on the basis of claims without evidence. There is no evidence for the soul existing. Anyone who believes in souls is totally free to not have an abortion, but no one should be forced to carry a child, because of other people's religion.
There has to be "SOMETHING" that makes the human stand apart from the rest of the molecule arrangements. So what would you call it? Some call it a soul, what would you call that special unique object or influence?
There is enough on YouTube to explain that in the finest of detail.
I can address specific questions about it, but I wouldn't know where to begin,
if you ask questions that show you don't understand the slightest thing about it.
In any case, that something that makes humans do things that a rock can not
is biology and a brain. It allows LIFE to 'skip' without being thrown across a lake.
When your brain gets damaged, your ability to walk, talk and think gets damaged
or destroyed. Isn't a soul supposed to be immaterial? Than why is it affected by material damage? Why can that special unique thing be damaged if it is immaterial?
I imagine those perverts were sniffing like ol joe when they found Melaina's panties .
Your statement that you fear left wing idiocy and stupidity is on you. Your feelings don't define half of this country. However, I can bring up the perceived head of the Republican party, Trump, and we can, FACTUALLY, say," The right wing and, in particular, the Republicans, are stupidly idiotic, supporting this jerk and his political ideas.
2) Many unwanted pregnancies are not caused by the woman being irresponsible, but just because contraception doesn't always work
and often because men force themselves onto them.
3) Most abortions are performed with a pill. Calling that a baby is bullshit,
it's a tiny clump of cells then. Most later abortions are because the pregnancy poses a threat to their health or there are fetal medical conditions or because
the woman didn't have the money earlier. The first two should always be allowed and the last can be prevented by making abortion free.
in an incubator. This consideration goes out the door for fatal fetal malformations. Women are now forced to carry and give birth to malformed babies that have no chance to survive. I cannot imagine much more barbaric practices.
No different than a grub worm becoming a moth.
A egg and a sperm cell meet,and a life begins.
A life that could be the 1 that grows up to cure cancer, or end wars.but if aborted,can do nothing but rot.
There might be medical decisions that come close. Let's say Siamese twins share one heart. The one with the heart is aware and able, the one without a heart is severely mentally disabled and not self-aware. I would agree with the decision to separate the twins and let the one without a heart die. Would you condemn the self-aware twin to suffer from their joined sibling the rest of their life?
Off course it is an ethics question: What has priority; the right of a woman to make a choice about her own body and her future or the further development
of a fertilized egg, zygote or fetus into a new human being.
I know your answer to that ethics question.
What do you think about the Siamese twins ethics question?
And if you think differently about that one, why?
It would be life, because it would be a independently growing, reproducing, continual changing and showing biochemical processes.
I agree that when an egg and a sperm link up, a live cell is created,
but I don't consider it a life. It is a life, when it can independently live.
And even then, that is not an argument against abortion for me.
I see it as the right of a woman to protect herself. That is more important.
Just like you support the right to own guns and use them to kill a self-conscious human being, for self protection or even to protect your property,
I support the right of women to protect their bodies and their future, by killing
a clump of cells, a zygote or a fetus, up to the gestational age where it is dependent on the woman's body to survive.
And I think your support for the right to own guns is less pro-life.
Where as if a crook breaks into my home,and HE or she chooses to TAKE MY LIFE, are you saying I shouldn't be able to choose to live? I should get out of my chair and walk over to them so they can get a better headshot?
Victims of crimes that could be prevented by being armed don't have a choice of being a victim or not unless they are armed to protect themselves. ,nor does the fetus have a choice and they are innocent, unarmed and unable to prevent their deaths.
both are being told their lives don't matter. Strange.
That child was not wanted. In a country that allows abortion, every child knows
that they were at least welcome. American children in the future will have names like; Leak, Oops, Precum, Preme-Jack, Toosoon, Toolate, Rapey, Hangover and Antibiotic.
Down syndrome is not necessarily a reason to abort the pregnancy.
Still a down syndrome child takes extra care and parents should be up to that.
It should be up to the woman/parents if they can take on that responsibility.
If that right is taken away, the country should provide an alternative, like paying
for the lost income, medical costs and compensation for the suffering and then
taking care of the children. If your side takes away abortion rights and doesn't offer
any alternatives, I hope cribs with newborn babies are left on every porch with a
Trump flag in front of it.
The -2% could choose alternatives in a ideal world. as I have said before, the problem people like me have with abortion is the fact women use it like a tummy tuck or a visit to the Bueti shop.
They want to be reckless and uncaring and when "Oopps" a baby,"oh, where's the guy with the coat hanger"?
This is the case in any civilised country.
Religious dictatorships like Saudi Arabia don't respect this.
of hearing people repeat the same nonsense over and over and over.
Whatever the other side says, your side is incapable of developing your arguments.
It's such primitive thinking and you restart at absolute zero, after just a few days.
It's like no one has given you any arguments against your thinking; nothing remained.
I'm getting tired of that too.
Show us the scars on your head!

2532 book bans in one school year, impacting 1684 individual books.
It affected more than 4 million students.
The worst offenders were Texas, Florida and Tennessee.
The bans are targeting authors of color and LGBTQ or books
that have main characters of those demographics.
Why are these book bans not a violation of the First Amendment?
You shouldn't be coaxing kids into that lbbtq stuff because they are to young to understand.
under 21,you can't drink,under 18,you can't vote,under 16 you can't drive,under 16 you can't married.But at 4 you can change your sex? Yea right.
when they turn 18,they can go to the dr and learn their options and arrange payments.
They are books by LGBTQ writers. And some have LGBTQ characters.
Who says the books say you can change your sex? Show it!
You only have a point if there is explicit sex in the books. Is there?
You are the one who feels the need to defend violations of the First Amendment.
It's a fact that books are banned. Prove that it's justified.
By the way, the government should not meddle in those things. They should just abide by the first amendment and let teachers decide at what age children have the mental capacity to understand that different people exist.
Also, some books are reportedly from black authors or there are black characters in it. Are the poor fragile little children hurt by the knowledge that black people exist?
You of all people understand that everyone can't control what happens ,that is why there is elected officials, to do our bidding. Some do right ,most do wrong. I commend those officials that see the potential for harmful wording and influences on our young people .They are actually doing the job we ask of them. it is those pacifist that ignore the hazards, anything goes, anything happens ,no one is responsible types that piss me off.
Accusing teachers of grooming is filthy right-wing propaganda.
Yes teachers should decide, because that's how a modern three branches government executes the law. Public schools funded with tax dollars, should
respect the law and the law says 'free speech'.
Parents can decide what children read at home, not in school.
Schools are the last bastion of defense against ignorance and fascism
and I hope secular/liberal people will fight you hard over it.
Who decides which movies children can see?
Stop conflating age restriction with censorship.
If a youngan under 18 does something stupid or gets sick or something, the parents are considered legally responsible for the debts and to provide shelter and food and clothing and such. So why suddenly do the liberals want to take responsibility for what they are taught in school?.
The government should make sure the students are taught history, math, english and home economics. When a student graduates from high school they should have a good idea of what it cost to run a household, how to clean house ,how to spell and how to add and subtract.
Teaching kids that men can have babies and cow farts pollute does nothing benefit the country or the student.
If a kid does not feel comfortable in his own skin, he must need counseling or some medicine. Not being coddled into something that is life changing before he is able to truly understand.
The government is also allowed to regulate education. The government would be allowed to appoint an independent organization to decide on scientific basis what content is not appropriate for children and assign age restrictions.
That is not what they are doing. The are BANNING books, from authors of specific race and sexual orientation, for all ages, based on politically and religiously motivations. That is a clear violation of the first amendment.
"Teaching kids that men can have babies and cow farts pollute does nothing benefit the country or the student."
In one sentence you are denying science on political motives and giving a stupid strawman about allowing children to know that transgender people exist.
In both cases you are demanding to keep the truth from children. And you are talking about coddling children? Just because you don't understand these topics, doesn't mean they are too difficult for the average 10 year old.
And who says the books are only banned for elementary School?
Without evidence your defense is invalid, because the guilt of
violation of the first amendment is already apparent.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;...."
Banning books of LGBTQ authors is 'respecting an establishment of religion'.
Freedom of speech! It doesn't matter who is capable of understanding.
If I had children, they would be allowed to read anything, while still respecting its
age restriction. Age restrictions are not determined by difficulty. The philosophy of Emmanuel Kant has no age restriction.
If they were just setting fair age restrictions by maturity standards, determined by
an impartial rating agency, I would not protest.
But they are not doing that, the conservative right-wing government is specifically banning books from colored authors and LGBTQ authors, because of bigotry and religious values. That's against your law. And it would be against the law of basically every (other) first world country. The US is slipping away man, slipping away.
These people that are writing books outside the social norms are considered a bad influence by people in power to make sure it does not affect our children.
Your argument of biology is nonsense. No one is suggesting people can biologically change their SEX. But just how people can be gay or lesbian, people can be transGENDER. It's in their nature and it most likely is biologically determined. They might look like one sex, but feel like the other sex. What you feel you are is called gender identity. You and me are just lucky that we were not born with our gender deviating from our sex. I call it 'lucky', because I'm really not jealous of the struggle they have to go through. You however want to make that struggle even harder, by maintaining and even strengthening the enormous stigma on it. You should have some more compassion, because their is a social stigma on disabled people too, especially in the US. It shows you are lacking imagination, when you cannot understand their challenges, while you are confronted with similar challenges. Why is it so hard for conservatives to imagine how someone suffers. It is really a character trait of conservatives to only understand what other people are going through, when they have experienced it themselves or someone really close to them is suffering.
It's a religiously inspired doctrine to fight people on their sexual preference or their identity.
"are considered a bad influence by people in power"
Exactly, that's the problem. And that's exactly why the First Amendment was written;
to prevent the people in power to decide what are 'bad influences'.
And when you agree with the people in power deciding what are 'bad influences',
you are showing that you either don't understand or disagree with the core principles of your own country. Or you are a hypocrite and you only support free speech for your own ideas, which means you don't support free speech at all.
Trying to change 1's sex to the other ,is something they can decide not to do.

