Well, I'm not a sports fan, so I didn't watch either halftime show. But if I was and I were going to pick, I'd choose the Turning Point Halftime show. Not just because I know Turning Point better, but because I've heard some things about the Bad Bunny show that were less than pleasing. I heard it was all in Spanish. I can't speak spanish. Unless Bad Bunny was singing about my father's cuss words, I wouldn't have any idea what was being said. I usually like Latin music, I grew up with it. But I don't know this Bad Bunny character very well, and anyway I heard he wore a dress on stage. If I wanted to see a comedy act, I'd turn on Beavis and Butthead. Plus, I heard he had women doing distasteful moves. Leftists don't know it, but they still treat women like sex objects.
Well, leftists are getting mighty pushy! Yesterday, I found this message on the page of one of my facebook buds...
Now, leftists are telling us what we can and cannot watch if we want to be friends with them. This one is not even really the worst of my worries. There is also some kind of competition between the Melania movie, and the Big Mike movie. LOL! I got this from another former bud on Facebook the other day. Her name is Rebecca Beckrich. I actually really liked her before this, and learned a lot about how to spot a good aussie. But then she started telling everyone of her buddies to go watch Big Mike's movie on Netflix. This was my response, because I know Big Mike too well by now...
This was her response...
The thing is, I didn't ask about Melania's movie, but she was trying to make this a competition between the two movies. Anyone with a Netflix membership could watch Big Mike's movie if they wanted to. I even heard a lot of leftists say on another Facebook thread they were going to put that movie on loop. But to watch Melania's movie, you had to purchase tickets, get dressed, go to the theater you bought the tickets from, sit down in a dark theater and watch the movie. Melania's movie isn't doing quite as well as Big Mike's movie. Melania's movie so far has made about $13.35M as of today. Today, Big Mike's movie has had 47.5 million minutes of streaming. I kindof wonder how many of that 47 million minutes of streaming came from actual first-time viewers? Because again, I heard leftists say they were putting Big Mike's movie on loop. I wish I could compare how much money it made with how much Melania's movie made. But Netflix doesn't work that way. If you get a Netflix subscription, you can watch any movie as much as you want and it doesn't cost extra.
Anyway, this was my response to Rebecca...
I haven't seen Big Mike's movie, but I'll bet that is all he talked about! I just know Big Mike too well, and I'm getting to know his type. He's done nothing for the past 2 months but complain he had to straighten his hair because "white people expected him to". And complaining about white people in black peoples' spaces. Etc. etc, etc. Always "white people bad" and "Donald Trump bad". No, I'm not going to waste 2 hours of my life listening to that. That may appeal to leftists, but not to me. You never hear of conservative black people complain about all that! That's because it's all in the leftists' heads. And leftist black people cause their own problems. They don't know it because Obama and the leftist media tells them "it's all white peoples' fault!"
This was Rebecca's response to me...
Little did she know, she didn't really delete me. Because I had my other account. So, I took that opportunity to give her a piece of my mind...
I didn't want to leave on a totally bad note, that's just not in my character. The funny thing is, when I first friended Rebecca, there were a couple other aussie breeders who were telling her she was incompetent. I didn't listen to them because I thought Rebecca was OK. I had just met her, and I wanted to get to know her for myself. She posted pics she drew of aussies showing good and bad points, and that's what I look for in friending these show breeders on Facebook. I want to learn. But I don't want to stay friends with someone who is in a cult. And yes, Rebecca is in a cult. If you ever want to know if leftists are in a cult or not, ask them how many Trump-supporting friends they have. If they say none, that means they're in a cult. One of the things that makes a cult a cult is members cannot become friendly with anyone outside their cult. I have democrat, even leftist, friends. They aren't cultish.
I don't mind being friendly towards leftists. Sometimes I even like to have fun with them. They don't always play along, but what the hey? I still have fun. And most leftists are not really worth being friendly with, especially if they are far-leftists. That seems to be the direction a lot of leftists are moving towards. They asked for the Epstein files to be released. They got what they wanted, sort of. For leftists, it was never about the victims. It was all about getting Trump caught in a vulnerable position. Now that that won't happen, the leftists are moving on to something else. Now, it's all about this video that was posted on Trump's Truth Social page where the Obamas are depicted as being apes. I'd say that's more of an insult to apes than it is to Obama. My only problem with the movie is depicting Trump as a lion, because I HATE lions! But the leftists were concentrating most on the Obamas being illuminated as apes. So now, leftists have started illustrating Trump as an ape. I guess to make supporters of his as angry as they got when they saw the Obamas as apes. But it doesn't work. Right-wingers have a sense of humor. I think I like this one best of all...
I don't mind seeing Trump as an ape. I'd have preferred a lovely silverback gorilla, they are so majestic. So is Trump. But this is OK. Looks more like a yeti. I call Obama an insult to apes, well, because he's NOT majestic. He may be charismatic, but no hint of majesty in either of the Obamas exist. Charisma is not always good. Trump has majesty, but no charisma. Melania has all the charisma among the Trumps. She also has majesty like no other woman I've seen! Except maybe Princess Diana. As for the Obamas, Barry has charisma but no majesty. And Big Mike, he has NOTHING! He's not handsome, he has no personality at all! He's not even graceful. He's just a dyke.
Well now, portraying Trump as an ape did not work for the leftists. So now, they are calling everyone who did not watch the Bad Bunny halftime show a "racist". I've now seen it happen many times to people who saw the halftime show. There is this post going around now on Facebook, where the owner of a bar had one television set. He said about 80% of his customers wanted to watch the Turning Point halftime show, and about 20% wanted to watch the Bad Bunny halftime show. So what did the bar owner do? He put his TV on split screen so the customers could watch whichever show they wanted to. But the 20% was not at all happy, so they cancelled their orders, left bad Yelp reviews for the bar and went to another bar. He said the 80% were not happy that Bad Bunny was on their screen either, but they didn't leave, didn't cancel their orders and did not leave bad reviews on Yelp. That's the difference between conservatives and leftists.
Now I also hear the leftists got ahold of a new "thing". Now, they're saying Trump "ate" children. WHAT??????!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!??!?! What??? WHAT????? That's a very serious allegation! Apparently, Epstein exchanged emails with someone, it was not Trump though, and there was talk about "jerky". That was Epstein's word for children I think. I saw that bit in the files. I was so ill reading that, I wanted to puke! Listen to this woman being interviewed by Adam Francisco...
