Now why would I want to do that? entyti Send a noteboard - 14/08/2023 11:24:09 PM

The probability that anyone can say or do anything and not offend someone is exactly 0. In order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive.

No, it is much better to just be as honest as I can, offensive or not. Because the alternative is to remain silent, which only serves those without my best interests in mind.

Besides, I doubt you were concerned about offending me with your jab at my inappropriate use of the term transgender. Here I go laying out my beliefs on a topic, along with my reasoning that has led to those beliefs, and you respond with a smugnorant correction to my terminology? One might say that is kind of a dick move. I am only returning the sentiment.

“Can you imagine our reading that James Madison or Thomas Jefferson tried to overthrow the gov't?" TyrReborn - 03/08/2023 09:02:48 PM 737 Views
I'm curious as to your point in posting this. damookster - 04/08/2023 03:17:48 AM 189 Views
The point is that these uneducated dumbass race-baiters dare to lecture us TyrReborn - 04/08/2023 05:33:36 PM 180 Views

You're entitled to your optimistic view TyrReborn - 05/08/2023 04:24:33 PM 178 Views
You only think your view is realistic because you haven't studied enough history. The Shrike - 06/08/2023 04:04:34 PM 189 Views
You're entitled to your optimistic view. *NM* TyrReborn - 06/08/2023 09:18:39 PM 76 Views
Not only is this statistically incorrect, it's historically incorrect. Ghavrel - 08/08/2023 11:35:42 PM 164 Views
Sigh, I understand that it's hard to grasp these days, with our medical miracles, TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 05:52:01 PM 162 Views
Disease is counted as part of wartime casualties. Ghavrel - 14/08/2023 08:17:53 PM 157 Views
And Covid killed 1000000 Americans lol TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 09:49:02 PM 152 Views
You didn't cherry pick anything. You just decided that the consensus of experts is incorrect. Ghavrel - 14/08/2023 11:37:05 PM 150 Views
Died of =/= died from, and died during =/= killed TyrReborn - 17/08/2023 04:58:08 PM 149 Views
I don't think so Tom - 07/08/2023 01:54:05 PM 204 Views
These facts would cause you to be denounced as a "putinite fascist"... TyrReborn - 07/08/2023 05:45:05 PM 166 Views
Well, of course it's going to pass Tom - 07/08/2023 06:55:12 PM 181 Views
Tom, you are being far too reasonable. That doesn’t fly in 2023! *NM* damookster - 08/08/2023 12:22:49 AM 83 Views
He is, which is why, I think, he is wrong. *NM* TyrReborn - 08/08/2023 10:18:32 PM 87 Views
I just can't buy that the political and academic class will give up their grip so easily. TyrReborn - 08/08/2023 05:49:58 PM 149 Views
Academics have been pro Marxism for over 100 years. It's nothing new. *NM* damookster - 08/08/2023 05:59:55 PM 85 Views
Maybe. But they've never been this spiteful or spoiled before. TyrReborn - 09/08/2023 01:29:30 PM 142 Views
No, they only recruited students to spy for the Soviets *NM* damookster - 14/08/2023 06:18:58 PM 76 Views
Yes. They do that now, too. Except it's the Chinese. *NM* TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 09:51:37 PM 75 Views
Do you have sources for that 'far more conservative and far more religious' claim? Legolas - 09/08/2023 07:35:50 PM 167 Views
In regards to more conservative, The Shrike - 09/08/2023 08:35:03 PM 178 Views
You see all this fury because a random dude on the internet calls a dude a dude TyrReborn - 17/08/2023 03:31:00 PM 147 Views
I side with Greg and Tom in this discussion. damookster - 08/08/2023 05:57:54 PM 162 Views
I don't suppose linking medical articles is going to help too much here, but... Ghavrel - 08/08/2023 11:28:05 PM 176 Views
Elizabeth, you know I have a non binary grandchild. damookster - 09/08/2023 01:22:32 AM 178 Views
Yeah, I know, I just think that the statistics are dangerous. Ghavrel - 09/08/2023 04:36:40 AM 161 Views
Respectfully, do you truly believe this? TyrReborn - 09/08/2023 05:42:31 PM 167 Views
I'll bite... Legolas - 09/08/2023 06:39:46 PM 154 Views
Thanks. <3 *NM* Ghavrel - 09/08/2023 08:27:13 PM 81 Views
Your thoughts AgentApple - 11/08/2023 04:14:37 PM 147 Views
Yes, that's true. Legolas - 11/08/2023 06:11:49 PM 157 Views
Re: Yes, that's true. AgentApple - 12/08/2023 04:25:28 PM 143 Views
The issue itself isn't necessarily - the way it's being used, however, is. Legolas - 14/08/2023 05:44:35 PM 145 Views
This is not bait, I am legitimately trying to understand. And if I understand correctly... TyrReborn - 11/08/2023 05:17:02 PM 154 Views
As I said, it wasn't intended as perfect analogy - it's about how much say should children have. Legolas - 11/08/2023 06:44:33 PM 162 Views