“If you are silent about your beliefs because you are worried someone will be offended, then your beliefs are not that important to you, but rather what people think about you is,” it read. “When you stand up for what’s right and true, you will receive both hate and love, but everyone will know what you are fighting for.”
Are you still saying that to gays and lesbians too?
"Just choose to repress and hide your nature all your life"?
Or have you progressed beyond those archaic beliefs,
at least for gays and lesbians?
There are a few people who end up regretting their choices.
That's why people get lots of help when they are thinking about their identity and that's why medical professionals don't do anything irreversible before the age of 18. And even then, it's very well considered whether people should take drastic measures. However, it's just propaganda, that makes you think that many transgenders end up regretting their decisions. It is not clear how many,
but estimates are ranging from less than 1% to as many as 8%.
In any case, my opinion is that it is better to make your own mistakes, than to be denied the freedom to make them. And I think you would agree on that principle,
but you might make an exception for just this issue. Ask yourself why.
People are not silent about their beliefs, but people are getting SILENCED.
People are writing books about their life and the challenges they faced.
Those books are banned, because politicians don't want children to know.
And it's not just books from transgenders, it's also books from black people.
That's worse. At least understand that people cannot chose their color.
Tell me why you would support banning their books.
If you think books of transgender people are harmful to children, you must think that it is possible to talk children into thinking they are transgender. I think that's nonsense. No one could have made me think I was really a girl, especially not by just reading about the concept. How strong are your beliefs that you are a man? People either have doubts about their identity or they have not. If they have, I think it's healthy for them to read about what others like them have experienced.
Do you really think it's more healthy for them to get their feelings suppressed?
I firmly believe liberal parents are grooming their kids to be trans.Just as parents have groomed their kids to be in beauty pageants and sports for decaded. "You are going to play base ball" You are going to ballet" ,You are going to take piano lessons" , "you are not a boy,you are a girl,don't you like this pink dress".
I know you do, because you are 'groomed' to believe that.
It's bullshit! Why would any parent put their children through such pain,
unless the children are actually transgender?
Telling children what to do is a conservative mindset.
It's pure projection, that liberals would be telling their children
what to do and think, because that's what conservatives are doing.
Liberal parents give their children (some) choices. That way children
grow up capable of making choices and value freedom; liberty, liberal.
Conservatives don't like that and that's why 'liberal' is a curse to you.
Liberals actually listen to their children. And if they end up with a boy that likes playing with dolls, they might not rip it out of his little hands and give him a toy car and shout "Boys do not play with dolls!". In your mind, not doing that is grooming. If some boy keeps telling his parents that he is a girl, they might listen to him.
If they allow him to wear a pink dress, that's a really good test to see if he's serious, because his schoolmates will tear him apart for it.
When the now much older boy keeps telling, that he is a girl, at some point liberal parents might take him to a psychologist to determine if he's really transgender. And when a long process confirms they are really dealing with a transgender girl, at some point they might decide he/she can take puberty blockers. That's the maximum gender affirming care that is allowed by law up to the age of 18 and
that is sensible.
Everything else they are telling you are filthy lies. People like Matt Walsh are making lots of money, from telling you what you want to hear, so you can stand outside hospitals to protest against them 'mutilating children', which they are not doing. You have seen no evidence, except Matt Walsh playing some recording
of the right-wing trolls 'Libs of TikTok' speaking with 2 hospital receptionists who just try to transfer them to the right department at the children's hospital.

Where are all those mutilated children? Can you present anything other than
just one or two transgenders who now are saying they regret THEIR decision?
But you are only happy when those kids are forced to shut up by their parents
or taken away by child services to be put with 'proper' conservative parents,
who beat those 'stupid ideas' out of them.
That's what you used to do. And when those children commit suicide, you think "Good, rid yourself and us of your stupid ideas."
Because you don't care about children, but just about your stupid ideas.
The idea that transgenders do not exist, but it's all parents who for some reason like changing boys into girls and girls into boys. Why exactly? For fun?
Grooming means one thing; preparing children for sexual abuse.
Republicans are using that term intentionally, as propaganda.
Just like you were told Russians eat children, during the cold war.
Republicans always need an enemy, because they have nothing else to offer.
Meanwhile it's many Republicans that get caught doing sexual abuse of children.
And you all still keep voting for these horrible pe.do.philes.
I can't look at those pics,1 glance and I still remember it,so I didn't scroll down far enough
How does it relate to tecsan claiming LGBT rights are somehow socialist?
They're not, by the way, socialism is about sharing the benefits of production.
LGBT rights originate from humanist principles of freedom of the individual.
You accused republicans of using propaganda.
to quote,
"Just like you were told Russians eat children, during the cold war.
Republicans always need an enemy, because they have nothing else to offer."
It was fact, and I shared the sad proof.
NOT propaganda as you called it.
Republicans do have enemy's. Have you not noticed a war on conservative radio and tv news? BUT nothing is being done about the liberals lying and ruining peoples reputations?
There was a horrible famine back then, not during the cold war.
Being forced to eat the dead, was not what the propaganda was claiming.
Republicans used such a horrible situation to paint Russians as cannibals.
That's propaganda, even if there is some truth in it.
Do we use such propaganda against Uruguay or it's Old Christians Club rugby union team?

Transgenderism cannot be explained with biology yet, so teachers should just explain the difference between sex and gender, that transgender people exist and what it means.
You want to teach children that some of their schoolmates are not socially acceptable. That's what they did in Germany too, many decades ago. At that time Americans fought against those ideas. You are renouncing the once American value of liberty, that many of your countrymen died for.

