    Same, but I opted to double down on what they gave me, because...

    I really wish I had thought up that shit in a box and mail it off thing - those folks are retired somewhere
    Nice, but you could have just fibbed for comedic effect

    I assumed

    I felt the apology was necessary for because of my recollection of my past and in the response, I recall that and I meant that, fully
    There was a bottle blonde, briefly, but mental health (both of ours) required that that relationship end - I hope she is doing well.

    Getting back to the topic, this was an interesting read and shows Biden's people skills.

    Hate, extremism & performative outrage is all they got. Tax cuts not even in the top 5 any more.

    Do they though? I seriously doubt the number of people willing to cast a ballot for Trump translates to that level of fanaticism (like there are plenty of Mareks out there who somehow thought they were voting for the lesser of two evils). And even among those who talk a big game on the internet, I doubt the majority of them would actually be willing to die for their ideology once the fighting started.

    At best, they have less than 100K willing to go that far as witnessed by the plea deals being struck for J6

    The way I look at it is when Babbitt got shot, the people with her started running. And that was just with a pistol. J6 protestors receive the treat that Black Lives Matter activists, Civil Rights activists, or any left wing activist received, they'd be soiling themselves. Or that one J6 suspect who was in literal tears at his interrogation.

    There are people who will vote GOP no matter what, like Rusty Bowers. But they're more stuck in their ways if anything.

    Yeah, had the Capitol Police gone Ohio National Guard, it would have been a mad dash out of the place with more fatalities from trampling than anything else

    And it's gonna be a while before John Rich writes a memorial song to them

    you really are a champion at coming up with catch phrases that attempt (and I repeat attempt) to discount a point of view that you do not agree with...

    your arguments for drag shows would work very well for black face as well

    you will not find me defending the Catholic Church on the issue of pedophiles
    as we say in the old country, that's a whip for their back that they made themselves

    once a person turns 18 they can do what ever they want in regards to transgender transition/surgery

    I don't want the local Educational Department encouraging children to be transgender or teach them made up stuff about 56 different genders

    you are making so much stuff about me and my point of view that I will not even waste my time to answer you

    why do around 80% of kids molested are boys?

    Yeah you keep using this line, so you seem to think women are deeply offended by the practice of drag and you’re just white knighting in their defense? You should explain to my wife how offended she should be so she’ll stop watching RuPaul’s Drag Race.

    I'd be very surprised if that number was anything close to realistic. I'm thinking a bunch of girls just do not say anything.

    I am under no illusion as to what direction our culture is moving

    your wife is pretty smart to embrace the drag phenomenon
    That will serve her well when men continue to take over more areas of women’s life

    men transitioning to women are now telling women what it is to be a woman, those men will now define womenhood

    As someone else already noted, there is a massive difference in that most women don't object to drag shows and, based on the ones I've been to, seem to quite enjoy them.

    But yet you still empower them by your support and perhaps even financially.


    It's already been demonstrated that Republicans do not allow such things in some states, even when they are 18.



    "Encouraging"

    "Made up"

    Keep demonstrating your ignorance of science and your devotion to right-wing performative outrage media.

    "I don't want the local Educational Department encouraging children to be autistic or teach them made up stuff about 56 different positions on the Autism Spectrum Disorder"

    You see how stupid that sounds when replaced with another biological condition?

    And that is a blatant lie perpetuated by right-wing bigots who constantly lie about gay men in an attempt to demonize us. 82% of all child sexual victims are female according to Justice Department statistics. Here's another site providing statistics showing you are a blatantly homophobic liar spreading false information.

    People like you are absolutely disgusting. The extent to which you are willing to lie about people like me but nonetheless support actual pedophiles is an abomination.

    Women aren't offended by drag queens, tho. I mean, some probably are, but it's not because they feel drag queens are portraying negative stereotypes of women. If they're offended, it's probably because they're dragphobic.

    Now, if you don't think blackface is in and of itself a negative, I can actually see where you're coming from. But since you're (rightly) using that term here as a pejorative to get a reply, there's no chance of that.

    In my opinion Marek has duped you into thinking that about him. He has shown time and again his beliefs and attitudes are quite in line with white supremacists of the Eastern European ilk. I can easily picture him as one of the people in this video (and not one of the good people):

    It's not. He's lying like the true performative outrage conservative he is.

    The statistic I used was in the case of Church related abuse, as that was the point made by you and that other poster

    You do realize that data is SOLELY about child sexual abuse committed by CATHOLIC PRIESTS. The reason why CATHOLIC PRIESTS sexually abuse boys more than girls is because they have easier ACCESS to boys rather than girls. CATHOLIC PRIESTS have access to boys more than girls and CATHOLIC PRIESTS sexually molest boys more than girls.

    edit: It appears you do realize but chose to misrepresent it and apply it to sexual abuse in general anyway.

    I think I made it plain what I think about black face
    and how celebrities/politicians (unless they’re Leftists) are held to account for their black face pasts
