thing and would be illegal in advanced countries but just telling you that your claim is probably untrue. There are other clear differences in society as well, somewhat stemming from culture and somewhat stemming from economy-state welfare not being there, such as the fact that there are no old-people/retirement homes, whereas that's a big thing in America and other advanced countries.

I actually did my homework before stating that, so it is in fact true that the top providers of children for adoption are poorest nations. You can do all the mental acrobatics you like to continue to moralize why American children end up in foster homes, but the fact is the justice system rules hard in favor of economic status and against parents with known criminal records (usually resulting from drug addiction, which is also much more prevalent in people of lower socioeconomic status). In other countries that didn't have a cultural 'war on drugs', parents continue to have custody of children while they're still addicted, is it better for those countries to have lower adoption statistics?

It's just not a very marxist-materialist position to hold. You might as well moralize why the prison population of the US is predominantly black and hispanic and attribute it to "culture", instead of acknowledging how the justice system is rigged against people of lower economic status. Also explains why the adoption statistics for black and hispanic kids are several times higher than for white Americans. Do black and hispanic people have a culture of discarding their children? Because that is a pretty direct implication.

Not necessarily, but regardless of whether the reason for adoption numbers being high or low is a good or bad one, adoption itself is a social evil.

It's just not a very marxist-materialist position to hold. You might as well moralize why the prison population of the US is predominantly black and hispanic and attribute it to "culture"

Why? I don't see why my reasoning should naturally extend to fit your analogy. Are you in turn suggesting that culture has nothing to do with social problems? Are school shootings and violence in the US not related to cultural issues, with the vast propogation of violence in media? Ofcourse it is. Just because I might argue that culture might describe one social evil doesn't mean you have to extend that argument to every single social evil. This is not a mathematics formula.

instead of acknowledging how the justice system is rigged against people of lower economic status.

It is rigged against people of lower economic status. I've never argued against that. But not everything can be reduced to economics, granted for sure, it must be the dominant consideration behind putting up a child for adoption everywhere in the world (all I am saying is there is a cultural difference that leads to more kids being put up for adoption in advanced countries).

It's also several times more common among black and hispanic people in America. If anyone wants to claim adoption stats are a function of a "culture of discarding children" as I think Imran is suggesting, then it is running headfirst into a pretty racist proposition. Fundamentally, the numbers don't agree with the notion that the US has a culture of abandonment. The US is the top receiving country of international adoptions, yet doesn't even break the top 15 for putting up children for adoption, despite dwarfing almost all of them in total population. If you wanna flex on America as a thirdworldist, there are other more factual ways to do it.

Also I can't take seriously the idea of blaming school shootings in the US on the media or anything other than utterly retarded gun laws. Might as well blame violence on videogames and death metal too.

Sounds like you've spent way too much time in Texas, Imran.

Grudge · Post by **Grudge** » 18 Jul 2019, 23:29

Your assertions aren't really supported by the US Government's Adoption and Foster Care statistics. Your argument's racial premise is pretty starkly wrong.

You claim that it's "several times more common among black and hispanic people in America", but the statistics report that the majority of children, that's 44% of the kids put up for adoption are in fact, white. Black and hispanic children account for 23% and 21% respectively.

Under the table titled "Circumstances Associated with the Child's Removal", the single biggest reason cited is "Neglect", at 62%. The closest reason to "economics" is "Caretaker inability to cope", which stands at 14%.

https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/f ... port25.pdf

The ACYF office reports, in terms of trends, a greater reduction in the number of African American children being put up from adoption, than white children, from 2002 to 2013

https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/f ... rends1.pdf

I do appreciate that you've evolved since the last 10 years ago into a more progressive view and are eager to establish your new credentials by attacking the most Left-wing poster on the board (me), but you are better served by acquainting yourself properly with the facts. I am open to being wrong here, but you've got to do it with the facts.

Nice of you to cherry pick, but neither of these facts are incompatible with what I said: there are more black and hispanic children put up for adoption per capita of each race. Even if 37% of adoptees are white (call it 44% but this is what I found, close enough) white americans make up 60.7% of the population. Whereas black adoptees make up 35% yet only 12.6% of the population. That's a ratio of almost five times greater for black Americans (and taking your numbers, it's still ~2.5x more common for black americans). So consequently, insisting that it is a "culture of discarding children" also carries with it this racist baggage of suggesting that black Americans are ~5x more likely to have a "culture of discarding". Unless you want to claim the reasons for putting children up for adoption vary enough by race to account for that (and can prove it), that is a direct implication. This is why I reject it entirely and attribute it to socioeconomic reasons instead.

https://aspe.hhs.gov/report/adoption-us ... and-gender

It's good that you found stats for the causes of children being put up for adoption in the US, but without equivalent rosters for other countries it becomes very hard to do an honest apples to apples comparison. If you play an honest adoptee numbers game, you lose every time trying to claim the US has a unique culture of discarding children to at least a dozen third world countries. Who knows, maybe you're right and the reasons for adoption in other countries are totally different, and American parents who put their kids up for adoption are statistically more likely to be pieces of shit than in other countries, but without that information what you are saying is not a believable claim.

I'm sad to see you you haven't evolved much past your former self of judging the moral character of other people without a shred of self-awareness. Go fetch another bottle from your trunk while you judge broken homes.