Now explain to me how a book that teaches kids to think that people willing to risk their lives by going into harms way to save their lives are menaces is a good thing? That book should be burned.
You see people, what have we been trying to tell you? Men taping their dicks into their butt cracks and growing boobs are NOT WOMEN. They DO have a advantage. Further test will prove even moreso.

uh what part of that quote is difficult to understand?
I see nothing wrong with a review panel of sorts being used on all mur,I mean abortions.
Who is to say a babys life isn't worth more than a crack head ,dead beat mothers that just wants to have it yanked out so she can go back to fucking and shooting up?
That's a dodge, being 'pro-life' also means making a choice sometimes.
That's exactly what the proposed panel should determine;
what is the choice between the life of the mother and the life of the fetus.
I say, it's not up to some Death Panel, it's the choice of the woman about her own body.
And don't use stupid strawman arguments, because every choice has it's limits
and the current limits are already reasonable and justified.
the limits should be very strict. Not impossible because of the rapist and ****'s but strict
Having children takes your life away. If that's your choice, OK,
but to be forced to do that, not OK.
Now if you really care about preventing abortion, give the women you force
into giving birth of an unwanted child 100% certainty of easy adoption
and pay the women for the time, discomfort, lost income and hospital bills.
I have not heard any conservative talk about compensation for the lost rights.
Did someone magically cause her zipper undone?
Did someone deny her birth control?
Did someone deny her a exit from the situation?
In the case of r@pe and 1ncest,I understand the answer to be yes ,someone did, and that someone should be held accountable.
BUT in most cases, the woman allows the sex to happen ,and that is her right ,but decisions have consequences, like a baby as a result. Not the babies fault, but yet in abortion the baby pays the ultimate price.
I can't see any rights being taken at all with abortion bans or regulations.
I see rights being ABUSED by having the rights to a abortion by irresponsible women
The right of bodily autonomy! You know, what was really important to you,
when they wanted you to get a little shot, to fight a pandemic.
The consequences; a 1 in million chance of some harm.
The consequences of taking away women's bodily autonomy; labour,
giving birth, recovery, medical costs, lost income, the costs of taking care of a kid
and lost of worries for at least 18 years. And for what future? It's the US!
"Did someone magically cause her zipper undone?"
On average, there are 463,634 victims (age 12 or older) of r.a.p.e and sexual assault each year in the United States.
And even then, sometimes accidents happen. Having sex is not a reason to be forced into having kids.
"Did someone deny her birth control?"
Not yet, but your supreme court political hacks are thinking about it.
Did someone deny her a exit from the situation?
Same argument as before, see the 2nd and 3rd answers.
Well at least you approve for r@pe and 1ncest, but many states don't.
"BUT in most cases, the woman allows the sex to happen"
I fucking hope so! And I also hope they enjoy it, but with all those conservatives in the US, I fear many women are left unsatisfied, because misogynists don't care.
A 'baby' is a human that is living independently after birth. We are talking about zygotes and fetuses at a gestation before viability. It doesn't pay any price, when it is aborted, because it has no price yet. It only has the value that the woman puts onto it, because it is dependent on her body.
Women have the right to chose now, the right to bodily autonomy. A ban would take that right away. It is a right of self protection. You as a 2nd amendment defender should understand that.
Actually, I think everyone who takes care of a baby should receive payment.
Women have been doing unpaid work way too long, but at least it was by choice.
You are now taking that choice away and force women to take care of children.
Forcing people to do unpaid work is called SLAVERY.
liberals loved it then, but let a gop propose it for abortion and it is just terrible .hypocrisy again.

Section 1233 of bill HR 3200 which would have paid physicians for providing voluntary counseling to Medicare patients about living wills, advance directives, and end-of-life care options.
Of course there are claims it was false,to make the gop look bad.and it was not included in the final bill. but liberals seem to forget they will get old to.
If a health insurance thinks you are not worth their money, they don't pay.
But even they don't forbid you to have the surgery, by punishment of prison,
of the person getting the surgery and the doctor performing it.
However, it this case lawyers will have to decide whether the woman's life is in danger enough, to allow abortion. It wouldn't be up to the doctors, because Republicans created laws that would send a doctor to jail, when politicians do not agree with their assessment of danger to the mother. That's a death panel. And many women will die, while the death panel is considering whether she is in enough mortal danger to save
their lives, by means of abortion.
Aren't Republicans always talking about government overreach? This is it!
Never say impossible. Someone might figure it out tomorrow.
That's possible, if he didn't have gender affirming surgery yet.
But hormone treatment might make that very unlikely.
It would make it likely it would be an unwanted pregnancy, because he would not expect to get pregnant or hormone treatment might mess with contraception.
Actually, there was such a case in the TV series; The Good Doctor.
In my country, anyone who has an unwanted pregnancy, has the right to an abortion, before 24 weeks of gestation by law, but in practice 22 weeks by most doctors, unless the pregnancy is endangering the pregnant person or the fetus has no or low life expectancy. Why would it be different if it was a transgender person?
I think you were messing up your pronouns there a bit.
But, I understand it's hard for you to put your mind around those things.
It may look like a male because of pills and shots and surgery on it's outer shell, but if it is pregnant ,damn it is A FEMALE human being.
It going to get to a point that a fellow will have to pay for a cat scan to make sure he is actually asking a woman to marry him.
What the fuck?
You know, a big store front, surgery and hormones, can only trick people so long before the TRUTH comes out.
If you were born a man, all the surgery in the world is not going to help you to produce viable nutrition for a baby from your fake tits.
Nor will you sprout a womb.
Here's a Repucker that doesn't know what is a woman either
Salt Lake County Council member tells Kamala Harris fetuses are not part of women’s bodies
Because, I might agree with that premise; a fetus is a separate organism.
(They had a point IF the fetus was growing in a machine and not in women's bodies.)
But they don't give a sound or even a valid argument, for why that premise results
in a conclusion that the woman has no right to chose whether to continue supporting
that separate organism.
Up to a point in gestation, that organism is dependent on the woman to survive,
which makes it a parasite by definition.
Unless the woman thinks there is some benefit to her, as host, it is a parasite.
What we do with parasites is: killing them and flush them out of our system.
Google 'what to do with parasites' and see.
IF the woman thinks there is some benefit to her, to have the parasite, it's a 'commensal'.
The woman is completely FREE to support that commensal up to birth. She is the host.
(It would help support that freedom, if society helped more to support lost income during gestation, childbirth and recovery, with free or affordable healthcare and when taking care of the child and parenting, with free or affordable childcare or by compensating for lost income, when people cannot afford to lose that income and because working is not compatible with caring for a child and parenting)
I can make a sound argument for abortion:
- Premise 1: An unwanted pregnancy of a zygote or fetus, before it's viable to survive outside the womb, makes it a parasite by definition.
- Premise 2: Parasites are killed and flushed out of the system, on the host's request.
- Conclusion: An unwanted pregnancy of a zygote or fetus, before it's viable to survive outside the womb should be killed and flushed out of the system on the host's request.
Zygotes and fetuses have their own genetic code and metabolism,
so I do agree they are separate organisms.
The placenta separates the blood of the mother from the blood of the fetus,
but the oxygen, glucose and other nutrients filter through.
However, a parasite is: an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense.
That fits for zygotes and fetuses. They only survive and grow by deriving nutrients
at the mother's expense. So it's not an INDEPENDENT organism.
That's the trick they use; confusing 'separate' and 'independent'.
They are dependent on tricks, because they don't have real arguments.
They can get a premise right sometimes, but they are incapable of providing
any complete valid or sound argument. But they don't need to, for THEIR audience.
WHY? What is your argument?
People don't have abortions if they get pregnant by their willing actions.
How can you put so much nonsense in just one short sentence.
'Close them legs' ... It all boils down to sex.... Why do you hate it so much?
Vasectomies are for people who never want to have children (again). Some people just don't want a child NOW. For example, when they just lost their job, because of
a recession and they are forced into food-lines or they risk losing their home like
60 million Americans experienced, due to Trump fucking up in fighting a pandemic.
It wasn't a good time for being pregnant and needing hospital care. Can we at least agree on that?
There is nothing to correct, because there is no point.
Closed legs, no babies.
vasecotmys,no babies.
no abortions needed.
And I don't what planet you are from but in the big city locally women do just fuck recklessly and stop in at the clinic like they were getting their hair done.
That shit needs to stop. Murder is murder.
According to you, they're all lazy and should be deprived of any social benefits or they'll just sit on their ass all day. The American women get abortions just like they were getting their hair done. And American parents would send their kids to clinics to get their private parts cut off, unless right-wingers 'protect' them. Americans who smoke a bit of weed should be locked up forever or just executed, to be sure they don't turn into drug addicts. Americans who want to use another restroom just want to ra.pe. If you don't arm yourself, Americans come take your stuff and kill you.
I would imagine you would love abortion. It prevents more Americans from being born. Are you sure you want all those extra horrible Americans around?

You are in poverty and bad health, because you are brainwashed into thinking people deserve nothing, so the rich can take everything. They point you to some imaginary enemy and you are fooled. They are laughing how easy it is.
Do you even look at your own links? One is some repost from a stupid Twitter account on a just as stupid Australian, right-wing, ideologue, fake-news website and the other is mostly confirming that right-wingers are going mad over the newest fake outrage story. Are they supposed to be credible references?
But I have seen evidence on people threatening that hospital and hospitals like that. Just look on YouTube and see Matt Walsh asking for violence against that hospital. By the way, according to US laws, that's a violation that transgresses limits on freedom of speech, so Matt Walsh should be banned from YouTube,
at least temporary. He has clearly caused danger for the hospital and patients.
Why would hospitals do such a thing? Profit motives?
Maybe reconsider your for-profit privatized healthcare system then.

Most Americans are pro-choice and lots more are not as extremely pro-life as the Republicans are now pushing. The Republicans fear it will make them lose the midterms.
"Lord, please God, don’t make me scrub clothes in a bucket and have to hang them out on the line when we switch over to wind turbines and solar panels,” the Republican House member said.
She also seemed to suggest that these technologies would prevent people from keeping the lights on at night.
“I like the lights on. I want to stay up later at night. I don’t want to have to go to bed when the sun sets,” Rep. Greene added.
She doesn’t know what storage batteries are for.
Actually, she doesn’t know. 🤪
One complete lunatic in that room is statistically probable.
But the whole crowd was cheering for that stupidity.
Republicans really lift up the most ignorant among them, don't they?
At least I hope so, or it means that the rest was even dumber!
When the sun don't shine and the wind don't blow, there are still many other technologies that can provide renewable energy. Sun and wind are just the most economically beneficial ones, because they are so much cheaper than fossil fuels.
And it's not like we couldn't keep a few old-tech-powerplants standing backup, for when all weather dependent renewable energy systems take a day off simultaneously.
This is not that difficult to understand. Why do people listen to a dumb-ass like her?
Now we have the timeing saving machines to wash our clothes effortlessly. We went from stones in the creek to washboards to gas powered machines in the 20's and up to the weird shit we have now.
Windmills and solar panels ,make electricity. But do they make enough? Battery's store it, do they store enough?
Have you added up the cost of a solar pack and battery back up system enough to power a entire home?
Most of the folks that live with "off grid" power have went back to washing clothes by hand and using a clothes line. WHY? because they can't afford a system large enough to power a clothes dryer. A resistance heat source, like a dryer element is the least efficient use of energy of any type. study it.
You understand the progress we went through, but than you prefer to get stuck in the 20's with those gas powered machines. Most people (at least in the rest of the world) understand that those gas powered machines will be the end of us and want to progress beyond them.
When you have only a solar panel, if you are that "off grid" person, you have way more than just being "off grid". Than at least you can run your electric washing machine during the day. If you than add a wind turbine and geothermal heating, it starts looking civilized. If you than add hydro-power from the stream nearby, your getting pretty well coverage. You understand that, because you were thinking about that. Now connect that to a million times the size, to a smart grid and everyone is covered. It might take some storage capacity, but it isn't absolutely necessary. It is possible to cover 80% of the electricity and massively reduce CO2 emissions AND have much cheaper electricity.
It sounds fun. I also love seeing steam engines and I loved
the light of gas lighting we had once on a vacation in Germany.
Those are all things that are fun for having sometimes,
like grilling meat over a coal fire.
But they are all technologies we have to abandon for daily use,
and progress to new technologies that burn less fossil fuels.
It is the only option to keep living like we are living now.
If we wait too long, that option will not be enough to save us anymore
and then we will have no option left, other then using no technology.
Because maybe you think it will happen past your life, but there are more
people who have more life in front of them and they will demand their future.
And people who have their future taken away, make dangerous enemies.
Green was not using sarcasm. She is just plain ignorant and too lazy to do the research
True, it's not as effective as Trump painting his hair yellow and his skin orange.
No one can match that.
Now my only option for the future is ever shorter hair.
Haven't seen Trump wearing sunglasses much, but Kim Jong-un wears great ones.
People matter, when they have thoughts and feelings and hopes and dreams.
But as you requested, here's some information on fetal brain development:
only registered users can see external links
In The Netherlands, we have a limit on abortion of 24 weeks. At that time their is just enough brain activity for the fetus to kick. It's possible it could feel pain, but so do a mouse and a chicken, which are much further developed than the brain of a fetus at 24 weeks. And you don't seem to want to force everyone to be vegetarians.
But because we don't like the idea, I support fetus sedation between 20 and 24 weeks or earlier at request. Feeling pain is not enough to call the fetus a 'person'. However, those late term abortions are very rare and mostly performed when the fetus would have extensive birth defects and in many case would not even survive.
In The Netherlands, 59% of abortions take place in the first 8 weeks, 84% in the first 12 weeks and only 2,7% between week 20 and 23, when the 20 week echo shows defects, which were not discovered previously.
I know this much; at 24 weeks in gestation, I was not thinking what I would do after
I got out. Everyone knows they were not a person at that time. That's why your speculation is in no way convincing.
Wow, we just lifted the discussion to the highest level.
Yes. That's clearly indicated here.
And I'm sure people aren't getting angry about other people holding the door
for them in the US either.
It's just you diminishing real grievances of people, to shit like this.
Grievances about people like you, who are incapable of normal human interaction,
as soon as the person is a little bit different from you.
Just treat people like human beings, it's not that difficult.
It's a YOU problem, not a 'left loon BS' problem.
Isn't The Netherlands a loony lefty country, according to you?
I think it's a obtuse right-wing buffoon problem,
which is consistent with the location of the problem.
I was born as a male. I do not have a womb ,or ovaries or other items that a female has.
Even if I had the big snip and had some store bought boobs put in I would still not be a WOMAN because I have no womb. Womb ,woman, see the similarity???
And besides, regardless of what was going thru my mind and i had the big snip,I am a ugly grey haired old man with a gut, I would be a ugly grey haired old man with a gut and store bought boobs that would have to struggle to sit down and git up off the shitter everytime I took a pee. No improvement.
Just look at that circus clown that biden put in charge of something to do with health in washington. SO OBVIOUSLY a fat old man in a skirt. Sickening to look at.
Who's to say a person not feeling like their gender is not like many other issues you can be born with.
a quick google result.
Mental disorders linked by genetic traits
Schizophrenia.
Bipolar disorder.
Major depressive disorder.
Autism spectrum disorders.
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
What are some illnesses you can be born with?
What Types of Birth Defects Are There?
heart problems such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome, transposition of the great arteries, and tetralogy of Fallot.
spina bifida.
orofacial cleft.
clubfoot.
Down syndrome.
hemophilia.
congenital dislocated hip.
Tay-Sachs disease.
So if these and many other issues can affect a person from birth, Scientist need to do more to prove that gender confusion is not another 1 of these issues.
As for women becoming men, well yea, a sack of balls can be sewed on, hormones can make hair grow, tits can be cut off. BUT until there is a prostate, NO man.
We have no idea how the brain works.
We have theory's and educated guess's.
At least if we look at a testical, we know it is male. If we see womb we know it is woman.
You nor I can see in a brain and know if it is ok or not.
If you have Dissociative Identity Disorder, how it is diagnosed? Dr's do test and such to prove what they say.
And why isn't something cut off or augmented in some way to fix it?
Dissociative Identity Disorder is the nearest thing to gender questioning. because you are 1 thing in the physical sense but another in your mind,2 of you so to speak.
Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) A mental health condition, people with dissociative identity disorder (DID) have two or more separate personalities. These identities control a person's behavior at different times. DID can cause gaps in memory and other problems

Why? Why do we have to be sure? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you can be pretty sure it's a duck.

