2022 Elections

Yeah I got so much pity for you there. It's not like your lord and savior was President despite getting 3 million less votes than one of the most despised women in America.

Glad we agree. Unfortunately, there is a growing coalition that thinks that the state should protect children from the family.

But I think it is reasonable to hold the view that government should regulate genital surgery so it doesn't happen while a person is a minor.

But how would you vote on this issue? That’s more interesting than whether or not you think the discussion is reasonable

I have been very close friends with a family that has a child (now adult) that is biologically a girl but identified as a boy. I've known the child since age 3. I have a great deal of respect for how that family has handled the situation.

One thing I hope we all can agree on is a position of compassion and understanding. The right severely struggles with this. Even if you believe transgenderism is a mental health issue, it should engender less fear and more love.

I thank thee for the "education."

To be fair to myself, which I rigorously try to be, I tried my best not to.

By the way you are not wrong that I am dealing with a small group of students who don't understand the value of doing the assigned reading. I've tried to gently explain to them that doing the reading will help them in various ways.

My wife is PhD who taught many undergrad courses (related note: this is another reason higher ed is a farce. Poorly paid grad students do all the work) & her father and sister professors. I have heard many stories of the great lengths students will go not to actually learn.

It's not an animating issue for me. The chance that a candidate's position on this issue would make a difference in my vote is very small. But I'd be willing to vote for a candidate who advocated a prohibition on such surgery until age 18.

For most of the children and families involved it is a non-issue. I think the issue of hormone therapy comes into play much more with children in their teens.

My experience has been different. The overwhelming majority of students are eager to learn. They are well-grounded and understand that their education is going to make a difference in their lives including what kind of jobs they get and how much they get paid. I repeat the word incentives very often to them. For example, I incentivize class participation in various ways and spell it out for them very clearly. They get it. But then I teach at a school of business administration. Might be a bit different at schools with a different emphasis.

that historically disgraceful speech on Thursday was fine because they know they are about to get beaten like a dead horse.

Twitter is not a business.

The support for leftist policies and politicians is a farce.

When I did the math on how much each hour spent in the classroom was costing me (especially in business school), I made an effort not to waste a minute. Unfortunately, (D) wants to remove all skin in the game and give out higher education for "free," which is only going to make the problem you cite even worse.

Holy ****, Mehmet Oz says that incest is no big deal, and that his daughters don't want to have sex with him because they don't like his smell.

I don't live in PA (neither does he) but I'd guess their residents want better than an incest-loving carpetbagger.
 
By election time very few people will be voting for fetterman. Guy is worse than Biden at being able to put together sentences and reading off a teleprompter.

Things will get worse and this regime will continue to break laws and try to stop a free and fair election from happening.

According to the diversity hires press secretary, this makes Biden an extremist since he is not with majority of Americans
 
They already conspired and stole 2020 even if you outright believe that there was absolutely no voter fraud. Zuckerberg confirmed that on Rogan.

Don't think they aren't past declaring some form of emergency to extend COVID powers that were once granted.