Some comments made on this video about Trump being a 'cannibal'...
The last comment is kindof a treat for those minorities who think democrats are all for them!
Speaking of having fun with leftists, as you all know we've had a visitor that comes in now and then. I've let him comment with no retaliation from me because I do believe in freedom of speech. But last week, he started to become threatening. I could report him to the FBI for making a terroristic threat, but I thought instead I'd have some fun with him. He liked being called Yosemite Sam the 2nd, so now he is Sam and I am Bugs Bunny. LOL! I thought well, as long as he's here, I might as well have some fun with him. So I am. This should be plenty of fun! He's not even that witty. He just tries to sound smarter by using big words. I can do that too, if I wanted to. But one thing I've learned during my years on the internet, using big words does not make you sound smarter. It just makes you a fool who uses big words. That perfectly describes Sam the 2nd. LOL! I'm sure he will be back and commenting on this post, so game on!
Don't make me laugh. I've dealt with your type before, and if you think I'm at all threatened by what you've said, I'm not. If anything I find your constant bluster and posturing to be highly amusing. But I will not mince words any further.
ReplyDeleteYou are a coward. You are a bully, a racist, a homophobe, and an Islamophobe-- and you have admitted to such yourself-- but above all you are a coward. Don't think your writings on this web site make a difference. That you are able to post these hateful ramblings day after day means nothing. You are not some brave rebel against an oppressive society. On the contrary, you are no more courageous than a rabid dog.
You have turned your anger and fury against the most vulnerable groups of people in America, and said things that are beyond the pale. And deep inside, you know it. When it's just you and the mirror and you're calling yourself a hero, you know it. When you're writing these hateful blog posts of yours, you know it.
You punch down at the weak and helpless, and then have the gall to call yourself a warrior.
😂😂😂😂 "I've dealt with your type before"
DeleteAnd I've dealt with your type before too. More times than you can think. I've gone up against whole groups of people stronger than you and never flinched.
"and if you think I'm at all threatened by what you've said, I'm not."
Umm, if you have to say it, and I didn't ask, that means it did worry you. But that's OK. My goal is not to worry, just to have fun!
"If anything I find your constant bluster and posturing to be highly amusing."
Good! Because I say the same thing about you every time I see your posts.
"You are a coward."
Says the dude who comes in here anonymously. Good one, Sam2! 😆
"You are a bully, a racist, a homophobe, and an Islamophobe-- and you have admitted to such yourself-- "
And a very proud islamophobe! Thank you. And I think I will continue to be an islamophobe, if nothing else now, because it pisses you off. 😂 The rest of what you said is just typical leftist drivel and not worth responding to.
"but above all you are a coward."
That's the 2nd time the anonymous commenter said "You are a coward"! LMAO!!! 😁😁😁 I think you are more of a coward than you think I am.
"Don't think your writings on this web site make a difference. "
I think they have much more impact than either you (or I) think it has.
"That you are able to post these hateful ramblings day after day means nothing."
So do your messages, but hey! Free speech, Mr. Leach!
"You are not some brave rebel against an oppressive society."
Neither are you. You're fighting shadows along with the gaggle of other leftists.
"On the contrary, you are no more courageous than a rabid dog."
So that's who your leader is! LOL! 😂😂😂😂🐶 Woof!
"You have turned your anger and fury against the most vulnerable groups of people in America,"
So? They should learn to handle rejection. Just like you did when your mom and dad rejected you.
"and said things that are beyond the pale. And deep inside, you know it."
I only know that I mean what I say. You just think you know what I'm thinking.
"When it's just you and the mirror and you're calling yourself a hero, you know it."
That may be what you do regularly when you look in a mirror. Not me.
"When you're writing these hateful blog posts of yours, you know it."
Only sometimes. Not all the time.
"You punch down at the weak and helpless, and then have the gall to call yourself a warrior."
Sounds like you are the one who thinks I'm a warrior. Because I never said that, or even implied. I just write how I feel and that's it. It's on your shoulders if you think I do this to be some kind of warrior. But I will take that as a compliment! 😁💋
What's clear to me is that you think of yourself as a voice of reason in a world gone mad, screaming into the void about Islamic takeovers, liberal agendas, immigrants, and (for some reason that escapes even me) cats. But YOU are the true face of madness. You, and the entire frightful perversion of nationalism and religion that you embody.
DeleteIn a way, I actually feel sorry for you. I know that, on some level, you find everything good that is happening in America-- LGBTQ rights, DEI initiatives, recognition of immigrants-- to be frightening. You're like a child on their first day of school. Everything is unfamiliar, and you just want things to go back to the way they were before. But this isn't going to go back to the way it was. As a nation, we have to grow up.
You created the Metazoic speculative biology project, correct? I used to really admire it back in the day. I enjoyed your future mammals. And I bring this up because there is a quote by Charles Darwin that you would do well to keep in mind. "It is not the strongesr species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most adaptable to change."
And times have certainly changed. Now we must change with the times, and brave the chaos of new knowledge. People like yourself, who stubbornly cling to their outdated beliefs as the world changes around them are never the winners in history. You wrote about this on your site too, discussing what animals were good survivors, able to last through the coming mass extinction. People, too, can be good survivors, in a metaphorical as well as literal sense. Conservative people who insist that the world was better decades ago are not good survivors. No, the future belongs to people who accept change.
I can already predict what you're going to say: "You're not accepting change either, because you aren't accepting what I believe! You're just throwing a tantrum because Trump won!"
But that's wrong. Trump is ultimately the product of a reactionary response to the direction society is taking, brought about by people like you who are afraid of that. You voted for him because the idea of society moving in a more liberal direction scared you. That's not "accepting change." I, on the other hand, welcome this new change. And I am confident that when the dust settles-- as it eventually will-- the future will belong to us.
"You created the Metazoic speculative biology project, correct? I used to really admire it back in the day."
DeleteThat's correct. Thank you.
""It is not the strongesr species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most adaptable to change.""
