The left are warhawks? Who was protesting the Vietnam war again? Who was protesting the war on terror? I will not bow down to your authoritarian speech enforcement that I refer to you by whatever identity your mental illness compels you to believe you are. You can call yourself an "independent all you want, but I will continue to live in reality and call you a Republican because that's what Evolution made you. I gave you the links to crime stats. Facts don't care about your feelings. Huh, but you can talk about what cities are like without living there? More Republican hypocrisy. You're ALL hard working? Even though republican states take more in welfare than they pay in taxes? Democratic states are paying for your survival and lifestyle. https://apnews.com/article/north-america-business-local-taxes-ap-top-news-politics-2f83c72de1bd440d92cdbc0d3b6bc08c See, this is the problem, you live in a fantasy world of absolutes. EVERYONE in the country is hard working and EVERYONE in cities are lazy. In reality, there is a mix of both regardless of where you live. You want to divide this country by pitting rural against urban because you're a radical extremist who can't see past the partisan propaganda you've been spoonfed. You don't blame your problems on the government? If that were true, I would never hear a single word about "Biden destroying the country, causing inflation, blah blah blah" from y'all. That a bald faced lie and you know it. You blame the government when you stub your toe if a Democrat is president. "NO CRIME HERE!" You can't even parody how delusional y'all are. You're completely living in fantasyland. I showed you the stats that PROVE there is more violence per capita in rural areas and you have the delusion to suggest there is no crime at all? Clown World. Man, check out these "city freaks": You're right, these don't exist because you don't personally own one: Delusion. Another "responsible" gun owner threatening to murder anyone who takes his toy, folks. Thanks for proving for the billionth time that the average gun owner is violent and mentally unwell. Then why do you obsessively blame Biden and Demcorats for all your failings in life? The difference is that leftists have no problem with personal responsibility where appropriate, but you also need to have social responsibility. Republicans don't believe in that at all. Like with your one-sided insistence that rural Americans are perfect little angels who never commit any crime, and cities are swarming with crime, your worldview is cartoonishly one-sided. You are living in Republican fantasyland. And I will not be forced to entertain your delusions. I hope you realize you're wasting you time, as I'm not reading 90% of your posts as it's all bullshit, which I decided months ago. Maybe others take value from it though, so post away, especially if it distracts you from a destructive lifestyle, not that I know anything about your life, nor would I want to. If you want to give me a label, as many in the left do, call me a libertarian. That's probably the closest one I can think of that you would be able to comprehend, and I'm sure you probably hate them as well, which is fine. I believe Trump and Harris are pretty tied up now too, which is funny. You would think it should be an easy victory. Doesn't Trump usually do better than the polls indicate? Bad news bears for the commies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted Sunday at 01:49 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:49 AM I even think the debate of who is competing with athletes in segmented groups, or the best way for us as human beings to handle the bathroom debate - are worthy ones to be had. They are multi-layered conceptual issues that a combination of empthy and healthy debate are how they get handled best But these past 6 pages some of the words, rhetoric, descriptions, and depictions of transgendered folks see..... I quite frankly find disgusting and the opposite of condusive to a healthy debate about anything. And it makes me realize how far down the rabbit hole of hate some people are - it makes it clear why some folks are voting for Trump and willfully ignore the plethora of big things that demonstrate the last place he should ever be is in a position of political power (again) The fear mongering works and works well.

You should try looking up what biologists actually say next time before trying and faceplanting like this. https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/voices/stop-using-phony-science-to-justify-transphobia/ Notice how all of these clips come from immediately after the election? That's because once it was proven that Trump did win legitimately, they stopped saying that because it would then be a lie instead of a speculative opinion. Trump did not stop once his lies were disproven. Nice try though. I'm still waiting for the evidence that Biden directed the charges against Trump. Still waiting... Trump has a "concept of a plan" XD You think the Vice President is in charge of the country? Dear God, please go back to grade school Civics 101 before you even think about voting again.

It's preposterous. There used to be a time when the US had some kind of respect for itself, when the US was seen as a solid democracy. It took a single sociopath to bring it all down. What a shame. Society is fucked. And this, my friends, is exactly what the left wing media and politicians propagate and wants you to believe. If you knew anything about law, you'd understand there were no crimes committed. If Trump were a normal human being not running for president, none of the charges would have ever been brought forward. Sheep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is uncontrollable - you are absolutely right lol Right wing conspiracy theory and distorted fact? Bill Clinton didn't get a blow job from Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office? He admitted it... so did she. MEN aren't playing against WOMEN in collegiate sport in the United States? Not taking scholarships away from women in the process? The US didn't send Iran billions? Trump didn't move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and have several middle eastern countries sign the biggest peace treaty in that region in history? Illegal aliens aren't killing Americans at an alarming rate? This is the problem with you sheep... you just blow everything off as a 'conspiracy' theory, even though they're FACTS! It's mind-boggling. It's like facts can fall out of the sky, land on your face, and start to wiggle... and you still just blow them off as 'conspiracy theories'. You don't understand that when the United States isn't producing it's own fossil fuel resources responsibly, that the country is forced to buy their energy from China and the middle-east, that have ZERO policies about protecting the environment? That in the end, that's WORSE for the planet? It's really unbelievable. One day you will wake up, and I hope it's not too late for you. I was once a thinker like you.... and a hard-core liberal. I blew every right-winger off as 'nazis'. But that all changed when I became a business owner and family man and began to realize how much of a spell I was under from all the propaganda that the media and entertainment industry forces on us. I really feel sorry for all of you with a leftist mindset. You don't even know or understand what you're talking about, and can't see or process anything clearly, despite it being right in front of you. When you do come out of it, if you do, you'll realize how far gone you were. I did. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted Sunday at 05:35 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:35 AM (edited) ^^ Much of this world salad are indeed, not facts..... and are filled with many full blown conspiracy theories (claims by right-wing politicians either not true or unsubstantiated), as well as fairly distorted views on what things actually entail I am not a "hard-core liberal" either so that is a wrong assumption, I have many things that I voted against in my ballot here in CA that would get the true hard-core liberals thinking I was right wing lol. I don't play political football, I take it candidate by candidate and issue by issue. Anyone, left or right who doesn't do that is part of a cult IMO @matt1313Literally, if you can make a single post here that at the very least cites your sources and doesn't resort to ad hominem fallacies I am happy to continue.

In Sweden you'll often only find gender neutral/unisex toilets, so it doesn't seem to be a problem. But thanks for the heads up, I'll think twice when using the toilets next time I'm in the UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
