@Sage521 .... Like nearly all lesislation, the authors get zealous and go to far, beause such legislation has been needed / talked about for a VERY long time. That said, there are precisely ZERO laws / legislation that does not end up harming someone unfairly. However, this is OVERWHELMINGLY due to greed or malice of individuals who seek to gain / profit from the system. Like all laws, the spirit of the law / legislation and the practical implication of it quite often get go astray. I was raised by a feminist mother (Born in '64) in an unhappy marriage. One will meet few that are as opposed to feminist ideology than myself and I am NO scholar of Title IX. Where it is being grossly abused right now, is the trans activist cult, who care FAR more about pushing an ideology, than one of the most fundamental reasons why Title IX is important.
.
We all know that females are particularly vulnerable in certain circumstances. So separate bath / changing / shower facilities are critical and segregated sports are about basic fairness. Each of these is under BRUTAL attack and has ZERO to do with failure to interpret Title IX correctly. It has to do with the objective EVIL of a cult who seeks to destroy Western Society. I cannot speak to your circumstances, other than to say that school boards, administrators and those who sought to make a profit from Title IX did so for their OWN benefit and seems you were caught in the middle. As mentioned, this will happen with EVERY law and is not always because that law was poorly written (certainly is in some cases), but rather greed / malice of individuals or groups that game the system.

James Vesta ... @Lindy Peterson... Yes... while I was not always pro-life, I certainly never really considered what was the ACTUAL process of an abortion. The word itself, does not give hint to what is actually being performed. This notion of "it is just a clump of cells" or "not human until a heartbeat" is putting blinders on both sides and looking down this narrow tunnel of the only thing one wants to see... "not pregnant any more". The visceral image of actually HOW a baby is terminated is beyond brutal and why such discussions are NEVER had by anyone who is pro-choice. I would be wiling to bet, that if 100% of the populous that is currently pro-choice, would either change their opinion completely OR at least take no issue with aggressive restrictions (early in 1st trimester). I don't like it at all, but I do understand that we cannot possibly get 100% of the people on board with banning, so like ALL things that have been impossibly tied to the political, at least reach a compromise that ONLY the fetus can't live with!
.
Of course, that will not happen, because those who argue from a purely political perspective, are not willing to give ANYTHING, as it is considered a sign of weakness, so it is 8 months 31 days or bust! Something I had not thought directly about was a nervous system that must exist prior to "heartbeat", as this is the cut-off for the more rational of pro-choice people. Imagine how one would defend the literal ripping apart of a living creature (is human, but this reaches the defense we ALL have for living things) limb from limb and removed from inside the mother? I have to imagine that all but the most cold-blooded feminist ideologue, would have to "sense" the life from within screaming without voice!
.
Sorry to get so dark here, but as I got to writing it is just how it came pouring out :(
EDITED: 15 hours later to correct swapping pro-life with pro-choice where I misspoke.

@mazz4149 ... The Progressives (Marxist left of the Democratic party) or Regressives, as I prefer to call them, absolutely want a direct Democracy. Just as we did not need the Surgeon General to officially announce that cigarettes are bad for ones health, to know that they are! Actions speak WAY louder than words and need only look at the failure of the Biden "Build Back Better" bill that failed due to 1 single person... Joe Mansion, according to the Democratic party! No, they conveniently failed to recognize that there are approx 50 other senators who oppose that bill. A "true" Democracy is two wolves and 1 sheep arguing over what is for dinner! That is called TYRANNY and why we have the Electoral College and live under a Constitutional Republic. If not, politicians would ONLY pander to a handful of states and none of them would be in the middle of America.
.
I am not saying that all Democrats are Marxist, but the Regressives control their party and they ARE Marxists and absolutely want authoritarian rule. Just look at how ANY conservative values are treated and the MASSIVE censorship by big tech and that Biden admin directly reached out to FB, for example, to crack down on "misinformation". Exactly WHO is entitled to be the Tzar of information...? Fauci & the CDC, when it comes to Covid. This is called authoritarian, as only ONE source of information is acceptable and here we are nearly 2 years into a "10 days to 2 weeks" mask requirement.
.
I am not here to say that conservatives or republicans are all virtuous all the time, as that is ridiculous. What we have today is leftists SHOVING their "values" down everyone's throat and need only look at the ongoing attack of JK Rowling for the prime example of how they think. To them, you MUST adhere to the cult doctrine of Marxism or you are not even invited to the celebration event that SHE herself is 100% responsible for creating!
.
There are NO ultraconservatives who are influencing anything here. The problem is that the Democratic party has moves SO GD'd far left, that anyone who is to the right of Pelosi, is called alt-right! I could push back on this and give examples all day, but getting off topic here. If we lose the Electoral College America is DONE! We will have lost the greatest avenue for a peoples right to prosperity and happiness the world has ever known. There is a reason why so many people want to live in this country and it sure as hell isn't due to a systemically racist society, the Regressives ABSOLUTELY believe it to be.

@veganconservative1109 ... I agree. Of course, the berating you and I would get for saying this in open company, is that we want a return of slavery, but for the young as a whole. The problem is ALWAYS, that people think that legislation / laws can be written in such a way, as to eliminate one person taking advantage of another. As anyone with critical thinking skills will tell us, so long as humans exist, there will be a percentage that is malicious and will indeed screw over another... it is literally unavoidable.
.
If it ware abolished, there would be a certain degree of chaos, for some period of time, while the market worked it out, but it is best to recognize that it would land close, if not the same, as is currently mandated. It won't go up, because why would it...? It will not likely fall, as this would create a sheet-storm against whomever tried. In the end, not much would change at all, except the feds would have one more manner in which they seek to control private business.... removed from their grubby little laws.

@jgunther22 ... You are sooooo right, my friend :) There is a severe disconnect between the Democrat who votes to support the Gavin Grewsom's, Nancy Pelosi's, AOC's of this world and much of it is guided by the principle of Orange Man Bad. So long as trump was AGAINST something, they had better be for it. However, this is not about Trump, this is about the leftists who seek to LITERALLY destroy all that the Western World has built, in order to start a new from the ashes. Of course, their is no "plan" to create this utopia, except the idea that it will just magically pop up when all else is gone. They have no idea that once you take all of this away, we WILL have full anarchy and violence against each other this world has not seen in many thousands of years.

@theworld6710 ... Yes. As I have said above in multiple comments, Title IX was NEVER designed to punish men's sports, but due to the specifics of how it was written and the VERY bad actors who gamed the loopholes, there was some who said..."if women can't have a sport, men can't have one".
.
I get that it was striving for equal access and support of women's athletics (I am NOT a scholar on this legislation), but nowhere does it say..."if there are not enough women to create a league, facilities to support a women's division or maybe separate fields to enable such a division... we must ELIMINATE the men's division as punishment".
.
NO... that is not what it says and never what it was intended to do. Of course, those who are going after this law specifically now, having been in place for 50+ years, is NOTHING but a distraction from what we face today. The most important thing the legislation did, was create a SEPARATE division and private spaces intended to fill the specific needs of females in our society.
.
Yet here some of them are, talking about how the foundation of the house needs to be repaired, while the 2nd GD'd story of that house, is engulfed in flames! No doubt, that Title IX can use some tweaking to address those "loopholes", but since it is federal law that is being VIOLATED by multiple states, we certainly have MUCH higher priorities at the moment.
.
Even if it were tweaked again today, it would be FAR worse, because Democrats would allocate 90% of the funds go to gender studies in Poland and create an LGB museum in Venezuela!

