Defund State, NSC, or Defense? No. But cut the defense budget. We have the highest defense budget in the world many times over. It's one reason why we can't have nice things. Universal Health Care anyone?

Pong :openmouth:

Sometimes the thing we think someone needs is not the thing they think they need or want. Do you think that is possibly in play here? I see that in couples all the time where one partner is working hard to satisfy their partner. While they are well intentioned, the thing they are spending...

As for me, I would probably go. I would not consider my attending "condoning" or agreement, but an act out of respect and regard for my step-mum as to something that is important to her. I would not have to hold it to the same importance. If I chose not to go, I would probably talk about me and...

The dumbing down of the United States. :swoon:

A government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations just like Lincoln said. ;) We have the best government money can buy. And it has.

The U.S. border w/ Mexico is 1,954 miles long, and therein lies the problem.

From 12 Rules for Life by Dr. Jordan Peterson: "Here is something to consider: If you have a friend whose friendship you wouldn’t recommend to your sister, or your father, or your son, why would you have such a friend for yourself?” “You are not morally obligated to support someone who is...

Denomination ownership of buildings in the UMC has been that way for decades, just as it is in some other denominations. The UMC opened the window for churches to leave with their building and then they closed it. Consider that you are a life-long loyal Methodist who gave a sizable portion of...

Actually, I am quite well informed - informed enough that I have made a decision to never participate in it, and have refused every request I have had to do so. I don't know how much informed I can be than that. I have already staked out my position here opposing gender affirming care for...

As I said I don't do this work by choice. There are reasons for that, some practical and some personal. The research and outcomes speak for themselves. Of course I am under no illusion that my refusal will stop them. They will find someone who does this work. I have no interest in it and it's...

And here is a bit of irony. Many of the same folks who are okay with government action banning affirmative care lose their minds over government action banning conversion therapy. Either we want government making health care decisions for us or we don't. Good luck, by the way, finding that...

Could we trust medical ethics and professionalism to guide practice? As a mental health therapist, from time-to-time I have been asked if someone could see me for evaluation and recommendation to proceed with transition surgery. My answer is always, "No, I don't do that." I don't need...

Because it has been or now is doesn't make it more palatable to me. We have government and insurance companies dictating what medical treatment consumers can get. I would prefer that to be a personal decision of a consumer and of the medical provider. I don't much care for Big Brother making...

I think the book may be unfortunate for Ms. Noems, but it is pretty fortunate for the voting public.