Phart, you are stretching. DID doesn't work like you suggest
What causes dissociative identity disorder (DID)? DID is usually the result of sexual or physical abuse during childhood. Sometimes it develops in response to a natural disaster or other traumatic events like combat. The disorder is a way for someone to distance or detach themselves from trauma.May 25, 2021
People that want to change gender do so with a clear mind. They do so fully aware of what they want and expect. DID sufferers have no control of their disorder. Accept it, Phart, people who want a gender change do so because it would be more normal to be of the other gender. No more nor less. Anything else is problematic for OTHER people.
At least if we look at a testical, we know it is male. If we see womb we know it is woman.
Why? Why do we have to be sure? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you can be pretty sure it's a duck.
I just want to say thanks, that comment really is true, now why is it so hard to define a woman. You are one right, if you prefer to be a man then tell me and I would be ok with it. But back to walk and talk like a duck, that has worked for years.
In any case, it's unnatural to suppress people's natural tendencies. The only reason you are doing it, is because you were taught to fear and distrust anyone who is different and you are consuming media that is enforcing those ideas every single fucking day. I think that is causing a mental health condition in you.
You are all unnaturally fearful and distrusting of other people.
It's called Pistanthrophobia. However most right-wingers seem to have that condition and I assume there is something underdeveloped or incorrectly wired
in your logical reasoning centers too, because once an idea has lodged inside your brains, no amount of consistently contradicting data, valid arguments, solid evidence or real world experience can ever teach you your ideas are false.
And something folks don't think about,perhaps even YOU have not given this much thought.is the effect of drug use on the genetic makeup of offspring. If you will notice, the % of humans being "trans" or confused, has went up since the 50's-60's. That is also when the use of pot, acid, cocaine and other drugs became more common place. When a woman uses drugs,and then becomes pregnant, it is very possible the drugs have negative effects on the brain of the fetus.
Just as they affect the womans brain during use.
Left and right are economical positions.
Conservative and liberal (woke) are human rights vs traditions positions.
People can be socially liberal or economically liberal or both.
I am socially liberal (woke) and economically progressive (left).
Economically progressive (left) is the opposite of economically liberal (right).
Go figure!
You can't see the difference, because the US only has two parties.
There is conservative leftism and a progressive right-wing in my country.
There are anti-immigration lefties who hate wokism AND right-wingers who
love tax-cuts for the rich and fight against a higher minimum wage, BUT are perfectly fine with abortion, gay marriage and other LGBTQIA+ woke rights.
Mind blown, right?
To me that Q for 'Queer' was difficult to pin down. At that time I understood that it represented everyone who did not fully identify with the other four. But they also had LGBT+ and LGTBQ+, for which the '+' represented everyone else.
So I thought. But then they added IAPK (making LGBTQIAPK+). The 'A' for 'Asexual' I understand. All the other letters (and maybe the '+' too) represented sexual attraction or sexual identity, so then Asexual is a separate category (...sure). Then the Intersex people came along, and I imagine them saying that 'T' doesn't really represent us, everyone else gets a letter, even though we are born intersex and you all other people had to find out later, so we don't want to be represented by just a '+', we want our own letter 'I'. Which is off course very reasonable, so sure, we add the 'I'. And then the Pansexual people came along, saying 'We are different than the Bisexual people!'. I don't really understand the difference myself, but they obviously made their case well, so the 'P' was added. I imagine the '+' used to be good enough for them before, but when everyone else gets a letter, you want a letter yourself. Yep, that's understandable, you get your letter. Anyone else? And then the kinky people answered. They said 'You cannot even imagine the things we came up with, that all is not covered in the other letters.'. Which is a good argument, because kinks are redefining sexuality, like no other before. So they gave em their letter pretty quickly, I imagine, before they were incentivized to legitimize their claim to their own letter, with evidence.
So that's how we ended up with so many letters. I could have described it in a more woke way, so I hope I don't offend anyone, but even though I am pretty woke, there are limits to my pandering to it. I just think everyone is free to do as they please, if they don't hurt anyone, who is not asking for that.
You can say woke shit sucks, but look at the bright side;
there will never be a reason to get bored with sex!
If you ever get bored with sex, it's your own lack of imagination, because people are very creative and invented lots of ways to explore their identity and sexuality, to fill a thousand lifetimes. If you want to limit yourself to just 0.001% of all those endless possibilities, you are selling yourself short. Unless you are a Hindu or a Buddhist, you believe in only one life. Now maybe you believe in an afterlife (I don't, but if you do); would you be allowed to explore those endless possibilities in heaven or hell? ...I hope so, or eternity would end up
to be fucking boring after a while.
Do you have a book?

If it turned out Trump had a pussy, would you call him a woman?
Sometimes, the sex organs in their undies, do not define the person's gender.
Our two most well-known transgenders are Kelly van der Veer and Nikkie de Jager. They were both born as a boy and had sex change operation and hormone treatments. They are legally female now. I see no reason to call those people 'men', just because they were born as males. They don't have a dick anymore, so they are women, according to definitions that some people have given on this site.
Why would you even want to keep calling those people 'men'? What is in it for you?
Dave Chappelle's jokes were good jokes. But because transgenders are the easiest to poke fun at, of all people and all subjects, I found it a bit lazy. I think there are levels of humor morality. Making fun about a situation doesn't hurt anyone's feelings and is the hardest. I think it's the highest level of comedy. Making fun about people's ideas is a level lower. People might take offense, but ideas are voluntary, so it's their own responsibility if it's easy to make fun of their ideas. The bottom level of comedy is making fun of people's identity or disability. People cannot help or escape their identity or disability, so many have agreed that it shouldn't be a subject for humor anymore, because it could hurt the people who are disadvantaged already. I'm not calling for laws to forbid it or wanting them to be 'cancelled',
but I just think it's a bit lazy and might not watch their comedy anymore.
There is a gap in humor, where people are allowed to make fun about their own disadvantaged group or disability. A black man can get away with black jokes easier than a white man. I cannot explain why exactly, but it is. So, if Dave Chappelle likes transgender jokes that much, he could invest in a sex change operation and appropriate easy material for himself, for the rest of his career.
What a fucking loser. The Econ major can't even sort out her own finances.
Don't do as the liberals do, do as they say do.

Ridiculous, and to think Americans put these morons in office, just because they hated Trump. So what will happen when womens rights are in jeopardy? Are they going to refuse to acknowledge women are different from men then?? Womens rights should not even be a thing if the lawmakers are going to refuse to acknowledge there are basic differences between men and women.
Other middle of the road states who knows.. but the states in the south are generally very conservative and Christian. To that point, not shocking they are pro-lifers as are the politicians in these states that were duly elected... to do the will of the people.
The ruling on Friday does NOT outlaw abortion as Brandon and the libs want to you believe. It is classic Federalism: return these choices to the states to decide. And fuck bags like AbosLekker just don't understand how the US works. So fuck him as always. Never seen a cunt so concerned about another country he does not even live in.
As far as the fuck bags and crazies out protesting and being violent- Grow the fuck up. Be an adult for once. Protest peacefully if you must. Even better- get a job! Ever notice all these protests during the work week are essentially the same people!? They don't care about the issue most of the time. Only out to be paid by the crazy left groups. Engineered to stir up trouble and chaos.
Shit bag Biden 2022- Heading to Saudi Arabia with a beggars cup at best demanding more oil... for the myriad of problems he caused!
Remember when the US was 100% energy independent? That was under TRUMP.
This shit bag and the libs have done everything possible to create this problem from day one.
consumer spending is way down,people can't afford anything.
I've trained myself to not want much
do that I be happy.
Everything I own is used and I thoroughly enjoy that. I reuse everything too,
and grow my own vegetables.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in Leon County circuit court by Congregation L’Dor Va-Dor, seeks to block the law from taking effect July 1.
The lawsuit filed Friday by the Palm Beach County congregation also contends that the law violates religious-freedom rights.
“For Jews, all life is precious and thus the decision to bring new life into the world is not taken lightly or determined by state fiat,” the lawsuit said. “In Jewish law, abortion is required if necessary to protect the health, mental or physical well-being of the woman, OR FOR MANY OTHER REASONS not permitted under the act (the new law). As such, the act prohibits Jewish women from practicing their faith free of government intrusion and thus violates their privacy rights and religious freedom.”

