@lololulu19 said in More Oscars fallout from that slap:

@buonaroti ...even supposedly civilized black people can't control their emotions.
How many times have black people's icons let them down? Will Smith, OJ Simpson, Tiger Woods, Barack Obama, Michael Jackson, Prince.

The most infantile minds could draw a similar, meaningless list for any ethnic group -- oh, and for gay men, as well. Enough with your sad and unpleasant racial messaging.

@lololulu19 said in Risk of AIDS in sex with women vs men:

I was having a discussion with someone about the rationale for engaging in gay sex.
I pointed out that with gay sex, you are not risking having an unplanned, unwanted baby, or trip to an abortion clinic.

The person I was chatting with responded with "Well, with gay sex you are risking AIDS". At first, I thought to myself that he had a point.. but then.. I realized.. his point was nonsense. You get AIDS by having sex with women too. In fact, it seems the way many if not most people got AIDS was not from sex, but by sharing dirty needles.

My question is.. Is sex with women any less of a risk of AIDS than sex with men?

And.. let's not forget that women are like incubators for a plethora of STDs.

Not sure what that comment above (about teachers) was about, but it's incorrect to believe that the incidence of HIV infection when having sex with an untreated HIV+ partner is that much greater in men than with women.

The "abundance" of HIV in the gay community in "white" countries (large parts of Europe, North America, & Australia) does not extend itself to other parts of the world: AIDS is mostly heterosexual in Africa, as well as most of Asia and Latin America. This is in large part because the "gay" communities in those cultures are less "out" and so are considerably less "promiscuous"...

That said, transmission from an infected woman to an uninfected man, or from an infected bottom man to an uninfected top is considerably less likely (tho far from "hard")...

The idea that "straight" people get HIV primarily from IV drug use is a homophobic trope designed to further demonize those infected with HIV... and it is factually incorrect.

@bi4smooth

But that's not what the lawsuit was about. The court didn't rule on society changing the definition, but the Scottish government changing the definition.

@bi4smooth I saw this and comments by her family saying she may have been robbed. So sad 😞

You misunderstood my grounds for appeal.

I have no illusions that the Fed judiciary (still plump with Trump nominees) will fail to continue the activist intervention that led to the creation of Gay Rights under Federal Court mandate long before any actual laws were passed (much as I agreed with the politics of those rulings, they were "judicial overreach" IMHO).

No, the basis of the appeals in this case will be the vagueness of the law.

There is a principle under US Law that says, for example, you can't write a law that says "Don't do bad thing, or you'll go to jail." and "let the courts figure it out" - which is basically what the real "guts" of this new law attempts to do... No, laws have to be specific!

nice and hot

As correctly pointed out by the commentator in the link above, all you need to do is keep repeating your lie with the support of a vocal minority and the acquiescence of everyone else on your side of the political divide. Keep doing that and you won't really suffer any punishment in Cancel Culture. Smollett maintaining his innocence despite overwhelming evidence and investigation is no different than Trump maintaining he won the election despite overwhelming evidence and investigation.

@geobear40

Not that I agree with the Russian failure to recognize (or legalize) same-sex unions, but they do have a point they are not members of the EU, and are not subject to their courts!

The European Court of Human Rights and the EU are two very different organisations, even when they have the word European in it. In the US many different American organisations have the word American in it without they are believed to be only one organisation.

Youtube Video

It was in Oak Park Elementary School library until it was removed.

Maybe you should use DuckDuckGo since they don't hide stuff from us as Google admits to doing.

This isn't the video I saw, but it's on topic.

no, I live 200 kilometers from São Paulo

@saulosilva

I have to give the Taliban credit, though, for being against bacha bazi (men raping boys).

Sadly, the western world is now importing these scumbag pedos as "refugees".

The UK had over 50 years of Pakistani rape gangs, now they are adding Afghani rape gangs. I guess that's "gender equality" in the guise of diversity.

@dvt

Is that like how Americans "know" that Biden is unifying the country? Biden is a leftist populist.

Godwin's Law in action, by you. Thanks for that.

Other than his stance on LGBT issues (which I don't like), what is so evil about him?

Do you hate him because he's anti-EU?

Healthcare is shit all over because of C-19. I broke my hand on 2 Oct 2020 and I got pathetic treatment at the emergency room and ever since. I am currently in the queue for an MRI for my hand and it's hoped that it will be before Christmas. Then I have to wait to see the specialist after then to proceed in getting my hand fixed. On and On and On and On and On and On.......................... This is the medical services I don't get for my sky-high taxes to fund the UK NHS. We are told to stay away from the NHS unless it's an emergency. People aren't getting the proper care they need, like cancer treatments and kidney dialysis.

Also, with the illegal flood of economic migrants into the EU and UK, of course, things are falling apart. You can thank Merkel and the EU for that OR you can hate Orban for not pandering to the illegals and the EU.

Biden is causing hyperinflation in the US. He cares more for illegals than he does for Americans. I bet you love him.

I do wonder if you hate him because he's a conservative and not a liberal. I mean, would you have so much hatred for a liberal who was destroying your country as you do a conservative? I'm willing to bet that this is the case.

@raphjd What a heeeeeero...

Imagine one of Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry" movies.
What do you suppose Harry Callahan would have done with a guy high on fentanyl, threatening a clerk, passing counterfeit money, refusing to get into the police car, who had pointed a gun at the very pregnant belly of a woman and demanding cash? He would have blown him away.

But now, they erect monuments and statues and pass legislation making George Floyd the patron saint of black people. That outraged someone so much that a lightning bolt hit one of the George Floyd monuments - destroying it.

@andergarcia

That's a much better response than the one that happened in the UK a few/several years ago. It was mostly ignored because a gang of muslims killed a gay man.

@zeitgeist Good for her! She really had a rough go post drag race

@lololulu19

Yeah, lots of people have been on the notes.

Of course, the Queen is always on the notes as well.