That is true enough. But change has to be for a good reason. It cannot just be changed because a few mentally unstable people wanted it to. That's not how nature works. What good is a gay person to nature? What exactly do they contribute? What good is having 80 genders in nature? What good does it hold for future animal life? Some animals can change their sex, but only in certain occasions. And it is not possible for mammals to change their sex. There's like ONE female lion that grew a mane like a male, but so far, that's the only case of it's kind among mammals, and it is still a female.
"People like yourself, who stubbornly cling to their outdated beliefs as the world changes around them are never the winners in history."
People like me are the miners in the coalmine, watching the canary in the cage. When that canary dies, that's when evil takes over. We can battle it, or we can die with the canary. I choose to battle it.
"I can already predict what you're going to say: "You're not accepting change either, because you aren't accepting what I believe!"
Uhh no, that's not what I was thinking. Like I said, it depends on what kind of change and what good it's going to do for our society. I've known a lot of great gay people, but I see no good use for trans people.
"You're just throwing a tantrum because Trump won!""
Now that I am thinking. LOL! But that's a different post.
"Trump is ultimately the product of a reactionary response to the direction society is taking, brought about by people like you who are afraid of that."
It goes back to the "islamophobe" thing. I hate Islam, and I always will. They kill innocent people. They steal from our country and give to their own. They don't come here for opportunity. Not most of them. They come to steal our funds to give back to terrorist organizations back in Somalia, or wherever! If you were indeed smart, you wouldn't have anything to do with Islam either!! You cannot support gays and islam at the same time.
"If you were indeed smart, you wouldn't have anything to do with Islam either!! You cannot support gays and islam at the same time."
DeleteI support Islam because unlike you I am capable of a little thing called math.
Islam is the second most widely practiced religion in the world today. Over a billion people in the world are part of it-- only Christianity has more followers. Out of those, only a fraction of a percent are violent extremists. Judging the entire religion of Islam from just a small fraction of its followers is no more logical than judging all Christians from the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church (though, knowing you, I imagine you might approve of them).
"But change has to be for a good reason. It cannot just be changed because a few mentally unstable people wanted it to. That's not how nature works."
First off, you seem to be the mentally unstable one here. Second, it wasn't just the actions of a few people that caused those changes. Huge swaths of society wanted them, and have been moving towards them for decades. There's no conspiracy causing all this change you hate.
"We can battle it, or we can die with the canary. I choose to battle it."
And I thought you said you weren't a "warrior". Make up your mind! But know this-- if you do choose to take this path, the battle you fight is a losing one. History is not on your side. Reactionary, regressive movements of all kinds throughout history have rarely succeeded in bringing their societies back to their supposed glory days, and preventing the change that they fear.
"I support Islam because unlike you I am capable of a little thing called math."
DeleteWell, let them chop your head off and steal your money. They aren't getting me!
"Over a billion people in the world are part of it"
That does not mean it's good. The prophet they follow was a pedophile who said to kill anyone who goes against the islam faith.
"Out of those, only a fraction of a percent are violent extremists."
I think you're thinking I mean muslims. I don't have a problem with muslims. I've said that all over this blog. I'm shocked you didn't see that. I'm talking about woman-beating, hijab-wearing, man-powered ISLAM!
"you seem to be the mentally unstable one here."
Trans is a mental illness. People agree now.
"Huge swaths of society wanted them, and have been moving towards them for decades."
And I still ask, what good do they do for our society? So far nothing that I've seen.
"And I thought you said you weren't a "warrior"."
I'm not. Everything I do, I do solely for my family. No one else.
" if you do choose to take this path, the battle you fight is a losing one."
Well, we'll see about that. Democrats are already in panic mode.
"Reactionary, regressive movements of all kinds throughout history have rarely succeeded in bringing their societies back to their supposed glory days, and preventing the change that they fear."
Unless the people you are "protecting" have a way to become useful, that won't happen. Weak men build hard times. And there's no one weaker than a leftist.
Oh shutup you wimp!! I hate crybaby leftists like yourself you dunce!!!
DeleteCome on now, sis. We're having a decent conversation. No name-calling.
Delete"I don't have a problem with muslims. I've said that all over this blog. I'm shocked you didn't see that. I'm talking about woman-beating, hijab-wearing, man-powered ISLAM!"
ReplyDeleteThat's like saying there's a difference between normal Christianity and those freaks at Westboro Baptist Church. It's all the same religion, the only difference is the extreme to which certain people take it.
"And I still ask, what good do they do for our society? So far nothing that I've seen."
You only say that because you're confused and afraid. No doubt you were brought up with the idea that people can be put into neat little categories. You were taught that there are two fixed genders, and there is no way to change from one to the other. The idea that this might not be true isn't just unsettling to you, it represents something you always accepted as the truth being taken away. And that scares you. That's why you're so reactive towards everything that's happening in America. At the end of the day, you're just a scared child crying out for their parents to put things back the way they were. But that's not gonna happen.
"Well, we'll see about that. Democrats are already in panic mode."
Trump's approval ratings are at an all-time low, even among Republicans. Over the past few days alone, his approval regarding the issues he ran on-- immigration and the economy-- has fallen to its lowest point ever. Trump is the one who ought to be panicking, not just for himself but for the entire Republican party.
"And there's no one weaker than a leftist."
Nonsense. Leftists have been part of the STRENGTH of America for decades. Franklin D. Roosevelt single-handedly saved America from the Great Depression with his New Deal, and won World War II. John F. Kennedy stood up to the Soviet Union when the world was on the brink of nuclear war and prevented a third world war from breaking out. Barack Obama orchestrated the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, effectively ending the war against Al Qaeda and pulled America out of the Great Recession. These leftists were heroes, and there was nothing "weak" about them.
This goes for common citizens too. The American political right has far more blood on its hand than the left. The Confederacy during the Civil War was largely a right-wing group (and don't give me the whole "Democrats were the party of slavery" line. Back then, Democrats were a right-wing party). The KKK? Also right-wing? The Oklahoma City bomber? Another right-winger. And so on and so forth. By contrast I cannot think of a single significant incident of political violence in America carried out by a leftist against the right.
Now, I do not blame right-wing politics as a whole for these terrorist attacks, any more than I blame the religion of Islam for its extremists. But the fact remains that, statistically speaking, your statement that the political left is "weak" is absolutely baseless.
I will finish this with a question, and I want you to answer it HONESTLY. What would it take for you to renounce your current political views and admit that what you believe is wrong?