@cainabel615 ... I hear you, but I told myself long ago, that I would do my best to not only understand, but be understood AND learn where / how I can do better myself. I am not perfect and I don't have all the answers and I absolutely have learned a TON of things, by speaking with those whom challenge my opinions.
.
Of course, since I pride myself on my ability to critically think, I have spent many, many years fine tuning my positions and, with the vast majority of them, reached a point where I have thought this stuff through extremely well.
.
It is clear that this person fails to understand why raising minimum wage, depending on how much, can be absolutely DEVASTATING to everyone in that society. There are many things not taught in our "education" system today and the one thing the Marxists NEVER want.... "critical thinkers". Critical thinking is the absolute enemy of socialism and I will continue to shed light on those who are trapped in Marxist bubble of evil.

@MosseChoker ... Since when was a minimum wage job designed to be enough money to pay for all you mentioned...? ummm...NEVER! They are designed for the first time work of a child (possibly supplemental income) for who has not yet left home and support most of the things they would want to do.
.
If one does not have enough skills to move beyond such employment, it is not societies responsibility (the taxpayer) to increase that minimum wage, so that you or anyone else can pay rent or mortgage, car payments, food and all the rest.
.
Now, we are unusually complicated by inflation, due to EXTREMELY poor fed govt. spending, but we cannot "spend" our way out of it, via taxpayer dollars. 100% of al of us has felt the burn of increased costs all over the place, so in such a case, a minimum wage job may be just the thing for that supplemental income mentioned already.
.
PS> As already mentioned in an earlier thread (may be on my own thread on this page), it is all but guaranteed, that minimum wage will not go down regardless. The outrage would be VERY high and the Joseph Goebbels Propaganda Media machine would be all over such employers like stink on sheet.

@mazz4149 .. Maz... not quite understanding you here, can you clarify for me? :) What America was founded upon, is a democratic Republic, but the Regressives want a "true" Democracy. That is because they have a majority in all 3 branches, so they are perfectly fine shoving tyranny down the throats of the rest of us. However, they completely fail to recognize that one day, hopefully VERY soon, that balance is going to shift BACK to conservatives. If the conservatives acted as the Regressives are RIGHT NOW, they would be screaming from the top of their lungs about how "authoritarian" rule. Of course, this is EXACTLY what they have right now, but are too damned stupid to grasp how evil it is. They feel as though they occupy the "moral high ground and conservatives are quite literally evil to the core, so they have no guilt forcing their Marxist agenda on everyone else.
.
The tide is going to turn here and they are going to get louder and MUCH more aggressive then they are right now, so we need to be ready for it!

@stevexracer ... BS. Simply because ther person is a "CEO", does not make them an instant ahole. If there is collusion between businesses, that is a crime and is punishable by law.
.
If we take your view to the obvious conclusion, than ALL companies would simply screw over everyone and guess what.. their products / service would SUCK, because the employees are not motivated to do a good job. If the guy next door, is paying lousy wages, than guess what... I am gonna pay HIGHER wages, to get skilled workers. When my business is selling more burgers and my place is always packed with customers, guess what... your company is going out of business, so you have 2 options.
.
a) Continue to be a damned fool and lose everything, or....
b) Raise your wages, so that good people WANT to work at your business.
.
I was part of a family business for 35 years. We did not last for the next 10 years, after I retired, to STILL in business today, by not being good to our employees. Just stop with the "corporate greed" BS, because "corporation" is simply a tax benefit for some, so it is not this trigger point of a good business turning evil. My workers knew DAMNED well, what other companies payed and If I wanted to keep them loyal, I had to pay them fairly often with increased benefits.

@snowcat9308 …. Yes, censorship is evil, but this is about age appropriate material, so it depends on the age of those whom have access to it. Best example, of late, is the gender queer books that were rightfully removed from grade school libraries. They were not and are not “banned books”. These are very graphic descriptions, with suggestive images, that are written in a way that is easilly understood / digested by sub 5 yo children (like cartoons).
.
I have no issue with books, movies that depict or describe same-sex images or scenes, but these are adult activities, so 18 yo is apprpriate. This is the age of concent, (some states are 16) because society has come to a determination, over thousands of years, that the cognitive development level increases over time. The process of complete development, has been determined to be approx. 25 yo.
.
There is a reason we do not let 5 yo’s drive a car, smoke cigarrettes or drink alcohol. They are simply not equipped with the cognitive understanding or discipline to make a healthy judgement call. There is a reason that “kids do dumb things” far more regularly than adults and is for the above reason.
.
Protecting the developing mind is not censorship…. it is called being responsible.

To take what @Peter Holubz has already said, but with some modification. No, I was once very proud to be an American, but am certainly not proud of what this country has become. I realize that what we see today, had its seeds sewn back in the late 50's, but this 3rd generation of socialists finally has enough infiltration to make its stand. I am indeed grateful to be an American, but I have grave concerns for where we end up when all this madness comes to an end. It most certainly will, but in the wise words of Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush , "We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost". There are far too many who will not stand for a socialist nation, and that includes myself, so I fear that civil war or at the very least a physical assault on our political capitol to overthrow the evil that wields this insane power is a very real possibility.
.
What I cannot imagine is how those that are the TRUE leftist ideologues will integrate into the society that is left after the above. Fortunately, the overwhelming VAST MAJORITY of these leftists are merely sheep. Oh sure, they think capitalism is evil and we should all have free healthcare and a place to live, but they are just regurgitating the party line to pander for social currency. Those TRUE zealots are just not going to make the transition and they will continue to be incapable of living amongst the rest of us. One thing is for sure... it is gonna be ugly!

@jesusfuentes9347 ... WOW, you just had to go there, huh?.. lol No, not a laughing matter, but we can see how contentious simple cell harvesting from an abortion can be, but imagine the image of an incubator with a legally dead newborn kept alive by machines, in order to harvest for others born with physical deformities and such... EEEK! Does anyone remember when this issue got VERY much into the public sphere when Ronald Reagan was president? The concern and in some cases it would absolutely be valid, that an aborted fetus could be "harvested" (drawing a blank at the moment for what this is called... someone help me) for such cells in the name of treating Parkinson's, cancer and such. Of course, we all know what would happen if we just opened up such cell harvesting from abortions, pretty much 98% of all abortions would be claimed as performed would be "not only for health of mother, but to help those in need".
.
It is really amazing the can of worms opened by issues surrounding abortion, isn't it?
EDIT: Just did a quick bit of research and there indeed have been / are cases of the incubator babies being used for organ "donations". Talk about an ugly image of factory harvesting of infants.... quadruple x10 thousand EEEK!

@new_t9478 ... Exactly. The problem, as I see it, is with the trans "activist".
.
I am 57 and live 30 miles from San Francisco. I say this, because I saw first hand and up close the long struggle for things like gay marriage. What I saw was a rightfully protesting group of people, wanting the SAME rights as everyone else. Now, to be fair, I think the BIGGEST issue that most have with gay marriage, is with the term " marriage". This is considered a religious term, as it is found in the bible. This is neither here nor there, but I do think it helps some to understand what much of the resistance was.
.
What we are seeing today, is not the "LGBTQ community" (hate that term, BTW), looking for equal rights, it is the trans "activist" (Twitter outrage mob) DEMANDING that we unlearn everything the Western World has ever come to know about male / female and toss it all out the window! They have made this NOT about adults who have gender dysphoria, but about erasing the entire idea of male / female completely.
.
Beyond that... they are telling us that children, as young as well below 5 yo should be consulted about or allowed to "decide" if they are a boy or a girl. This is ABSOLUTELY ABJECT INSANITY on every possible level. The trans "activist" is standing on the shoulders of what the G&L fought for back in the 90's, but without the reasoned approach they used to sway opinion.
.
They are using language, cancel culture (another way to say "destroy ones life") and CEO's who have infiltrated companies to SHOVE trans down our throats. This is all going to backfire in the HUGEST way and is all because the ACTUAL trans community is not pushing back against this utter madness.
.
I would be willing to bet, that 95% of all of this is coming from activists looking to virtue signal for social currency and POWER!

