I don't think you understand what a Strawman argument is.
And yet again, you seem to be more upset about the homosexuality than the pedophilia.
This conversation is just going around in circles. There really is no reason to continue it.
Is this from a source of any kind, or just your personal take on the matter?
And apparently the military can't do anything about the military giving aid to Ukraine.
If Trump is in charge of the military right now, then why are we giving Ukraine so much military support right now?
Your statement was that no vaccine had been tested for safety or efficacy in 30+ years and that this was proved in a court of law.
But what you've linked here doesn't support that in itself. It's a FOIA where apparently HHS admitted that reports about vaccines had not been submitted to Congress.
But submitting reports to Congress and testing vaccines for safety and efficacy aren't interchangeable.
I'm not arguing that vaccines are safe or effective. I'm just pointing out that what you've provided doesn't support the claim you've made.
Absence of Evidence does not mean Evidence of Absence.
The irony. 🤦♀️
Interesting. Because the Bible also says;
Ephesians 2:19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
Hebrews 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
1 Peter 4:9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.
Leviticus 19:34 “You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
Leviticus 19:33 “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.”
Leviticus 24:22 “You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God."
Also, as others have pointed out, you're taking those verses you mention out of context. I don't know if you're doing it on purpose or not, but misrepresenting what the Bible says is not a good thing to do.
Where do you get that there is a higher percentage of pedophiles amongst homosexuals?
Yeah, I don't agree. At all. Gay does not equal pedophile. I don't know of any gay people who are angry about laws pertaining to pedophiles. The DO get angry for being called pedophiles just because they're gay, though.
Do you think it's worse for a child to be assaulted by someone of the same sex than by a different sex?
Again, you seem to be concerned with the wrong thing here.
That would make sense. I was thinking they meant 8 different types of vaccines taken close together. Not one type of vaccine once a year for 8 years. Thanks.
. but the reasons I think this board has lost engagement are reasons I don't feel I can openly say on the board. just think about THAT.
Now I'm intrigued. Could you give a hint? Are you afraid of getting banned if you say? Can you send DMs?
So were many others.
If you look at the posts with the most responses to them, they're usually the ones that have people commenting with opposing opinions.
Maybe it's because people just like to argue. Or maybe it's because people think it's boring to just sit around agreeing with each other. Those people with opposing opinions are getting banned.
There are other reasons as well, like others mentioned. Nicer weather, no new Q posts, Trump is being relatively quiet, etc...
But the forum has been on a steady decline for a long time. Anyone can see it if they look. Just sort posts by "top" and "all time", scroll through them, and you'll see that the views and responses posts are getting now don't come close to a couple years ago.
It's also a nice walk down memory lane.
Could you give me the court case you're talking about in regards to their safety and efficacy? That would really come in useful. Thanks.
Is a straight child molester more palatable to you?
Just seems like you're focusing on the wrong thing with that guy.
Dear lord! What in the world do you do that requires you to get 8 vaccinations, and which vaccines did you get?
Could you give an example of how free speech rights are being bullied away, please?
Interesting. Ironic, but Interesting.
Cool story.
Want to hear of all the creepy af heterosexual men I've personally known who are/were sickos? I've met way more than one, so it might take awhile
This is something I was speaking of on another discussion.
People let things like tv and forums like this give them a skewed sense of reality. They lose perspective.
For example, if someone just dropped down to earth and read this forum, they would probably get the idea that transsexuals make up 75% of the population, and you can't walk three feet without tripping over one and 9 out of 10 elementary school children are getting sex changes without their parents consent.
But the reality is that the vast majority of the general population will most likely never even meet a trans person.
Considering how conservative people are here, and how conservative people generally live in conservative areas, it's even less likely anyone here will ever meet a trans person.
So taking that into consideration, there is a huge imbalance of the amount of time and energy and stress involved with getting wrapped up in the issue than what it should merit.
I would love to understand the thought process that has anything I've said that comes anywhere near grooming.
Or is "groomer" the new "shill", where you just throw it out whenever you can't come up with an argument?
I'll just point out that between the two of us, you're the one obsessed with the genitalia of children. So there is that....
Legality is important.
Minors are an issue unto themselves. And it's not a one size fits all solution. I can't claim what is wrong or right for someone I've never met and I don't know their life story. So what those families do is best determined by those families and their physicians and therapists and their spiritual leaders and anyone else who are personally involved in their lives. Do you want some stranger who doesn't know any of your business to tell you how to raise your kids?
But I do know that if parents spent more time parenting their own kids and less time sticking their nose in other people's business, the world would be a much better place.
Pedophilia is illegal. Being transgender is not. Apples and oranges. Unless you're saying you think it should become illegal?
I think way too many people are overly interested in the sex lives and personal issues of complete strangers.
If they're not hurting anyone, and it's not illegal, then I think people need to butt out.
Which individual rights?
What do you think Free Speech is? What do you think will happen if I misgender someone? Do you think I'll get thrown in jail for it?
Free Speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want and everyone has to accept it and not get upset about it or say anything negative back.
It's a big pet peeve of mine when people go on about Free Speech and don't really understand what it is.
Go to the library and ask for some books on Civics and government. Read them.