"there's a difference between normal Christianity and those freaks at Westboro Baptist Church."
DeleteThere is a VERY big difference. Normal Christians do not do their preaching by holding signs on a street corner. The WBC is a cult, not a real religion.
"You were taught that there are two fixed genders, and there is no way to change from one to the other."
I said there is no way a mammal can change genders. And there is no way. It's impossible for a mammal. Unless you know something I, and biology, don't know, I don't think you can honestly say there is more than 2 genders.
"it represents something you always accepted as the truth being taken away."
It's not MY truth. It's THE truth. And it has been for billions of years. It's not going to ever change. You can pretend all you want, it won't happen.
"Trump's approval ratings are at an all-time low, even among Republicans."
His second year is just starting. I'm going to wait and see what it's like toward the end of the year.
"Over the past few days alone, his approval regarding the issues he ran on"
Since yesterday, his score has actually gone up 2 points.
"Leftists have been part of the STRENGTH of America for decades. Franklin D. Roosevelt single-handedly saved America from the Great Depression with his New Deal, and won World War II."
Roosevelt was a democrat, but I doubt he was a leftist.
"John F. Kennedy stood up to the Soviet Union when the world was on the brink of nuclear war and prevented a third world war from breaking out."
RFK Jr. has said that if his father were around today, he'd be a republican.
"Barack Obama orchestrated the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, effectively ending the war against Al Qaeda and pulled America out of the Great Recession."
Maybe, but he also revived racism, allowed blm to run rampant, Antifa to go wild, and brought on all this talk about slavery. And you say conservatives are stuck in the past?
"The Confederacy during the Civil War was largely a right-wing group (and don't give me the whole "Democrats were the party of slavery" line. Back then, Democrats were a right-wing party). The KKK? Also right-wing? "
DeleteUuh those were all birth children of the democrat party. Did you know that Biden once said he didn't want his kids to go to school with black people? The south were all democrats, while the republicans stayed up north and won the Civil War. The KKK, 101% democrat.
" The Oklahoma City bomber? Another right-winger."
He was far right. Too far for me.
"By contrast I cannot think of a single significant incident of political violence in America carried out by a leftist against the right."
the blm riots of 2020, over 30 people were killed, and one innocent puppy. Trump has now made animal abuse illegal, and I appreciate that from him. What about all the school shootings that happened within the past 2 years carried out by trans people, all leftists, and their targets were Christian children. The murder of Charlie Kirk, carried out by a radical leftist who had a trans boyfriend.
"your statement that the political left is "weak" is absolutely baseless."
See above. I can also point you to lots of videos of leftists throwing tantrums. When I was a kid, adults were mature people we looked up to. Now, I don't trust any adults, because they'll throw tantrums like children, they indoctrinate children into this leftist ideology, and they take kids to drag shows where they don't belong.
"I will finish this with a question, and I want you to answer it HONESTLY."
Go for it.
"What would it take for you to renounce your current political views and admit that what you believe is wrong?"
Uuuh, honestly? I'd have to see leftists stop listening to mainstream media and start thinking for themselves. I'd have to see leftists cooperate with conservatives instead of acting like petulant children and chasing them away. I'd like to see leftists stop just telling me I'm wrong because of bullshit they hear on MSNBC. I'd have to see leftists who are willing to have a discussion without the name-calling, F-bombs, and belittling. The problem with leftists like you is, you think you know what I am thinking. You say "admit that what you believe is wrong". The truth is, you have NO idea what I believe. I don't believe, even a little bit, that I am wrong. You want me to believe what you believe, which is what CNN and MSNBC tells you to believe. I'm not like that. You want me to tell you you're right, which I cannot do, because you're not. Those leftist media outlets are lying to you, and have been for years. The only reason leftists believe those news stations is because they talk negatively about Trump. I've had lies told about me before. And that's going to make it damn-near impossible to get me to believe everything leftists say about Trump.
"leftists who are willing to have a discussion without the name-calling, F-bombs, and belittling."
DeleteIn case you haven't noticed, I haven't dropped a SINGLE F-bomb through our entire conversation. I have my dignity. Also, I do have a good idea of what you believe, if only because you've made your beliefs quite apparent on this blog of yours. I won't bother refuting every single point you made above, wrong though they may be, because I know doing so would be an exercise in futility.
As for cooperating with conservatives, let me say this. I have no problem with conservatism as a whole. What I have a problem with is people like you, who are convinced that anyone who is not a far-right conservative is an existential threat to America. The hateful rhetoric you spew about LGBTQ people, Muslims, and leftists shows that you have no interest in peacefully coexisting with any of those groups of people.
We are upset because we see all the progress we have worked so hard to make in this country being torn down by xenophobic knee-jerk reactionaries like yourself. Why should we pity you any more than you pity us? Why should we respect you when you condemn us and all that we have stood for?
“ There is a VERY big difference. Normal Christians do not do their preaching by holding signs on a street corner. The WBC is a cult, not a real religion”
DeleteFor once, you’re right. But by that same token, neither are Muslim extremists representative of their religion.
“ Unless you know something I, and biology, don't know, I don't think you can honestly say there is more than 2 genders.”
Gender as a social construct and biological sex are not the same thing. One is rooted in biology, the other is rooted in psychology, but they’re equally valid.
“ Roosevelt was a democrat, but I doubt he was a leftist.”
Look up the New Deal. Even at the time, FDR was accused of being a socialist because of it. By the standards of his time he was a radical leftist President.
“ the blm riots of 2020, over 30 people were killed, and one innocent puppy. Trump has now made animal abuse illegal, and I appreciate that from him. What about all the school shootings that happened within the past 2 years carried out by trans people, all leftists, and their targets were Christian children. The murder of Charlie Kirk, carried out by a radical leftist who had a trans boyfriend.”
I’m going to need to see proof on those. Whatever vices the American left may be guilty of—and I readily admit that we are, in some cases, guilty— pale in comparison to the depredations of the right.
"In case you haven't noticed, I haven't dropped a SINGLE F-bomb through our entire conversation."
DeleteNo, you haven't. But you aren't the only leftist I've known and tried to talk to. If you've read any portion of this blog for any length of time, you'd notice I have spoken to many leftists, and they ALL start with name-calling. I don't start off calling them names, they start off calling me names.
