It seems there is a faction of people who hold the Founding Fathers up to be almost gods (but certainly some kind of divine representative). So much so that they figure a 240ish yr old legal document is as applicable in today's culture as in one from that long ago. I'm curious, is there...

In my personal opinion.... I do think that you should actually interaction with many transgender person before you label them with some pretty awful labels. Do I think you should ask that question? I would hope you would. Do you believe that if you asked them that, it would have been the...

I have understood you believe that. It's just that "not going to war" is not a way to "honour" someone ELSE'S sacrifice. If you are HONOUR someone, you bestow honour ON them by doing something FOR them. Trump didn't make the choice to not go to war to "honour" American soldiers. Trump the...

When you have asked Transgender people, which one do they say it is?

Huh. Do you think Trans people actually gain pleasure from "deceiving/controlling others"? I'm more inclined to think that they just want to identify as a woman.

I love travel and I cannot understand folks who don't understand how their actions could be disrespectful.

Any source for that? I'm curious. I've heard microdosing psylocybin ("shrooms") is also have a TREMENDOUSLY positive affect on people with INCREDIBLY deep depression.

Do you believe everyone's vote is as important as everyone else's or do you believe some people's vote should have a greater weight and meaning?

My emphasis. That seems like a knee jerk, ill thought out response becaues it's ridiculously false. Look at when CO2 started to increase: It was when humans started burning coal.....started driving cars. Re: Volcanos. The entire volcano output is 1/60s of Man's output when you compare yearly...

Well I mean the other option is to convince people through good governance and sound policy. That may get people on board.

There is absolutely no way this passes. I just read a reddit post from a Lawyer and he explained that this would definitely affect the Supreme Court's "One Person One Vote" thing. Also, it would likely disenfranchise black voters who would be SEVERELY underrepresented in many, many counties.

As SOON as you say something nice to anyone about anything, it's virtue signaling. To be fair, it's pretty much every President since Memorial Day has been a thing that has just been virtue signalling.

But you yourself have NO PROBLEM with what he tweeted...on Memorial Day? You felt that was appropriate post content for a rational, intelligent, former president on a day when a countries takes a moment to remember solidiers who died?

"Not going to war" does NOT "honour" any soldier. That is an argument of desperate convinience. If you win were to win a prestigious award for, say, fiction writing and I, a professor were to come up to you and say "Writers are just failed academics who pretend to be smarter and more intune...

I'm not a big fan of how someone can toss out the phrase "virtue signalling" in an attempt to gaslight an argument. Especially one where the only really acceptable option, is to act virtuous (ie....to honour fallen soldiers, it makes sense to do a virtuous act).

Ok. Do you remember when Trump hired his daughter and son in law? Two people completely unsuitable for their roles? That's pretty much the definition I gave above.

Your reply to the op is in the textbook example of goalposts shifting

Why? Lol! Good thing you included the emoticon. I was about to go super saiyan teacher. Lol

This is as flimsy as aerogel

What's your definition of nepotism? Oxford says this. Is it OK? the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs
