Pro-Natalist

A couple points of contention:
1-Maintaining other cultures (in the name of pluralism and competition)
2-Practices decided by subsidiarity (Circumcision)
3-Using kids to inflate your own existential importance
4-Reproduction as evidence for the validity of practice (Circumcision)
5-Cultual Imperialism (Parent can't be the final arbiter)
6-The parallel between reproduction and happiness (Paperclip maximizing)
7-Cultual zealotry
8-Capital Punishment
I think I've seen enough.

Hym "I'm going to go point by point (In reference to the Alexander Grace video with the Pro-Natalist couple):
(1) I don't see how maintaining other cultures doesn't devolve into some form of overt Imperialism and (4) downstream from that I see you evidencing the validity of your 'culture' with your reproductive sucess and that isn't necessarily the case. (1) So I'll start by saying what I see happening (just from hearing you talk) is other cultures 'losing competition' thereby losing their claim to representation and being subordinate to the 'winning' culture. So that is just trading one form of Imperialism for another. (5) Additionally, I'm glad you brought up abuse because you see that (on some level) the parents can't be the final arbiter in regards to how their kids are raised. Firstly because they have to interact with other kids and other people. Now, I could devise of a culture wherein I have sexual relationships with my kids (at any and all ages). Now, your first response is likely going to be 'Well, your culture wouldn't reproduce as a result of inbreeding, therefore, the point is moot' but that could be remediated medical intervention (i.e. abortion) and I could add a practice (like the Viltrumites) where outsides are used for breeding and I could add a practice where the sons are made to kill eachother so that only one remains. (5) I don't agree that the external world should be prevented from intervening in the name of preventing 'Cultural Imperialism.' "

Liar Pro Max

The absolute apex of pathological liars. This individual doesn't just bend the truth, they sculpt it into elaborate masterpieces of fiction. Their reality is a hall of mirrors, where every reflection is a carefully constructed lie.

Here are some examples of "Liar Pro Max" usage with random people names:

Co-worker Conversation:
Mark: "Hey Sarah, did you get a chance to print those client contracts?"
Sarah (Liar Pro Max): "Absolutely, Mark! I finished them this morning. A bald eagle actually snatched them out of my printer and soared them straight to FedEx. Should be there any minute!" (The contracts haven't even been touched)
Neighborly Inquiry:
Jessica: "Hey David, how come your car was parked in my driveway yesterday?"
David (Liar Pro Max): "Wow, small world! Turns out gnomes are having their annual yodeling competition across the street, and apparently, my car is the grand prize. They borrowed it for the ceremony." (David was borrowing Jessica's car without permission)
Roommate Quandary:
Michael: "Dude, where's the last slice of pizza?"
Emily (Liar Pro Max): "Aliens. Definitely aliens. They beamed down last night with a giant spaceship shaped like a pepperoni and abducted the last slice for intergalactic research purposes." (Emily ate the last slice)