@new_t9478 ... OK... now you are losing me!
.
There is a VERY fundamental reason why those who oppose LGBT for youth, as this is a NON-adult (pre 18 yo). The human mind is not even fully developed until about 23 yo and people aren't even done with puberty, until a year or two prior to legally being an adult.
.
Going through puberty is difficult enough, but compounding that issue many times over, via hormone therapy or other medical intervention for those who have NOT completed puberty will can cause catastrophic damage to everything from reproduction to losing the ability to reach orgasm.
.
The OVERWHELMING number of people have no issue with trans, so long as it is ... A: done via consenting legal adult and B: NOT imposed upon those who are NOT adults... That's it! Now, there are most certainly other issues, like public bathrooms and ESPECIALLY women's spaces, but those could be worked out, but the trans activist has ZERO patience to even discuss these issues. Their "tolerance" is trans go into any / all women's spaces and everyone can just STFU about it!
.
There is ZERO light needed to shed upon the trans community, there is only the realization that tolerance is a TWO-WAY street! There WILL always be some that are simply not going to accept trans people... period! That is a very small number... but it ain't gonna happen, so that is just going to have to be accepted.
.
The HUGE issue, is the pushing of gender and sexuality upon young children. This is inappropriate, as we need to let kids be kids. There is no place in pubic education for non-binary or ANY genders beyond male / female as these are the ONLY genders that exist. Even intersex, who comprise under 1% of humans born, are not a "third" gender, as they are a form of birth defect. That does not mean ANYONE should be treated with less than 100% human rights, but that we don't take many thousands of years of human existence and tell lies to children.
.
Once these kids reach the level of legal adult... have at it. Take all the hormones, therapy and medical intervention you want... just stop asking for special privileges and live your best life :)

Yes, they do! Parents have been failing their children for a full 3 generations now, but Millennials failed in the most catastrophic of ways. They were too busy "having it all" and allowed their children to be raised by nannies, baby sitters, public "education", TV and the worst of the worst EVER to be fall human civilization.... social media! The mass of Gen Z stand for nothing except self-gratification and destruction of ALL that afforded them the opportunity / ability / right to do so. The problem with indoctrination, which is beyond question what has happened here... is that those who have been, have NOTHING to fall back upon, but the complete ruination of all they had come to understand.
.
Were society to "flip a switch" to instantly replace all of the HORRENDOUS ideas, understanding of history and reality of how the world actually works, their brains would be the robot in 1950's outer space "B" movies. Smoke will come out of the ears, arms flailing and "what are you doing, Dave" is all that will be heard. When their world collapses, and it most certainly will, we are going to see an absolutely MASSIVE surge in psyche patients and self-delete the West has ever known. It is going to take 3 generations to turn this around, only AFTER, society fully accepts that we need to do so!

@Hobbit Homes ... I am not altogether sure it can be saved any longer 😿The question is not that the cult will lose this fight, because they most certainly will, but how much damage can they inflict before doing so. Beyond this, how is it we can live amongst those whom have decreed you and I as evil? This is why the "Peaceful Divorce" idea will never work. Even if it were possible to divide up resources, in order to split the country, which cannot be done, BTW.... is it reasonable to consider that not only will the leftist cult leave us alone, once done, but will even abide by an agreement they make with the devil (their view of conservatives)? No, they will not negotiate in good faith, nor feel obligated to abide by any deal that was made. The cult is self-righteous and feels no obligation to treat those outside the cult with any level of decency.
.
Short of a 911 type of tragedy, don't even think that would do it today... unless the West has a catastrophic issue that forces unification, the cult will continue to divide us until there is but a single option that remains.

@simonstonesifer4951 ... Yes. The analogy of "two wolves and a sheep discussing what is for lunch" is about as good a descriptor as it gets! The leftist thinks ONLY with emotion of the moment and ads NO other considerations to the equation. They seem to think that since the state is completely controlled by the Marxist cult of ideology today .... it will remain so for the rest of time. Since the education system has catastrophically failed them, they are under the impression that the existing power will remain that way for the remainder of all time. They cannot comprehend that one day, the tables WILL turn and the new powers will have a VERY different idea and turn what is of HUGE benefit to them today, will destroy their entire world in the coming years. By destroy, I mean undo all of the damage the Regressives have succeeded in reeking in the last 5 years.
.
Now, society will take a HELL OF A LOT LONGER to fix than overturning CRT and trans in women's sports, but it WILL eventually happen, if not in our lifetimes. Leftists seem to think that the, what... 10,000+ years of human history?, those people just got it all wrong. They just flailed around and never got society right in all that time, and ONLY in the last 5 years have we figured out that none of what we had learned in that time was worth a sheet! It's funny, yesterday I was replying to a comment on another video. The guy called me a "narcissist" for praising the conversation as an amazing one (literally 2 years ago!), between Zuby and a man that has now been accused of killing multiple people in just the last couple days. He called me out by saying ..."the guy you called amazing, just murdered 5 people", and in a follow up comment, he said I should learn to spot ... "narcissistic behavior" better... lol.
.
Since the video comments were removed shortly after his post (my notifications still display his response), I was unable to not only praise him for being able to see the future 2 years off, but chastise him for not warning police of Mark David Chapman PRIOR to his murdering John Lennon. Or his hold grand father accountable, assuming his incredible talent of foresight is hereditary, for NOT killing Hitler when he was a small child, only to later begin WWII.
.
To think... he called ME a narcissist! :)

@monsterhunter445 ... Yes. she is far left. Although not nearly as far as AOC or some others, but her lack of back bone to stand up for what she has proclaimed in the past, is one of my biggest issues with her. Back when Clinton was under fire for his lies about what happened in the Oval with an intern, she said that we should not proceed with impeachment as there was not enough bi-partisan support and would divide the country... to this I agreed.
.
Fast forward to Trump... she said she would NOT vote to impeach, but then gave in to Regressives pressure and voted for it 4 separate times!
.
There was not even CLOSE to bi-partisan support, but she has TDS, so there it was. Now take a look at Jan 6th and how it was a "threat to our Democracy" crap. No.. it was a riot, not unlike the BLM & Antifa riots she supported for over 9 months!
.
EDIT: My last line was incorrect, as Jan. 6th was NOTHING like the "mostly peaceful protests" of those 9+ months! BLM, Antifa and their followers were responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, destroying countless businesses and lively hoods of hundreds, if not thousands of people. There was rampant destruction of LITERALLY anything or anyone who befell their eyesight and some 34 or so people were MURDERED, while many were beaten close to it. We witnessed a federal building barricaded with many people inside and the attempt to throw Molotov Cocktails through the window and BURN THEM ALIVE!
.
Where the hell was Pelosi and these PoS Democrats about that! This was a federal building, while not as politically significant as those involved on Jan. 6th, there was an ABSOLUTE AND INTENTIONAL desire to burn those people, mostly officers I understand, to death while they would have cheered like it was V-day, 1945! Pelosi is a PoS and she is leading the charge on Jan. 6th "insurrection" in order to froth up hatred of conservatives and most particularly.... Trump!
.
Hard to imagine how terrified the Democratic party fears this man, yet Pelosi and her party are still fixated upon him, as if he were still writing "mean Tweets". I am getting waaaaayyyy of track here, but suffice to say, you can call Pelosi anything you want, but regardless of the words decide to use, those I use will be far, far less kind :)

