Youtube comments of Aaron Rosenberg (@aaronrosenberg6633).

  1. "Her whole life is not liking me." Is that statement not the definition of narcissistic personality disorder?

  2. Hey TED! Stop incorporating pop-up boxes before the talk is finished. It's annoying, and in this case, blocks important information. Thank you.
    284
  3. So funny how fixated Trump is on Biden, where Biden just can't be bothered with Trump. More important things to do, like running a country.
    184
  4. Seeing him at all is too much for me to take, even though his stupidity is entertaining, but thanks for your fine work just the same.
    157
  5. Lana Voreskova If you can't see that she was not talking only about herself, then you are being willfully ignorant.
    72
  6. I know a kid, around 18 or 19 years old, who works with an Executive Function Coach. Apparently, he has some issues with his executive function, and his coach is with an organization that works with people with these issues. I felt bad for the kid because even with the help of his coach, he was unable to pass a college course he enrolled in. He didn't show up to class 50% of the time and rarely did his homework. He's a bright kid, too.
    70
  7. "It is the finding by Judge Beryl Howell that the crime fraud exception to the attorney-client privilege applies, which precluded Corcoran from trying to assert that he could not reveal his communications with Trump—along with his notes and along with certain audio files and other written communications—that he had relating to his representation of Donald Trump." That is one hell of a sentence, Ben. You'e going to have to give me a moment to parse that out! ...... Okay, got it!
    44
  8. Lana Voreskova " I am certainly not interested in listening to a lot of vapid self obsessed nonsense about someone else's feeeelingz." That must be because you don't understand what human potential is. That means you're empty inside, and for that I truly pity you.
    40
  9. Define "weak." An important message here is, are you strong enough to be vulnerable? Honesty is a powerful stance, much more powerful than being "manly."
    40
  10. +viperstrike0 "i dont think sexual preference should be something that brings you pride" I don't think it should have to either. But sometimes when all you're taught is shame, you need pride to balance things out.
    39
  11. His subject is men. He is emphatically not saying women are perfect. Lack of criticism toward women does not in itself mean he believes that "all women are these flawless angels who do not need to work on themselves." Again, that's your personal inference, based on some bias you hold, about which I cannot know unless you come clean.
    38
  12. That she lost you is only your own fault. I know astrology is bullshit, but she's intelligent, articulate, and worthwhile despite that comment. Learn to filter.
    38
  13. +Tyler Wyat Guess you didn't have watch it after seeing the title, did you? And the message you chose to receive was really not their point at all. Seems like some willful ignorance on your part.
    37
  14. How cool this is. So many LGBTQ people have not only rural roots, but also industrial small-town roots and many other types of roots. Integrating our upbringings into our whole selves can sometimes be a challenge on many levels. Katlego Kolanyane-Kesupile speaks to this with great eloquence.
    33
  15. "he seems to be coming with a perspective that all women are these flawless angels...." I don't think so at all, nor do I think he implies this. I think you infer it.
    32
  16. Apparently, you do not get it.
    32
  17. +sukirani Yeah, it's kind of surprising, isn't it? Sad.
    31
  18. +kreacionista Don't despair. While the internet is full of wonderful new information, it's also where bigots goes to die.
    28
  19. Who is "we"? I do want what he's proposing. And I think it should start with you.
    28
  20. foday S You're an idiot, and you completely missed the point of the video. 
    26
  21. This is what I was thinking, too. When she said that an attacker/abuser can't help but have his life darkened by such actions, I was asking myself, "What about the sociopaths?" Still a great talk, though.
    26
  22. 0ptikz I think that if a listener has feelings of guilt after listening to this, it's because he has poisoned his own well.
    25
  23. Troy Nguyen Your fragile ego hurting, little girl? 
    25
  24. I agree. If it weren't for that pesky delusion of an "afterlife," we'd be in much better shape.
    24
  25. I do not see hims as trashing men as a gender. He is not saying that being male is inherently bad. He is only speaking of our complicity in our own undoing as well as our historical oppression of women. This is a real thing - toxic masculinity, despite how much people want to ridicule the concept. It can be uncomfortable when a man who's done some serious introspection holds up the mirror to other men. "Guys who go out of their way to get women on their side usually have an ulterior motive." I think that's your personal cynicism talking. "If a woman gave a similar talk where she was claiming only women are the problem...." But there you go again. His talk isn't about "only men being the problem." It's talking about the problems that many men have.
    23
  26. TED has expanded on its topics. If something doesn't interest you, you're free to not watch it. That's all there is to it. Of course, sniveling about it is what you'd prefer. Carry on.
    23
  27. ***** A person's gender identity is more than how they look. Women come in all types. 
    22
  28. Did someone ask?
    21
  29. Ask them what that actually means. Chances are you can bring it around to being a good human.
    21
  30. Ah, you only needed something to criticize. She's a unique person - that's original. But the message doesn't have to be original to be new to people. Get it?
    21
  31. I think he was delving into how his past stuttering problem—for which he was victimized—fed into his reaction to his video's comments. I don't think he's playing victim. I think he's telling us how he overcame being a victim.
    20
  32. Masculinity doesn't have an immutable definition, and I don't believe he wants to get rid of it anyway. He wants men to be open and comfortable with all facets of their personalities, including the more sensitive and complex ones. If a man is a crane operator but enjoys buying fresh flowers for his home, is he masculine? If a man smells bad, dresses like a slob, curses, but is a fine wine expert, is he masculine? If a man is able to take on a street gang with martial arts and he dresses like a dandy and wears lipstick, what then? Women are attracted to all kinds of men. Heterosexual men with feminine characteristics don't really seem to have a hard time finding women who love them for who they are.
    20
  33. Nope, not anymore.
    19
  34. Further, the people with accents often speak more than one language. Americans who mock them—most of them only English speakers—would do well to remember this.
    18
  35. "Men playing a drum more often is NOT OPPRESSION." See how you twisted that around? She did not say what you said. What she implied was that women have historically been banned from playing the drums. "I swear that feminists are running out of things to complain about. what the heck" Develop an ounce of empathy. What the heck. Hers is a success story, overcoming traditional sexism. Did you not see her smiling, victorious? That must really bother you.
    17
  36. From the cancer that is toxic masculinity. It's always good to know that these videos reach people, despite their ill-conceived responses.
    17
  37. ***** Can't see the broader implications? Watch again.
    16
  38. He was gathering his thoughts, as I saw it. It did not seem dramatic at all, but rather comfortable and easy-going.
    16
  39. Nope. But I usually notice that people will often cite distorted numbers when they feel their superiority threatened by those they enjoy feeling superior toward.
    16
  40.  @AUnicorn666  Likely, as Executive Function Disorder (or executive dysfunction) isn't classified as a disability in itself, but stems from other disabilities, at least as my research reveals.
    16
  41. Had you watched the video, you would see how irrelevant your comment was.
    15
  42. +EZE E You are unable to define "normal." The idea of equality for gay people likely triggers your homophobia, and you realize that you are indeed not superior, as you originally thought. Tough.
    15
  43. A desire to brag? Sounds like you decided you don't like the speaker, and based on that have made up some fictions about her.
    15
  44. Incorrect. The initial post made lots of assumptions. One is that Katlego is worried about having her feelings hurt (or that her feelings are hurt at all). Not sure where Potato was going with that in any case. The other is that Katlego is scorning her current reality. Nothing to show for that. Another is that her home country cannot learn to accept her. Progress comes slowly, but it comes. And the last is, of course, that Katlego embracing her roots is based in a desire to brag. Nothing to show for that. Proverbial Potato has a personal agenda. I don't know what it is, but my initial statement stands.
    15
  45. But I think this is only because, in the larger perspective, they've been forced by men into those roles.
    15
  46. 2nd3rd1st Well, okay. It's where bigots fester, in any case.
    14
  47. " Looking for Finding patterns where non exist is one of the dumbest things we do as a species."
    14
  48. It's a content issue, not a freedom of speech issue. His content was inappropriate for a high school graduation in 2022. All opinions are not created equal. Talk stupid, pay the consequences.
    13
  49. I'm sure you're just like them, too. Superstitious and ignorant.
    13
  50. Did you not hear her "first-date" comment? Do you think it's easy speaking to a TED audience? Your perception of her "self-doubt" is likely your own projection. She's likely just nervous about speaking. And your friends who changed their minds about having kids, seems that their decisions weren't well thought-out to begin with.
    13
  51. +fahernandezp1 Which people?
    12
  52. Yes, the speech is it. She's come out, and now everybody knows who she is, and she has nothing to hide. This is a big deal, as she says, because silence has consequences.  Why would you feel that's "absolutely disgusting?" 
    12
  53. Thank you for that! You helped make her point. There are clearly people in the comment section whose egos are extremely fragile. Tell them that people with disabilities have something to teach them and they just fall apart.
    12
  54. Matthew Westerfeld It was an improvised performance. Try it sometime, you might have fun.
    12
  55. "if you really want to continue with this bullshit social justice human diversity thing then make a new youtube channel called: TIP Toxic Identity Politics with virtually no root in real life Stuff about other people I don't understand, don't want to understand, and will never make an effort to understand because I lack the faculty of empathy." Fixed that for you.
    12
  56. In other words, according to you, "diversity of thought" is not related to diversity of people. Why would you pretend to know what you're talking about?
    12
  57. This and the mass shootings happening everywhere - it's all taking a toll on me. This country is becoming surreally corrupt. I never expected any of this in my lifetime, but I guess I was being naive.
    12
  58. While some analogies apply with limitations, yours ends where it begins.
    12
  59. She's happy with the purpose she's found. Do you believe she shouldn't be? She's smiling. She's not laughing.
    12
  60. Yes, the pathology of his lies of course should be apparent to everybody. More so, his lies should have disqualified him from office long ago. He's not just a pathetic excuse for a president, but also for a human being. He's got not an ounce of true humanity about him. He reeks of something so vile, I can't even describe it.
    12
  61. What's it like, the toxic brain that occupies your cranium? Does it hurt?
    12
  62. +1998NeonRT "Send them all to prison. They don't deserve rights." You're unable to say why. You're now dismissed.
    11
  63. I said this above.There's about an 85% that if you're an American, you only speak English. The people with the accents are most likely bilingual (or multilingual). Some jealousy, perhaps.
    11
  64. EZE E Homosexuality is normal. Evolutionarily, it is consistently selected for. It may not be the "majority," but it is normal. Try again. This time, consider your initial reason for posting, and then ask yourself whether your homophobic. I'm afraid I know you better than you know yourself, Spanky.
    11
  65. "It is literally the biological function of females to have children." You're inference is incorrect. Can does not mean ought to. " don't go around spreading the idea of self-genetic-suicide is a good idea." Interesting spin.
    11
  66. I think you misunderstood the analogy.
    11
  67. And what did you do, Stephen?
    11
  68.  @thearmchaircritique163  The mental disorder is called gender dysphoria. Transitioning is the treatment. It seems that gender identity is something you'd rather not try to understand, and so to you, if someone's gender identity does not match their genitalia, they have have a mental disorder. The very term denotes something is inherently "wrong" with them. That is untrue. We've learned from history, however, that there is plenty wrong with the willful ignorance that leads to misclassification.
    11
  69. Yes, sad. And nobody has anything to show for the existence of their god-who-hates-all-the-same-people-they-hate. Hatred justified with superstition.
    10
  70.  @1wordnerd726  That must have been really difficult and extremely frustrating for you.
    10
  71. Social justice warriors are good things. You seem to be actively seeking to bash them. Glad you agreed with him, though.
    10
  72. MTG: "...and guess what ...?" What a clown.
    10
  73. We can still acknowledge the validity of people's identities, despite where the research is right now. The human brain is complex, and it's not an extraordinary leap of faith to acknowledge that there are people whose brains are wired to identify as non-binary or as a gender that does not fit your personal expectations or comfort level. Rather than imagine yourself being wrangled into "following them," consider empathy instead. Digging your heels in for the sake of resistance leads to ignorance.
    10
  74. Well, of course you did! What you fail to realize is that you alone are the subject of your experiment. Even as you believe you are triggering people, you are being triggered. As you cannot really know anybody online intimately, you have no rigorous data for your experiment. Except yourself, of course. But when you publish your findings in a scientific journal, please contact me. I'd love to read through them!
    10
  75. Project much? You come across as someone with an under-developed faculty of empathy. That's something you can work on.
    10
  76. semsema y I see English isn't your first language. Okay, let me be clear. Religion is superstition. Believe what you will, but you have nothing to show for it. "Against humanity" is meaningless. You have nothing to show for this. LGBT people have been part of humanity since the beginning.  Nature? Wrong again. Natural selection continues to select for homosexuality. It's occurs all over the animal kingdom. Hiding behind your personal disgust is childish and immature. Calling something "wrong" because you don't understand it is meaningless. Grow up.
    9
  77. Such an ignorant comment.
    9
  78. You not only didn't answer the question (since you would be unable to as you're not the commenter I questioned), but you added a nonsense digression. Congrats.
    9
  79. And colleges are feeding this dysfunction as well by hiring about 50% adjunct faculty, paying them less and denying benefits. These teachers often have no office hours and must take multiple jobs to make ends meet. They cannot be there for their students emotionally and are stressed out themselves.
    9
  80. She's a rigorous researcher who has been dedicating her life to better understanding women's sexuality and publishing her findings. You obviously have deeper personal issues that were triggered, but are not sharing them with us. Consider those before posting again.
    9
  81. ....claims every bigot since the inception of TED when TED makes videos that shatter their fragile egos.
    8
  82. +semsema y Why would you think your personal disgust is relevant when adults are talking?
    8
  83. Dean Wilson Good thing we've come such a long way from those Puritan days. Seems you really can't come up with any rational reason why gay people should be denied marriage, so I'm just going to have to go with the guess that it hurts to have your sense of superiority stripped away.
    8
  84. You didn't really get the gist of his message. Watch the video again.
    8
  85. Do bees have tongues?
    8
  86. To find a "regressive left agenda" in this takes a real crackpot.
    8
  87. Surely there must be at least a few some people in your life who like you for who you are, who don't insult you because you possess certain feminine qualities. Maybe stick with them and find others through them? Give your father a really perplexed look when he calls you a sissy, a look that conveys just with the eyes how much he's disappointed you.
    8
  88. Wow, a comment section full of science deniers and conspiracy theorists. What a surprise.
    8
  89.  @whyamimrpink78  I didn't say he didn't talk about Trump. I said he isn't fixated on the goon.
    8
  90.  @Vic2point0  "What makes their identities valid? Can you provide an objective definition for "man" or "woman"? " Regarding gender, no, I cannot. Can you? Our identities are shaped in our brains. That's what makes them valid. It's my observation that while gender is mostly a social construct, there may be some biological contributor. If someone tells me they don't identify as a he or a she, or that they identify as a gender that does not match their birth-assigned gender, I am in no position to refute them. Neither are you. Deciding to label them as something with which they do not identify would paint me as someone who's insecure, apathetic. I may not understand what it feels like to be them, but that doesn't matter, and if I know what's good for me, I'll reach for empathy. "Well, it's not about anyone's personal expectations or comfort level;" Your post does seem to indicate a level of discomfort. "your worldview should be coherent before you expect anyone to buy into it." That's a loaded assertion, and it reeks of a certain inhumane callousness and selfishness, though ironically, it's logically incoherent. What it seems like you're saying is, "I refuse to validate your gender identity because gender identity is not yet fully understood." Historically, try applying your assertion to any population of people with differences from the norm: left-handedness, homosexuality, red hair, autism, bipolarity, ADHD, albinism. I group these together because they are all states of being which were at some point (or still are) subject to derision and hostility. You get to learn from history if you want to ! "As for people's brains being wired to identify as another gender, even if we grant that as an explanation for their beliefs, that doesn't make their beliefs true." Is your gender identity a "belief?" Or is it just who you are? I imagine it's convenient to label someone else's gender identity a b"belief" in order to invalidate it, the same way people label homosexuality a "lifestyle" just to invalidate it. No. "Empathy does not entail agreement. Don't you have empathy for people with schizophrenia? I'd imagine you do, but still don't agree with their beliefs. Agreement isn't even a talking point. Schizophrenia is not a "belief." There is nothing to "agree" with. But imagine responding to people with schizophrenia with, "Gotta love how even the 'experts' can't come up with an objective definition for 'schizophrenia', yet they insist we follow them anyway." The Mayo Clinic says, "It's not known what causes schizophrenia, but researchers believe that a combination of genetics, brain chemistry and environment contributes to development of the disorder." Yeah? Well tough! The experts' conclusions aren't coherent enough, and I refuse to acknowledge that schizophrenia is valid. ← That's what you're saying.
    8
  91. Hoping that you find reason and can be saved from your superstitious delusions.
    8
  92. Only you were triggered.
    8
  93. Sometimes that's a problem, too, yes.
    8
  94. Not random at all.

