  1.  @dracodraco1982  Do you think that a person suffering from gender dysphoria and going through puberty is exceptionally stable, unlike most teens? If so, they don't need treatment. They're doing great.

  2.  @ruebert8089  Prove that no instructor, not even a guest lecturer, can have a romantic relationship with any student of that university, regardless of the age of the people involved. Then prove such a policy not only exists, but should exist. You're talking about invalidating some marriages.

  3. ​ @jrjr7390  No one should tell you, much less coerce you. They should provide you with solid advice.

  4.  @fortusvictus8297  Non sequitur. It was made clear that he was never the instructor of any of the people he dated, and did not pursue romantic relationships with anyone where his status could make them feel pressured or beholden to him. Any of these people could have said "no" without fear of ramifications. They had no idea he was "a big shot." He did not use it as leverage. I don't see a problem with workplace romance. If there is a conflict of interest, one or the other needs to get a new job before they pursue the relationship. So, they are now two people who met at work, rather than online or at a bar. So?

  5. Erm . . . Are their profit margins tightening? "Affecting" is rather vague.

  6.  @ab8588  So weird. Three generations of my family lived part of their lives in Argentina, I'm trilingual but my fourth language (Spanish) is very poor. My father took lessons when he was around 50, to improve (his was not good, either, to be honest). Spanish is awesome, the verbs are like Latin, practically -- why don't these people take the time to learn it? Good for the brain.

  8. No, squishing something valuable that could go to a poor kid is grotesque.

  9. Looks like facial recognition software for eyes only just doesn't cut it. Back to Plan A.

  10. Batya is brilliant. She tops herself every time, too.

  11. Slight signs of slight damage to slightly important organs, like the heart and the brain. Good thing we have two of each, huh?

  12. Trying to hide something or trying to make us think they are trying to hide something.

  13. Anyone starting lawsuits? Sounds like only that might free you.

  16. COVID ruined me also. I can never retire. Twenty years ago, I was literally secure. My income then would cover a modest but perfectly fine life now. I can hardly believe it.

  17. ​ @jessicajensen1976 So they will vote for President Poop the Pants? Good. The faster American hegemony falls apart, the fewer people globally will die.

  18. As long as it makes money, they will. Same for everything -- adulterated food, poor education, unproven pharmaceuticals, perfidious social media, devices that provoke behavioral addiction, fraudulent foundations and NGOs, unjustified wars. Everything.

  19. My education changed how I think completely. I was a product of inner city public schools, K through 12, where the majority were children of immigrants. There was no comparison pre-advanced mathematics and logic in college, and post. I was a different person, post. My advanced degrees did even more for me.

  20. Not only that, but were it actually true, it would be useful to provide the information. Not everyone knows the subtleties of this stuff. People make an innocent mistake sometimes --- if not this guy, perhaps others. This reporter gives no indication she cares one whit about informing anyone or improving anything. I am sick to death of these people.

  21. Original footage should be given to all journalists. If one group lies about it, the other can demonstrate that they did. Government isn't supposed to show preference.

  22. You are truly lost.

  23. Everyone knows there are two sets of laws, one for rich, one for poor. But no one knew it was this bad.

  24. Kendi sounds like a grifter who doesn't care if he drives people to support the ACB nomination, as long as his own checkbook is fattened. Controversy = Attention, for him.

  25. I remember when I was in grammar school, the girls just several years older than I was sought out rock bands, to be groupies. THIS is what the billionaires and royals are emulating, and consider themselves entitled to. They want to be rock stars. Yeah, it is that stupid.

  26.  @beansdestroyer  I'm a leftist. I don't think the material world bends to our delusions, or to our most heart-felt wishes. I don't know what was worse, the mandates or this.

  27. Angie Speaks is so perceptive. This turned out to be a great segment because of her.

  28. I feel sorry for religious people.

  29.  @gdiwolverinemale2745  I didn't say it was a linear relationship, and it is obvious that it couldn't be. But nice try. I thought everyone knew about things like marginal value, diminishing returns, etc., which characterize economics. You know, optimization problems; Economics 101. Re: "national balance sheets" We've had about 40 years of reducing taxes on capital, which has then purchased government bonds and become the government's creditor -- instead of paying taxes, they collect interest on the national debt. In the meantime, industry, farming, and fishing are gutted while the service sector grows. Laws which prohibited banks backed by the government from taking certain risks in highly volatile securities markets have been repealed. Gee. What could go wrong? Oh, I don't know. It should be a blast to find out. In the meantime, go after seniors. BTW, do you have any familiarity with France? When people get their pension, which secures their basic needs, come what may, they don't usually retire. They very often open their own shop. Sometimes they even paint, or write. Did you ever wonder why you have to say "bonjour madame, bonjour monsieur" when you walk into a boutique? It's not owned by some conglomerate, it's that older person's joint.

  30. Conflict of interest -- no, it is NOT okay. Report her to the bar for that. I don't believe she has an excuse. She should have no involvement in this going forward.

  31. I was just sense or . . . Well, can't say that word, either. My post supported the First Amendment rights Shapiro seeks to deny to others. No bad words.

  32.  @thedevilsadvocate5210  Yes, that is horrifying.

  33. Marianne Williamson is clearly the best candidate? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  34. Looks more and more like RFK Jr is being deliberately undermined. Corbyn was destroyed on this issue in UK, and not only Corbyn, but all the Labour Party dissidents from the neolib, WEF party line. They tried it on Melechon as well, and had less traction, but may have had enough to keep him out of the second round in the French presidential election, thus resulting in a Macron-Le Pen rematch, to great disappointment. SOUND FAMILIAR?

  36. She made solid points. She rejects these sentences, like every rational, well-informed person.

  37. Haaretz has been criticizing AIPAC for years. Many of their columnists consider AIPAC to be interferring in Israeli elections. This is vital to note. It's key to understanding who AIPAC is.

  38. ​ @tethergobrrr She disagreed with his opining on the matter, as though it is a slippery slope from Maher's expressing his opinion to prohibiting treatments for everyone else. It isn't. It just really isn't. It's another perspective on the issue. He attacked no one. If and when he does, fine. Push back then. But he did not, at all. :/

  39.  @Bierdaddy1  Robby suggested reasonable sentences. What's with extremist thinking 24/7/365?

  40. Let's see if I understand: corporations have transferred production of most pharmaceuticals to India and China, to benefit from lower labor costs. Now, when India needs COVID vaccines, we are going to assert patent rights. Gates is smart, huh?

  41. They are all crazy, and feeding each other's craziness. This isn't amusing anymore.

  42. Pushing back on Trump now raises the unfortunate issue of HUNTER. Duh. The Democrats and the country needed a stronger President.

  43. Rachel has immense self-mastery. I hope she laughed off camera.

  44. Do nose jobs cause fertility issues? Ever?

  45. Beautiful.

  46. Anyone who can be duped into voting for Biden or Trump AGAIN, well . . . I have no words. This has become absurd. I know people with better qualifications and personal qualities to become president. We all do.

  47. I know. It is sick.

  48. I want that doctor! 🤣🤣🤣

  49.  @carsythe  I doubt that most adults who are severely dysphoric can make a sound decision. Are you willing to allow a child to sue later, for being treated before age 18? Or are you determined to shield doctors from all liability, no matter what the circumstances? Do we have a good model of what permanent gender dysphoria is? I don't want to see these treatments made criminal, for the sake of the one person in two or three million who truly needs the care as early as possible. But the doctors are not regulating themselves. We know that. Whatever happened to holistic medicine??