@youngthinker1 ... Again... that was not the spirit of the legislation. However, you and I should spend our energy arguing over this and ignore the object evil of beta-males taking rightful place in female sport, invading their shower, changing and dressing rooms, while the females are demanded to take "re-education" classes to be more accepting of their safety and privacy being devastated.
.
The original intent of Title IX was a good one, but like ALL legislation, bad actors got involved and added a bunch of pork that screwed that caused harm to male sport, when that was NOT the initial intent. It was bad actors and largely feminists who set out to "get even" and harm men... just as they do today.
.
Stop arguing over how it could have been written / implemented better and start focusing on the girls, ladies and women losing scholarships, having their dreams CRUSHED by weak ass beta-males and having to deal with same leering at them in their PRIVATE spaces and sororities.
.
Go ahead, bitch and complain about Title IX and ignore the EVIL that is happening right under your nose. Title IX is 50 years old, how about focusing on the present, eh?

@blackjay5338 ... Yes. Feminist ideology has long sought the attacking of men, in the hopes that it will somehow "lift" women. Well, if something hurts men, it hurts women and if something hurts women, it hurts men.
.
Feminists won the the battles that gave them equality of access, but that is not enough for the modern one... they must have "equity". This desire for equity is absolute evil, but they cannot see it or why it is so. Men are forever attempting to please women, so far, far, far too many have become beta-males in that attempt and look where it has gotten us.
.
Weak as beta-males invading women's sports and getting off on being in their private spaces. This is light-years from what masculinity wants to be, but since it is openly demonized, men are "trying" to appease what the feminist wants.
.
Society is dying due to failure of masculinity.

@HCP121 ... As I said, breaking treaties was obviously a breach of morality, though I don't know any details about those that were broken. Exactly nobody is denying ANY of the "uncomfortable truths" about America. Nobody denies slavery or refuses to teach it in schools, but we MUST account for the society of the time, for the context in which these things were done. None of which is an excuse to deem it as "acceptable", as slavery, like breaking a treaty is a moral sin. However, we must ALSO recognize, that those native tribes did 100% of those SAME THINGS to those whom occupied the lands before we conquered and took them for us.
.
In the end, we absolutely must recognize the wrongs, and for the most part, we do. However, there are those who would rather just see us beat ourselves up until the end of time, so that THEY get the virtue signalling points it seems you are attempting to gain right now.

Systemic racism no longer exists, but is not possible to eliminate racism completely. What I have always said is that white people put blacks where they are and blacks keep themselves there. Harsh words, but accurate. The leftists narrative focuses primarily on race because they SAY equity is the goal, but is actually to gain power in the so-called patriarchy currently controlled by whiteness... lol
The more I see of these WOKE people, the more I fear for our nation, because these kids have been indoctrinated with this crap their entire lives. Getting the SJW's to listen to any voice of reason is damned near impossible, but absolutely impossible for a white person.
Only black people will be able to make any headway and why we need more of the Candace Owens, Taleeb Starks, Tommy Sotomayor, Jericho Green, Brandon Tatum, Tracy Scott, Larry Elder and others to keep shedding light on how the Dem's have done nothing but hurt the cause of the black community.

