They want us to be parents.No more Mom & Dad.Just a parent.Its not fair to the 2%.so we must bend over backwards to be loving compassionate people.

Will you sail on this ship?

Be specific Bubba. Up here if a person wants to identify as “ no gender” they are free to do so. My grandson is male, granddaughter is female , you get it.

Yeah life is tuff enough for everyday people. So try putting yourself in someone else's shoes. I don't really give a shit how people self identify. "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" that's what matters. Be happy ignore the haters.

Yeah, be specific here Bubba (or Bubbette if you prefer) who is “they” that no longer want us to be Mom and Dad or is that your interpretation?

I’m with Scott, I could care less if someone declares themselves male, female, non-gender specific, trans...I just don’t care.

Canadian actress Ellen Ellen Page came out a few years ago. Recently Ellen chose to be called Elliot, and gender neutral.
How does this affect me? It doesn’t, live your life to the fullest and so will I.

I don’t know the American take but up north we respect individual freedoms. To me, if you stand up to pee you’re a guy and if you sit down you’re a chick. Why the fear? Stay true to who you are and pay less attention to those who aren’t like you.
As Glenn said, “ Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness”.
Unless they are different than me? No, it doesn’t work that way.

If they stop putting the crap in TV commercials It might be easier to ignore.Really dont want to explain to children to young to understand. Why is America exposing children to sexuality at such a young age? let them be kids.Let them decide what they are when they reach maturity.We are planting ideas in there minds that maybe we should not.Just a thought.I dont hate anyone.Im a lover

So what are the new pc terms for words starting with "man"? Do we now replace them with "they" or "it"? so bizarre...

. Manhole
. Manure
. Manicure
. Manufacture
. Manipulate
. Manage
. Manuver
. MANy more
So sad, just like the push to erase and rewrite our history.

Why don’t one of you grow a 1200 pound AG, then identify it as a tomato and smash the world record. Then when people question you, say your “tomato” is offended and that your tomato demands all other gardeners become species neutral in the garden. In gardening school, words like Atlantic Giant won’t be permitted so you don’t offend the tomato that was biologically germinated as an Atlantic Giant.

Also- I second Joe’s recommendation of Jordan Peterson’s talks on language and cultural Marxism. Live and let live is the way to go, forcing people to adhere to one worldview or another is wrong, regardless of which worldview it is.

Truckinpunkin, do you have young kids in public schools?

Here's a good introduction to Peterson's thoughts. There are longer discussions where the conversation really gets to breathe, which is necessary for the topic

Smallmouth, I don't have kids in school, but many of my friends my age do and don't seem to be bothered by schools being more open minded about family dynamics than they used to be.

The way I see the issue is that there are two camps of vociferous, reactionary individuals who are appalled by the lifestyles of others. I think both camps are wrong and probably the majority of people are caught somewhere in the middle between these extremes.

Here's a good full-length type of conversation with Peterson that happened shortly after the controversy at University of Toronto.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G59zsjM2UI&t=8s

He has a lot of material up about topics like evolutionary biology, psychology, and some very good ~1hr lectures on the eminent authors from the existentialist tradition.

Bubbas views should be tolerated too. We dont need to get overly intolerant in any particular direction. The problem is when we are tolerant in only one narrow direction.

Its all about the kids,Let them have a shot at normalcy.Let them be innocent at age 6, 7 ,8 years old. By exposing them to all this sexual adult content. Are we not confusing them ? I would take my children out of public schools. The schools will mold your children's mind for you.The next thing you know You have a little Pelosi in your house. No haters here.Just a dinosaur who cares about natural living as nature intended.A lot of you dont care you claim?

Gritty, I do agree with that last statement of yours.
Not agree with but tolerate other points of view as long as they do not spill over into or cause hate.

What is normal or natural?

Smallmouth

I don't care if someone identifies as a Buffalo, and I don't care who gets married (one way I lean democrat). I just don't want to have to alter my vocabulary, and not use words referring to men and women because it offends less than 1%. I definitely don't want males identifying as females in women's sports. It happens, and the males dominate. There needs to be boundaries... like men in girls bathrooms.

@ Smallmouth Will not argue against any part of what you just posted.

Our new government will decide what is normal and natural. Don’t even question it.

When in 1920 women were finally allowed to vote, many many people were outraged.

Now its considered normal and any other position would be considered outrageous.

When black men where allowed to vote in 1870 many many people were outraged.

In 2020 black men voting is like breathing air, its normal and not in question.

Asian American immigrants, who were long ineligible for naturalized citizenship on account of race, and only won the vote starting in 1943.

That to is now the norm.

Point its, some believes and positions sometimes held for decades or centuries can become antiquated and even unacceptable. This can be brought about by a single event or long struggle by people devoting their life to a cause. And sometimes by changes in society that accumulate over the years and eventually warrant change.

It can be something as consequential as voting rights, and it can also be something like the Washington Red skins changing their name. Trivial to some, of great importance to others.

Change is never easy, its always hard. But ultimately its inevitable. The people in 1870, 1920 and 1943 all had to get used to a new reality and their were probably many that had reservations or were outright opposed to those changes, nevertheless a century later they are considered the norm.

No point in fighting change.

Agree no point in fighting change, but what do you do when adults are fighting with reality. If my child wants to cross dress it's just natural curiosity. Suppose a child dresses up as a fireman or batman? Are we gonna tell that kid it's their unalienable right to be batman and no one can stand in their way? If adults want to be weird that's fine bit for kids these things should be treated as what they are: childish detachments from reality that are only unhealthy IF THEY ARE ENCPURAGED. There is no special bathroom for batman. And teachers dont change the kids pronouns so "it" can be a bat 24/7. Detachments from reality should occur during playtime but end at the start of math class.

1/6/2021 1:28:12 PM

Little Ketchup

Grittyville, WA

It feels good to encourage our kids... but when playtime (detachment from reality) becomes permanent... this has the same effect as child's brain as any other form of child abuse. Teaching kids that a permanent detachment from reality is possible (they will be taught this for sure) might be the same as teaching the child that a more healthy "reality" doesnt exist and it never will. It's a slippery slope straight downwards, from encouraging kids to enshrining hell upon them.

Sorry but politics cant even agree with biology.Scary when they rule on more abstract topics like taxes,term limits,election process etc etc etc
