    People that are afraid about something making them gay or whatever really don't understand how nature works, we are animals after all and many of this traits happen in nature, problem is we have been told forever that we are this special group because we are the only ones that have a "soul" so we are not animals.


    I love me some nature documentaries and every time somebody talks about homosexuality or any of the things that make some people afraid saying this is not natural I show them this video.

      Interesting video I had no idea that even existed.
      I've not no issue with homosexuals though, I just don't accept exposing young kids to Trans lifestyles. They say Gender is a social construct......backed by science, and we do live in a society which needs certain social constructs.

        Yeah I don't believe that you can turn gay or transsexual by reading a book though, most of this things are genetics, remember we are animals.


        Now what a book like that does to a kid is open their mind to learn to accept other kids that are gay, transsexual or whatever they want to be.

          Funny that this showed up on my twitter after posting that last post.

          Books like those prevent parents like this lady.

            Soooo.... let's assume Trump gets indicted on the charges in NY. It's still hard to imagine to that ultimately leading to actual time behind bars.... BUT.... the other things floating around, if it's decided to indict him, would be more likely to involve time with a conviction.
            So, how exactly does that work with the secret service? Do they get to spend shifts behind bars protecting Trump? Does Trump get home detention?? Does the govt create a special 'prison' just for Trump 'in a secret location', to help protect him and better utilize the secret service?


            I realize this is putting the cart WAY before the horse, but I've not heard anyone actually talk about how that would work...

            I wish the GOP would've had the ballz to do the right thing (IMO) and carry thru the impeachment process with a 'guilty' and end this foolishness. Especially, and at least the 2nd one where there's little actual doubt except with the apologists.

            Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

              IS there an answer to school shootings and gun violence we're willing to move toward or is it simply what it is in the modern day USA and something that must be accepted?

              I saw one news article talking about what happened in Nashville. It was a pure news report IIRC. They posted photos from the scene of the kids being led away from the school, and one photo showed a little girl, face to the window of her bus, crying.
              Someone in the comments said "You're exploiting those kids!"

              I guess, without the photos of the survivors, none of this would've happened...

                  Uncharted waters...
                  There's no guarantee that the mugshot will be released so something a lot of people are looking forward to, might not happen. Heh... Trump supporters want it for a symbol to rally around. Trump detractors want it as a trophy.

                        This is a tad apples to oranges comparison from what determines sex in mammals. Sex chromosomes are named that for a reason and to my knowledge all mammals have them.

                        True human hermaphrodites have a much lower fertility rate. In truth hormones determine a lot of male and female traits which is why exogenous hormones alter male and female biology. Think male tits on a 80s body builder. Also I don't believe there is any known genetic component to being gay or trans.

                        That being said there are many instances of gay behavior in mammals. One of my go to is the big horn sheep. Most males are bisexual and most of their time are with other males and females are only able to be fertile for 3 days per year.

                            Spurs coach Gregg Popovich made an unprompted speech lobbying for gun control legislation in America and criticizing "cowardly legislators who are selfish."

                                In all of this information, is there any logical reason Trump would fight to keep these documents and not just hand them over from the start? WHY did he want these documents, even at the risk of arrest?
