  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The NEA is pushing far left teaching upon children

That doesn't seem to hold for gender identity and sex identity.
Sure it does.
Most people I know would see their gender identity as the socially constructed gender they have the strongest affinity for. And they would say that their sex are determined by which gametes they produce
That's what they have been taught to believe and they just believe without thinking it through.

There is no such thing as a socially constructed gender. There are some socially constructed cultural sex norms for the sex you were born as.

Some things for biological women and some things for biological men.
Perhaps you can loosen the definition of sex to encompass everything, but that leads to a loss of specificity.
No it doesn't. Because if they are the same thing then all things apply to both. And they are the same thing and so all things apply to both.

The gender crowd wants there to be a difference so transgender people can be biologically male on the outside but female on the inside amd accept them as NOT mentally ill. Thats really the bottom line for it all.

The gender argument falls flat on its face when you realize that when you use the word gender for anything, you can also use the word sex and it doesn't change anything. Its because its the same thing.

The earth is at rest. When it is
moved, it is a catastrophic event.


Psa 60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou
hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it
shaketh.
Psa 68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped
at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved
at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
2Sa 22:8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the
foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he
was wroth.
Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the
sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and
the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the
moon became as blood.
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she
is shaken of a mighty wind.

Trump terminates orders signed by Autopen during Biden administration

So, unless the pardon has restrictions attached to it, once it's issued it's permanent. But what I think Trump is attempting to do is say they were never valid in the first place. There is absolutely no legal precedence to retroactively voiding the actions of a President due to alleged incapacity, but that's true of many things this administration is trying.
He'll just have the DOJ throw anyone into the slammer that he pleases and there's nothing you can do about it.

What would have happened to Adam and Eve and Cain after death?

That is a good question.

What do you think of Jesus; words here... Matthew 12:41, 42; Luke 10:13-15; Luke 11:31, 32
I wasn't sure but this is what copilot said:
These passages emphasize that on Judgment Day, Jesus will be the ultimate judge, and past examples of repentance (Nineveh, Queen of Sheba) or rejection (Chorazin, Bethsaida, Capernaum) will stand as witnesses against those who refuse to recognize him. They highlight that Jesus is greater than Jonah and Solomon, and that failure to repent in his presence carries heavier consequences than past generations faced.

I would ask if one can seriously un-pardon people, but Trump can do anything and nobody will stop him.

Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

You're thinking to small. From Venezuela, you could start land grabbing the entire subcontinent of South America. It's easy to conquer and hold, with only a connection to North Africa and Central America, and you'll get two additional reinforcements per turn.
I'm really starting to like you.

Well, Greenland and Gaza Strip went down the drain. With Venezuela, we can put the heat on the Panama Canal, for a double whammy.

Of course it is. You got that huge, expensive army. Might as well use it to plunder the world.

The NEA is pushing far left teaching upon children

I've explicitly talked about the difference in this post. There is a loss of specificity though.
No you havent. You have used the word gender at times and I have used the word sex for the exact same thing. Thats because they are the exact same thing.
Who said it was? I just wanted to show that chromosomes are not perfect markers for sex.
They are the markers of what is normal. That is why we can determine what is abnormal. Just like normal humans have two arms and two legs. But sometimes we have people born who do not have any number of those. However they are still human beings with a birth defect. They are not the norm for the species. Defects in genetics do not determine the norm. And this particular discussion is NOT about genetic defects. It is about transgenderism.

And the syndrome you mentioned has nothing to do with that. So I won't bother responding to that argument anymore becauae it is irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

Which is transgenderism.

Why not stop beating around the bush, and call it a full scale conquest. You know it is.

It is widely used to differentiate whether the connection
I think it can be both. I still don't see how it shows the difference between gender and sex.
different category than the connection between gender and fashion. That is why some find it useful to use different words.
Sure, but the words mean the same thing. Gender and fashion is the same thing as sex and fashion. Thats why gender means sex and sex means gender.
See above.
See above.
What gender they are.
Thats because sex and gender are the same thing. After all the observations you determine quickly that the person is a male or female. When you determine they are a male you have determine ed their sex AND gender at the same time.

University of Minnesota on Whiteness Pandemic

Would you like me to paint you guys with such a broad brush?
I think the researchers and the university in the OP painted us white people wi t h it. And you don't seem to have a problem with it. I guess broad brushing is okay as long as you are doing it to white people.