"Also, I do have a good idea of what you believe, if only because you've made your beliefs quite apparent on this blog of yours."
That's what my blog is for.
"wrong though they may be,"
So, which ones are wrong?
"who is not a far-right conservative"
You're kidding, right? I don't like far-right conservatives. Even Trump said he doesn't like far-right wingers.
"The hateful rhetoric you spew about LGBTQ people, Muslims, and leftists shows that you have no interest in peacefully coexisting with any of those groups of people."
I have my favorites even among those people you profess I "hate". I just don't like the leftist people within those groups. Example, Dave Rubin is gay, I adore him. He's a right-wing narrator. Lily Tino is also gay, I can't stand him! He's a left-winger. Do you know the difference besides their political association? Dave Rubin displays class, modesty, and grace. You probably don't know what that really is, because you leftists associate those qualities with Big Mike Obama, who has none. Lily Tino is a fake trans person who calls attention to himself by making trouble for others.
"torn down by xenophobic knee-jerk reactionaries like yourself."
If you're not xenophobic, you're not human. You're not even an animal. Xenophobia is a basic instinct for all living things. Nothing you or any leftist can do about it. Remember Ryan Carson? I've talked about him on here before. If he had been more "xenophobic", he would still be alive.
"Why should we pity you any more than you pity us? Why should we respect you when you condemn us and all that we have stood for?"
I'm not saying you should "pity" us, and respect is earned, not given. But at least learn to listen to us, as we listen to you--whether you like to admit it or not, we're ready to listen to you--but we aren't going to listen to propaganda that leftists spew. And if you do spew it, we're going to tell you that you're wrong, and WHY you are wrong. We do a LOT more research than you leftists give us credit for, which is why we may seem closed minded to you leftists.
"But by that same token, neither are Muslim extremists representative of their religion."
DeleteHave you even seen the news lately? Assaults are sky-high in Europe, especially on women. And who is doing it? Islamic extremists. Is that what you want to support? Abuse on women? You probably don't like women at all. Assaults are also high in Minnesota, too many Somalis live there. People are being dragged off the streets and beaten by these invaders. I'm already NOT a people-person. Their antics just make it worse. And it's hard not to judge all islamists by the actions of so many (not a "few").
"Gender as a social construct and biological sex are not the same thing."
This is a fairy tale that needs to be put to rest. If gender is just a "social construct", why do trans-"women" insist they are real women? I'm rather offended by people thinking all a woman is is just long hair, make up and wearing a dress.
"I’m going to need to see proof on those."
Luckily for you, I talk about a lot of them on here, and they are easily found on Google. And I even help you out by providing much more detail in my posts.
"pale in comparison to the depredations of the right."
Killing does not pale in comparison. You had to go back some 30 years to find a violent right-winger. Most right-wingers have been peaceful for the most part since Trump took office. And I know you're going to bring up Jan. 6, 2021, don't bother! That was not a riot or an insurrection. And it was Nancy Pelosi's plan to sabotage Trump. No one was killed that day either. Only one person died, because she was shot by Nancy Pelosi's bodyguard.
"If you're not xenophobic, you're not human. You're not even an animal. Xenophobia is a basic instinct for all living things. Nothing you or any leftist can do about it. Remember Ryan Carson? I've talked about him on here before. If he had been more "xenophobic", he would still be alive."
ReplyDeleteTime for a lesson in both history in biology, though considering how things have gone so far I doubt it will do much good.
We humans are social, altruistic, group-dwelling primates, and we have been ever since we first descended from the apes. In the harsh environment we think of as a habitable planet, group behaviors are required for survival, both of the individual and of the group as a whole. This is why, One byproduct of this is that we are inherently distrusting of anything that comes from outside our group. The group, after all, is important, and must be protected in order to protect the individual.
Over thousands of years, this has never really gone away. It manifests itself in many ways-- religion, national identity, racism. Whatever it is, we become fiercely protective of the group, and hostile to anyone outside it. And so we have evolved a reflexive fear of anyone who does not match the profile of the group we belong to. This served us well in our early years as a species, when anyone who did not belong to our group was a potential threat, but as we shifted from being hunter-gatherers to farmers, and then from farmers to having an industrialized society, it outlived its usefulness.
But evolution has no foresight. If something has no immediate benefit or drawback, evolution simply does not act upon it. This is why humans still have vestigial tail-bones, for example. It is also why, even though we now live in an interconnected world where we have advanced far beyond the need to fear those outside our group, we still have an instinctive fear of cultures and beliefs we do not understand. The group must be protected, that is what our genetic heritage tells us. We draw up justifications for why this is the case, and these vary over time-- one year it's the communists, the next it's the Muslims, and then after that it's the transgender people-- but the underlying cause is all the time. It has not gone away, because even though it serves no function in today's world, we find ourselves drawn to it. This drive to protect the group is rooted deep in our primitive ancestry.
But it is an anachronism. We live in a more interconnected world, where people of different cultures and backgrounds interact on a daily basis. We have invented tools of communication-- writing, printing, radio, television, the internet-- that allow us to bridge these differences in ways that our ancestors could not have imagined. Simply put, we are no longer slaves to our genomes. We have overcome the psychological limits put on us by evolution.
Now, there are two kinds of people in the world. Those who accept that humans have risen beyond how evolution shaped us, and those who still stubbornly cling to outdated notions that our society has long since moved beyond. You are not merely wrong when you say that it is right to be xenophobic or Islamophobic or transphobic or whatever.
You are OBSOLETE.
"Simply put, we are no longer slaves to our genomes. We have overcome the psychological limits put on us by evolution."
DeleteYes, and look where it's got us. Those people cause riots, they kill other people, they're trying to eliminate any safety net we have to keep society in order (ie. police and ICE). You people are afraid to listen to your instincts because you're afraid of being called a "racist" or any one of those other nutty idioms that leftists throw at the rest of us. I may be "stubborn" to you (and everybody else, really), but I am still alive. You leftists keep this up, and you're all going to wind up like Ryan Carson.
"Those who accept that humans have risen beyond how evolution shaped us,"
Meaning you've learned to ignore your instincts because you're afraid of being called "xenophobic or Islamophobic or transphobic or whatever."
"and those who still stubbornly cling to outdated notions that our society has long since moved beyond."