@bludeuce3855 .. Yes... it certainly can be done and, as I said, we must ALWAYS try. However, there will be many who cannot make the leap. It takes them getting away from the blogs and the social media sites they are probably very fond. The issue is getting them into a one on one situation and willing to listen. I have spoken to hundreds online and would say I have made some headway, with well below 5% and was just some progress. I am a good communicator and do my best to make my positions from an emotional level, but at some point, they will have to be told facts that directly contradict their world view and where the issues tend to stagnate.
.
In the end, the biggest issue with un-indoctrination, lies with the amount of verbiage necessary to do so. While it takes only a few words to say "we are killing the planet", it takes a MASSIVE conversation, to point out why we cannot just drop fossil fuels and put up a bunch of solar panels and call it good. Those comments are WAY, WAY longer than the average mindset, who is used to 1 min TikToks that say "conservatives are in the pocket of big oil" will read, because tl:dr.
.
One on one conversations is what it takes and they have to be guided into participation. I will continue to try, but until we break up the teachers unions and begin hiring teachers on merit, rather than the number of pride flags they display in their 1st grade class... we are really F'd!
1
-
@user-dk9uo4tj1x Sure. However, I ask that you not tl;dr me and read this, because it takes MUCH more language to answer a question, than it does to simply ask it 🐱
.
1. How does capitalism promote prosperity: Take a look at the device you are using AT THIS MOMENT to read the words I have written. Chances are, this is not your first PC, cell-phone, iPad, laptop or whatever it is. Even if it is, it is an improved version (larger screen, better camera, additional memory, faster processing) than one say just a year or two ago. The ONLY reason you have that improved device or access to it, anyway, is because a person had incentive to create it, in order to make additional sales and guess what... make money to improve his / her life! (PROSPER) When I was co-owner of a family business, I retired some 8 years ago, there were probably 100 plumbing companies within a 50 mile radius. In order for MY company to be attractive enough to get one of the 150K people in that area to call my shoppe, was to offer better service, higher quality repairs or faster response time. My company opted to focus on higher quality materials, than most, as well as good ethics and very high quality of workmanship / training. While my shoppe was among the top 25, in terms of cost to secure our services, we prospered since 1976 and still going to this day. My company had over $1M in VOLUNTARY transactions every year, because we offered a specialized service that people CHOSE to pay for, due to the benefits listed above. I own my home outright since 2006 and have no loans of any kind, short of CC bill I pay in full every month and prospered well. 100% of my quality of life, my property, clothes I wear and the 3 PC's I had built in 2016, I owe to the PROSPERITY my company created for itself and the many employees who are doing just as well. Our company did not rip people off... we did not run a sweat shoppe and ALL of our employees chose to work for my company.
.
2. Forcing citizens into crippling debt: Well, first of all... exactly NOBODY is "forced" into crippling debt, they CHOOSE IT! I am HS educated and since I am 59, I was fortunate enough to just miss the Marxist indoctrination that was just starting when I was in my earliest grade schools. There are many reasons why schools are failing America, so I will focus on the most important.... why do people go? Seriously, why? The overwhelming vast majority of people who CHOOSE to enter in to that crippling debt, will get ZERO benefit from it. College today, is an indoctrination factory they use to churn out activists. The social scientists... GARBAGE! The only reason to pursue college is for STEM, medical doctorate degrees, lawyers and there are a few others. It is not MY fault, that people CHOSE to take on all that debt to become and activist, which has next to ZERO opportunity to find a job that pays one for such an "education", so why should I now be asked to pay for it (Biden's proposed debt cancellation legislation). These were young adults who CHOSE to take on those loans and then spent all that money taking stupid classes that have next to zero chance of affording them higher income than getting a starting job at Wallmart or the local stationary store in town. Most of my friends did that, while I started working for my dad's new business, in which he worked solo. I worked hard, I did the right thing and I helped my Dad's company PROSPER into many employees and ultimately retired with an income of $112K year. Again.. 100% of those who called my company (purchased from dad so he could retire himself in mid 2006) CHOSE to pick up the phone and call ME, rather than the 99 other companies who had "Plumber" written on the side of their truck. I could give you several more reasons why college is more expensive than I should be, but I will leave it there.
.
3. The problem with universal healthcare: I have written EXTENSIVELY upon this subject many times on this platform. This subject alone, requires 10x's more verbiage than already written above, to fully cover. However, I will give you a VERY abbreviated run-down of fundamental issues. This list is in NO way anywhere near complete...
a. People's life spans have increased by many years, over the course of the last 100 years
b. The older one gets, the more illnesses, disease they WILL get and some of them were a death sentence some 20 years ago (think cancer treatments, for a good example)
c. The reason those treatments exist, is because a person CHOSE to take on the financial burden of researching, testing and creating medications, medical procedures and equipment to do so
d. Those who invested that $$$ and resources MUST get reimbursed for that expense or the incentive is lost and they simply wont bother.
e. If there was no incentive to PROSPER one's life, most of those procedures, medications would have never been made
f. Companies invest millions, sometimes hundreds of millions of $$$ into research, developement to CREATE those things that have extended our lives, beyond the average 45 expected several hundred years ago.
g. In order for universal healthcare to function, it must have people who PAY, but do not utilize its services beyond very minor services.
h. As a person ages, he / she will need more invasive, more resource heavy procedures and medications. They will need more recovery time with physicians to care for them during it
i. This DEMANDS, that an ever increasing young population, be paying into the system for the ever INCREASING demands on that system with the longer living elderly who NEED those services
j. There comes a time, and we see it in UK, Canada and other nationalize healthcare countries, when the lines cross and rationing IS happening.
.
Again.. there is TONS more to healthcare, but will finish with the following. Capitalism is the most effective means of prospering a people ever created and why it has not been replaced. Capitalism is the ONLY reason socialism can be implemented, because the state MUST have resources, in which to steal and give to others. When the state ceases property, resources from the PROSPEROUS people, take a guess what happens...? They no longer have the incentive to prosper, so then become a burden to the system. This is why hundreds of millions of people have been eliminated by communist countries and they live under authoritarian rule. This is why people risk their lives to escape Cuba on rafts to come to America. Why citizens of Venezuela are "living" in horrible conditions and the ruler of the country lives in opulence.
.
Three things that exist within human nature:
1. human error
2. human ignorance
3. human malice / greed
So long as those exist, and little hint for you.. they ALWAYS have and ALWAYS will, those who have higher degree of #3, will ALWAYS seek power over others. When power is centralized (single source), that person can rule all with that malice and greed. When we have 100 people in power, referring to the plumbing companies in my area... each HAD to offer services that we VOLUNTEERED to engage.
.
I ask you to ADDRESS what I have written in good faith, as I just spent 45 min. writing it all 🐈
1
-
@? ... Firstly, I would like to thank you for not only taking GREAT lengths to respond to my question, but in good faith as well. I will be honest, I did not expect this, so you have my respect 🐱
.
However, what this fails to recognize, is the investment, time, energy and resources that created the opportunity to create those innovations. When I left my company, sold my shares to my brother who was just as responsible for growth over time, there were 6 full-sized trucks. Each truck had all of the equipment necessary to do roughly 90% of any repair we would be tasked to complete, in a given day. Each truck was roughly a $100K investment in base cost of vehicle and the rest in faucets, toilets, parts and tools. Each of those vehicles were paid for by the company, as the worker who was hired, was handed the keys. The building in which all of the offices were located, was separate from the warehouse where a MASSIVE stock of all the same parts in trucks, were used to re-stock them the following day. Each building...? $250K or so, but now we add the material and that makes it another $300K or so and then we have office staff, desks, supplies, computers and the like, in the office building. This is another $150K, but we now have 2 full-time office manager and financial officer, who make $60~$70K annually. The workers did not have to make ANY of those investments, yet they MUST have all of them, in order to generate a profit for company, which in turn pays THEIR salary, which I have not even mentioned, is guaranteed by the hour. So, my brother and I were financially responsible for 100% of those items, and a mega sheet ton more of insurance, electricity building maintenance that I have not even included in the above. This means, my brother and I have well over $1M invested and if a truck is stolen or the building burns down, we did not go to the worker to rebuild or pay for a new truck, we did so ourselves. Yes, there is insurance, but it does not come close to paying for the lost time to replace those items. Over the last couple years, my brother has had to deal with MASSIVE theft issues, in which trucks are broken into, catalytic converters have been stolen, holes cut in tanks of truck to steal gas. While this costs MANY thousands of $$$ to repair, we cannot hit up insurance every time, as premiums wold go through the roof.
.
Were the workers charged with the $$$ necessary to repair / replace the trucks or buildings...? No. Did the workers have to have their names as the ones responsible for ANY of those items...? No. Now, to get into why all of those costs exist and whether or not they are just or fair, is a COMPLETELY separate issue, but the point is... those costs DO exist and the workers are OWED those things as the employed. My bother and I take on absolutely MASSIVE financial responsibility and unless we do, not ONE of those workers are in a position in which they can create ANY of the billable hours to pay for ANY of those things. I have not even mentioned gasoline to keep the vehicles going every day or the many, many thousands of $$$ my brother had to invest in security around property, that only slows down many of the criminals who steal from him. He has installed cameras, but thieves spot the cameras, so avoid face being seen and they can break into a truck and steal many thousands of $$$ in tools in 15 min. The truck is then unable to be driven for at bare minimum of 2 days, as repairs / restock needs to happen. Were the workers handed a bill for those repairs...? No, they are not.
.
Again, we can argue why all of those things are what they are... but they ARE all expenses, risks and capitol expended by the owners so that we can dispatch workers to someones home and make repairs. If one of our guys makes an error and floods a home... many, many thousands of $$$, and EXTREMELY pissed off customer who now jumps on social media and bashes our company and 90% of the time, has the facts all wrong, yet the company has to pay for the repairs. Did I mention the insurance for a plumbing company..? Until one runs a shoppe, he / she has ZERO idea of the expense, risk involved. The worker is hired, guaranteed a certain salary, REGARDLESS of any of the above factors, so when my brother and I took THAT much risk... you are GD'd right, we are going to make enough money to be worth it for us to do so. That does NOT mean "exploiting" my workers and tell you that is EXTREMELY offensive to hear that from someone who has ZERO invested in what it takes to provide that worker a spot in my (my brother's) company!
.
There are further expenses / risks, but this is plenty to make my point. No doubt, in the next 1/2 hour, I will think of better examples and scenarios to illustrate why things are the way they are, but the fact remains they ARE this way.
.
PS> As for the "govt's roll", one must recognize something. The govt. creates exactly NOTHING, except the appropriation of it citizens taxes, hires thousands of full-time, full benefit guaranteed salary workers. They then build / support The Pentagon, White House, Congress / Senate / SCOTUS buildings, land, energy demands and all the rest only to THEN send about 5% that will directly benefit me. So 95% of every dollar we spend in taxes, goes to a mega sheet ton of OTHER crap, before I get any benefit. Ask yourself where the $100B in aid to Ukraine comes from, to mention 1 single item. How about the jobs DESTROYED by feds and state govt. shutting down businesses? Did my brother's expenses go down when people were scared to death of letting a stranger into their home to make repairs? No, they did not. My brother had to invest time / resources in to dealing with customer's concerns and that slows down productivity. Were the workers paid LESS for those considerations...? nope! Before you say.."it was just a mask", no.... it is extra time office spends on phone, addressing concerns. It is customers who try to communicate a problem through a mask and from across the room. It is customers who called my brother and said that HIS worker was responsible for getting them or child sick! THEN... they hit up social media and say that our company is spreading illness (you know which, but YouTube just deleted my comment for saying THAT word)!
.
Still more to say, but I already promised to stop... lol Again... you have my respect for a good faith argument to represent your position well.
.
YouTube KEEPS deleting my comment... :😡

