  30. @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.

  57. ​ 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.

  60. ​ @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.

  72. ​ @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!

  126.  @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!

  127. ​ @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 :)

  143. ​ @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! :)

  144.  @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 :)

  159. ​ @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 🐈

  160. ​ @? ... 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... :😡

  162.  @user-dk9uo4tj1x  .. Well, true to literally 100% of the time I have debunked socialism, universal healthcare and the "evils of capitalism"... I get one of two responses. One is "I disagree" or similar and no counter to ANYTHING I have provided. TWO is to not return to have any response at all! . Take 5 seconds and consider that your local large chain grocery store has about 20 different brands of ice cream and in various sizes. Has 1K plus bottles of wine, multiple types of milk, 8 varieties of apples, and 100K items. Now consider that there are probably multiple different stores withing a 5 minute drive. Ever stop to consider that NO such options exist in Cuba, Venezuela or socialist countries..? Want to know why... BECAUSE CAPITALISM! . Capitalism drives DOWN prices... drives UP availability and UP quality. If a worker can get higher pay at Lucky than Safeway... he / she give a job application to them and seeks to improve their life. Workers are NOT exploited, they are free market entrepreneurs!  . Your "education" has failed you! Stop listening to idiots who have used the VERY system to get where they are, only to tell YOU that you don't need that system. Guess what... you use that system EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE and has afforded you the opportunity to engage with me from some other part of the world. . I could go on and on for LITERALLY months, about the benefits of capitalism and that it is NOT capitalism that makes people do evil things... it is lack of a moral way to live.

  193. 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.

  194. @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!

  201. ​ @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.

  206. ​ @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!

  213. ​ @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 :)

  215. ​ @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"