No, seriously, only the last one was intended as parody. And I'd like an explanation. TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 05:43:37 PM 146 Views
There aren't a lot of people committing suicide over their teeth coming in. Ghavrel - 14/08/2023 08:21:29 PM 155 Views
Indeed. TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 09:50:53 PM 145 Views
You aren't mentally ill because of your views. You're just an asshole. Ghavrel - 14/08/2023 11:35:13 PM 158 Views
Re: No, seriously, only the last one was intended as parody. And I'd like an explanation. Legolas - 15/08/2023 04:14:57 PM 166 Views
See, you're willing to discuss, instead of insult. Others on this board might take note. TyrReborn - 17/08/2023 05:18:39 PM 153 Views
Yeah, well, I have the luxury of an outsider's position... Legolas - 23/08/2023 11:47:24 PM 160 Views
Nobody is an outsider when reality is being attacked. TyrReborn - 25/08/2023 05:40:43 PM 146 Views
Fun facts Vodalus - 26/08/2023 06:22:57 AM 178 Views
There's some evidence that hormonal changes in utero are related to transgenderism. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2023 11:26:21 PM 82 Views
Naturally occurring or iatrogenic? *NM* Vodalus - 26/08/2023 11:37:06 PM 91 Views
The studies are about naturally occuring variance, but that doesn't rule out other causes. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/08/2023 12:03:16 AM 79 Views
Not really "fun" so much as "a sad reality of biology", but yes. TyrReborn - 27/08/2023 09:42:14 PM 157 Views
Imagine if you had the same attitude towards trans people. Ghavrel - 28/08/2023 12:02:34 AM 137 Views
I may be no endocrinologist, but I at least understand simple biology. XY =/= XX =/= XXY TyrReborn - 28/08/2023 05:40:14 PM 138 Views
One can be an adult trans person and not support mutilation of children. *NM* damookster - 28/08/2023 07:49:32 PM 76 Views
Fair enough. I have some measure of respect for "Caitlyn" Jenner. You do you homie. *NM* TyrReborn - 29/08/2023 04:54:13 AM 82 Views
Simple is definitely true. Shame you never learned biology past what you were taught in high school. Ghavrel - 28/08/2023 11:21:38 PM 153 Views
Right, cause we're "butterflies" TyrReborn - 29/08/2023 04:57:20 AM 145 Views
I go to mass more than you. *NM* Ghavrel - 29/08/2023 09:58:09 AM 84 Views
Wow, really? And you still mutilated your body and told God that He was wrong about you? TyrReborn - 31/08/2023 05:44:32 PM 147 Views
I must say, The Shrike - 31/08/2023 07:04:47 PM 141 Views
Love is being true. Love is being honest. Love is God. TyrReborn - 31/08/2023 07:52:59 PM 135 Views
I appreciate that a great deal. Thank you. I think very highly of you, too. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/09/2023 04:44:58 AM 83 Views
Really went off the deep end there huh... Legolas - 31/08/2023 10:39:02 PM 134 Views
At least my beliefs can't be disproven by a $40 test at Wal-Mart. TyrReborn - 02/09/2023 03:40:43 PM 127 Views
It's ok. Many of us are quite sad for you too. The Shrike - 29/08/2023 11:10:32 AM 138 Views
I couldn't care less what unbelievers think. You'll meet the Truth, one day. TyrReborn - 31/08/2023 05:45:31 PM 133 Views
No such thing as damnation, but thanks. The Shrike - 31/08/2023 06:55:23 PM 135 Views
Then nothing more needs to be said. See who support your lies, Ghav? They literally deny Love. *NM* TyrReborn - 31/08/2023 07:54:23 PM 73 Views
He understands love a lot better than you do. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/09/2023 04:46:14 AM 68 Views
Hah! I knew you didn't worship God. Thanks for admitting it. *NM* TyrReborn - 02/09/2023 03:38:43 PM 78 Views
You're simply acting deranged at this point. Ghavrel - 03/09/2023 01:13:20 AM 156 Views
I hope you don't call yourselves Christian. TyrReborn - 03/09/2023 04:11:06 AM 133 Views
Of course I'm Christian. I confess the faith of the apostles and of the councils. Ghavrel - 03/09/2023 11:41:56 AM 132 Views

It is not, and I am not. TyrReborn - 03/09/2023 09:06:48 PM 147 Views
You absolutely are damookster - 03/09/2023 09:27:00 PM 144 Views
Caution is not condemnation. Warning is not judgment. TyrReborn - 03/09/2023 11:05:17 PM 131 Views
Bro, I'm not worried about your immortal soul. damookster - 03/09/2023 11:35:41 PM 146 Views
I get that. But Ghav, supposedly, is. TyrReborn - 04/09/2023 12:09:55 AM 139 Views
You’ve expressed some pretty odious and ugly sentiments. Vodalus - 03/09/2023 10:07:51 PM 146 Views
Yeah, I'm definitely an outsider, and so are you. Legolas - 28/08/2023 07:49:48 PM 130 Views

Most of us don't really like "the gays," either. And referring to people as "blacks" is offensive. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/08/2023 12:34:32 AM 77 Views