Meaning those of us who value our lives and our families and will do what we have to to protect them and ourselves despite leftists calling us "xenophobic or Islamophobic or transphobic or whatever."
BTW, did you hear about the school shooting in Canada? Committed by another trans "woman" on small children. I'll be writing about that on here as soon as I get all the details.
You still haven't answered my question. WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND?
DeleteI answered your question already. But I will say it again in simple terms so you don't miss a thing...
Delete1. A reliable source telling me Trump is really bad. (No MSNBC, no CNN, no leftist TDS afflicted podcasters).
2. That leftists are willing to TALK and not call us "bots".
3. That I see with my own eyes that Trump has actually done something bad without justifiable cause.
I'd say the Epstein files, but they're already being released, and they only seem to prove democrats are bad. I hope that is simple enough for you. Cuz I won't answer that question for you again. Next time, I'm going to tell you to just scroll back. OK?
Delete"That leftists are willing to TALK and not call us "bots"."
I'm a leftist and I'm willing to talk, though my patience is wearing quite thin at this point. Even if I found you all of those things, something tells me you'd still find a way to declare them insufficient.
But there's something else I want to talk about. Have you ever heard of something called the Strauss-Howe Generation Cycle? Broadly speaking, this is the idea that American history can be divided into eighty-year-long segments, and each of those segments represents a significant turnover in our society. Each turnover begins with a crisis, and once that crisis is resolved, it ends with a major problem in society being solved.
The first "turnover" was the American Revolution, which was the painful separation of the American colonies from the British Empire, and ultimately gave us democracy. The war itself was the crisis, and the adoption of democracy in America afterwards was the improvement afterwards.
Eighty years later, there was the Civil War. The pattern repeated. There was a crisis-- the war itself-- followed by an improvement. In this case, that improvement was the end of slavery, the granting of the right to vote to blacks, and Reconstruction.
Eighty years after that, there was World War II. This involved many countries, not just the United States, but the pattern is the same. The war was terrible, killing over 70 million people, but after it ended we renounced fascism and racism, ultimately laying the groundwork for the Civil Rights movement.
It is now eighty years since World War II. Another crisis is happening. And just like the last three, it will end with America emerging from it more progressive and accepting than before. The pattern has happened three times already. First, Democracy. Then, the abolition of slavery. Next, civil Rights. And now, LGBTQ rights. It is inevitable. The cycle will always continue, like the flow of a river. People like you, who resist it, are going to be left behind. America will not miss you.
"I'm a leftist and I'm willing to talk, though my patience is wearing quite thin at this point. "
DeleteYou are the first leftist I've seen that is willing to talk, and I thought your patience was already thin. Why do you think I gave you the nickname Yosemite Sam the 2nd?
"Even if I found you all of those things, something tells me you'd still find a way to declare them insufficient."
Because no leftist exists that doesn't use propaganda from leftist news networks.
"It is now eighty years since World War II. Another crisis is happening. First, Democracy. Then, the abolition of slavery. Next, civil Rights. And now, LGBTQ rights. It is inevitable. The cycle will always continue, like the flow of a river."
While the last 3 did provide useful outcomes, nothing good is going to come of giving special rights to LGBTQ. I don't have a problem with the LGB rights, but even they have begun to reject the TQ rights because they give the rest of the group a bad look. There is no place for them in the grand scheme of human society. I've been watching them for several years now, and there is no way they will ever be compatible to us normal people. The only thing to do is to open up the asylums again, and throw them in there with the rest of the nuts. That's the only good that will come out of them.
And to quote your first comment; "Don't think your actions on our streets make a difference. Because they don't. That's why I'm so glad we have a strong, fearless fighter like Donald Trump.
Now I have to ask-- what is it that you hate about transgender people so much? Why do you find the idea of validating their existence so offensive?
DeleteOne example is like what happened today, where a trans "woman" shot up another elementary school in Canada. There have been several other precedents like it over the past 4 years. And if they aren't killing innocent children, they are telling kids to cut off their families (including the parents) if they don't accept trans people (ever hear of Jeffrey Marsh). And he's not the only one who does shit like that. They are liabilities wherever they go. They cause trouble for other people. They want to stifle our free speech rights by demanding we call them a gender that isn't their's. I'm not saying I hate all of them. I have genuine compassion for those who actually have gender dysphoria, like Buck Angel. But for every one like him(/her?) There are several that transed themselves just for either attention on TikTok, or their parents brainwashed them. I feel sorriest for the kids whose parents brainwashed them, like Jazz Jennings. Besides all that, they are completely ANNOYING!!!!
DeleteHitler hated the Jewish, but the Jewish are not annoying. I don't even understand the hate for them at all. But leftists today have begun acting like Hitler, starting with the war in Gaza.
The Civil War freed the slaves, that's good! I'm glad they were freed. And they were not annoying back then. In fact, I find non-slaves more annoying than people who were actual slaves because they want to complain about something that has been put out of it's misery since the 1860s, that they never were a part of. And I don't understand that.
The revolutionary war freed us from the British, that's good to! We needed to become our own country.
But what good is accepting trans people going to do? Sacrifice womens' safety. The only women who say they'd be OK with a trans person in their locker room are the leftists anyway, and they never feel any shame. Trans "women" are still men, and regular trans people know it. They still have the muscle mass of a man, and could break the bones of a woman. No matter how long they take those "hormone blockers", they are still, and will always be, men. I've talked about how I feel about men in womens' sports on here multiple times. My perception has not changed on that.
OK. Now we're getting somewhere. I understand what you're saying, even though I happen to disagree with it on every fundamental level. Keep in mind, I'm not trying to stifle your free speech or anything like that.
DeleteNow, to address your points.
"where a trans "woman" shot up another elementary school in Canada. There have been several other precedents like it over the past 4 years."
I certainly don't deny that there have been cases where transgender people have committed acts of violence. No group of people is without its criminals, and that should never be held against the group as a whole. But there is no evidence that being transgender systematically influences people to become violent. I am not merely parroting liberal talking points when I say this-- a simple look at crime headlines of the past three decades will show that only a small percentage of the culprits have been transgender.
"They want to stifle our free speech rights by demanding we call them a gender that isn't their's."