@thomasjoseph5876 ... I currently own an 02 Saleen that I took to Griggs Racing and installed a full racing suspension under it. Don't drive it as much as I used to, but if I got 8K out of my tires, it was good thing... lol. I am not into going fast, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE x10 taking backroads and fast corners. Lots of fun to drive, but it actually wears you out after a few hours behind the wheel. The suspension is EXCEEDINGLY responsive, and run 10" / 11" wide 30 series race tires, so tramlines all over the place... lol. It can very easily look like a drunk driver, because of how it drives.
.
I am 57 now, so I don't drive it as hard as I used to. I was never a crazy aggressive driver, but I used to push it VERY hard in the corners of California HWY 1 up the coast. Still head up there once in a while, but drive much more conservative these days :)

@jonathanferguson2801 ... 2 questions:
1) PROVE to me this i not a natural occurrance, as Greenland has layers of frozen / thawed / frozen / thawed / frozen layers that are many thousands of years old. Tell me, how is it we can use science developed in the last 100 years, to extrapolate changes that have happened over a 100K? I have am absolutely fine with reducing carbon burning, but what do we replace it with? Don't tell me solar, wind, hydro, because they do not produce enough energy to sustain the population.... this is fact! We could cover the earth with solar panels and THEN we need a MASSIVE amount of batteries to store the energy we get. Those batteries require a MASSIVE amount of nickle and other very toxic minerals that guess what... WE NEED TO EXCAVATE! So, then what do we do about all of the holes and mining we do?
.
2) Do you know how much we would reduce the TOTAL carbon foot print of the globe, if America were to be 100% carbon free / neutral? .... less than 15%. If you want to reduce carbon, talk to India, China, Mexico and others who, guess what...pollute the EXACT same air we all breath!
.
How about you stop listening to those who push fear porn and recognize that they don't have solutions... only fear! Now, how about YOU pay more attention :)

@fuckcanadafuckyoutubefuckc4596 ... Plain and simple... minimum wage jobs are essentially zero skilled that require little more than a commitment to be responsible enough to do the task and adhere to qualifications of behavior... pretty much it.
.
A number of people have come into this thread, thinking that sweeping floors, cleaning up tables and taking out garbage, should pay enough to pay rent, car payment, groceries and support a family. They have ABSOLUTELY ZERO CLUE, as to what would happen, to ALL of the prices, of everything in their lives would be immediately driven up in cost. Beyond that, is the number of HS kids who would outright LOSE their job, because automation would increase and employees reduced, because businesses cannot afford to keep them all.
.
Just like soo many things in this world, Gen Z has ZERO idea how thing actually work, because they were indoctrinated to be Marxists.

@hautehussey ... RE: the markets aren't free though Ya, and if every aunt ever born had balls, we would have a twice as many uncles in the world! FFS! Exactly how many towns have a SINGLE person who owns every business in a town? Even if if did happen, the identical scenario as I described above would come into play. If workers are not happy, they will not be inspired to produce your product, so it will SUCK. Those people in town will not purchase products / services that SUCK, so someone will open their OWN coffee shoppe, hardware store (fill in the blank) and drive you out of business.
.
Wanna know states where everything is either state own or very closely controlled by the state...? Venezuela, Cuba, to name just a couple and they are thriving metropolis' right there!
.
If you have the answers, how about YOU tell us what system is better for elevating standard of living and turning 3rd world nations in to 1st. HINT: Whatever system you say... I will tell you PRECISELY how humans can F up that system. Go ahead, I dare you.... I double-dare you!

Candace: The biggest problem with the black community is father absence
Every rational person on earth: Yes
Hawk: The biggest problem is foot we eat
Every rational person on earth: ????... if so, then E-A-T B-E-T-T-E-R
Hawk: The fast food companies are poisoning us to keep us down
Every rational person on earth: So..... white people WANT blacks to suffer and continue divide because we like it....?
Hawk: YES!
It is so unfortunate that movements created to uplift blacks, raise this type of person to prominence. There is very little, if any, accountability for anything because of racism and police brutality. This guy has been within an echo chamber of every negative event that blacks have ever suffered and because.... racism.
Life is suffering..... Quick making excuses for why you can't succeed and succeed!
EDIT: Had to chime back in. Whenever Candace makes a point in which he cannot argue, he switches the subject. He wont own anything.... he wont accept it. On the subject of an ID, which every person over the age of 18 is stupid not to have, Hawk makes umpteen excuses for why blacks cannot get one. Yes, you need an ID to vote, to confirm that...
a) you are a legal US citizen
b) you are registered to vote, so at least 18
c) you are voting in the proper district
d) with no ID, you could vote unlimited times by going to a new location or different person... called voter fraud!
Hawk: "you see Republican or Democrat.... I see oppression" [drops mic]
Every rational person on earth: See yourself as a victim to forever be one and make your own life hell on earth.

@Cheryl Barlow... thank you for adding insight to these issues. You're correct, I have never been poor and have no doubt that poor food choices / options certainly contribute to the health of anybody. I don't have all the answers, but what is the fundamental change between pre-welfare and today? I don't recall the specific number of single black mothers now compared to then, but has gotten much worse.
Males need structure!!!! Without a father figure in the home, he gets it on the street in the form of others in the same predicament. This is what leads to gangs and anti-social behavior, so this is why father absence is key here. Even if the mother is required to show where the father is living, if he is not at home, it is bad enough. But if he isn't in the picture at all, the child is raised by the local streets. Welfare punished women for having the father in the home, by way of reduced payments. If the father was "raised" on the streets, then he is far less likely to be there for his own child and the cycle continues.
I am not black and my father lived in my home, but I understand human nature pretty well and have been following other black conservatives. Larry Elder, Brandon Tatum, Coleman Hughes, Tommy Sotomayer and a few other social commentary types like Tracy Scott. The consensus that I see from all of these people and from many YT videos by all types of others is father absence.
I pay very little attention to liberals take on all of this, as they have been almost exclusively in power in the hardest hit places of poor black neighborhoods. Take a look at the issues of Chicago a while back. Not only Democrat, but overwhelmingly black leaders and an absolutely horrible results for blacks in schools. Liberals came up with affirmative action and is another program that had good intentions, but ultimately is bad for everyone. Look at the bias for admission to college and universities. Blacks get an edge, by getting accepted, but then are below standards and often drop out, because they are well below the average of the other students. They cannot handle the difficulty of the higher learning schools, so they struggle and harms not only their self-esteem, but would have excelled in another school that was balanced to there admissions score.
I think Hawk made the same old excuses to give blacks a reason to fail. Candace and all of the others I mentioned, are looking to give blacks a reason to stop making excuses and thrive!