so attack their political decision with constitutional and First Amendment rights.
Maybe some pro-choice Christians could also sue the state for banning their religious freedom right, to force their cheating wife to take the modern equivalent of 'bitter water', which is take a paternity test and force the wife to have an abortion, if the husband isn't the father. It's a biblical right.
1 of many things that seems to be acceptable nowadays.
Women were more or less ignored or banished so to speak if people knew they had a abortion or were disloyal to their husbands .Considered unfit to be a loyal wife or loving mother ever again.
Punishment for being unfaithful can be practiced in many other ways than ending the pregnancy. The bible obviously doesn't consider the value of the unborn. Actually it doesn't put much value on the born either. The bible is filled with texts about smashing babies against the rocks, killing firstborns, child sacrifice and threatening to cut a child in half to investigate who is the real mother. To the bible, children are property.
I can not get pregnant.
Jerry Clower the comedian told a story about the womens libers and how his wife was able to drive a nice car,and etc and she didn't want those women's libers messing with the deal she had.
Women have shot themselves in the foot.
Women used to try to be attractive ,took care of themselves, sought out a mate that would take care of them.
Now they wear their damn pajama's to the steakhouse in bedroom shoes and their hair chopped off and looking like a drunk.
BUT MEN on the other hand better be trim and muscle bound and hung with plenty of money wearing the latest styles.
There was guns back 100 years ago. But until everyone got woke, were they used to do mass shootings of innocent kids?
Could it be your Non traditional,woke ,liberal values taking religion, and the anthem and discipline out of the schools prompted the decay of our entire country's moral?
What is old fashioned about having a partner,a wife?
Why is it considered old fashioned to look after and provide for those you love? why is that wrong?
The world is on the verge of collapse into the bowels of hell and the radical liberal mindset is the rocket fuel for the sled.
If you walk around looking for a "bad boy" with a long dick, most likely he has a hard fist to.
Find a decent man,that will love you and treat you like a human being.
What a joke.
No algebra needed.
I have watched and am watching to many people I know deal with side effects of that so called vaccine to ever take into my body.
What happened?
The schools have gotten so far away from providing a real education to the kids.
They believe in total control
They want to be able to tell you what you do for a living and how much you earned
They want to do away with anything that might kill us
They want to do away with all fossil fuel
Why don’t they just put us all in our own plastic bubbles while they are at it
I for one am a free spirit and can not be controlled and I will buck them every step of the way even if it means using desperate measures
"They want to be able to tell you what you do for a living.." HOW? Republicans are actively fighting education to not teach any thinking skills, mathematical, logical, critical, creatively or otherwise. It means your education will only create burger flippers and warehouse workers. Employees who cannot think are useless to most employers.
People who have not learned how to think critically are willing victims to anyone desiring to rule over them.
"..and how much you earned" As in a minimum? Which has not been done except for government workers. If you want that control fully in the hands of businesses, employees would be earning less than minimum wage. How do people pay for food and a roof over their heads on (much) less than minimum wage?
"They want to do away with anything that might kill us" Like starvation? Like an easily treatable illness? Like getting murdered by crazy racists? Like getting electrocuted, because employers don't want to shut off machinery during maintenance? What do Democrats support not killing you, that any sane person thinks shouldn't kill anyone?
Oh, maybe you mean like pandemics, for which we invented vaccines in 1798?
"They want to do away with all fossil fuel" All Democrats? Not guys like Joe Manchin,
who make money from fossil fuels. Some of them get the idea that fossil fuels are killing the earth that supports (human) life. I don't see them acting much on that idea.
"Why don’t they just put us all in our own plastic bubbles" ???? Because giving people freedom to have abortions and sex changes if they desire it is your own plastic bubble?
It is one of your own choice then. Is a minimum wage putting people in a plastic bubble? Not having minimum wage, a plastic bag might be the only roof they can afford.
Is going to renewable energy putting you in a plastic bubble? Not doing that will make everyone feel like they are living in a plastic bag in a few decades (hot from climate change and suffocating from polluted air).
How are you a free spirit, if you support taking away people's freedom to choose
AND freedom for teachers to teach critical thinking skills to children (that's CRT)
AND freedom from religion that wants to take away peoples freedoms
AND freedom from exploitation by employers?
Up is down and down is up with you people.
What did Pink Floyd sing about back in the 1960s

Hey teacher leave those kids alone
To be truthful high school was boring the living hell out of me and they weren’t teaching me any thing I needed to know I was a straight A student in mathematics biology earth science chemistry but the rest was only waisting my time I all ready knew what I was doing for a living at 12 years old
The chance of that now is much lower.

It's NOT the knowledge of mathematics, biology, earth science and chemistry that will help children to be valuable in the economy, it's that they learn to think while they learn new things. Additionally, a good teacher doesn't teach WHAT a student needs to know, but HOW to obtain, understand and build on new information themselves.
Valuable employees are able to think and learn independently, identify a problem and solve it, be cooperative and creative and improve how work is done by themselves and colleagues. You have acknowledged yourself how hard it is to find good employees. That's because they breed them stupid nowadays. You literally have to spell anything out for them, because they cannot think for themselves. If you don't stimulate children's brains, they will grow up to be little monkeys. You can only teach them easy tricks and they will be worth peanuts.
They control where we work because they over regulate the use of land.as in won't allow drilling, won't allow fracking , stop pipelines, and etc.
The republicans are not against the trades taught in school,they are against the wokeism and demonization of patriotism and trying to tell 6 year old boys they can pee in the girls rest room. that kind of shit .Wake up and smell reality. This woke shit is breaking down the moral of the country and those that support it are borderline domestic terrorist.
People go to far sometimes thinking up new letters for the LGBTQIA+, because individualism has been made into a religion. That doesn't mean people don't have the right to be different or that you need to be a dick to different people. Why are you so fucking triggered if a teacher might point out that there are all sorts of different people? How fragile are you, for thinking everyone would change everything about themselves, by just giving them the idea? You must think being gay or trans is so attractive, that just trying it for a day would convert people for ever. You see a r*a*p*i*s*t in everyone who tries something different, while they are not thinking about sex, but identity. Don't take out your frustrations on others, these people are not bothering you. If you are jealous, live out you own fantasies, that's freedom.
On the whole patriotism thing; if blindly following a billionaire conman who almost succeeded in overthrowing the election and starting a dictatorship, is patriotism to you, your ideas on the matter suck. It is not erasing history about slavery as the reason for a civil war and the subjugation of a race after it. Looking back at the mistakes from history, creates a better future. Building a society takes a lot of work. If you think a society can be build better by destroying it first, take a look at what is left in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those are just religious wingnuts, who hate freedom and treat women like property? Yes, just like you!
I am fully awake and just smell racism being cultivated by propaganda. It's payed for by the rich who want to blame you for your unrewarding existence, by looking down to people who are suffering harder, instead of up to the selfish bastards who are bathing in the money that you worked blood, sweat and tears for or almost died for.
Wake up and smell reality!
But now, the schools don't even have a shop class ,a green house, a home economics class .Nothing of the sort.
1 high school in my county had a shop class up to 2 years ago ,and were still teaching brick laying and so forth. BUT from what i heard, it was being canceled.
1 school out of the entire county. All high schools did have it.
It catches up with people when you see 20 somethings on the side of the road with a simple flat tire on the telephone.
the story I heard a few months ago,a freinds daughter was on a date and her boy friends car blew a tire. He was so boastful about knowing how to put the donut spare on the car.The man who daughter he was dating is a mechanic and when they pulled back up in the yard with the spare on the car,he ask what happened."We had a blow out and I FIXED IT"
"Ok,well bring the flat tire in the shop here and I will see if it can be repaired or i may have 1 I can give you."
"Oh we left that flat thing on the side of the road,it was flat". It so happened he had a set of custom wheels on the car, and they went back to get the wheel so it could be fixed, GONE.
Some one picked it up and left with it.
He replaced the tire but didn't have the common sense to keep the flat tire and wheel to repair and reinstall.
Its also amazing that they get this money so easily but can't get a mortgage or a credit. The game is rigged for sure.
I sent to USC and would never do that today. Current cost of a 4-year degree at USC: $320K. Anyone not getting a degree in business, finance, medicine etc is getting ripped off.
That's the system you prefer. I studied for 10 years and ended up with a debt of around $20,000 that I have long paid off. Because taxes paid for the rest.
It this Anti-American rat ever happy? Or, as I suspect just a Dutch muppet?
I wouldn't be Anti-American, if you were smarter and at least
not complain about your own mess. Own it!
Phart is talking about teachers that taught him skills. What skills do you think will be valuable in 20 years? Because the required skills change every day.
It depends on the sector you work in, but in most sectors of industry, whatever school teaches is obsolete very quickly.
All book smarts my education gave me is completely useless today. The practical skill I learned were useful at first, but I don't use those today either. What my education gave me was the ABILITY TO LEARN. That is based on COMMON SENSE, but not that gut feeling you think it is. It is logical thinking, recognizing errors, efficiency, planning, root cause analysis, problem solving, technical writing skills and the scientific method that brought me to where I am today and what makes me a valuable team member for my employer. If you think people with just a college diploma would be able to do my job with just common sense, you are mistaken.
The jobs that don't require education and just require some common sense or the skills that I think phart is talking about are becoming scarce. If that is the education you give them, all but a few will become burger flippers and warehouse workers. America will just have to get with the times or lose to the competition.
So everyone does not HAVE to have a bachelors degree to be valuable to the economy.
People need money to buy homes and cars and to pay taxes to build the roads.
The construction industry accounts for roughly 4.3% of U.S. GDP:

Automakers and their suppliers are America’s largest manufacturing sector, responsible for 3% of America’s GDP:

Take a look at what percentage of employees are in construction and car manufacturing. Besides, if the American car manufacturers don't evolve their cars, they will only be producing for the US market. Tesla is already losing a lot
of market share to other brands, who make better quality electric cars.
Except for construction and the services sectors (which pays like shit),
most can be automated or outsources to countries where labor is cheaper
or at some point where people still get a good education.
Innovation requires education. Stagnation means decline.
Does a socialist need to teach you the rules of capitalism?
Most of US history gets deleted or edited from schoolbooks, because it's not patriotic.
Children cannot tell if they are different or their parents are different, because you think children are not ready to know anything about that.
In Florida they are cancelling all the books that explain logical thinking, because they call that CRT.
Conservatives want to teach creationism or intelligent design as an alternative to evolution. It's not, evolution is science the others religion.
Off course even a hint of climate change science is forbidden, while it's a discussion about the future of those children, whether you think it's true or not.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Really, you want to teach lies that a guy can get pregnant and have an abortion." is a stupid straw-man.
"'they' (bet you liked that pronoun)" I only use 'they', when we are talking about people in general. If I see a man, I say 'he', if I see a woman, I say 'her', if I don't know, I ask, but that has never happened to me before and I have never been asked to call someone anything else than 'he' or 'she'.
"How would you get your lunch everday."
If you think burgers are lunch, you are killing yourself. I make my own lunch or my girlfriend does it for me.
"those type of jobs need to be done too. How would you get your lunch everday" If you refer to any job that provides food for people; Sure, but not by people who hardly have money to eat themselves. If those jobs are necessary, than pay them enough to live on. Phart always says that burger flippers are not worth more money, when he also argues we need them for food. Why are people who provide food, paid the least? They are either important and deserve enough money to live or those jobs are not important and than those people should spend their working time on jobs that are more important.
My girlfriend works in catering. It adds to our combined income, but it's not a lot. Single income colleagues of my girlfriend, working 40 hours/week, make enough money to live on, but just barely. At least they have healthcare and can send their kids to school. If those kids are smart, they can outgrow their past, without being thrown into debt they can never recover from. Our right-wing government has made that more difficult the past decades, so if the people don't wise up and vote better, we will decline to the level of the US.
That's when only rich kids can get any education and all the other Americans can't.
It's how the rich maintain their preferred social structure, keep themselves on top and you on the bottom, while they keep telling you about the 'American dream'.
""Another Brick in the Wall" is a three-part composition on Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera The Wall, written by bassist Roger Waters. "Part 2", a protest song against corporal punishment, and rigid and abusive schooling."
The exact opposite of allowing kids to be different.
The beginning features a boy getting scolded by his teacher for a poem.
"All in all you're just another brick in the wall"
You are just a slave, building your own wall, between you and freedom.
Look at the video, read the lyrics.

"We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey, teachers, leave those kids alone
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
Wrong, do it again
If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
Schools have been working to eliminate exactly what is in this music video.
They have stimulated kids to be different and nurture their talents.
And you see that as WOKE and want to return to 'rigid and abusive schooling'.
Don't tell me it was anything progressive around 1970 in the US.
So it was conservative horse shit, but you still think that's good for children.
At least you made it to a position that can provide you a good income.
The chance of that these days is much lower.
When I see people struggling, they had lower education, when I see people
doing pretty good, they had at least secondary vocational education.
That's not different in the US. Social mobility is lower in the US.
The stories about people who went from rags to riches are exceptions and
mostly happened in the past. Even people who made it in sports or as actors
have at least average education these days.
The world is probably already doomed, but it will get more shit every day.
It's the choices we all make each day and the choices that are made for us,
that decide, not just the future in 20, 50 or 100 years, but every next day.
Your side thinks it's a good idea to take away some pink haired kid, who doubts his sexuality, from his liberal parents and put him with conservative foster parents who beat that shit out of him or r*a*p*e him. It's not, he will grow up resenting everyone, until he snaps some day. Maybe it'll be you, because you remind him of his abusive foster dad or his mindfuck was successful and he hates his own and other's 'wickedness', you make the wrong move at him and he disembowels you.
And don't think your guns will protect you, you're not Rambo.
Capitalism means rich people own everything and money = power.
When the government owns everything, that's communism.
They used to, now they are just as corrupt as Republicans.
There now is just the conservative corporatist party and
the fake-woke corporatist party, playing the gullible people
out against each other.
That's why all the corporists Democrats and the media united
against Bernie Sanders over a corrupt centrist with dementia.
If they are all so progressive they would have at the least
tolerated Bernie Sanders, the most popular politician in the US.

'Democrat' as in 'supporting the Democratic party' or 'democrat' as 'supporting democracy'?
Look, 2 definitions, from the dictionary, which doesn't describe anything accurately,
but you think that's the correct answer.
I'm a democrat, as I support democracy. I hope the Democrats here (with a capital D) define themselves as a response to your challenge. It's a big diverse club, if people feel represented by people as different as A.O.C. and Joe Manchin.
So do you define yourself as a Republican, a republican, a conservative, a Trump supporter, an anti-liberal, all of the above, none of the above, something different
or can you not define yourself either?
Do you say that because you still believe those gutless Democrats pulled of the biggest unproven voter fraud in history or do you finally understand that voting doesn't do shit, because all politicians are bribed by corporations?
Or maybe because your two-party, winner-take-all political system doesn't really provide adequate representation?
Believe in the Christian way. All others are heretics.

Climate change has been happening since the earth was formed and will continue until it is is swallowed by the sun.
There Is NOTHING in the Constitution saying you are to get any free education. Much less college.
A veteran Harlem lawmaker blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for backing her rival in the Democratic primary and vowed that the socialist firebrand’s “defund the police” agenda will be roundly rejected.
“AOC supports defunding the police. My community opposes defunding the police,” said Assemblywoman Inez Dickens, who is seeking re-election to a fourth term after previously serving in the City Council.
Ocasio-Cortez is backing housing activist Delsenia Glover in the 70th Assembly District against incumbent Dickens.
As The Post reported Monday, AOC has endorsed a slate of insurgent candidates along with the left-wing Working Families Party in a bid to topple seven veteran assembly incumbent Democrats, including Dickens.
What a stupid cunt.
AOC- the same cunt who can't explain basic basic economics, but has a degree in economics. A total muppet.
If Aoc kept quite and was naked,she wouldn't look half bad,but when that mouth opens stupid comes out.
Anyone that thinks defunding the police is a good idea, well they are fucking idiots and morons. But, they do not want to stop there, they want to defund the Country. Look at inflation. We all know russia has very little to do with it as well as gas prices.
Liberalism is a disease. Just a bunch of miserable people.
Men do not have a "flow". A period. Women have that.
A google search can define the job of a tampon. Men don't have menstrual cycles.
Tampons are one method of absorbing menstrual flow during your period. Tampons are designed to be inserted into the vagina with or without an applicator. You may be surprised to learn that the FDA regulates tampons as medical devices. Tampons cleared by the FDA are meant to be used one time and then thrown away.
The idea itself isn't that bad:
"Signed into law by Governor Kate Brown, the Menstrual Dignity Act states that ‘all public institutions of education’ must provide free pads and tampons in school bathrooms starting this fall. With the growing awareness of period poverty, the goal is to help students who may be unable to access or afford such products and ensure that successful learning isn’t prevented from that essential need. The bill states that schools must have menstrual products available in a minimum of two restrooms for this upcoming school year."
But adding that they "need to consider all-gender access to the products" sounds like they are asking for trouble. If this is done by a Democrat, that person needs to have their head examined. But I see the possibility that is was a Republican, who saw a chance to instigate a nice outrage.