There is nothing about that which stifles your free speech. They are asking to be called by the gender they identify as. I know from reading your past posts that you are female, and would like to be addressed as such. I imagine you would be very upset if someone referred to you as a man. Would you say that correcting them violates their free speech? It's no different. You want to be called by your gender, they want to be called by theirs. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. . .
Delete"But leftists today have begun acting like Hitler, starting with the war in Gaza."
Quite the opposite, really. We simply call out hypocrisy and hate where we see it, even if it comes from a country we support. And no matter how you slice it, Israel was the aggressor in the Gaza war. They invaded Palestine and committed war crimes, attacking unarmed civilians. It would be irresponsible of me NOT to call them out on that, even if I am Jewish and therefore have a cultural connection to Israel.
"I find non-slaves more annoying than people who were actual slaves because they want to complain about something that has been put out of it's misery since the 1860s, that they never were a part of. And I don't understand that."
This is going to take a while to explain. You're probably used to the idea of racism in its most obvious form, like Nazi Germany and the KKK. In other words, people and groups of people who actively hate certain other groups of people. But there's another kind of racism that isn't so obvious, even though it's every bit as real.
Black Americans are arrested at a much higher rate than their white counterparts. You might argue that they commit crimes at a higher rate too, but in many cases crime is correlated with poverty, and black Americans are on average much poorer than whites. That's not to say there aren't rich and successful blacks, but AS AN AVERAGE, blacks are worse off than whites. This is what's known as systemic racism. It's not the result of any one person or group of people having hateful beliefs, so much as it's the result of a society that promotes inequality and oppression.
So blacks have very good reason to still be upset. Yes, they're not enslaved, but they have a long way to go yet before they are on equal status with whites. They have the same rights in theory, but in practice they are considered lesser citizens, and treated as such. You ever wonder why you tend to see blacks living in low-quality housing, doing jobs in manual labor, and ending up homeless? It's because even though they technically have equal rights with whites, society doesn't favor them.
"But what good is accepting trans people going to do? Sacrifice womens' safety."
Again with the misconceptions. There's no evidence that trans women represent a significant risk to the safety of cisgender women, and while I'm sure it HAS happened, sexual assault by trans women is certainly not common enough to be a concern.
If this is what you are concerned about, the best I can do is assure you that the things you are afraid of will not happen, and you have nothing to fear from transgender people
"But there is no evidence that being transgender systematically influences people to become violent."
DeleteNo, transgender is actually a symptom of a much larger problem.
" a simple look at crime headlines of the past three decades will show that only a small percentage of the culprits have been transgender."
While I don't deny there are bad people on all sides, the fact that in such a short period of time, trans people have been much more violent, and it's recent. It's not like it's from some 30 years ago. And it never comes from legitimate trans people. It's always from the fakers and radicals.
"I know from reading your past posts that you are female"
That's correct.
"and would like to be addressed as such. I imagine you would be very upset if someone referred to you as a man. "
I've always said on here that people can address me however they want to. It doesn't bother me, because I know who I am. Why does it bother the fake trans people when they look like a man in a dress and talk like a man, that we call them a man? That's a problem that is on them.
"Would you say that correcting them violates their free speech? It's no different."
That problem, again, is on them. If I went around saying I'm a fox, and I have no fur, no tail, no foxy ears, I'm not going to expect anyone to agree that I am a fox. A man in a dress does not make a woman.
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. . ."
Which is why when I see them, I just don't talk to them. I look ahead and walk on by.
"And no matter how you slice it, Israel was the aggressor in the Gaza war."
Palestine actually attacked Israel first. Palestine decided to drop bombs on Israeli concert-goers. The leftist media will have you believe the Israelis started the attacks. But I remember the news that day, and Palestine were definitely the aggressors.
"Black Americans are arrested at a much higher rate than their white counterparts. "
Yes, and let me tell you why. When a cop pulls someone over for a traffic stop, and asks for your insurance and stuff, you're supposed to get it out and hand it to him. I've seen a lot of black people pulled over by cops, and they ALWAYS want to argue instead of doing as they're asked. Most of the time, they never do as they're asked, and just sit there and argue. Of course a cop is going to be suspicious of that, and it's going to make him mad. And because a cop has someone in handcuffs does not mean they are under arrest. It could just mean the cops are detaining that person while they do a quick investigation. Sometimes they are let go, and sometimes they may be taken in to custody. It depends on what is uncovered. That's equally for both white and black people.
"So blacks have very good reason to still be upset."
DeleteBlacks are not upset so much as brainwashed by the mainstream leftist media. It's corporations like MSNBC who tell blacks there is still racial discrimination just to keep them angry. I really wish people would stop believing MSNBC is an accurate news source, because they aren't. Their goal is to keep the country divided and keep racial tensions high. But now it's become Frankenstein's monster, black people are even calling each other "koons" and "uncle Tom" and shit like that. I can only see it getting worse as long as people listen to people like Joy Reid and Rachael Maddow.
"You ever wonder why you tend to see blacks living in low-quality housing, doing jobs in manual labor, and ending up homeless?"
My guess would be because they make their own trouble. I've seen a lot of videos of black people throwing tantrums, even though they are treated the same as everybody else. I saw one video of a black woman who ordered french fries at McDs or some place like that, and she declared war on the employees because her fries were not warm enough. Now, I'd have been angry too if I had asked for hot fries and they served me some that I could put in a cold pack on my back, but I would not wage war on the employees like that woman did.
"There's no evidence that trans women represent a significant risk to the safety of cisgender women,"
In womens' sports, and in restrooms and lockers. I understand there have been some isolated cases, most of them among the fake trans people. They are the real problem. Any man can just say "I'm a woman" and have access to female only spaces. I think laws regarding them should be a lot stricter than they are now. I think they should also have to show some kind of proof they really identify as they say. If they cannot provide proof, they cannot enter. Something needs to be done before it gets worse.
In that case, I have another question. WHY DOES ANY OF THAT AFFECT YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL?
ReplyDeleteThere's a difference, you know, between liking something and tolerating it. The definition of 'tolerance' is 'the ability or willingness to allow the existence of opinions or behavior that one dislikes or disagrees with'. I consider myself a very tolerant person, which is part of the reason I'm willing to engage with you calmly instead of insulting you and calling you names. But the underlying idea of tolerance is that you don't have to like the thing you're tolerating, as long as you're willing to tolerate its existence.