@manaloola2018 ... Hello, Ms. She who has a really cool view from her window 😸I hear you, but that is a double-edged sword. The bigger issue, is not that the guests name is controversial, but that ANY name associated with anything OTHER than the prescribed doctrine of the leftists... is, as you are saying... dismissed out of hand. So long as this is the case, a person may click the video, but he moment he / she sees it is such a person as described, they will leave the video, having made for themselves the conclusion of its content. This is a failure of society and a name change is just not going to do that.
.
I recognize your point, but you and I are not dictated by that doctrine, so even if a video had an interesting or intellectually enticing title, but was someone with whom we may not agree or even like, you or I might still be intrigued enough to follow through watching, due solely because of that "intellectually stimulating" title. In the end, due to the doctrine that prescribes PragerU as right-wing extremists who are anti-black, "transphobic" and push white supremacy, such a person does not even have to read the title, in order to instantly dismiss as "right-wing MAGA propaganda".
.
A couple years ago, Amala was on a college campus and going to do a talk with Q&A afterword. Well, she went outside to talk to the hundred or so protesters (let's not even talk about the INSANE fragility of college students who are literally incapable of listening to an opinion they have decided well in advance is absolutely racist, but told by a black woman!)... anyway, she went out to talk with them to see what it was they took issue. Invariably over the course of say 6 or 7 minutes, Amala spoke or tried to speak with 20+ protesters. She was calm, polite, respectful and simply asked, why do you protest? She offered to hear them out and allow them to speak their mind and express the issue. Well, those who would even respond, just make blanket statements of "PragerU is racist, sexist, ablist... " the list goes on. She was saying ..."look, I am a black woman. Why would I work for a company that is overtly racist?". Well, as you and I are both VERY well aware.... logic, facts and reason have no bearing whatever to the indoctrinated. They have decided that PragerU is all of those "ists" and, due 100% because of someone who TOLD them this was the case and that person was told by someone else who ALSO had no good faith experience with PragerU.
.
In the end, the overwhelming vast majority of the indoctrinated cannot be helped. This is because they were not "brainwashed", as we would call it... they NEVER had proper understanding of nearly everything they were taught, because the absolute PURE EVIL of the "educational system" they were exposed all their life, did not seek to educate them. They simply wanted soldiers for the cause. To expect those college students to listen to Amala, as to see machines in the old science fiction movies, where the robot has a melt down, because it could not process the information it was provided. Smoke comes out of its ears and it mutters .."what are you doing, Dave?" over and over until it dies. These college students have no "brainwashing" that can be undone, because their ENTIRE world view is built upon a lie. To undo that lie is simply not possible, lest we see that robot melt down. The moment one of them starts to see THAT melt down approaching... they shut off communication, say something vile to Amala... or just walk away.

... Sadly, I have found that the vast majority of those who would also detest this WOKE as much as you and I, are just not paying attention. They have fallen for the word-game that the progressives use to disguise what is really happening to our society. I have got to say, that the leftist plan to destroy not only this nation, but the entire western world could not POSSIBLY have been orchestrated better! Now, it will one day collapse, for about 25 reasons I can come up with off the top of my head, but ultimately because its idiotology is riddled with contractions.
.
My own mother insists that she is of a conservative nature, if not politically, but has 100% fallen for the leftist narrative and will literally get up and pace around the room shaking saying... "I don't like that man" (when I say "literally" I mean exactly that!). We are talking like the mother of a 3 yo child in the emergency room being operated on for 12 hours with the chances of survival @ 3% shaking! Weird as this may sound, it is my hope that she does not live long enough to see this Progressive house of cards come tumbling down. The shock of learning she was 100% blindsided by what had happened to our culture to bring about this administration, would make her see Trump in a whole new light and I honestly think it would give her a stroke!

@rosenthaldiscount ... Do you remember how INSANELY opposed the Regressives were about a vaccine during Trump's admin in early months of 2020? I remember vividly how every one of them was saying how they could NEVER possibly trust anything that Trump would authorize, as if he was planning to sneak into the lab and injecting Clorox into the finished samples set for human testing. They spoke, quite literally, as if Trump was not only just fine with people dying of a poisonous vaccine, but that he actually WANTED people to die, because he was a Nazi, white supremacist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, authoritarian tyrant hell bent on wiping out the human race!
.
Zeducation did a video a while back with excerpts of video of everyone from Pelosi, to Gov. Cuomo, AOC to Shumer and the whole lot of them saying they would NEVER take a vaccine created under the Trump admin. Of course, it is that EXACT SAME VACCINE that has 100% of the Regressives doing everything in their power to convince the world that death is a 100% certainty if the are not jabbed with that very vaccine.
.
As for your words on mandates... I am 100,000,000,000,000% with you and Biden will trample all over The Constitution, Bill of Rights and States rights in order to shove the leftist agenda down our throats. The GOP has NO ballz and have failed to give a collective FU to his authoritarian mandates, so "We The People" are going to have to push back ourselves. Sooner or later, the leftists will go on micro-aggression too far and the sheet is going to hit the fan and HARD!

@snowcat9308 ... You are just itching for some sort of confrontation here, aren't you? The book "Gender Queer" (think that is the full title, but do not even want to search to confirm), discusses VERY graphic details on sexual interactions, between characters in the book that are minors. If you think it is necessary or even OK, to have books that must be censored when read on national TV or school board members telling parents that reading from such books is unacceptable in their meetings, than you have VERY different ideas about what should be in taxpayer funded schools with children of the age that book was meant as reading level. So, as per your inference, it is OK for 5 yo's to be exposed to the very graphic details of sexual interactions between children of around this age, because what.. "they won't get it?". Well, kids being kids, will go out and experiment with putting a boys p** in another boys mouth to see what the fuss is all about.
.
Children of the age that book was meant to academically reach, are FAR below the age of understanding the dynamics of such interactions and the risk of a very wide range of social, health and stigma related societal issues. They have ZERO business being exposed to this part of the human condition, as children lack the cognitive ability to discern, as well as the inhibition to restrain from adult activities. See, you ARE taking the least faith interpretation, as I don't distinguish "gay" relationships from "straight" ones, when it comes to the age of those we are talking about. You are trying VERY hard for a gotcha, by your use of language here and I find it very curious indeed.
.
This has NOTHING to do with being gay or straight. My concerns here are with the appropriateness, or lack there of, for the age of the students with access. You are the one who has and continues to make this a "gay" issue, so you are seeking to paint me as anti-gay or homophobic in line with the "modus operendi of the right". I don't take my cues of morality from Daily Wire, PragerU or anyone on the internet. You are the one whom is conflating issues of my concerns of exposure of sexual material to young children, is somehow anti-gay motivated.
.
Your last line sums up your agenda perfectly. I am talking about a book with very graphic detailed descriptions of human sexuality in a grade school library and you think this is me trying to hide or conceal children from knowing gay people exist (your words). Kids will naturally begin to "experiment" with such things described in this book, rightly or wrongly, in due time and is in overwhelming amount of cases, during puberty.
.
Let me ask you this... is Gender Queer SIMPLY about gay people and their "interactions" with each other? Do we allow Penthouse magazine in the schools? Do we allow unfettered access to the internet to children of this age? If not, why not? Serious question. Can we just allow kids to be kids and figure out all this stuff, as they have for the last, oh.... I don't know 100K years? Do we need to have graphic descriptions of sexual acts being performed by children and with reading level comprehension that reaches young children? Do we REALLY need that, in order to tell these kids... that "gay people exist?". Is this the academic path in which you feel is best for a child to first learn of gay peoples existence, by describing how to perform a b*** **b on another student?
.
Society can do better to show how various people show physical affection, but how about we wait until they are a LOT better emotionally, physically and cognitively able to incorporate it into their lives? The overwhelming vast majority of full grown adults will STILL say it is too young to grasp the gravity of such interactions (pregnancy, emotional attachment or the removal of its importance and even disease). This is not and should not be about "sex" alone. It is about a bonding that will happen when shared with a person of whom, I would hope that care deeply for one another. If not, than sex becomes a simple act of pleasure and we can see OF an the VERY high number of young people whom have access to pr0n and often times before they have even had it. This cheapens the experience and lessens that "bond" one should feel, when with a very close partnership. This strengthens not just a marriage, but long-term relationships, so that these two people, irrespective of their gender, share something special that ONLY they do. This creates an intimacy and a "value" that we are losing, when it comes to sexual interaction.
.
I could go on and on, but I would like this to be a conversation, so.... please let me know your thoughts :)

