Because I am suffocated in a white guilt shithole every day, I don't need it online.

I know no one rash – or arrogant – enough to claim they know the answer to the nature vs. nurture question, nor the proportional effect each has on a child’s sexual development. But the thought that I might influence my child towards a lifestyle choice guaranteed to bring them pain and unhappiness – however remote that chance may be – is horrifying to me. That’s why, quite simply, I wouldn’t bring a child up in a gay household and, if by some chance I were to end up having a child with a woman, I would seek to insulate that child from inappropriate situations and influences until they were old enough to understand the principles, ramifications and, yes, the mechanics surrounding such an enormous decision.I’d describe myself as 90-95% gay. I would never have chosen to be this way. No one would choose it. You’d have to be mad. Yet there’s a view, promulgated by the mostly socially liberal media, that almost any lifestyle choice is alright these days. It chimes with, and to some degree emerges from, that vacuous milieu of bien pensant chat show psychology that says everything’s OK, as long as you’re OK with it. “Live your best life,” says Oprah Winfrey. “It’s OK, if it’s OK for you.”But everything isn’t OK. And, ceteris paribus, no one would choose to have a gay child rather than a straight one. It would be like wishing that they were born disabled – not just because homosexuality is aberrant, but because that child will suffer unnecessarily. Again, you’d have to be mad. Or evil.To some extent, it’s a pragmatic thing. As a parent, you want your child to have the best possible start in life, so, given the choice, you’d want it to be white, male, straight, clever and gorgeous… right?Is being homosexual “wrong”? Something somewhere inside of me says Yes.
lol at how he cleaned up for his prime time Fox News appearance tonight:
Uber CEO dropped out of Trumps little tech council.Maybe Elon Musk will get his fat awkward head out of his ass and dump Trump too
I'll give Elon the benefit of the doubt, his company is actually a positive for the world.Unlike uber undermining current taxi drivers, breaking laws, driving uninsured etc. uber tesla
Would all you folks here vote for a leftist Trump?That is, a tyrant who would rule by EO, confuse through misinformation, and relentlessly target his enemies?But in a left wing fashion?IE: 20% tax on carbon, 90 day ban on guns while "we figure things out," cut federal funding for states that limit abortions etc etc?

Oh hell yeah.
“We have some of the bankers here. There’s nobody better to tell me about Dodd-Frank than Jamie, so you’re going to tell me about it,” Trump said, referring to Jamie Dimon, the JPMorgan Chase CEO and leader of Trump's business roundtable.“We expect to be cutting a lot out of Dodd-Frank, because frankly I have so many people, friends of mine, that have nice businesses and they can’t borrow money,” he continued. “They just can’t get any money because the banks just won’t let them borrow because of the rules and regulations in Dodd-Frank. So we'll be talking about that in terms of the banking industry.”
pray 4 bowling green pls
"Thank you for easing these burdensome regulations, Mr. Trump."

Governor Rick Scott of Florida, appears to be following Donald Trump’s example of dictating policy by Twitter, with potentially far-reaching impacts for the future of US-Cuba relations.In three simple tweets, Scott threatened to choke state funding from any Florida port that worked with Cuba. Almost immediately, two of them, Port Everglades and the Port of Palm Beach, cancelled the signing of memorandums of understanding with visiting Cuban trade officials.
The seaport in Mobile and Cuba's National Port Authority pledged to find ways to expand the business they do with each other — the kind of deal that three ports in Florida had worked toward until Gov. Rick Scott last week scuttled them with a threat to pull their funding.
RE: Bowling Green massacreWhat if the Bowling Green Massacre was a planned false flag attack and Kelly got her dates mixed up?

A White House draft executive order proposing to restrict foreign worker visas and target immigrants who get federal aid also recommends that the U.S. Census ask about immigration status, a change that experts said could have far-reaching consequences not only on immigrants but also on local economies and political redistricting.Annual questionnaires from the Census Bureau already ask whether respondents are citizens. But probing into the status of those who are not would be new, and Census experts say it would have a detrimental effect on future counts.“It will drive the response rate down enormously,” said Kenneth Prewitt, a former director of the Census Bureau who is now a professor of public affairs at Columbia University. Immigrants here illegally are unlikely to answer questions about their status, he said, adding that the resulting undercount could have chilling effects.“If you drive those people out of the Census, the consequence is that they’re not in it,” he said. “It’s a step toward not counting the people you don’t want to count. And that goes very far in redrawing legislative boundaries.”
Fucking with the census is a big part of what brought down the Conservative Party in Canada in 2015.

The main thing that brought the conservatives down was that they had been in power for forever and loss of good will is accumulative.
Quote from: octopushover on February 03, 2017, 04:45:59 PMFucking with the census is a big part of what brought down the Conservative Party in Canada in 2015.I would disagree. Census fuckery pissed off the people who wouldn't have voted for the Conservatives anyway. It was a small factor. But one of the dozens of little things the Conservatives did that turned moderate voters (like moi) against them, yes.I think it's mostly the Conservatives going ham on the anti-muslim culture war stuff + Mulcair tripping over the issue in Quebec + Trudeau running a near-picture-perfect campaign for the marathon that it was. (Yes, yanks, an 11-week election campaign is a marathon for us. Stop laughing)

(although maybe Trudeau just got lucky in that regard when compared to Hillary)
Quote from: Syph on February 03, 2017, 10:17:55 PM(although maybe Trudeau just got lucky in that regard when compared to Hillary)What is amazing to me is how gawdamned disciplined Trudeau was for those 11 weeks. Especially as compared to his time as Liberal leader before the writ dropped, and as PM since then.He is a fucking gaffe machine if you leave him to his own devices. Whether it's admiring China's "basic dictatorship" before the election, or his vacationing with family friend Aga Khan, cash-for-access hypocrisy, eulogising Uncle Fidel after, he does fuck up, it does make his near-flawless campaign performance all the more remarkable.
Bernie Sanders needs to shut the fuck up about the DNC Chair race. Fuck that carpetbagging old shithead. Destroying our 2016 coalition and creating a million internet Optimuses wasn't enough, now he has to throw Perez under the bus?