I respect your decision to not like these things, but all I ask is that you at least tolerate them. Your life as an individual person is not affected by how other people choose to identify themselves, so even if you disagree with it, you can still respect it. Just like I do with you. I'm not demanding you change your opinions about these groups of people; I know I can't do that, and I know you don't want to change. But you should at least work on your ability to tolerate them.
I'm not asking you to like them, I'm just asking you to tolerate them. Is that too much?
"WHY DOES ANY OF THAT AFFECT YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL?"
DeleteIt affects me as a woman.
"as long as you're willing to tolerate its existence."
I've been tolerating them. And I think I did so for too long.
"But you should at least work on your ability to tolerate them."
I do tolerate. If I didn't I'd be out there punching their lights out at every turn. But I am not that kind of a person. Though I won't deny those like Jeffrey Marsh and Lily Tino, I'd love to throttle them. But I won't. I just ignore them.
Why does it affect you as a woman? Be honest-- what are they doing that directly affects you? How does their desire to express themselves detract from your life?
DeleteBecause it's not the truth. Because I have to sacrifice my safety for a man with a big imagination. Because it pains me to see women have to deal with men in spaces that for years belonged only to women. I know you say these things are not likely to happen, but all it takes is one, and I lose trust in that policy completely. Not just me. I'm sure there are lots of women who feel that way.
Delete"all it takes is one"
DeleteThat's like saying we should all quit driving cars because people sometimes get into accidents. That doesn't sound very fair, now does it?
Cars don't kill people. People kill people.
DeleteYou're missing the point. It's the same in both cases-- a statistically improbable event shouldn't be a reason to lose trust in something common. That's the mistake you're making. Yes, there are bad transgender people out there, but the majority of them are NOT LIKE THAT. No one likes biting into the proverbial apple and finding half a worm, but that shouldn't be a reason to swear off apples altogether.
DeleteMy point is, cars are easier to forgive because they don't drive themselves. People do. Thus people kill people. The car does not tell a drunk person not to drive. The drunkard does it themselves. People are harder to forgive because they can alternatively control themselves. People also tend to copy what they see others doing. With the rise of trans people committing horrific crimes, it's hard not to judge the next one. Especially since they are mentally unstable.
DeleteOK then, how about spiders? A lot of people are afraid of spiders. And it's true that a few kinds of spiders, like black widows and brown recluses, have very venomous bites. But even those spiders rarely bite people, and most kinds of spiders are completely harmless. So it's not really fair to wish extinction on all spiders just because of a few incidents when people have been hurt or killed by them. But that's the logic you're using here. Just because a few transgender people HAVE committed these crimes-- and I'm not denying that-- doesn't mean every single transgender person should be treated as a potential criminal!
DeleteTo put it another way, Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin both had moustaches, but that obviously doesn't mean everyone with a moustache is an evil dictator.
Well, I hate spiders, but I would never wish extinction on them. As with trans people, I tolerate them. But spiders have survived for 500million years because they are of some use to the ecosystem. They kill and eat harmful insects. But I still have not heard a good reason for trans people to be here. What do they contribute to society? If I knew a good answer for that, it might make it easier to accept them.
Delete"But I still have not heard a good reason for trans people to be here. What do they contribute to society?"
DeleteOK, let's approach it from that angle for a minute. A person can identify as a gender other than the one they were born as for any number of reasons, and those reasons deserve to be recognized. But being transgender isn't a person's entire identity . And that's what's important to remember-- if you reduce them entirely to their transgender aspect, then you're not really seeing them as people. They're just invisible, hypothetical enemies you feel you have defend yourself from. They're transgender first, people second.
Now let's flip it around. If we look at them as people first, transgender second, then we don't paint them with one brush. We start noticing stuff like:
Lynn Conway, who invented out-of-order execution for computer processors, which were a major breakthrough for the entire computer industry as we know it today
Martine Rothblatt, who created groundbreaking treatments for lung hypertension and new techniques for organ transplants, which could save millions of lives.
Alan Hart, who pioneered the use of X-rays to detect tuberculosis, paving the way for effective treatment of the disease.
Sophie Wilson, whose invention of the ARM microprocessor made smartphones possible.
Well, I will admit those are some pretty impressive historical trans people. But there is still the thing about men in womens' spaces. If gender is all in their head, and they know it, why allow them to invade womens' spaces?
Delete“ Well, I will admit those are some pretty impressive historical trans people. But there is still the thing about men in womens' spaces. If gender is all in their head, and they know it, why allow them to invade womens' spaces?”
DeleteGood. Now we’re getting somewhere. As I was saying, the thing about gender is that it’s an identity, and if a trans woman is going into a woman’s space, it’s not because they’re trying to trick anyone. They genuinely, legitimately feel that they are more comfortable as women and deserve access to the same places as their fellow woman. Now, I’m not trans myself, but one of my best friends is, and she says she never felt “complete” as a man.
You might argue that trans women aren’t “real” women because they cannot reproduce, but then neither can women with ovarian cancer, and no one denies that they are female. Being transgender is not simply a matter of “pretending”: a big part of it is involuntary. My friend was born biologically male, but never felt comfortable that way. It wasn’t a feeling she could control, and it got worse as she went through puberty. So she—and I call her “she” to be respectful— transitioned.
That’s how being transgender works. At the end of the day, they’re just people. They want to live how they’re most comfortable, and they’re not out to get you.
You might argue that trans women aren’t “real” women because they cannot reproduce, but then neither can women with ovarian cancer, and no one denies that they are female.
DeleteIt's not only about reproduction. Men don't have the bone or muscle structure that women do. Men have top strength, women have bottom strength. Even a woman who has had ovarian cancer has the ability to carry a baby inside her body. Even a woman with no uterus at all still has the bone structure there. Women have a round pelvis while men have a triangular one. And even women who don't have any reproductive organs at all still have XX chromosomes. Plus there is a simple gentleness in a woman's soul that men just cannot copy. Only real women have it. A man can put on a wig and a dress, it still does not make them a woman. Men have a more gruff appearance than any woman has. Even gay men do not have the "feminine factor" that makes a woman a woman. I think it's that factor that makes it hard for me to see trans "women" as real women. It cannot be copied. Even tomboys have that factor, it's just something that is specific for women.
