Of course you know about the religious right...

See the data I posted. You should fear black people if you are black. If you are white, you are nine times as likely to be killed by a white person as by a black person. Think.

Then it’s not safe to be around either

Not perfectly. You are much less safe around other Americans than you would be around the citizens of most other nations. However, in the United States, about one person in 2,500 is a victim of homicide. Engaging in petty crime or shady behavior generally accounts for the great majority of those.

You would be much, much more rational to refuse to travel by automobile than than to avoid other people as a safety measure. You're about 27 times more likely to die in an auto accident than be murdered. Casinos get rich on people who think like you do.

My reply was tongue in cheek. I don’t fear black or white people or driving

My wife will tell you I'm not really a go-to for fashion information.

I had no idea you were a scientist.

If a girl wants to play with trucks or play baseball we shouldn't care. Let her be. Don't sit there and b "oh my gosh, she's a boy! Let:s tell her she's really a boy."

No she's not. She's a girl who like trucks and baseball. So what? It's her personality. Let like what she wants.

How very liberal of you. What if she wants to wear boys clothes? What if she has subjective feelings about herself that are more typical of a boy than a girl? What do you tell your fellow Christians who want to stamp out all gender nonconformity, whatever its cause? What do you do if she doesn't put it all aside when she grows up to settle down and be somebody's properly feminine wife.?

See, gender nonconformity only becomes clinical if it results in psychological stress. Where do you suppose that stress is coming from?

I'm just pointing out that all humans have the same rights. I don't have to like them or even understand them, in order to realize this.

They're not lacking in having the same rights. They're seeking extra privileges. A indoctrinate children B change standard vocabulary (newspeak).

Why not? You already favor indoctrinating children your way and are imposing language requirements of your own.

Too many people are like that for real, these days. When I think people might misunderstand, I use my WFTH-I (Warning For The Humor-Impaired). However, it is a fact that if you're white, you are much more likely to be killed by a white person than by a black person. It's almost as likely for a black person to be killed by a black person.

Not every lefty is highly intelligent.
Might seem like it... but no.

 

[BCP1928]

Which is?

That their behavior must align with your preconceived notion of what to expect from people with their reproductive organs.

Which are?

That you refuse to comply with the organizational style manual.

Who do they think they are? Fundmentalists?

Most seem to fancy themselves as scientists.

Never met a scientist who thought she was entitled to special privileges.

In other words, they were the ones who made the decision to employ you. Paul's admonition was to work. Having to be employed first adds something to it not in the Bible.

Work is work. Whether you are employed by someone else or self employed or a self sustaining farmer. The Bible doesn't differentiate between being employed by someone else or self employed. It just says we need to work. Don't try to make it say something it doesn't.

 

[rjs330]

And other times when you had to ask for a favor in order to work. In your own business if you weren't working it was up to you. You had freedom to work or not so if you didn't work it was your fault. An employee works or not at the pleasure of his employer.

Irrelevant.

Please stop wasting my time. And yours, truth be told.

That's up to you.

Well, if believing that helps you to oppose welfare, I guess that's what you will have to believe. Good luck.

Who said they oppose welfare?

What if she wants to wear boys clothes?

What exactly are boys clothes?

What if she has subjective feelings about herself that are more typical of a boy than a girl?

What might those be?

What do you tell your fellow Christians who want to stamp out all gender nonconformity, whatever its cause?

The same thing I told you.

What do you do if she doesn't put it all aside when she grows up to settle down and be somebody's properly feminine wife.?

What exactly does that look like?

See, gender nonconformity only becomes clinical if it results in psychological stress. Where do you suppose that stress is coming from?

What do mean gender non-conformity? What exactly is gender conformity? I mean we all suffer psychological stress at different times in our lives. Especially as teenagers. Having too many freckles or too many zits can bring in psychological stress. How about being too fat, too short, too tall, to skinny or having flaming red hair or rats that stick out a little too much. As teen there are soo many things that can cause psychological stress. It doesn't mean suddenly you are the opposite sex. And kids are famous for trying to "find themselves", stand out in a crowd, be their own person while at the same time trying to fit in.

 

[BCP1928]

What exactly are boys clothes?

Trousers instead of a skirt. Girls aren't allowed to wear them in many schools.

What might those be?

You don't know that men and women are emotionally different?

The same thing I told you.

Right. Why add more to the mix? Why make them worry about whether they are masculine enough or feminine enough?

It doesn't mean suddenly you are the opposite sex.

You keep saying things like that which have no connection to the topic at hand. Of course it doesn't mean that.

Oh? What schools?

That's not an answer to the question.

What exactly is masculine enough it feminine enough?

You keep saying things like that which have no connection to the topic at hand. Of course it doesn't mean that.

Of course it does. That's what a trans person wants to become. The opposite sex. Or did you think that that girl's who wanted to wear trousers were automatically trans?