Good lord I just google it she’s that old and ugly she should be wearing the tampon box over her head to hide her face so I don’t turn to stone when I look at her
with her age,and college degrees and such,she really could have been a good thing .but her head is in some other hemisphere.
She has no real understanding of how the real world works.
We even have a supreme court justice that was placed there because she is a black woman, BUT even SHE could not define woman.
Even GOOGLE gets it right.

noun
noun: woman; plural noun: women
an adult female human being.
- adult
- female
- human being
They didn't ask for the dictionary definition. If they did, they are stupid.
She's a judge, not a linguist. If you are going to give dictionary definitions,
for the three underlying concepts, you're stupid too.
When Marsha Blackburn asked Ketanji Brown Jackson to define "woman," she said
"I'm not a biologist.". If she wanted the constitutional definition, there is none and
Ketanji Brown Jackson tried to explain that. Maybe the 3 judges Republicans put in
are at that level of stupid, but Ketanji Brown Jackson is a real judge.
No biology needed to define "woman".
"A type of engine, adjective
1. motor
2. machine"
Dictionary definitions just give synonyms or the meaning of a word.
Women ---- adult female human being
Female ---- a female animal or plant
(note that 'female' is used to describe 'female'. That causes infinite regression)
Neither “women” nor “sex” are words that appear in the Constitution
We can find: "Adjective denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) which can be fertilized by male gametes."
It is the description for the female SEX. This says nothing about gender.
And this definition excludes woman after menopause, because they don't produce gametes anymore. So the official Oxford definition is also wrong.
GENDER:
"Either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female.
"a condition that affects people of both genders"
Members of a particular gender considered as a group.
social interaction between the genders"
the fact or condition of belonging to or identifying with a particular gender.
video ads will target users based only on age and gender"
2. (in languages such as Latin, French, and German) each of the classes (typically masculine, feminine, common, neuter) of nouns and pronouns distinguished by the different inflections which they have and which they require in words syntactically associated with them. Grammatical gender is only very loosely associated with natural distinctions of sex.
Go back to when the constitution was written and see the definition of gender and sex that was used.
But they didn't write those definitions down in the constitution, they explicitly
wrote a document giving all sorts of personal freedoms to people and all sorts of checks and balances for the government not to infringe on those freedoms.
Off course the founders didn't know that we at any point would be able to give people hormones and hormone blockers and could do surgery to change a dick into a pussy and a flat chest into boobs, without the patient bleeding out and in most cases turn boys into convincing girls and even into beauty pageant winners. But I'm sure they knew about gay men. Those guys in wigs all had their boy bitches to suck their cocks at their disposal.

Because saying 'adult FEMALE human being' is not explaining anything.
And the Oxford dictionary definition of 'gender'. (google's standard)
Now all of a sudden it's BS?
After you wanted the judge to give dictionary definitions?
"A human being born with a vagina"? Is that what you want to hear?
What does that say about the right to have a sex change operation?
Is the constitution saying anything about that?
Off course not, because they didn't have that back then.
How about human rights? Lot's about that in the constitution!
Find me something applicable in it then. It's your constitution!
You really want to hear it meet me on my page in pm...
Do not worry you will be in a safe place...
Wokeness is the only thing going for the Democrats at the moment.
But, I don't see Biden saying much woke things and doing even less.
He could legalized weed with one signature, but he doesn't do it.
He speaks out against banning abortion and that's it. 'Too late, sorry.'
Harris is nowhere to be seen (at least from where I live, but do you see her anywhere?), so whatever personal ideas she has, doesn't do anything.
But the primary wins or likely wins of Summer Lee, John Fetterman and Jamie McLeos-Skinner against massive PAC money supporting corporate Blue Dogs, is a good signal the voters are done with right-wing Democrats fucking up Biden's promises to improve the lives of working people.
For people who don't know, Republicans are putting up massive amounts
of PAC money to support the corrupt, corporate right-wing Democrats.
A Democratic politician taking money from Republicans, is that a Democrat?
What would Republicans say about a Republican politician taking money from Democrats?
You have not seen all of KH's word salads. I bet you have seen a few. That is why you do not see her, they hide her with the rest of the idiots.
Your last paragraph is sketchy at best.
I wouldn't call her an idiot, I would just call her useless and pointless.
How is the last paragraph sketchy?
It's reality. The standard corporate 'centrist' Democrats are getting millions and millions for their campaigns, from corporate donors and Political Action Committees, where Republicans put in a big part of the money.

Probably not the straight answer you are looking for.
Can you answer this, why is it ok for us to use foreign oil rather than our own. Usually our own is cleaner and so is Canada's. Nope we gotta stop that damn pipeline, but it is ok for russia to use a pipeline. What sense does all that BS make. Let me help, lunacy.
1, if those countrys didn't sell oil,they have NOTHING ELSE viable to trade in order to support themselves. They would be the equal of a 3rd world country.
It is ok to buy their oil as LONG AS IT IS CHEAPER than our own. When it gets higher,turn on our own spiquets and let them stew in theirs a while and they will come around.
I like Bill Cosbys idea on oil . a bushel of wheat should cost the same as a barrel of oil. They eat,we burn oil, so simple enough.
Also,by using their oil, it helps reduce the pesky fines the liberal government trys to inflict on domestic drillers for minor issues .

Maybe Republicans are stupid enough to ask such questions, but if a supreme court judge nominee with any brains gets a question like that, they are not stupid enough
to give a dictionary definition. Not even your judges are that stupid.
Liberals "burn" dictionarys and books to prevent anyone from knowing how they are slowly,methodically changing basic definitions of words.
Take the word retard or retarded.Used to be in reference to the timeing on a engine's ignition system.Then it became a way to discribe someone who aint quite right by no fault of their own.Now it is suddenly a taboo word to say.
While right-wing politicians are doing exactly that!
DUH!
tecsan: "You got that right, now explain it to the progressive democrats."
Because it doesn't say anything about the people who had a ding-a-long
and had it replaced by a surgeon for a hoo-hoo, or vice versa.
Whatever definition, it doesn't say anything about people's rights
to have their hoo-hoo or ding-a-long replaced.
If you agree with CAT's definition:
- Man has a ding-a-long
- Woman has a hoo-hoo
That means you agree that trans-women are women and trans-men are men.
Marsha Blackburn just like CAT tricked you in agreeing with the definition
which claims trans-women are women and trans-men are men.
(but she's a judge, not a comedian and not a biologist)
If a definition should exclude 'fake' but sexually effective ding-a-long's and hoo-hoo's,
it should be in the definition.
AND JUST where the hell is it going to grow inside a man? Just what will it drink when it comes out of the puss? And uh,just how is a 8 pound baby going to come out of the head of someones DICK???

So uh, what else is there??
Where is this text that supreme court justices learn their word meanings from?
I just used it as an example that might resonate with phart a bit more,
unfortunately I don't know enough about specific engines to discuss them.
A little girl once told me: "Men have a tollie and girls have a punani".
Those are the Suriname street language words her father taught her.
That little girl of 4 y.o. taught me something new then.
But "Men have a penis, woman have a vagina" is the level of a 4 y.o. girl.
If your equipment (tollie or punani) defines your sex, that means a surgeon
can change your sex. But you say it doesn't, so sex is not your genitals then.
If what you get at birth defines your sex, than some people are born without.
And it doesn't say anything about the freedom to be(come) different.
As for a eco boost engine.I have no experience with them.
If it is anything like that tiny 4 banger chevy is putting in their trucks to try to meet fuel economy standards, no thank you. I don't want something that has to run at 5000 rpms to tow it's rating capacity up a hill.
