  1. I agree. Until a person is of the legal age of majority, and is thus personally responsible for any permanent, medically induced changes to their body no such changes should be legally allowed.
  2. Meanwhile, back at the distraction, two more brain dead jerk off's were sentenced to 44 months in prison. Hey, but more evidence is coming in and fewer people are watching. At least we have super awesome Fani Willis in Georgia on the job.
  3. So, in all fairness they are the Secret Service.
  4. My exception is for blatant acts of discrimination, of course. The normal right to refuse service to those who earn it must remain sacrosanct. Although, and I'm sure you'll agree, just being a bit of an asshole shouldn't apply.
  5. Given the demonstrable credulous nature of humanity, and the propensity of parents to indoctrinate their children in the most provably false belief systems, I'll certainly agree.
  6. When I read that what popped into mind was the opening to Lone Survivor. The inserted SEAL Team let go the kid and the old man which, if true, led to not only three team members killed but also, I think, 19 Seal Team rescuers. I don't draw a precise analogy for comparison, rather it causes me to think just how weighty and elastic so called rules of engagement must seem in real combat.
  7. You've definitely raised the bar for the rest of us dimwits. I was under the mistaken impression that there was no confusion over equations since they found Zero.
  8. Dude, it's 8:00PM here, cocktail hour after a 10 hour day of fixing stuff and I'm cruising news while dinner is cooking. Truly, you need to get more comfortable in your skin. If you want me to continue responding to you stop with the insults.
  9. How about not expanding the area of offense taking for shits and giggles? Skydekkers point was on point.
  10. Indeed I'm down, not drastically, but shit happens. Unlike bitcoin, ARKK is a basket of potentially disruptive issues. I'm happy holding here.
  11. Let's see here, skydekker was referring to race, color, sex, and/or national origin, yes? O.K., I suppose you might point out that Jews are a race but then it's not universal and blood is the color red so that fit's too and boys are a sex, I suppose, so you win there and all parties involved surely have some national origin so that's another hit for team butt sore about religion. Still, you have to agree that the practice of (icky to say) makes Hillary's basement pizza parlor offense seem tame. Oh, and unlike the pizza parlor lies, this is true.
  12. You got me there. I'll text Ken Jennings.
  13. You're not. I too enjoy Jerry's commentary but then I've always been a bit of a history buff.
  14. I so look forward to Winsor's learned reply. I was going to Google "who else sucks baby weenies" to get a head start, but maybe not.
  15. Yes, so that local drilling, I assume you grasp that time frames can be a problem. And actually, the oil companies have, I think, over 9000 unused leases in hand, and their own properties, so that tiresome canard really needs a rest.
  16. I'll put that down to cocktail hour posting. TK, we on the left here are largely in agreement that Biden is basically like a condom: totally necessary for the job at hand but best discarded after a single use.
  17. To be clear, I think that an employee who makes the decision to discriminate should be dismissible and no boss should kick it down stream to avoid being held for discrimination.
  18. I se your point but to my mind that is significantly worse. That's a hell of a load to put on a subordinate who might need the job bad enough to deny their morality. So if it's the boss, no bueno; if it's an employee they should be dismissed.
  19. You're equating abortion and trans-gender surgery, specialty medical procedures that not every medical professional is trained to provide, with selling a lousy wedding cake? We disagree, then. If you open a retail shop for business to the general public then you must sell your products to the entire general public. To do otherwise is nothing short of discrimination and that we should all strive to end.
  20. Are you new? The purpose of any original post is to surface deeply repressed emotions so as to begin travel down that long road to understanding. Unfortunately we need to explore several cul-de-sac's along the way but eventually, and after many struggles, we somehow arrive at our destination just before the thread is locked. It's a beautiful thing.
  21. I'm guessing you don't get how funny that is.
  22. The facts are that the world is going to hell in a hand basket and all evidence points to an inexorable decline from here. We're sort of like the people who made it to base camp but needed to turn around and head down. It sucks, but we gave it our best go. The good news is that another species should be around in a couple million years, so there is hope.
  23. It must be an easy life being a totally disinterested observer. I guess we'll see if some people are able to make soup out of his negative behaviors, but who knows?.
  24. airdvr, please read closely both Jerry's and Bill's replies. If you are honest in your appraisals you'll have to agree it is the conservative groups and actors who are largely responsible for the divisions. We liberals are all too happy to bring whomever into the tent.
