The Stupid Thread 2 (Part 1)

What in the hell are you talking about?

You like to post these little clever quips, but that one in particular is about as clever as saying “the children are our future!”

Doesn’t add anything to the conversation one way or the other, but thanks for sharing.

Because you didn’t post a “clever little quip” 
that didn’t add anything and was already stated decades ago.

Calling communism a religion is hardly new, original or provocative.

I may be confused because you posted a tweet and a meme and I’m not sure which you are calling retarded.

And sometimes you seem like a thoughtful poster, and sometimes you post like a pissy 13 year old. I’ve got better things to do than go around and around with you, have a good day

If it keeps you from posting your freshly created views on life, my mission is complete. In the meantime I suggest you read some Raymond Aron.

Actually. this was the concept in Libya under the enlightened rule of Colonel Qaddafi. As you may have guessed, it didn’t work out so well.

On a positive note, thanks to this policy the French-Arab author Riad Sattouf is now producing excellent works of literature by matter-of-factly chronicling his childhood traumas from growimg up in Qaddafi’s Libya:

Now you’re name dropping to seem clever? It must feel great to win the internet!

My belief is that it paved the way for the legitimization of other aberrant behavior. I do not think persons who believe they are other than their biologically proven gender would be given credence to that obvious psychosis as one example.

Do you believe all beliefs have equal validity?

On a political level I believe each state has the right to choose whether or not to legalize same- sex marriage.

I am currently convinced males pretending to be females would not be allowed, for instance, to compete in women only sports had same-sex marriage not been legalized. This current “gender confusion” lunacy is but the fruit of that tree.

The things you’re talking about happened before gay marriage was legalized.

I don’t think so at all. It seems to me like you are really stretching trying to connect transgender issues with gay marriage.

I’m sure there were instances that occurred prior but it didn’t become mainstream until after the legalization. Men were not getting women’s scholarships or being allowed to compete in women’s sports prior to the push to legalize same-sex marriage.

Still think the connection seems to be something you just want to believe. Do you think these issues someone is saying “well gay marriage is legal.?” I don’t see what transgender issues has to do with gay marriage. It’s not brought up when those issues are discussed.

If someone is talking about biological gender issues in competition gay marriage is not brought up. One simply has nothing to do with the other.

You’ve had transgender competition issues since the mid 70’s. Long long long before gay marriage. And it’s still not something happening on any type of widespread scale.

I don’t want to go in circles but to me you’re doing some real mental gymnastics here.

That’s actually a really big question. Like it spans the time of human cognition and the development of rudimentary philosophy.

And it still hasn’t been answered in any objective manner.

I’d say on an individual basis, all beliefs are valid if the person holding them actually believes them, or lives them.

Whether or not they are commonly held or accepted, the result of some psychological problem or anything else is a whole different argument.

Ok, got it. I read the previous post as gay marriage should not have been legalized as it would open the floodgates to the other things you have stated in you posts.

My point was that, even if this was the case, it is irrelevant and should not factor into the decision making process. Painting all of them under the same brush and then penalizing one sub group for the actions(or potential actions) of another is essentially the same thought process as, for example, asking for slavery reparations from the present generation of Whites in the US.

How about the government has no business saying who is or isn’t married? It adds no value to anything. They used tax breaks for married couples as a way to try and coerce men to stay around and raise their kids. The government has no business encouraging or discouraging social behaviours with incentives. They can’t even pass a budget or handle the things they should do.

To those of you who will bring up estate law, it’s always been legal to leave your assets to anyone
 married or not.

Watch that word objective when discussing philosophy. It is a loaded word.