@snowcat9308 ...OMG, my last comment ACTUALLY remains, so is the first one in the last ten. I understand, you do not want conversations that belong in THIS threat, on your channel, a that is a perfectly reasonable stance and feel exactly the same way myself. However, had you ACTUALLY read those comments, you would understand why I put them there, as well as my apologies for doing so. Instead, you simply delete them and then block me from posting normal positive comments about your cute cat videos. I kept the political comments OFF of your videos, because the "Community" tab is off the beaten path and you had no user comments there, prior to my using that page.
.
I check today and... BOOM, my last comment actually still exists. However if YouTube decides to delete this one, I again will have no way to reach you. On to the topic at hand....
Bad faith: YES, you are arguing in bad faith, because I already told you about 1 book "Gender Queer" and is 100% sexually explicit material. It is written for lower-grade school reading levels (circa) 1st and 2nd grade and has ZERO place in public school library where that age child has access. Your gaslighing and denial that this book is sexually explicit and presented in the reading / comprehension level of the ages of children I just mentioned, shows how you are arguing in bad faith.
.
There are other books, but that one is by light-years the most well known, as MFL (organization of female parents against such material ) have been wrecking the likes of Joy Reid and Bill Maher, to name a couple, by simply reading that book aloud to them. Joy Reid is the worst of the worst, when it comes to HORRENDOUSLY bad faith arguments, yet those two Moms read from that book and Joy still tried to defend how it was "banning books". This is an outright lie, because keeping such material away from those age children is not censorship nor banning... it is the right thing to do. As I said, in the comments you conveniently failed to read or at least fail to acknowledge you read.... another example of bad faith. Whether wont acknowledge having read them or to NOT have read them and repeating the same question as above, is concrete evidence of your bad faith position.
.
That same book has been read aloud in many [board meetings of "educators"] and those who run the meetings, shut down the microphone, for the reading of explicit pr0n, within the meeting. That [board] calls that book for what it is during the public meeting forum, yet is directly responsible for that book being made available to children 12+ years younger than the 18 year old minimum America has said (via laws) across the country. The banning of books and keeping them from such age children are not the same thing and you know this to be true. Avoiding this SPECIFIC issue repeatedly and asking me again to tell you which books.... is yet another example of bad faith.
.
Furthermore, it is 100% irrelevant that this book happens to be about gay interactions, as it would be precisely as explicit were it identical, but was male / female CHILDREN depicted within it. You have proven to me, in just the same way as probably 50 others whom I have tried to hold this conversation, that you will duck, evade, obfuscate, straw-man and gaslight me, in order to avoid answering the following question...
.
Why is it that you refuse to recognize that book for being [s** e****] and specifically presented for children of the age mentioned above? You have conflated the ACTUAL Issues of such material and told me that I and others whom feel the same way, are seeking to "hide or deny the existence" of gay people. The answer has been made abundantly clear, multiple times within this thread (and the comments you fail to acknowledge on your "Community" tab), by me and by every person who has publicly called for its removal from elementary school libraries. Yet... here you are speaking as though this has NEVER been said and earlier claimed it as an excuse to avoid teaching children about gay people. I have proven multiple times this is a lie, so more proof of your bad faith position.
.
We do not allow unrestricted access to internet, via the schools these children attend, nor do we allow [Top Floor of hotel magazine] or [adult activities] visual recorded media to exist there, so tell me... what is the difference between the book we are discussing and these particular items, listed immediately above...? Hint: NOTHING!
.
PS> If this comment remains for you to see, I will be absolutely shocked, because replies that expose the agenda are not welcome here.
PPS> I still have that comment that was posted on your "Community" tab. As a conservative who knows what it is like to be censored, I back up those comments that come within 500 miles of "wrong-think"

@snowcat9308 .. OMG.. Yes. Educators who want to children to be exposed to material that is SPECIFICALLY meant for adults. You, know, literary depictions of acts! Those depicted are of years under the lowest legal age in US. So, as per YOUR definition, if it is a "personal experience" of someones "gender identity", than the idea of adult behavior is mute?
.
Children do NOT need a deeper understanding of activities that are ONLY legal ones between adults. A book, that discusses activities that are ONLY legal between adults has no place in a public school library, where not only accessible by minors, but written SPECIFICALLY for them to understand.
.
As for "politely", what you are telling me, is that I am ONLY spouting that which has been told to me and because I disagree with you, that I have obviously not done any thinking for myself. What if I was to say..."I would like you to politely ef off"? Using "politely does not make it less insulting, but actually more so. Your telling me to seek other sources of information, is you not just being condescending, but narcissistic, arrogant and self-righteous, because YOU think you know better than I.
.
That book is written for children, yet with very adult themes, so has no place within publicly funded libraries.

@timothycai6534 ... While I agree with you in principle... I will shift topics a bit to say there are things one can do to forfeit that life, in my opinion. Many who are pro-choice will take issue with those who are pro-life over capital punishment and seek to cry hypocrisy. There are certainly many who are pro-life, as well as against capital punishment, however... I am not one of them. I believe in due process and, in the cases of death penalty, guilt be proven well beyond a shadow of a doubt. Prison sentences create problems of their own as they should absolutely be about punishment. But, f we just put someone in there and "poke them with a stick" for years /decades, how are they likely to be released one day and fit into a "normal" society? This will ALWAYS be a problem, so long as we have the current system in play, but I will NOT pretend to have an answer for all those that would challenge me on rehabilitation. Of course, I would absolutely agree that without rehabilitation and just using that stick for years is always going to leave a large percentage of parolees VERY bitter, so much more likely to commit crimes again once released.
.
Wish I had a great answer for the issue of federal / state prisoners being released as worse than they went in, but the only way to reduce that number is spend a HELL of a lot more money and resources into rehabilitation. We all though abortion can be a divisive issue, capital punishment can be equally contentious :(

@cheezedoodlenygguh6229 ... It is funny to have this conversation with a "whamen that don't need no man". If women literally vanished from earth over night, society last less than 100 years (ignoring any and all other factors that WOULD have an impact). However, theoretically, if MEN were to vanish, society could probably last for many thousands. There would be "harvesting" of sperm and freeze them, so women could STILL populate for a long, long time. Of course, when the toilet stops working, the car stops running or the roof needs to be replaced.... there is NO WAY in hell society would continue that long. There ARE female roofers, plumber and such, but not NEARLY enough and there are just not enough women to fill all of those rolls.