  95. captnhuffy "I was responding DIRECTLY to your topic/point & even using your terminology.  I made a counter-point." Of the speaker, you say... "If you believe that externalizing one's obsession of self, that ego, feelings, and narcissistic behavior are even close to positive human potential, then you are childish.  You are covering for someone being stuck in the state-of-mind of a 3 year old." If that's what you take away from her talk, then I believe it's gone right over your head. You seem to need to insult her, and to create her in an image that justifies insults, so have at it.  "I would thank you for engaging your brain & your keyboard simultaneously." Get over yourself.
    7
  96. Seems like you're having a hard time.
    7
  97. +ZOUHIR MKNS Really, why? Everything she said made great sense to me.
    7
  98. The bigots come out of the woodwork for this one. The idea of TED talks: "TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks."  And "...We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world." The idea that Bailey is communicating is as the description reads: "Silence has personal, professional and societal consequences." I think she does a nice job of it.  I guess many choose to believe that Bailey is somehow being selfish for proposing that idea. But none cab substantiate this claim.  When a TED talk isn't interesting to me, I either won't watch it or will stop it midway through. If I've watched the whole thing and found it didn't really appeal to me, then oh well!  But see how important it is for some to build straw men, chastise, demean, and otherwise spew garbage when they could have actually just said nothing at all? 
    7
  99. The video and reality refute your assertion.
    7
  100.  @Bassguitarist192  Of course it was. Alexander Blue simply needs to blow off some steam. He would like to propagate the lie that a need for medication and/or surgery somehow negates the validity of the gender identity hardwired in the brain. Alexander would love to define "natural" for you because he refuses to try to understand you.
    7
  101. Really interesting talk. Thanks, Channing!
    7
  102. Are you making a point? Ah, I didn't think so.
    7
  103. Garbage unsubscribed, you mean.

  104. Hmmm....Guess you didn't hear what he was saying. Maybe play it at 1/2 speed.
    7
  105. Calling it a "sin" also invokes the deity-who-hates-all-the-same-people-I-hate, pretending that any evidence of said deity has ever been presented. It's not only immoral, but it's cowardly and lazy.
    7
  106.  @DanHazy  This type of research typically yields byproducts that serve humanity immensely, regardless of where the research itself ends up. NASA is the same. Science is our most efficient method of understanding our universe, and understanding it always brings us closer to surviving in it.
    7
  107. No kidding, huh? This is not even about sexual orientation. I'd even say that the transgender topic is less important than the idea of fully integrating one's past into one's present.
    7
  108. "Losing touch with our place in the cosmos" is something I can relate to. I know I've seen the night sky in places relatively unaffected by light pollution, many years ago, and there is a sense of wonderment and awe.

  109.  @FractalPrism.  Her PhD is in biological anthropology. She teaches university courses on evolutionary medicine, primate evolution and behavior, human biological variation and female reproductive physiology. She's lectured undergrad and grad students at Harvard, Boston University and Tufts University, and has earned multiple awards for teaching excellence. You can find all this out on your own. But you pretend that she's giving a talk on how to lose weight so you can feel good about discrediting her. Something is very wrong with you. But that's your personal burden to bear.
    7
  110. Imposter syndrome may be a symptom of mental illnesses, but it may not be, in the same way that anxiety may or may not indicate an anxiety disorder. If you don't have a diagnosed anxiety disorder, it is not "damaging" to say you're feeling anxious.
    7
  111. ***** "whatever too much to explain" Nice try, Spanky. Try saying nothing at all next time if you don't want to be held accountable to your own words. Too much to explain? LOL

  112. bern bren Nice try attempting to link everything bad to equality. You're obviously a troubled soul with some personal issues.

  113. +Rae Rae Well, no mention of too many specific causes or solutions in general, but rather a wake-up call nonetheless. She got her point across, I believe.
    6
  114. Your comments seem to come from a very constricted/sheltered upbringing. Get out into the world. There's no binary.
    6
  115. Read TED's paragraph below the video: "...Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more. TED gets to decide what they're "all about," not you.

  117. Ridiculous. Even if they searched the house and found more drugs, that is not a reason for civil forfeiture of the house. There is no good reason at all.

  118. Oh no - contraduction! Freedome! Afree! Hyprcruts! Rapests! Theves! Muders! Abousers! Oh, poor Caroline. Never mind sentences, you can't put words together. And you believe you are making valid points. Sad little lady.
    6
  119. "... tell them about God and talk about how God can help..." The very notion of needing God's "help"—of God being against homosexuality—presupposes that god's existence has ever been proven. It has not, ever, despite millennia of desperate assertions. Nobody needs superstition-based counseling. Whether you're beating someone for being gay or coercing them into self-loathing from childhood (indoctrination), religion is toxic. Do us all a favor and find a more useful profession.

  120. You're living proof that you don't have to be human to be a human being.

  122. Zoh87 "Everyone knows she's homosexual, that's about all we know, there's more to a human being than their sexuality you monster." Monster? What's your problem? Of course there's more to a human being than her sexuality, but that's irrelevant to the message. The message discusses the very real consequences of hiding one's true self, as well as abetting others who do the same. "I find it "absolutely disgusting" because the message "be yourself" isn't going to help anyone hiding their sexuality, life is more complicated than that." The Trevor Project and many other organizations are the reality that squarely refute that claim.  "It's like telling a depressed person to "cheer up"." That's an absolutely disgusting comparison.
    5
  123. ***** You just changed your story. First it was "warmth and love" and now it's "give birth." So by your reasoning a woman who can't give birth is incapable of warmth and love.

  124. You know, it actually didn't. That was a piece of the puzzle. You saw it as the whole thing. Interesting spin.

  125. Yurriaan Van Duyn Feminism - the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. Nope, I see nothing discriminatory about it.

  126. Heisenberg  " A straight girl who is confused about her sexuality or a lesbian who subconsciously is still straight?" Might you then conclude the same for anybody—straight or gay, male or female—whose partner doesn't fit the norm? I've known many a straight couple where the male physical and/or emotional profile was much more feminine than average. Does that mean that their wives/girlfriends were subconsciously lesbians?  I think that there's probably not a simple answer, and while hypothesizing is fine, I would not draw any conclusions without further research.

Trans people are real, while he has zero to show for his god-who-hates-all-the-same-people he hates. Science is not his friend. He doesn't need to understand the nuances of gender identity to know that any person knows who they are better than he ever will.

  140. So, you resort to mythology to justify inhumane behavior. You are unable to show anything for your god, despite millennia of desperate assertions. Your work is cut out for you. Until such a time as you can show that your god exists— and that he agrees with you—your behavior is lazy and cowardly.

  141. See how B's actions got the attention of good people willing to help? See how these actions made the news?

  149. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "Normal" or not, it's irrelevant, though I doubt you'd be able to define normal as anything other than "me." I just enjoy watching homophobes proffer it as their badge of superiority. It's absolutely hilarious. 
    4
  150. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "Discerning an abnormality is not akin to asserting my superiority." All we need do is read your comments—"you are fucking abnormal"—to understand your agenda. "More projection, I never proclaimed myself as a "good"I'm person." Proclamations aren't necessary. Intelligent people can see you squirming in an impossible attempt to be excused from your own prejudice. "Again, im saying it should not be seen as normal." Again, you evade defining "normal." And once you do that, you can explain what you believe should follow from "not seeing it as normal." You're being wily, but I can smell your intentions across the country. "People believe it to be normal when it is not." It's a normally occurring biological phenomenon that has been consistently selected for in nature as far back as we know. Minority does not equate to abnormal. 
    4
  151. Serah Wint I know. But Nasloxieh Rorsxez  really seems to enjoy trumpeting "Abnormal!" while pointing his finger. 
    4
  152. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "I don't know how you can attempt to refute the male genitalia's biological purpose, its basically ubiquitous throughout all animal species." As is homosexuality, but you've conveniently avoided adding that. Again, you are pretending that you have the one instructor's manual for everyone's body. In that case, you'd better start announcing to the world that their mouths are not meant to kiss (other mouths or other bodies). It's their biological purpose to eat and breathe, and that's all! Am I right? :) You'd better tell the world that hair was not meant to be cut. It's its biological purpose to continue to grow. Simply because a body part can function in a particular way does not mean that every person will utilize it as such. And because nature creates same-gender attraction, it only follows naturally that they wouldn't.  Your myopic worldview is likely a result of an inflated ego and a lack of empathy. Again, grow up. 
    4
  153. Serah Wint "You have to concede that this is what it is." He likely will not. He has never developed his faculty of empathy, and so he digs in his heels, pretending that what he cannot comprehend simply cannot be. That's a sad state to be in.

  168. People come here illegally, yes, but not because they're "spitting" on the law, but because usually they're desperate to leave wherever they came from. Try a little empathy. Telling someone to "do things legally" is like telling a homeless American to "get a job" who was born, for example, into an abusive, drug addicted home and ended up an orphan. You're blaming the victim, even if you're not saying it. That's just sub-human. Find some empathy.

  171. "I don't have to substantiate anything." In order to be taken seriously, yes, you do. "Religion is not about science or facts or anything," This is true. "it's about believing in the one true god." ...whose existence you are also unable to show. Despite millennia of desperate assertions, nobody has ever shown that god or satan exists. If you want to deny the facts of science based on superstition, you are being extremely lazy. You are taking the toddler's tack, denying the reality of science because you believe it's a lie told by Satan, while simultaneously proclaiming that you don't have to show that Satan is real. Would you like a lollipop?
    4
  172. "Look, I believe what God told us," You believe in mythology. You have zero to show for the reality of your god. Your Bible is simply another claim, and proof of nothing. Stop pretending that any work has been done on your behalf to show that your god is real. None of that work has ever been accomplished, despite millennia of desperate assertions. "...you believe what other humans told us." I believe in the rigor of science. I rely on it, and you do, too. The facts stemming from research of evolutionary biology inform your life; medicine depends on it. "I don't believe that humans are more reliable than a GOD, but whatever." As far as understanding the universe you live in, human explanations—via peer-reviewed, hardcore science—are all you have to rely on. God being a human construct, we can simply rule out that as a reality. "It's really that simplw." You'd like it to be simple, but truly it's simpled-minded , as it would be much more work for you to actually understand what it is you're trying to refute. It's easier to believe what you're told by witch doctors, though, isn't it? " lol u stupid" The irony.

  182. It gives people a sense of superiority (falsely), and they will justify that perception of superiority with whatever it takes, very often religion (a/k/a superstition). It's difficult to say, "I don't like you because you're different." It's much easier to say, "My god says you're a sinner, and therefore, so do I."

But I have known those who do, who will spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on tests, surgery, and other treatments for their pets. I do not currently have a pet, but my (admittedly second-hand) experience with these people is that their veterinarians will do all the work necessary if they're willing to spend the money.

  197. Nasloxieh Rorsxez And what is "millions" compared to all who could be viewing this with glee? Very tiny. Think twice prior to labeling those different from yourself as "abnormal." Perhaps a mirror is required for you to see the real freak.
    3
  198. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "homosexuals are just like any other person excluding sexual orientation" Left-handed people are just like any other person excluding their left-handedness.  "That doesnt make it normal," That doesn't make it normal. "...and people perpetuating that it is need to stop." ...and people perpetuating that need to stop. "People are trying to normalize it and its proving its effectiveness." People are trying to normalize it and its proving its effectiveness "Soon, a straight man will be unable to perceive the sight of 2 gay men copulating without being labeled as a homophobe." Soon, right-handed people will be unable to perceive the sight of left-handed people using their left hands without being labeled as a handist.  My goodness, you certainly aren't very bright, are you?
    3
  199. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "Your last sentence, show me empirical data." I said that minority ≠ abnormal. The word abnormal, as you would likely define it, means deviating in a way that is undesirable. Am I correct? Does being part of a minority equate to being undesirable?  "I never proclaimed myself as a good person" I didn't say you did. I can read between the lines.  "..and if my opinion on this subject makes me any worse. So be it." Yes, it actually does. When Sarah Wint requests that you accept that homosexual people have equal rights, your response is, "How about no, you are fucking abnormal." What you can do is remedy your prejudice and homophobia by developing you faculty of empathy, which is obviously lacking. Attitudes, unlike sexual orientation, can be changed.
    3
  200. Nasloxieh Rorsxez  Ah, so cannibalism and heterosexuality are both normal. I get it! I guess heterosexuality is just like cannibalism.  You implicate yourself without even knowing it. Grow up.
    3
  201. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "Homosexuality is not ubiquitous throughout all animal species." Homosexuality has been observed in more than 1500 animal species.  "Im not attempting to argue that the biological purpose of a body part is the sole purpose, but the biological is its specifically designed purpose. " Designed? Nope. That would imply a teleology that doesn't exist, as well as a designer that doesn't exist. 
    3
  202. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "You cant be so certain as to say their is no designer, just as I cant say that there is with certitude." Yet that does not make the probability 50/50. I can dismiss the idea of a deity as easily as I can unicorns. I can imagine anything I want and dare you to prove its non-existence. It's a challenge with zero merit.  "Anyways, you know exactly what I mean, the biological purpose of genitalia is to procreate." Anyway, you know what I mean, but I'll repeat, since you don't seem to be picking up on it. Natural selection selects for homosexuality. Simply because a body part can function in a particular way does not mean that every person is required utilize it as such. And because nature creates same-gender attraction, it only follows naturally that they wouldn't. 
    3
  203. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "You keep saying its a normal occurrence in nature. So is rape, pedophilia and cannibalism." And you keep trotting out that tired old canard, which you yourself don't seem to understand only refutes your own point. These are all natural, just like heterosexuality is, just like homosexuality is. You're only attempting to make a connection between harm and homosexuality, which you fail at. So you cannot label homosexuality unnatural, for the thousandth time, you moron. Nor can you label it immoral, since it harms nobody.  "If we adhered to what the animal kingdom does, there wouldn't be such a huge disparity between what differentiates us humans and other animals in both a moral and intellectual level." What a nonsensical word salad. "Also, im not religious and transgenderism can be classified as a mental illness/disorder." It's only a disorder until the person comes to terms with their true gender identity, which is wired into the brain and not necessarily always expressed by outward appearance or genitalia.  "More specifically, gender dysphoria. Sayings transgenderism is "natural" is preposterous." What is preposterous is believing you have some edge of fiat on what's natural for other people. You obviously lead an indoctrinated/sheltered life which has precluded developing any faculty of empathy. "It contradicts biology" It is biology, dimwit.  " and there are no analogies to make to justify it being "natural"." We don't need analogies. We have science.

  236.  @aliens566  Asserting something doesn't make it a fact. Gender dysphoria is a condition that is treated by transitioning. That's a fact.
    3
  237. ​ @aliens566  As I said, transitioning is the treatment for gender dysphoria, so the treatment is working fine. What you are referring to is the suicide attempt rate among trans people. That 2015 study reveals pervasive mistreatment and violence against trans people in every aspect of life. Are you implying that transitioning per se is the reason for suicide? That's incorrect. It is the abuse thereafter. Are you part of that abuse? If so, you can tell yourself, "I abuse transgender people and then absolve myself of all responsibility by blaming their gender expression."
    3
  238.  @aliens566  "The suicide rate exceeds that of soldiers at war..." Irrelevant to the topic. "Assuming that this is entirely due to social pressures is absolutely ridiculous when it comes to nearly half the population." Whatever you need to tell yourself to feel better about being transphobic. It's the report that you mentioned which points to the truth of this. "Half the population?" Whatever do you mean by that? The study you link only goes further to prove my point. Committing suicide while transitioning is also irrelevant in alleviating the responsibility of those who drive them to it. If you have anything at all to show that the high suicide rate among transgender people is caused by the actual act of gender transitioning, I'm all ears.

  254.  @stevenbass732  "You may think that this is new. It's not." Why would it being "news" or not be relevant? You seem to have pulled that out of thin air just o you can whine about...what, exactly? "When I was growing up, we knew who the homosexuals were..." I'm sure you thought you did. Also, newsflash, you never actually grew up. " and by and large ignored it." Doubt that. Everything in your desperate diatribe attest to the probability that you paid lots of attention. ".... mostly no one cared so long as they kept it quiet." And of course by that you mean as long as they stayed invisible. Poor baby can't tolerate that he can no longer hold himself as superior. "Heterosexual couples didn't flaunt their relationship in public and neither did homosexuals." I'm sure if asked to elucidate, your double standard would blind us. What a pitiful person you are.

"This is the truth" Bold assertions are not made true because they're boldly put. Put up or shut up. "Jesus whom you pierce with hate." I could care less about Jesus. It's you I "pierce with hate." "Every eye will see Him and that goes for His haters also. " Do you believe your haughty orations are fearsome? Trying some preacher-talk? Get over yourself. You're befuddled ghost-chaser.

  268. Addressing a secondary point she made - teachers supporting students - College students also live with various types of trauma, with freshmen often having the added weight of being away from home for the first time. While many colleges have decent student support systems, wouldn't it be nice for faculty to be able to support their college students in the same way? But because colleges have adopted the business model more than ever, and cut corners in the last decade or so by hiring 50% adjunct faculty (part-time without benefits and with lower pay), those teachers take multiple jobs and are usually stretched too thin to have the time and energy to give to such students. We feel bad about it, but earning enough to eat and care for our own necessitates taking care of oneself first. Colleges are pathetic to the end, and could learn a thing or two from Sydney Jensen.

  271. "Just came to downvote this video." ...without watching it. I get it. "The very premise of this video (expressed in the title) implies that people should 1. Treat transgendered people differently from other people, which is unacceptable on principle." Again, having not watched the video, you can't possibly understand that a) the speaker's goal is to not treat transgender people differently, and that b) the title bespeaks the current situation, addressing the cis population who are still under-educated. "2. Suggests that people ought to negate the way they experience the world (their own lived-experience) to play along with someone who is clearly delusional." Ah, I see. You're feeling threatened, perhaps even inferior. What you lack is the faculty of empathy. Had you owned one, you'd understand that "lived experiences" are indeed not all the same. Labeling someone else's as "delusional" is only a result of your own ignorance, and willful ignorance at that. You're a sad little dutchman.

LOL. It's the entire universe. Whereas, you've missed out on the higher calling of humanity. Pity you.
    2
  284. sethman75 "So you think the universe see's from you point of view? Pretty arrogant don't you think??" Irony so thick. My point is that the "universe" is a diverse place. Fearing differences is a weakness. I've been on both sides of that fence, and take my word for it, the world opens up when you educate yourself and shed your prejudices. "I'm assuming you mean inoculated." You wrongly assume. Inculcation is indoctrination. The only way to hate people for no good reason is to be indoctrinated. How were you indoctrinated? "Inoculated is what i would call people like you that think they are the center of the universe." You enjoy putting words in my mouth, don't you? You have a sad grasp on this dialogue. "This is what they must be teaching kids now. Everyone is special snowflake and every one of their feelings are valid." Feelings are always valid. Actions are not, where harm is involved. It's really much simpler than your homophobic mind can believe. Everyone is special. What you would prefer is that everyone be like you. What a sad world that would be. "Well sorry to say that you are not and they don't. Time to grow up" If you can't see that you're wrong, it's your personal shortcoming, and you're apparently envious and bitter. Too bad for you that you can't celebrate the diversity of people. I have a ton of straight male friends. When I think of them and how evolved they are, I have to wonder about the sad beginnings of guys like you. I blame your parents.

  285. sethman75 No case in point, only a baseless assertion. You're unable to address any one point I made, so like a toddler, you dismiss them all out of hand. Whether my viewpoint is the minority or not is actually irrelevant. At one point, the majority viewpoint in the U.S. was that slavery was acceptable. Was it correct? In any case, enlightened societies are proving this claim wrong again and again. You belong in Saudi Arabia. Why don't you move there, and we'll see how long you last?

  291. Yurriaan Van Duyn You begin with a clear misunderstanding, claiming "Feminism doesn't benefit everyone." But achieving equality, egalitarianism, does benefit everyone.  It would seem you don't like equality. I'm sorry.
    2
  292. Yurriaan Van Duyn "Ow, wait, that's not their goal at all." It isn't? Who are "they?" All women? All feminists? Certain feminists?  "But 'ey, Listen & Believe, right?" To whom? Who are you listening to? "And #KillAllMen and more of that nonsense." Who says that? Valerie Solanas? One in a million women? Is that how you define equality for women? "But go ahead, support flawed ideologies." I support the ideology of feminism as leveling the playing field for women. "Luckily this is the internet where it all comes to die..." You think so? Equality for women has only made strides forward, it seems.  Do you have a problem with women, or perhaps with just yourself?
    2
  293. SockTaters III "You don't even know the references, only focus on equality for women and don't understand that's wrong somehow in relation to equality for evertyone." Not wrong, no. Addressing specific populations of people who have been traditionally marginalized is not wrong. Focusing on equality for "everyone" would include those who already have most of the power, and that would be a waste.  "Get out of your basement and actually experience the world, no, reality, as it is."

    2
  299. Nasloxieh Rorsxez Again, "normal" isn't even an issue. If you are able to use what little brain that you haven't yet donated to science (poor science!), you'd realize that in civilized culture, people who don't fit the "norm" are treated every bit as equally as those who do. That includes minorities. You must consider yourself the "normal majority" and as such have a desperate need to feel superior, and thus feel justified denigrating those who aren't in your majority. But we've progressed beyond that. You can answer the higher call of humanity, or you can remain a neanderthal. Your choice.

  300. Serah Wint I completely agree, and thanks. I've become jaded, too, and sometimes I wish I never discovered youtube. However, there's the rare instance where I feel I've gotten through to someone. 
    2
  301. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "They arent related." You said that cannibalism was normal among animals. (Humans are animals. Kingdom: Animalia). You believe that you are normal. Be careful how you fight back. Here's a lesson that you just taught yourself: Normal does not always equate to good. Serah wasn't arguing for the goodness or badness of anything, but only that your use of the word normal is completely misinformed.  "But she said that homosexuality was a natural occurrence in the wild to prove that its normal." And she succeeded in making that point.  "Just because something occurs in the animal kingdom, doesnt mean its normal to US." Humans are animals, too (see above regarding classification), whether you like it or not.  Homosexuality in humans is normal in the sense that it is consistently chosen for in natural selection (that's evolution, and there are various hypotheses as to why, but that's somewhat off-topic). Remember, though, before you consider yourself normal, that normal does not necessarily equate to good. 
    2
  302. Nasloxieh Rorsxez "if we are not using it for its purpose, that means whatever else we are using it for is the purpose we create for it ourselves, thus making it NOT its natural purpose." You cannot define "natural" without invoking your deity, and since you cannot show your deity to be real, you have nothing. You continue to fail to respond to my talking points. I'll ask you: what is the "natural purpose" of fingers? Do you get to decide for other people? "Therefore, Homosexuality is not "natural"." And again I'll tell you that it's consistently selected for in nature, and again you'll dodge that. "Btw, do you also believe transgender is natural as well?" Of course it is. We are more complex that your "designed" model. Now address my talking points, please, or stop wasting my time. They're in bold. 
    2
  303. Nasloxieh Rorsxez You wield your incredulity as an argument. It is not one.  Gender identity is something you obviously don't care to understand, but about which you nonetheless enjoy drawing conclusions. Isn't that something! And just look at your last post. It's as if you're suddenly trying really hard to sound intelligent. But we know better. We've read all your other posts.
    2
  304. ***** "If I say I disagree you all lash out and say we are stupid and close minded." I label you ignorant because of the content of your posts. I understand how you operate. You assert "heterosexuality IS the only natural sexual orientation." You feel entitled to your opinion, as if it has merit simply by being your opinion. When asked for evidence, you of course have none, and you play victim, demanding respect. You lost all respect from the very first. Your silly claims don't get a free pass simply by being a product of your religion. You can't hide behind superstition. You have nothing left except silly claims. Stop your whining. It's quite pathetic.

  308. "you can't force people to like you or accept your way of life if that's not how they choose to live their lives." No, but people can grow to understand that other ways of living one's life are just as meaningful and valid as theirs, and perhaps even learn to appreciate that kind of diversity.  "At the end of the day if you're not being discriminated against and you have all the rights as everyone else, why should it matter if people embrace your lifestyle." Because at the end of that one day where people are actually embracing each other's differences, I think a major shift will have occurred in human culture, and it could be magnificent. 
    2
  309. ***** "What exactly should I tolerate? Sickness?" This is the only part of your post I can make sense of. "What exactly should you tolerate?" is a misleading question, and rather nonsensical. What you should do is first learn about something before you label it as a "sickness." As it is, you seem to enjoy attacking that which obviously do not understand.

  310. Rum Dreg "They are trite stories." Saying it doesn't make it true.  "Nothing of value has been added beyond reinforcing believes." You don't speak for anyone's "value" but your own.

  325. TheAnnoyingGunner When it comes to personal taste (in art or subject matter), why do people who know what they don't like still find it necessary to seek it out simply to condemn it?

"DUDE! stop making natural unnatural." Try to define natural or unnatural. Bet you can't. "Before you call me a homophobe cuz of the last sentence i wrote, I believe being gay is natural." So? "and wtf is "brain-gender" dude," It is the how a person's brain is wired regarding gender identification.   "pls stop being a " simpe google search now I have all the answers scientist". You assume much. "And NO! i never feel any kind of supiriority arguing with you." You misunderstood me.I didn't say you think you're superior to me, but rather to the transgender person. If you could not address a person by how that person identifies and wishes to be called, what does that say about you? "And NO i dont spite gay people at all and never would." But we're not discussing gay people. We're discussing transgender people.  " A HUMAN with a penis is a MAN, gay or not." This is only your ignorance. And being gay, again, is not the issue. Sex organs and gender identification do not always correlate. "once that man have a trans-surgery now he has a vagina i can now call him a She/woman." Prior to the surgery the person was still what their brain told them they were, penis or not. You respect people less than you respect their genitals. That's sad.

Then ok" I'm afraid that it may be worse.

  335.  @mgk357  A person doesn't arrive at your opinion on their own. Everyone is influenced. The hope is that a person finds a sense of humanity and allows good influences to overcome bad ones.

  351. It's not a zero-sum game. This piece of ignorance is perpetuated repeatedly. Read TED's mission statement on their website. This talk was beneficial to me and I'm sure many others. Your personal reaction isn't a litmus for others.
    2
  352. "Nobody is saying it's a zero sum game." You are: "At least talk about LGBTQ rights or charity or something" Zero-sum game: a situation in which one person or group can win something only by causing another person or group to lose it. Dividing up the budget is a zero-sum game. You are implying that by focusing on her topic, she is taking away from "LGBTQ rights or charity or something." "Even with research you need to prove beneficence of a hypothesis." How does this mean anything in the context of this dialogue? "I also agree with the TED motto. But the talk failed to state any idea." Here are a few for you, in case you missed them: • It's possible to build bridges between past and present identities. • In doing so, she can spread a message of hope to the "others who don't belong" in her homeland that they are not alone. • She can joyfully reconcile her rural roots—including pride of ancestry/homeland/native tongue—with her queer identity. "Rather it was all about how she chose to do nothing different but be herself." Being herself in the above sense is indeed very different for her. Did you miss the part about "what got lost" both in translation and in transition? This is how she's changed. "She deserves a blog perhaps..not the TED platform." Yeah, not your place to decide, thankfully. Different people benefit differently, if at all, from different TED talks. There's a tendency for folks like you to complain about it when you feel you don't benefit, rather than simply bypassing it. "No articulation what so ever just eloquent tip toeing around the topic of being transgender and tribal." Good think I did your homework for you. Next time, do your own work, or perhaps just skip the video. I've a feeling that there's something more to this that you're not sharing, but we obviously can't know what that is. "All I am saying is take your damn topic and idea and make simpletons like me understand how this benefits any other person in society" Lots of people have major challenges reconciling their various identities into a healthy whole, whether those identities co-exist or are more separated by time and space. It can be done, though. For those with such a challenge, this video can be very helpful. For you, maybe not so much. That's no reason to complain.

  358.  @ampavoo  You are in darkness. Willful ignorance isn't a good look for anybody. You have zero authority to determine what's "natural" or otherwise for anybody but yourself. When people post crap like you did, there's typically a secret that they refuse to share, the real cause of their pain. Share your pain so we may know what your dark secret is.

We don't fully understand the brain yet, but we're always making progress. We need not resort to magical explanations for human behavior or world events.

  367.  @khalidhayat6461  Nobody ever said a person wasn't allowed to have his opinion. However, not all opinions are created equal. Take being "against homosexuality." Nobody has a valid, humane reason for that kind of opinion . Every opinion that flows in that direction is founded on fear and ignorance.

  368.  @khalidhayat6461  Are you being willfully ignorant? There is no such thing as a "straight gene" either. Sexual orientation comes from a number of factors, but it is innate. Gay or straight, one doesn't choose their sexual orientation. If you cannot understand that, you are hopefully to have an adult conversation with.

Unless you fight for change, which is what Aaron Fricke did in the early 80s, filing suit against his high school to be allowed to bring a male date to the prom. So, no. "Can I go in my underwear to a dodger game!?" This and your prior twaddle are all false analogies, and are summarily dismissed. "Their rules and regulations." ....are wrong, and B has made this public, despite the fact that they did not end up going to the school prom. Tradition for tradition's sake is not an argument for anything. "People think they can step on Christian’s and disrespect them." It's truly the other way around, and always has been. "Send her to Dubai without a headscarf and let’s hear some complaints." Do you think you've said something profound? I disabuse you of the notion.

"You act like there is not tons of people all around you shouting at you about the truth!!" "Truth" - Begging the question is a logical fallacy. It is when you use the point you’re trying to prove as an argument to prove that very same point. Rather than proving the conclusion is true, it assumes it. As I said, you have zero integrity in your arguments. "Me for example. So you can no longer use the excuse that people are not trying to shake the s%^t out of you to WAKE UP!!! Look what happens when reality gets put back in your lap." You truly believe you've "put reality in my lap." 😂 You poor, myth-addled miscreant. Religion has poisoned your sad little brain. And again, it has supplanted whatever faculty of reasoning you might have once had. You've missed the calling of humanity in favor of superstition.

"You just relentlessly want to put your pee pee in a poop hole." Taking hubris in your personal disgust again? That's a good 5-year-old! "This is what you fight for in life as aaronrosenberg6633. LOL Are you Sol Rosen Berg? The super grabbler jewish?" Awww, look who's also an anti-semite - how surprising. Look at you trying to push my buttons with non-talking points and failing miserably. You can't be a mouthpiece for your non-existent skydaddy. You can't show he exists. So what does the "Christian" have? Only ad hominem attacks. How unexpected for a Christian.

  397. "they wont stop till men are slaves to women" I sincerely doubt that. The "raging monsters" are few and far between, and every movement has its fringe element. I have noticed such reactionism—slippery slope fallacies—in response to other equality struggles as well. "If they get full rights, they will take over!" Is it that people so sorely need to feel superior to others?
    2
  398. This doesn't preclude their need to feel superior to women. In fact, it supports the idea. Aggressively circulating around the web the small amount of dangerous radicalism that does exist is indeed their tact, as it is with anybody who intends to snuff out equality for any marginalized population. For every Valerie Solanis, there are a million bell hooks.

The words from self-appointed mouth-pieces for figment-deities-who-hate-all-the-same-people-they-hate, plus 25¢, will still only buy you a gum ball from the supermarket dispenser. As you chew, consider that you've got nothing to show for your god-made-in-your-own-image – that, despite centuries of desperate assertions, that work is still cut out of for you. Don't pretend it isn't, and don't pretend that your myth-book is proof, rather than just another assertion. Justifying your own hateful ignorance with superstition is not just lazy, but also cowardly. Your highest calling is humanity, and you seem to have missed it. There may be yet be hope for you, though. REPENT!
    2
  423. You assume that any work has ever been done on your behalf to show that god exists. That work has never been accomplished, despite millennia of desperate assertions. You've got nothing. In fact you've got more than nothing, as is evidenced by your silly irrelevant rant.

  437. Dookie6891 Unpack "protect homosexuality." As I see it, this amounts to protecting equality, and that's always good.  Because there are zero reasons to marginalize LGBT people, protecting their right to equality is in the best interest of the rest of the population.
    1
  438. Zoh87 "I had no problem with her long winded tale about herself or her trials, or the statistics about homosexual mortality" Okay. "... but when she mentioned she wanted to help well, Morgana's message is shallow, her consequences are speculations" And how do you conclude this?  "...and she offers no response, solution or action to alleviate those personal stresses faced with hiding yourself." "...faced with being yourself?" That's not really a logical comment. Perhaps you could reword it. "She is not a support network for LGBT teens and young adults like The Trevor Project," Nor is that a requirement for delivering an effective message and providing guidance." "They do not simply tell you to "be yourself" because life is more complicated than that." There is also more than one way to combat institutionalized bigotry. "Life" is more complicated than any one prescription. That does't preclude any one prescription from being valid and effective to a great number of people.

  439. Dennis Maeder What do you think they are advocating for, their release? Lifers are still humans. They spend most of their lives behind bars. I'm glad to be reminded of this ugly reality. There's no "mercy"spending life locked up.

  440. Dennis Maeder "They ask for forgiveness - release from consequence." Do not conflate these two things. Even if they were released from jail, they could never get back the years they lost there. So there is no "release from consequence."   Forgiveness? I've got it in me. You can't know their lives.  But you seem bent on pigeonholing these women and stripping them of any humanity, so hey, have fun with that. Wouldn't want to be you.

  443. Luke De Casas Well, there's food for thought there. All things being equal, they wouldn't be given the same respectful audience. But there are circumstances where genius gets respect regardless of the crime. I suppose extraordinary criminality requires an extraordinary mind to earn respect, or something like that. 
    1
  444. Azureim Not sure how this fits into the discussion of respecting ideas, but in any case, I don't feel a need for their words or ideas to be suppressed. I don't know personally if their punishments fit their crimes. Maybe some are sociopathic. I don't know. But it's sobering just being reminded that people spend almost an entire lifetime locked up.  Being removed from society is the consequence for their crime. I can't imagine how horrible that would be. But I have to wonder how many non-inmates actually hope that these women's lives are as miserable as possible. If anybody hopes for that, they should examine their own lives.

  445. Azureim I see your point....to a point. But if you read TED's mission (https://www.ted.com/about/our-organization), you might find some parallels.

  446. ChelovegII There's nothing mystical or numinous about about what avedic said. It's simply that there's a state of empathy and humaneness that's possible to reach. But some people are blocked by others and by themselves from reaching it. It's just sad.

" It just goes to show you that Homosexuality is 100% a desire that does NOT have to be acted on." ...only reveals your willful ignorance. Sexual attraction, sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, all of these combine differently in different people. It's more than your mind can wrap itself around, that's apparent. But where others admit to ignorance, you conclude what makes you most comfortable—that yours is the one true sexual orientation. Pity you.

  451. "also I noticed in your youtube profile you like to look up videos that somehow "dismiss the idea of God." Also typical of a homosexual." Typical for a homosexual? What have you to show for this claim? In fact, many homosexual people are quite religious. It seems like you're really trying hard, though. "Trying to dismiss God so in thier eyes they're lifestyle is exceptable with no one to tell them different." As opposed to justifying your personal bigotry with superstition, right? Hmm.
    1
  452. Top Cat Churches can do what they want. Gay people can still get married. Everybody wins. What you likely see it as, however, is encroachment on your "religious freedom." I hear so many people whining, all because they can't feel superior to gay people anymore.

  454. You're right that there doesn't seem to be any objective data as to why cities with more eclectic building materials are better for their inhabitants than cities that incorporate a lot of glass. I could only speak for myself, having lived in two major cities, in saying that a mixed architectural environment, rather than one comprised mostly of glass, makes me feel happier, more welcome, relaxed, and friendly.

  456. TheAnnoyingGunner The thing is, she's not a celebrity, and so her coming out isn't really the same as that of those in the public eye. That gives it a different type of force in the context of her talk.  You can't say "it is no longer controversial and no one cares anymore" until true equal rights is a complete reality in all the U.S. states. That is not yet the case. Visibility is still a powerful tool toward that end.

  462. +MB Interesting read. I guess it depends on your perspective. I can imagine your point of view, but see the Pantone colors only as an extremely effective vehicle to a greater purpose. They sets standard colors globally. There are so many unique colors—enough to match every skin tone—that they can perhaps express the uniqueness of every individual's skin tone. I don't think it has anything to do with your implied hierarchy of value, and I don't see the photos as mugshots at all. What kind of background do you have, anyway?
    1
  463. +Rum Dreg This is about LGBT people in other countries being visible and making a difference. That in itself is an argument for equality. Why are you whining?

  464. tbone martinez Quite the opposite. You have been flaunting your heterosexual "lifestyle" in the face of those who hadn't had equal rights. Now you can no longer feel superior. And the empty appeal to tradition for tradition's sake carries zero weight.

  465. tbone martinez Of course you don't want to ask. The answer is very simple, but it flies right over the head of hardcore bigots like yourself. Willful ignorance is your modus operandi.

  472. 121ego "he will have to tell his sons why is not like that at home, with his family, or with mommy." He can tell his sons that there are people who are different than them. Think they can handle that? I see you couldn't. "This man is - in my opinion - obviously bi or a closeted gay person." On what do you base your opinion? The fact that a man is comfortable with people who are different from him, that he is able to celebrate the diversity of all people, that he is comfortable enough with his own sexuality that it doesn't worry him to to dance in public. Your opinion is based in ignorance. "How would he explain this to his Muslim constituency...?" He has no "explaining" to do. His actions speak much louder than words: All are accepted.
    1
  473. 121ego 1. Completely incoherent. 2. Does not answer the question why you consider Trudeau to be gay simply becausehe associates with gay people. 3. I know more heterosexuals who practice anal sex than homosexuals, so it's clear that buttsex is really what's been on your mind the whole time, isn't it? You enjoy thinking about it and either a) getting turned on or b) grossing yourself out in order to trumpet your personal disgust,which amounts exactly zero in adult discourse. But to answer the child's question, the father says "However they want to. There are many ways to express love." Only you say "anal sex" because, well, you want it. "You can not make normal what it is not." You're assuming that that normal = good. In any case, you are unable to define normal, and we both know you have a dirty little secret or two that would completely exclude you from your own definition of that word. "Truth is always much better than a lie." That's why I don't pretend to know about people about whom I'm clueless. You ought to try that. It's called having integrity. " It makes you free." But not you.

  474. johnathan smith "Aaron - It is not my intention to argue with you." No? You seem to misunderstand your own words, then. You're not excused. "that is possible too, because those are vile affections," Why would you believe that your biblical opinions contain any merit? Or do they just support your own personal bias, which you would enjoy presenting as objective truth? " and I know of people who ".. practiced excessive fornication..", so it does not surprise me." False equivalence. You're not doing very well. "Excessive fornication" means what, exactly? Sexual activity of a type with which you yourself do not partake? "The edge goes both ways. It's the fact, not the people who I speak of." I'm sure you have no idea of what you speak, though your tone and your comments on other videos lead me to believe that you've been swindled out of a capacity for rational thought.

That line helps us know how we're doing.

  480. I see. Sorry to jump down your throat.  Where I'm from, they are equal, can marry, and cannot be discriminated against, and worldwide it seems like a two steps forward one step back scenario, so it does seem things are improving, despite the idiocy that sometimes seems to prevail. But I'm also admittedly asserting the situation as a moral imperative, even where it is not acknowledged: In a just system, LGBT people are entitled to the same privileges as non-LGBT people.

  486. Mayur Patil It's interesting that you decide without knowing that I'm "jobless." What does it serve you to fabricate lies to assuage your personal shortcomings? Pity you.

  489. BariumCobaltNitrog3n "I think that's his theme" Nope. He's overcome being victimized. That's the reason they put him onstage. "told him to... e-nun-ci-ate..." They may have, but I doubt that instruction would be specific for him. Overcoming his past stuttering problem would seem to have licked that problem. " I mean suffer and make us feel it." I see no suffering there. No victim-playing. Only victory. Victimized in the past, true. No longer, though. But I've noticed and am interested in this bizarre phenomenon where people (you and FoxVoxDK, for example) seem to require and thus insert victims where none exist. What mindset does this? A fragile ego? Insecure? Tell me.
    1
  490. BariumCobaltNitrog3n "It bothers me to hear people complain about how bad their life is/was when others with the same issues just deal with it and move on." Every indication in the video is that Safwat Saleem dealt with it and moved on. That's why he's doing the talk. Hearing stories about how people overcame their problems is not the same thing as hearing someone complain. So I'm left believing that you have a personal problem that you're unable or unwilling to discuss. "He points out that being on the stage was difficult," So? Seems you have difficulty with just about anything anybody would say about anything being difficult. Again, this is your problem. Stop projecting. "Any other TED speaker saying that would be an aside." It's relevant to his history and his struggle. He came out on top. You are the whiner here, not him. "Also, his talk wasn't specifically about Technology, Entertainment or Design...", Read TED's website at http://www.ted.com/about/our-organization: "TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics..." "...but how difficult it is to be him." Nope. Seems the true issue here is how difficult it is to be you. He discussed how he was able to switch perspective and overcome his his difficulties. That seems to be a common thread among all TED talks: fixing problems. You have a personal bias here, but I can't know what it is. Next time, before you begin whining, check yourself. "Do you stutter? Why the White Knight?" I do not. I only have cultivated a faculty of empathy. This takes no "White Knight" mentality. It only takes answering higher calling of humanity. Try it.

  492. BariumCobaltNitrog3n "haha hardly. No and no." Funny..."Get a life" suggests otherwise. "You have not hit a nerve, and reflection does not cause pain, unless you are referring to yourself." Ooh, ouch. Such tables turned. "You know nothing about me" What I know is what you've shared, which is not nothing. It's true that that I don't know your deepest secrets, which are likely what's causing your attitude problem. But I already mentioned that. "... and yet continue to insult me while patting yourself on the back for being such a caring person." For someone seeking victims in victors, you sure play the victim to a T. "You're a bully" Nah, bullies threaten harm. You're simply having your ideas scrutinized, being held to task. Your ego seems pretty fragile. If calling you out on your twaddle makes me into a bully in your eyes, you must not do very well. " and a hypocrite who rages at people with different opinions than your own." And what of your own original post - your "opinion?" Do you believe that all opinions carry equal weight? They do not. Yours is baseless and reveals a corrupt sensibility. Your use of the term "rage"is interesting. Why, I wonder, would you conflate a nonsensical tirade with the simple task of holding you accountable for your "opinion?" " If you truly had empathy, you would treat others, whose opinions you don't share, with dignity and respect." I treat all people with respect. But their opinions are not afforded the same. If you have an unsupportable position, it will be examined and ridiculed if it cannot be substantiated. If that hurts your feelings, I guess it's time for you to regroup. To restate, I've noticed and am interested in this bizarre phenomenon where people seem to require and thus insert victims where none exist. You have not provided any satisfactory response to this. "Not this condescending, smarmy bile you think is so clever. Spanky? You are confused." Make no mistake. You are playing the part of a Spanky. It's obvious the deflection you are mustering to deflect from accountability for your inane comments. Regardless of what you say next, you will think twice next time. "Try saying something reasonable and heartfelt once in your life." Fabricating what you cannot know seems to fit with the personality who posted the original comment. "Be nice to people, say kind things, get a life" Uh-oh...more deflection. And the irony, too. " of honor and maturity, reflect on those you have insulted for no reason." Oh, I do. You, Spanky, are being insulted for a very good reason, however. And on some level, you know that. You're only digging in your heels. "That is what I mean when I say get a life, you pathetic little weasel." Cornered, the prey lashes out. "You ARE an idiot, but not the charming savant kind of idiot, just an ordinary common fool." Unable to fend, he snarls, grimaces and spews vitriol.

  514. Jordan Wendt  " if you have a penis, you're a boy. A vagina, you're a girl." You seem confused. Transgenderism is not the topic here. Sexual orientation.  We know that people fall on all parts of the spectrum between 100% straight and 100% gay. It is natural. We know that homosexuality is a perfectly healthy sexual orientation.  Those who are both religious and uncomfortable with difference tend to use their religion to support their fear, and that's sad. It's sad especially because you pretend that any work has ever been done on your behalf to prove that your god-who-hates-all-the-same-things-you-hate actually exists. None of that work has ever been accomplished, which leaves you looking pretty lazy.
    1
  515. Jordan Wendt "yes, it's the Christians fault that gays are killing themselves" Yes, in large part, it is. Glad you can see that. "and Christians are why most gay people are promiscuous." Like lesbians? Oh, you forgot about them? I guess you have to contend with that now. But yes, religion—Christianity in the U.S. specifically—plays a huge role.  "I bet you get more mad at a Christian baker who won't bake a cake for a gay wedding than Isis throwing gay people off of buildings." And I bet you cheer gleefully at both.  "Keep living in fantasy land if you like..." Keep failing to answer to the higher call of humanity. Your in-group superiority will crumble one day.

  521. Facundo Dilota "Surely i can, but english is not my language" I wasn't talking about your grammar. "..and i didn't had a formal english education." It doesn't matter. You seem to believe you have a formal science education. Tell us how you know that all fields of science converging on the fact of climate change are wrong. "Besides, is not me in the TED talks. He is the one to have to explain." That work has already been accomplished. He is re-stating the fact in the context of the dinosaurs being helpless, while we are not. "The end is near. You choose the cause." Listen to you trying to be prophetic. Are you getting Christian on me?
    1
  522. Facundo Dilota "He show himself as a great scientist, in his own field, and then, close the talks with this alarming message on something outside his knowlege or field." The fact of climate change is no longer outside anyone's knowledge. He is to be commended for using this opportunity to heighten awareness.
    1
  523. Facundo Dilota "There is no consensus about climate change and their causes, no matter what some people says." You're a science denier, then. Here is one link - http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/science/weight-of-the-evidence.html#.Vz3Q5JMrIo9 Some details may be "still in debate," but there is no denying that the problem is real. Do you also deny evolution? I have a weird feeling you do. "There are so many variables still in debate... i can not take nothing for sure." Bullshit. There's lots you can be sure of. Wenhong Li, an atmospheric scientist at Duke University: “Our understanding of the mechanisms that drive the climate system is far from perfect,” Li says. But she adds that the statistical evidence presented in her research is powerful and should not be ignored. She likens it to the statistical correlations between smoking and lung cancer, which were clear long before the mechanisms of carcinogenesis were clearly understood. “In both cases, the statistical data can give you important information that can help to avoid risk,” she says. Willful ignorance means you don't have worry, though, doesn't it? "That´s why i was expecting some king of explanation, and not only a declaration of principles." Read this: http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/science/climate-scientist-benjamin-santer.html#.Vz3SHpMrIo8 "Maybe is my fault, maybe i am not accepting the truth of the majority, but i still think that science is not democratic and has to be explained." The explanations are out there. While the hard science can be difficult for some to grasp, what is not difficult is to understand that multiple branches of science converge upon the same truth. "Thank you for the talk. This subject is over for me." You're running away from reality.

Freedman brought up an sexist situation that she overcame when she was 14, and is proud of herself for overcoming. For some reason, that really bothered you. "Oh, so now you're using ad hominem attacks." Nope. Just guessing. And you go ahead and ignore what doesn't suit you. Your m.o. becomes increasingly clear. "I'm not fragile." Reading between the lines, I sincerely beg to differ. "But it makes your argument that much weaker when you can't refute points, but resort to such tactics." Points? Did you have one? Nope. "I've already explained why I made my comment." Apparently, you're "explanation" doesn't pass muster with me. I have a higher standard. Care to meet it? "If that answer isn't good enough for you, that's your problem." Problem? No. You dodge the big questions, it's clear that the problem is wholly yours. I consider myself a catalyst. "But making assumptions when the answer was clear for anyone to see just makes your argument void." Pretending you've answered is your tactic. You have not.

The fact remains that there are many people whose brain-gender does not match the gender of their anatomical genitalia.  Labeling them according to their genitalia to spite them and make yourself feel superior seems to say much more about you than  them.

  569. I'd bet that much of the audience already knew something about the pentatonic scale. Maybe try it again, but ignore the melody he's singing simultaneously. "Music Learning Theory"is a well-researched, science-based music-learning method developed by Edwin Gordon. It parallels the natural language-learning process. Sound comes first. You simply listen—"acculturate"—you move, you repeat/echo, learn rote pieces on an instrument. Like language, reading and writing comes much later. It's proven to be quite successful. There's a new student/teacher book by Andy Mullen based in this method, called "The Literate Musician." Another good book is called "How Children Learn Music" by Eric Bluestine.

  586.  @melman7738  "religion has become corrupted".... Religion has always been corrupt, at least the monotheistic religions. Can you think of a time when these religions haven't killed in their name? "but God hasn't." "God" is only an idea. You are begging the question, a logical fallacy. You assume what you must first prove - that any god exists. This has never been shown to be true, despite millennia of desperate assertions, intense eye-squinting, and sleight-of-mind trickery. "Like you said, just because people can't physically see God they use him as a way to do evil but he isn't." I'll just repeat: You can make no claims about any entity whose existence you are incapable of showing. "Anyways my belief is my belief" Indeed. "and I'm okay with it as long as I don't hurt anyone." If you have children and you teach them to believe something exists with zero evidence, you are hurting them by stunting them intellectually.

  591. But his talking points don't rely on the assumption that we'd need to have traveled to other worlds. His assumptions (and he does not present them as absolutes), are based in his own deductions through critical reasoning, which itself seems based on some fairly hardcore research.
    1
  592. Again, he is not saying, "I am totally right about this." Why would you confuse Webb with, say, a preacher? He is only offering his viewpoint, albeit based on lots of research and some deep considerations. "You think our research and technology is hard-core. What makes you so certain that it is?" We have created standards for research. The scientific method is one of these. The peer review process is another. Scientific process creates testable models and by nature employs a high dose of skepticism in drawing conclusions. "I have no proof that aliens exist. But I've studied history. And history says that we've always misinterpreted what we think we are looking at." History says no such thing. If that were the case—that science is always misinterpreting—there would be no progress at all; nothing would work. What you seem to be saying here is that because scientists are sometimes wrong, we should never trust them, and therefore we can believe what ever we want without relying on the evidence that science produces. "The more logical approach to this problem is to think that, most likely, we are not looking at this correctly." Scientific research already does this. That's why it's so rigorous. It posits every possible scenario as to why it might be wrong, and tests those. "I believe that we don't understand a majority of the universe. So how can we start making judgments about what it really is?" Again, this seems like a "What the bleep do we know" sort of position to take. As if we should never begin to try to understand. Good thing that scientists don't think like you. We would never have sent out those rovers to Mars.

  593. Science is self-correcting. That does not make it useless. Why? Because it has utility and you can begin with computer you're typing on and the polio you don't have. It improves upon itself. Sometimes that means a small adjustment to a concept, and sometimes a complete overhaul. It makes no claims to perfection, but it is the very best way we have of understanding the universe. "I am all for science and scientists, except when they're saying something illogical." I don't hear anything illogical coming from Webb.

  594. I'm under the assumption that you're attacking science because your whole spin, even in light of your proclaimed love for science, seems to be that it's something we can't learn from. I'm not being defensive.

  595. Of course we aren't right about everything. But why spin that into, "We barely know anything about ourselves..."? We know lots, even if we don't know everything.

  596. I didn't say that we have it all figured out. I said we know lots. We can measure the progress. We know more than we used to. We can test hypotheses from what we know and then we can know more. We likely will never "have it all figured out," at least in our lifetimes. Tough for us. But again, I sense an underlying denial of some sort, and I cannot pinpoint it. It's as if you have a hidden motive that only you know.

  597. What I meant was that it seems like you're keeping something hidden. Of course we will be much further along in 1000 years. I don't think it's a silly talk. Consider that the possibility that we're alone is real, and that these are the factors that lead a scientist to present the possibility. His line of thinking is sound. As the description reads, "he spells out the remarkable barriers a planet would need to clear in order to host an extraterrestrial civilization."

  598.  @thoughtheretic  "because obese people shouldn't be lecturing about health" I'll just post what I told FRactalPrism: You pretend that she's giving a talk on how to lose weight so you can feel good about discrediting her. Her PhD is in biological anthropology. She teaches university courses on evolutionary medicine, primate evolution and behavior, human biological variation and female reproductive physiology. She's lectured undergrad and grad students at Harvard, Boston University and Tufts University, and has earned multiple awards for teaching excellence. You can find all this out on your own. Something is very wrong with you. But that's your personal burden to bear.

Do not pretend it isn't, hiding behind a false pretense. Justifying your very personal hatred with superstition is not only lazy, but cowardly.

  624. "I didn't argue that they didn't have the "right" to do this performance." Okay. But you asserted that "nobody else cares." Why might you make such assumptions? Rallying the invisible troops? Why would believe they need to "get over themselves?" "I'm criticizing the content of the piece." No, you're criticizing the actual subject. If you wanted to criticize the content, you'd have to critique it as an art critic. That would mean digging much deeper. "What are talking about with the "German art song"? I know you're making an assumption about my beliefs, but I don't understand what you think I believe." Incorrect. The video set you off, but we can't know why. That's your own dark little secret. Maybe you don't even know. Were it a different artistic performance expressing cultural pride and strength of a different population, my guess is that you'd be silent. Why do you insist they're "obsessed with their gender and skin tone" because their art is about their identity? Why do you think they'd make art about their identity to begin with? Look at your reflection.

  628. The talk is given by someone based on his personal experience of typical reactions to him. This does not mean it's assuming lack of audience empathy/sympathy. There may be some preaching to the choir regarding the TED audience in the room, but the larger Youtube audience—you, for example—does not constitute the choir. "The video is assigning special status to the ever nebulous "Transgender" brand" Wrong. That's only your "special" way of saying that you don't want previously marginalized groups to attain equal status because then you can't feel superior to them. You're transparent. It's pathetic how you attempt to put a negative spin on "social justice." It only goes further to explain your need to dig in your heels rather than do the work to develop a faculty of empathy, which you apparently sorely lack. "TED videos are supposed to trigger critical thinking" And they do. It's only not possible when people aren't capable of critical reasoning.

  629. "I'm not implying anything for the LGBTQ community based on her topic." Nor did I say you were. You do seem to be complaining into the void about something, though. "Sorry stopped taking your "breakdown" after that seriously.." You'll have to point out to me where "that" is, since I can't find it anywhere in my response. "If you do not understand something when I put it in an hypothesis framework, dont try to argue with it." Let me turn the tables right back around for you: If you do not understand a video's message, don't draw false conclusions and then complain that "this talk was literally nothing..no beneficence to society" while posing a red herring. "If your feelings are hurt because I didn't like this talk, cant help you." We both know my feelings aren't hurt. Your initial post, however, would indicate that yours are. "Arguing with me isn't magically going to make her topic any relevant." If, after gaining understanding of the topic, it's still irrelevant to you, remember - it's just irrelevant to you (which is kind of a shame, but whatever). If you'd rather not have the cauliflower, don't eat it. Don't whine when others do. "The logical fallacy that you choose to argue on that there must be something wrong with me for me to find this topic uninteresting or idea as irrelevant makes me wonder about your argumentative and debating skills. Personal attacks won't get you anywhere." I don't think there's anything wrong with you to find this topic uninteresting (that is, assuming you understood it). I indeed think there's something wrong with reacting disdainfully (as you did) because of that. "Yes, read my response. I didn't have to accuse you of anything to counter your point. That's how adults argue." I'm sorry, but you didn't counter anything. This is one reason why I do "breakdowns." It may seem tedious, but it's a way to address ideas one by one. You explaining how "adults argue" is rather ironic. "If you are proud of your scholastic aptitude it will explain your responses to every comment on this video--> See what I did there? Accusing someone of something needs evidence. Just because I hurt your feelings by not liking this video doesnt give you a default higher moral ground." Predicating anything on "hurting my feelings" is a straw man fallacy. My conclusion was "that there's something more to this that you're not sharing, but we obviously can't know what that is." How's that for adult? And it's shown by your next comment.... "This video is crap according to some people..you also dont have to be against LGBTQ to not like it." Every video is crap to some people. Cauliflower taste like crap to some people. But they only need abstain from eating it and giving dirty looks to those who do. "I have always been for gay rights and always will be." Huzzah! "So yeah..bye. Ego driven arguing on social media is bad- learn to respect opinions and maybe someone will respect you." I'm not seeking your respect, Spanky. And not all opinions are deserving of equal respect, as they are definitely not all created equal. "And by the way. The way you're desperately trying to comment on this video to everyone actually points to the fact that you are the one that thinks this is a zero sum game." Desperately trying? No, sorry. Just addressing similar ignorance to yours, and with some amount of satisfaction. Perhaps the desperation is yours, then? You must be projecting. Lastly, you are apparently unaware of what I mean by a "zero-sum game." You ought to stop attempting this table-turning. It's not working for you.

It's not a zero-sum game. "Normal people, who represent the majority of people on Earth, won't care about these things and it's time to accept it." Right-handed people are also "normal," yet equipment is made especially for left-handed dentists. Pretending "normal" means "better" is your tack, and in fact, it just means boring. Take pride in it, though, if you want to. The majority of people on Earth have come to realize that, being boring, diversity is pretty cool, and so they support it. Continued progress, however slow, testifies to this.

  666. "For more than 100 years now, atheists have been obsessed with proving that humans are descended from apes." Atheists are simply people who don't believe any any god(s). In fact many evolution scientists, including Darwin, were theists. "There are no depths to which they will not sink to render their thesis more plausible as this shocking video shows." This scientist is revealing her finds and proclaiming that it's still a mystery, yet you call this "sinking to the depths." Sounds like your terrified of science. "The original idea was to “prove” that God does not exist although many of their successors deny this as the evidence from genetics increasingly makes obvious that creation of the universe is an infinitely organised phenomenon" No, the original idea of science is to not do disprove god, though a few scientists have attempted that. One such exception is Victor Stenbger's book "God: The Failed Hypothesis." Give it a read someday. "So the evolutionary biologists and palaeontologists have evolved a history that is as absurd as that of institutional religion," Trying to conflate religion and science is how theists try to insult science, but just end up insulting religion. Ironic, huh? "So speciation equals Noah’s Ark, for example, a common ancestor is, of course Adam and Eve, and natural selection God’s covenant with Abraham" Nobody has ever had anything to show for any god. You speak as if that work has been accomplished on your behalf. Despite millennia of desperate assertions, that work remains. Don't be lazy, now. "It’s all lies lies and more lies. Sick people desperate for credibility obsessed with their own superiority, endlessly preaching to the converted who bask in the glory of their own contempt for “religitards” science." Fixed that last little bit for you, and you have yourself nicely described. Tell me where superstition gets you again...

Insisting that your church is responsible for others' human dignity is really the tack of an underdeveloped education. You believe that your religion is what's holding you back from harmful behavior. Ironically, your dogmatic mindset is what keeps you behaving badly. What? You thought you were a good person? I must disabuse you of that notion. Sure, it may not be your fault—your mind has been hijacked by religion—but there it is. "Must make you sad as celebrities talk about how Jesus has made a difference in their life, and all you have is a big bowl of nothing!" And again, pretending to know what you can't possibly know. You must convince yourself that others' lives are empty with your Jeebus. That's the Christian, in-group way. You pretend it's love, but it's just hating pretty. And despite your severe myopia, willful ignorance, and probable deficit in learning, I still would not decide that you have a "big bowl of nothing." Also, just as many celebrities are atheists. But what's with the fallacious appeal, as if celebrities' opinions matter? I think you're grasping at straws.

What's sad about you is your need to perpetuate the immoral habit of so many theists: - to insist that others are bereft without your god. In reality, though, this is only how you soothe yourself. The words from self-appointed mouthpieces for figment deities, plus a shiny quarter, will only buy a gum ball from the supermarket dispenser. As you chew, consider that justifying your very personal homophobia via superstition is not only cowardly, but also extraordinarily lazy. Consider the charlatanism of your pretension to know others' minds based on their belief, or lack thereof, in your deity.

Justifying your hate with your convenientlly-absent-god-who-hates-all-the-same-people-you-hate is cowering behind superstition and it's not just cowardly, but lazy. You've got zero to show for your deity, despite the centuries of desperate, hollow, blathering assertions to the contrary. Zero. Do not pretend that work has ever been accomplished on your behalf. It remains for you. Until such a time as you can put up, shut up. You're making a fool of yourself.

  735. Astrology has zero basis in scientific understanding. Chemistry/biology do. But I say nothing to my friends who say things like, "You're such a virgo." I just smile and nod my head.

  736. "The position of the sun, the alignment of the planet's and the way the moon affects the tidal waves and it's magnetic pull on our make up are all based on science." This is an attempt to hijack science into woo. "...it's pull on our make up" is an assertion for which you have zero to show. "Just because you can't intellectualize it or rationalize it doesn't make it any less true." Just because you assert "it's true" doesn't make it so. The possibility of something, no matter how strongly you want to believe it, does not make it probable, especially when there is nothing to show for it. "Humans have always behaved in predictable patterns and astrology gives us clues and insights." Just like necromancy and palmistry do. In other words, zilch.

  737. Doubting something based on lack of evidence makes me a perfectionist, hmm? I do hope you realize how arrogant it is to pretend to know something you don't know (astrology), versus admitting ignorance on a matter until evidence is produced (science). The latter is the humble stance and involves no confirmation bias, wishful thinking, or pseudoscience. Here: https://undsci.berkeley.edu/article/astrology_checklist Continuing attempts to irritate by calling me a Virgo? Interesting defense.

  738. "you're no fun at a party. Lighten up" Now you're pretending to know about my social life and demeanor, based only on my response to you. Do these types of conclusions just come with the territory of believing whatever you want? I won't stoop to your level by providing the details that would shame you, but you'd be awfully surprised at how wrong you are. "Your beliefs work with you. " I'm afraid this is only bad poetry. "Mine work for me smarty pants." Do you know what confirmation bias is? "Go get a gelato." It's too early in the day. "Rest that brain of yours." It's too early in the day. But this comment is quite telling. If you continue to post without defending your position on astrology, I'm afraid I'll be muting you. I regret already wasting my time.
    1
  739. "I don't need to defend myself," If you want to be taken even half seriously, yeah, you do. Otherwise, you have zero integrity, and you feed on the gullible. " It's quite obvious you get a rise out of proving someone wrong." Integrity is a requirement for me, and only a self-preservation technique. You are cornered, and so you likely see your inability to validate your position as me being happy about it. Where you believe you get to decide that astrology predicts your future, the theist by similar reasoning gets to decide that, as a black woman, you are inferior and unclean. "You like wasting your time." I've continued thus far because I have had success in making people think. Obviously, though, you are unable to think, at least critically. " You didn't need me to do it." I don't see it as a complete waste of time, however, since there are those woo-addled people who will read this and perhaps take a second look at what they thought about astrology. You've provided the platform for this. Thank you.

Sexual orientation is never "determined by religion." It is only bullied by religion. Sexual orientation is biological mandate.

  745.  @khalidhayat6461  "so I don't think we will ever be able to see eye to eye" Of course we would. All you need to do is show that your god is real, and then after that, that your god agrees with you that homosexuality is wrong. But you cannot do that, and that's where your opinion—or where it stems from—is invalid. You base your opinions on deity, and you pretend that the work as already been accomplished on your behalf to show that your deity exists. None of that work has ever been accomplished. It remains for you. Your scripture is not evidence for your deity, but only another claim, a myth-book. Agreeing to disagree is disingenuous in cases like these. Justifying your homophobia with superstition is pure laziness. "I genuinely thought about your replies" There's more to think about.

  759. "oh dear God youre trying to tell me how to spell with a phones keyboard." No excuse. "hey everyone we got a keyboard warrior over here!" Is that what you label people who can spell? "and actually you can look it up, homosexual men are more likely to get HIV with unprotected sex if its occasional to them." And why would homosexual men take more risks with their lives? I don't think you understood this part: Homophobia make the lives of gay people miserable, and then homophobes point to that misery as a symptom of homosexuality rather than one of homophobia. Do you understand then that saying gay men are more likely to contract HIV is only pointing a finger at homophobia, thus yourself, as the ultimate cause? "also, youre putting more than two quotation marks when youre quoting, stop it, its triggering me." Nope. It's my way of addressing you point by point. "and great thanks for asking no im not a child?." Okay, so you're just under-educated. " "homophobia ruins lives, ect ect" again. boo hoo, deportation ruins lives, racism ruins lives, home incomes ruin lives, daca production is currently ruining lives." All true. Do you have a point? Or are you simply asserting that those who points out that institutionalized racism, homophobia, and poverty are wrong should just shut up? "it takes so much for you people to realize you guys arent as important as you want to feel," LOL. How important do we want to feel? Does fighting discrimination and violence against us mean we want to feel important ? You have a fucked-up spin you enjoy putting on things in order to paint LGBT people—obviously your enemy—as bad people. LGBT people are as important as anybody else. That's what equality is about. "we people have more things to care about besides some gays online bitching about someone not liking them for what they do," Then go bitch about something else. Obviously, you've got a bone to pick here or you'd have SFTU already, wouldn't you have? It's not a zero-sum game. Do you know what that means? It means that other problems in the world don't negate this one. "if anyones the child its whoever that makes a big deal about it," So you don't enjoy it when people complain about inequality, but when you constantly whine that they should shut up, they're the child. Interesting. " grow the fuck up, this earth isnt meant to be sunshine and rainbows." People who work to make it better are to be commended. They've probably saved your life 1,000 times over and you don't even know it. There is something wrong when your sense of superiority feels threatened if those you've held as inferior win equality. You really have no idea how immature you are, do you?

  760. How exactly does this being the internet change anything? Does it let you off the hook? " I actually don't care" I'm afraid you do. Else you would never have had the need to post your original comment. " but I'm against people trying to seek for attention by being gay and other "genders" " Just like Wasabi Fox, you enjoy twisting the situation to fit your phobic worldview. The video is about conversion camps, where gay kids are forced to go, brainwashed into self-loathing by religious zealots masquerading as scientists. Is pointing out the travesty of these camps the same as "seeking attention by being gay" ? Not even close. I hope you find yourself someday in a situation that forces you to find your faculty of empathy.

  765. If you understand how sexual orientation works, and you support LGBTQ people, why would you have posted your first comment? "we could be getting a nuke threat 12 minutes from now" Any number of things could be and are happening right now. If we get a nuke threat, we'll deal with that (or we won't live to deal with anything). But you don't get to decide which causes are most important for other people . Telling someone that what they hold as precious is meaningless because something else is more meaningful is....meaningless. "....we could be minutes away from a war ..." We could always be minutes away from a war. In fact, we probably are minutes away from a war more often than we know. I don't think you should bathe, therefore. What's the point, right? We're all gonna die. What you seem to enjoy is introducing the element of panic, then pointing at the panic as justification for ignoring what you don't want to talk about. Give it a rest.

"Mostly they are ment do give you back health, mobility and cureness of pain issues." And I imagine that those are also valid surgeries for this method, should a patient agree. "Therefore it's better to wait than let a rookie with a possible bad internet connection bungle your body." First, that only assumes that the "rookie" hasn't got enough experience to follow directions. But we saw the surgeon in the video was successful, able to learn, and eventually work unassisted. In some cases it may be better to wait. In others, where waiting = dying, no.

  816. Nobody can appoint themselves as mouthpieces for a deity whose very existence has never been shown. Despite centuries of desperate assertions, that work still remains. Thus, any claims made on "god's" behalf are truly selfish, not to mention lazy and cowardly. I could as easily say that the tornadoes that hit Texas and Florida just now were "god's punishment" for homophobia and anti-LGBTQ hatred. Time for humanity to grow up and understand that it is indeed humanity itself that is its highest calling. Don't let what amounts to superstition trample your highest calling.

Why would you pretend otherwise? "unjustifiable hatred for God" Can't hate something that doesn't exist, sorry. You pretend that any work has ever been accomplished on your behalf to show that your god is real. Yet despite centuries of bold, hollow assertions, proselytization, witnessing and other blathering zealotry, that work still remains for you. Don't be lazy. Self-appointed mouthpieces for figment-deities are just the worst kind of people - both morally and intellectually bankrupt.

    1
  843.  @aspiringvoiceactor645  Never said anything about "allowing." Absurdities are fair game for ridicule. Bad ideas aren't exempt from scrutiny just because they happen to be "sincerely held beliefs." "Fascist dictatorship" is what religions do so well. Only the more recent criticism of religious nonsense has resulted in theists wagging their butthurt fingers and claiming such, a failed attempt at turning the tables. "Not everyone is going to think the same as you, and the sooner you learn that the better off you'll be. " Listen to you trying to educate. When an institution such as religion is at the root of so much corruption, as is religion, it's my duty and my pleasure to address its corruption and hypocrisy. It has very little to do with "agreeing to disagree," as you imply, and much more to do with the elephant in the room that cowards are afraid to address.
    1
  844.  @aspiringvoiceactor645  "Attacking" is an interesting choice of words. You apparently are being willfully ignorant. I'm criticizing bad ideas with no basis in reality. If you see that as "attacking people," that's your confirmation basis at work. If you need to posture me as a "fascist" in order to vilify me, go ahead. You're wrong, but whatever floats your boat. "I know there's no getting through to someone like you." Incorrect. I read you loud and clear. And if a theist wants to "get through" to me when they tell me that their god loves/judges/sees me, all they need to do is prove it. But they can't, can they? They never could, could they? The truth hurts. "Your patronizing nature is a great indicator that you have a closed mind." Your responses are a great indicator that you're unable to address any talking points. Try to do so if you respond again.
    1
  845.  @aspiringvoiceactor645  "Corruption isn't solely restricted to just religion." Nor did I indicate it was. Your point? "You are being brainwashed in some way shape or form, you just choose to focus on the religious aspect of it all." Because I'm focusing on religion here is no indication that I'm "being brainwashed." Again, address my talking points. Calling b.s. out is a simple matter. When people proselytize or witness in a public forum, I find it my duty to bring attention to their superstition. Casting doubt on all magical claims, I do my part to chip away at such ignorance. "Not everything you learn in school is the truth either. I do agree with you as far as religion causing pain and turmoil, but politics has also been the root of the same evil." I find truth through through education and experience. Casting doubt on empty assertions, especially when they're religious, seems to me a civic duty, no matter if it hurts the feelings or sensibilities of the asserter. It always stirs up either a "how dare you?" or often more defensive response attempting to justify the claim.

  873. "it just turns into another "Sorry women, all your problems are because of men." " No, it doesn't turn to that at all. But many of their problems are because of men. This cannot be denied. "It always has to circle back to women and how they're the victims and they're the ones that need the pity, and they're the ones that need all the empathy and help." The way women have been historically oppressed and continue to be oppressed by men makes them an excellent litmus to "circle back" to. Women's equality directly reflects how men are doing. Not acknowledging this is only willful ignorance. And again, nobody said, "they're the ones that need all the empathy and help." That's only you putting words in his mouth so you can play victim. "You can be a guy trapped into acting a specific way, never interacted with women in any kind of negative or abusive way; and you'd STILL carry anti-woman guilt." Now this sounds ver personal. Are you telling your story? Regardless, it's often the case that cultural-behavioral indoctrination leads people to mistreat others without even knowing they're doing so. Chances are good, for instance, that if you're an employer "trapped into acting a specific way," you'll hire a less qualified man over a more qualified woman. I'm going to guess that you've not considered such a scenario.

  874. " "Their problems are because of men" is a objectively wrong statement there I denied it." I said that many of their problems are because of men. Are you attempting to change my meaning? "Your subjective view of the world isn't a infallible." Did I claim it was? What a juvenile thing to say. "Because you didn't substantiate your claim I am not going to either." You would to well to first substantiate yourself as either JTA TII or rahn 45. Did you forget to use the correct youtube account? You want me to substantiate my statement that many of women's problems are because of men? Yeah, no. You've got some reading to do. Start with the entirety of U.S. history alone. "Both men and women were oppressed by scarcity(lack of resource) and needing to survive." That's a non-sequitur and it's irrelevant in this context. "Men oppress women is arrogant statement that suggest men have ability control the world they never have and never would probably, get off your god-complex." Control the world? Are you 8? You seem to be arguing for the sake of arguing and not really because you have anything to say. Men have historically controlled women in the U.S. Women were only allowed to vote in the 1920s. "And there is empathy gap extended between genders for example in Britain most common reason for male death between 20-50 is suicide if this was the case for women there would be a massive uproar about it but in comparison it's treated like a side issue that we might come around to address." This is a can of worms that is also, strangely, irrelevant to our topic. You're posing a hypothetical scenario to deny that women have been traditionally oppressed by men. But also, are you afraid of punctuation? Entire paragraphs beg for it. "A human can be only guilty for their intentions because that's only thing a person can control." This looks lovely in writing, but is actually meaningless. "For instant cultural-behavioral indoctrination could lead to person like you to post the above comment which might cultivate negative behavior towards men thus hurting men , are you sure you are not guilty of being anti-man?" Yes, Spanky, I'm sure. You've fabricated a convenient world for yourself where nothing can be known, and therefore, nothing is true. Except what you say, of course.

  907.  @FakeAFSongLyrics  Is your sexual orientation a lifestyle? Can I "disagree" with your heterosexuality? Your logic is completely flawed. You construct sentences that beg the question. Trying to soft-pedal it as "not agreeing with a lifestyle" is your conscience's way of maintaining that you are not a homophobe. I disabuse you of that notion. The term homophobia indicates more than fear. It means dislike or prejudice against. You may not be afraid of gay people, but you have a bone to pick, and likely a dark little secret that you're not sharing. "Sin" implies an offended god, which is something for which you have zero to show. Your religion (also known as superstition or mythology) has usurped your humanity, as you wield it to justify a very personal prejudice and to absolve yourself of being humane. Humanity is your highest calling, and you missed it. The words from self-appointed mouthpieces for figment-deities, plus a shiny quarter, will still only buy you a gum ball from the supermarket dispenser. As you chew, consider how lazy and cowardly it is to lean on your superstition to feel good about your hate and ignorance.

  908.  @FakeAFSongLyrics  "I choose to be asexual so yes it is a lifestyle." Incorrect. Being asexual is not a lifestyle. No sexual orientation—including no orientation—is a lifestyle or a choice. "For any Christian to just accept homosexuality as not being sinful would be wrong." Thanks for clarifying the position of Christianity. I know there are many Christians who would disagree with you, but honestly, religion—a/k/a superstition—is not a valid context. "By not trying to show them the error of their ways, a Christian would be showing hate by not trying to save their soul from Hell." And this is how your religion has usurped not only your capacity for logic and reason, but your sense of morality. This is how religion has poisoned your mind. YOur religion permits you to call hate "love" and think you're a good person. I disabuse you of that notion. "Everyone is tempted in different ways and have different weaknesses." Your mythology leads you to call homosexuality, and sexuality in general, a "weakness." But your religion—your superstitious indoctrination—is the true weakness. It's divided you against humanity, which is your highest calling, and a calling you've apparently not heard. "Some have no homosexual temptations while others have strong urges." As probability would predict. And some people have no heterosexual temptations, while others have strong urges. You've made no point here. "Through Jesus, one can overcome all temptations however." Incorrect. Simply repeating this will not make it so. Squinting really hard may make one believe it's true, because squinting really hard allows your mind to get fuzzy. "Without God, where would your sense of ethics come from?" Without god, my sense of ethics comes from a developed faculty of empathy combined with an evolved faculty of morality. Morality and ethics are a messy conundrum. That does not mean there is nothing that cannot be known. It's clear that your god has blinded you to humanity, and has stunted your intellectual curiosity. It's also probable that your god hates all the same people you hate. How convenient. "If you don’t believe in God, why are your beliefs regarding this subject superior to mine?" Because I don't lie to myself that I know things that I cannot possibly know. I don't rely on superstition to justify my very personal opinions. You have zero to show for your god-who-hates-all-the-same-people-you-hate. The work of showing such a deity is real still remains for you, despite centuries of brash, desperate assertions to the contrary. Thus, the words from self-appointed mouthpieces for figment-deities, plus a shiny quarter, will still only buy a gum ball from the supermarket dispenser. As you chew your gum ball, consider how lazy it is to justify your own, very personal, ignorance and hatred with a fallacious appeal to a supernatural skydaddy. And not just intellectual lazy, but cowardly. Try standing on your own two feet.

  922. "I feel like you're not even trying to understand " This isn't a feeling , by the way. This is thought, and not a very accurate one.

  923.  @miairnell4535  You're right. Let's stick to the topic.

  924.  @miairnell4535  I know what imposter syndrome is. It's not a mental illness in itself and the term cannot be monopolized by those who have mental illnesses where imposter syndrome is a symptom. That's my main point. "You completely miss the main points, and jump onto the minor ones." Bullshit. The main point of the original post was, "What's being described isn't Imposter Syndrome." But it is. "everyone else is getting what we're saying." Getting what you're saying in no way means you're correct. And "everyone else" is quite an assumption, no?

  929. You're myth-addled, and it's probably not your fault, but just understand - The words from self-appointed mouthpieces for figment deities, plus 25¢, will still only buy candy from the supermarket dispenser. You have zero to show for your god, despite centuries of desperate, hollow assertions. That work still remains for you. Don't pretend it doesn't. Until such a time as you can show the world that your gay-hating figment deity is real, you'd do best to hush. Justifying ignorant hatred with superstition isn't only lazy, but truly cowardly.

  930. People whose presumptions are dashed are often confused. Case in point, Sparky. What you seem to lack is any sort of developed faculty of empathy. Were you to possess one, you'd understand that those who enjoy eating the foods you detest could as easily accuse you of being abnormal. Their "elementary knowledge" (as you call it) would ensure them that you simply have the wrong taste.

  953. "reality version of..." What are you on, Jeremiah? False equivalence of gay people with child molesters is a tired and disproved canard. Not to mention a category error and basically a non-sequitur. Your god-who-hates-the-same-people-you-hate is conveniently absent to speak for itself, and you have zero to show for its existence. Justifying your very personal homophobia with superstition is just lazy. The words from self-appointed mouth-pieces for figment-deities, plus 25¢, will still only buy a gum ball from the supermarket dispense.

  955. Also, ride-sharing would probably be better than single ownership because routine maintenance of the vehicles (which I assume would be more strictly regulated than automobiles) would seem to be best handled by a company with expert technicians on staff rather than your average Joe.

  956. And never has truth been more golden—and more compromised—than it is today. These thugs and mob leaders deserve nothing less than prison.

  957. Superstition only works when you are able to tell yourself pretty lies. Painful truths are more effective.

  958.  @Sunny-oz8hm  No, thanks - I need nobody's blessings. But if someone wants to bless me, I request them to be real, so I usually get it in writing, addressed to me personally, followed up by a dinner out. God(s) are incapable of even saying hello.

  959. You're a myth-addled fool. You cannot show the existence of your god. so why justify your very personal homophobia with superstition and mythology? It's both cowardly and lazy. You fail to answer to nature's highest calling - humanity. There's still time for you. So long as we can develop our faculties of empathy,, we still have a chance to turn our hearts to humanity :)
