What do you suppose my position to be?

What's the harm? What drag queens are teaching is that how we dress is only cultural convention and it's OK to have fun with it sometimes. No harm in that at all.

Why not do drag queen story hour in nursing homes then? No harm in that! I'm sure the old people would get a kick out of it!

Most clothing stores have a woman section and a men section. Pretty simple.

So you let retail marketing decide what it is a sin for you to wear?

No, you're free to dodge the issue. You are free to isolate your children from learning anything real about human sexuality, though that you would want to seems kind of kinky to me.

I understood this to mean primarily criminals. Of course non-criminal illegal immigrants will inevitably get caught it the raids as well. They will also have to be deported, because - you know, illegal.

If they are "primarily" going after criminals, why do so few of those arrested have criminal records? Less than 30% of those detained to date have any prior criminal convictions, and a significant percentage of those are for minor infractions like traffic violations. In Chicago, less than 3% of those arrested in Operation Midway Blitz had criminal records.

Bible verses can be multi-fold. Yet more often the first and foremost fold is literal. Abraham's story is factual, only based on this that allegories can be built.

Why Do Vaccinated People Represent Most COVID-19 Deaths Right Now?

Authors:Cynthia Cox, Krutika Amin, Jennifer Kates, and Josh Michaud
Published:Nov 30, 202

The share of COVID-19 deaths among those who are vaccinated has risen. In fall 2021, about 3 in 10 adults dying of COVID-19 were vaccinated or boosted. But by January 2022, as we showed in an analysis posted on the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker, about 4 in 10 deaths were vaccinated or boosted. By April 2022, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show that about 6 in 10 adults dying of COVID-19 were vaccinated or boosted, and that’s remained true through at least August 2022 (the most recent month of data).

Since it is important to you to avoid such things, how do you define what constitutes men's as opposed to women's clothing? Most of the few trans people I actually know prefer to dress unisex, as do increasing numbers of non-trans young people as a way of avoiding the hassle of deciding which gender stereotype they have to conform to. What's your take on that?

The ratio of functional pockets to garment length.

And where do you think laws come from? There has to be some form of moral or ethical standard to build laws off of.

The only real limits anarchy imposes on behavior is death. Logically, that is the only outcome. And living in a place where justice does not exist is not conducive to life.

And you want to take away the rights of anyone who disagrees and chooses to exit that system? (And build a parallel system.) Why should you be the one to determine who educates my child?

If we are talking about a secular state like the US then the question is not a moral one because the State, as such, has no moral position. It only has laws.

And where do you think laws come from? There has to be some form of moral or ethical standard to build laws off of. According to your profile; you're certainly old enough to know that!

Not me. My grandkids are now experiencing the peer pressure and even the 9 year old brings propaganda home. I live in Texas and hopefully SB12 will work to mitigate the damage and give parents a choice on what their kids are exposed to.

YES!!! We (also) need more school choice.

My kid has been "out of school" since the lockdowns 5 years ago. Fortunately we lived (and still do) in a rural conservative school district. That being combined with homeschool; he pretty much avoided the school indoctrination. Unfortunately though; it's everywhere. He deals with this in video gaming communities all the time. And even at 23 years old, he still struggles to see through the "we're the oppressed community" and you "need to have white guilt" because our LGBTQ+++ "feelings are hurt" agenda.

And with all that's going on on the Internet with AI and bots? How much of this is real for a population that only totals 2 to 3 percent of the total public? The internet has been "the biggest blessing" and "the mark of the beast" all at the same time!

:doh:

Notre Dame reversed itself;

Father Dowd emphasized that the school’s Catholic mission ‘guides and informs all that we do and how we work together.’

The real question here is who determines morals and ethics and what should societies adhere to?

Now there are places on earth where anyone can do what ever they want. And.... people don't usually like living in those places because anarchy isn't good either!

I wasn't aware that there was any such place. Even anarchy imposes limits on our behaviour.

The Righterzpen said:
Yes they are. The very definition of any "religious system" entails morals and ethics.

My solution to this: school vouchers. The money follows the student. Our public education system needs more competition (even entailing the fact that the homeschool movement is currently "crushing it"!

Home schooling and vouchers--a neat way to dodge the issue.

Of course not, since we live under a dome. I’m a firm believer that society should be governed by a genetically superior race of people, among whom God was born. As it was in the days of Ptolemaic cosmology.

Ya, really. It is hard enough to understand people when they speak directly and do their best to articulate. I don’t have time to deal with “clues”.
