More Democrats fear the party’s image isn’t just damaged – it’s broken

[DaisyDay]

Not wanting *biological males use the ladies restroom is fear mongering? I think not.

If actual ladies are fine with it, as most of us are, why should you care so very much? Why is there not similar concern over transmen using the men's room? Wrong genitals are wrong genitals, even if the toilet cubicles are private and no one else sees? Really, it's just urinating.

And no, I will never accept so called "trans women" as women, from my perspective, they're indeed men and have zero business using the ladies restrooms.

Yeah, they have the same business as the others do: relieving themselves in private cubicles. But handwashing is public!!

I'm happy Trump finally put an end to it.

I don't applaud needless cruelty.

Was Trump correct when he stated that children were getting sex change operations at their schools? That seems exactly like fearmongering to me.

Most ladies are fine with it? Says who?

Regardless, the women who aren't comfortable with it have a right to say they don't want men- from their perspective- in their private spaces.

I think transwomen are more common than transmen which is why there is more outrage.

Yes, Trump said something odd. He has said many odd things. I never once claimed he was perfect.

And, in my opinion, it wasn't cruelty. Not wanting minors to do permanent damage to their bodies isn't cruelty. I don't care what adults choose to do. Their life, their choice.

Yeah. We could be cleaning up radiation from dirty bombs in our cities.

Maybe we only "diminished" terrorism because we didn't do enough.

Poverty, disease, despair are breeding grounds for terrorists. And China has a big presence in Africa as well.

In a conflict, who would Africa stand by? China or the country that cut them off and left them for dead?

100K eggs stolen from central Pa. supplier​

Waffle House is placing a surcharge on every egg it sells​

The Georgia-based chain is adding a 50-cent charge per egg because of the “nationwide rise in cost of eggs,” according to signs posted at its restaurants. An aggressive strain of avian flu is hurting supply and causing prices to rise — with no relief in sight.

No surprises here.

Bird flu isn’t Trumps fault.

Why not? It was Biden's when he was in office.

I never said it was Biden’s fault. Maybe you are mistaking me with someone else, sir?

I would never mistake you for President Trump.

 

[RileyG]

I would never mistake you for President Trump.

What are you taking about? Of course I’m not Trump? I’m so confused?

What does that mean? It sounds like you are saying that Christian values means anti-minority.

 

[RileyG]

What does that mean?

It’s a personal attack. He’s obviously poisoning the well. Which is against the forums rules.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

Aid is diplomacy.

Yes but...

 

[BCP1928]

I don't accept moral relativism either. The entire "you cannot force your morality onto me" is total nonsense. I'm surprised people are shocked by that.

Well said.

Alas, both sides are trying it.

 

[RileyG]

Alas, both sides are trying it.

Yup. I don’t disagree at all.

 

[BCP1928]

What does that mean? It sounds like you are saying that Christian values means anti-minority.

No, I don't think it means that. Christian values are cultural, not racial. If there is a disproportionate effect on minorities it is merely contingent.

 

[RileyG]

No, I don't think it means that. Christian values are cultural, not racial. If there is a disproportionate effect on minorities it is merely contingent.

Christian values aren’t opposed to minorities.

Contingent on what?

 

[BCP1928]

Contingent on what?

On history. If a clash of values takes between two largely disparate racial groups then it will appear to be racism when it is not. Christians are opposed to Islam by and large, but it is not because Muslims are frequently of darker skin but because they are Muslims.

Christians believe Islam is a false religion. Most (not all) are aware Islam is not a race.

Exactly. That's why prejudice against people who "look Arab" is merely contingent.
