This is just stupid nonsense. I feel like we are going back in time.
Back in time?! Our brains are practically de-evolving!
And this is stupid as fuck…political correctness at it's finest.
If you're treating a trans or intersex pregnant person you could just call him/her an 'expectant parent', no use to make a stupid law.
Nice one pitting the feminists against the trans community...you politically correct assholes.
Come on man, play fair. I don't see Nancy Pelosi pulling out her boxing gloves. I get that you don't agree but that statement isn't true. The majority of the protests were completely peaceful and lawful. I don't agree with the violent protests that have been occurring, that's wrong, but suggesting that all liberals refuse to do anything other than get violent is far from stretching the truth.
Milo Yiannopoulos is a troll. He has said it many times. He's not necessarily saying what he says because he believes it, he says it because he knows it riles people up. Personally, when I watch the guy, I just laugh at him. Some of things that come out his mouth are so ridiculous that I can't take him seriously. A migrant homosexual who dates African American men is a major voice in the Alt Right?
Wow, get trolled harder…
Problem is, the so called liberals just stomped over that free speech Americans say to love so much.
Milos Yiannopulos may be a troll, but he has the right to speak and be listened by those who are interested in what he has to say. The Berkeley students practically stopped him from even uttering a word, they prevented him from speaking.
All I see is that Universities in the USA are not a place to engage into discussion or pit ideas against each other, since the students have such a thin skin that they won't even allow expressions of thought that clash with theirs. The so called 'Safe Spaces' at their best.
Where is the growth if you don't face different ideas? How this little crybabies snowflakes survive in the real world?
Elaborating on what Domosuke said regarding how straight men distance themselves from gay ones, I reckon there's also lots of societal and peer pressure.
When I came out in junior high, I became a pariah. Only had one friend left to hang around with, until he told me we couldn't be friends anymore because he didn't want to be labeled as the friend of the 'gay boy' (hence being labeled gay too)
Man…I cried so much that day...
OMG Ellis….
But luckily this has shaped you for the better. With all the political correctness nowadays, kids are so coddled that they can't develop a rough skin.
As for myself, I've suffered discrimination because I'm white in Mexico and some 'native looking Latinos' can't even phatom that white latinos do exist. Or when they do, we are target of their so called collective memory of the Spanish abuse. Since in their minds, whites are the racist ones so they insulting and attacking us is not racism...
First slur I had thrown at me was when I was 5 and was returning home from school. A group of assholes rode their car next to us and shouted: ¡Pinche Gachupin! Gachupin is a slur refering to Spanish people.
I have been robbed thrice because the burglars assume I'm loaded, just for being white.
My supposed friends turned on me when I came out in Junior High.
My father had hit me...and my mother just throws the worst of insults at me for being gaywhen she gets drunk (expects me to take care of her...boy, she is so wrong...)
Oh sorry...obviously this thread refers to racial minorities in the USA. Or it will be as soon as 'someone' notices it.
But it's nothing in comparison to the excitement of Colton Haynes in the first season.
Really? Haynes' facial features seemed too angular to me that I thought he looked weird or had plastic surgery. Now though, his features seem to have softened and he doesn't look creepy.
As long as Luke Perry is interpreting someone his age….
Now, some shit and giggles....courtesy of Robot Chicken.
(PS: Archie/Reggie OTP)
Ah you poor guys. First the rest of the world is terrorizing you and now you even have mafia. When will it stop? :crazy2:
Maybe you should just call yourself non-straight. First straight people will probably be happy to have straight word mentioned and then here you have whatever is not straight. Now that I have more insights in what you have to go through, I just can't belive people can be that crazy. Did I live in a bubble all my life? Here we fight what will be said in a marriage certificate after you get married. Gays wanted it to be just partner, straight to be husband and wife. Why couldn't just be husband and husband or husband and wife? Noone could think of that at the time. My dad was so agains word partner, but with me and mum next to him, he wouldn't dare to vote as he wanted, specially when he found out his nephew is also gay so I managed to get 3 votes on gay behalf. We still lost, but that was first time I voted after over 20 years
To be honest, the term 'Partner' is more general and hence serves at designing both members of the union, no matter their sexes, they're going to be 'partners for life' after all (we hope).
But yeah you're right…if I ever marry another, we will be both men, hence we will be husband and husband...but whatever. At least your government will save money by just having one type of draft for any marriage. ;D
This could be a rumor and is unsubstantiated as far as I know.
Then, why the eff you posted it?!
I'm all about sharing news with others, but you must cherry pick them. Find well funded ones.
Buzzfeed…pft... Journalism is decaying heavily nowadays...
Every stat you look at shows that women use more health care than men, hence why women paid more.
Every stat shows that women, while having more accidents, they are at lower speed, thus costing less, hence they pay less.
Every stat shows that women live longer, hence they pay less for life insurance.
Obama-care has men subsidizing women's health care, but men don't get subsided by women for the other forms of insurance. It's the feminist version of gender equality.
Heck, the BBC fired a woman doctor because she said that men need to stop going to the doctor so more women can be seen, even though she admitted that women were already the vast majority of GP patients.
But your premium isn't based on how many services you are using. The risk adjustment process isn't taking into account the risk of each individual person. Medical underwriting was eliminated under ObamaCare.
African Americans account for a higher percentage of heart disease and diabetes cases. Should we charge them more?
Ok…I've read a little regarding Obamacare and I must say this: in order to null underwriting, ALL users are being charged the same amount. Problem is, as raphjd said, there are people who use more health care, so others are charged more in order to compensate.
Now, I don't see a problem with that, society is made upon accepting rights and obligations.
The problem comes when certain groups, in this specific case, women (3rd wave feminists), advocate for an unequal treatment. Here again, have another example: some women are just fine that men are charged more in order to cover their (the females') healthcare, but will jump at the notion of a female being charged more in order to cover a male's healthcare.
raphjd mentioned and extreme case: a female doctor was saying that men, who now have to pay more, should stop coming to the doctor in order so that more females, get more medical attention...when they already use it the most.
Same applies with race. If you are going to subsidize another group's healthcare, they must be willing to do the same for another group or for you, if the situation where you need more healthcare arises.
There are black people, who think white people should be sacrificed for their sake. They have no qualms regarding white people paying more, but if you ask them to pay more healthcare for another race (and when you tell them 'another race' they are thinking 'white people'), they label it as racist and raise their fists.
You can't have one sole group giving out to others. You can't have specific groups receiving special treatments but refusing to give something away in return, or to cooperate when the need arises.
Dude…
While you have my gratitude for posting part of the article instead of just the link (as 'certain someone' does) I think you went too far.
Anyway...
I must say one thing, as a foreigner who lives in another country, the victory of Trump shows that not all Americans were living the 'American Dream'...there were sectors of the population that the Democrats left abandoned and tired of being cast aside. That explains the key states that allowed Trump to win. So I find ironic that some youths are now crying out loud that they will fight to ensure everyone lives the American Dream.
Imperial System?!
Aaaargh! Ah! Haaaaaaaaalp meeeee!
Um…I'm a little overweight, so I need to workout more. Sad thing is I was in a gym but left, and I haven't joined a new one.
And man....diet is bonkers, but is like 80% or more of the Diet+Exercise= Health equation...
send carrot sticks, pronto!
everyone wants whatever the demagogue is peddling.
Then they fail to deliver the impossible.
If only you knew about Mexican politicians…you'd be surprised as to how long that tactic has been used and it keeps succeeding everytime.
That's why I don't vote...or if I really cared, I would go to vote, and then make my ballot null (leaving it blank seems worse, ripe for the cheaters)
Alright…
So, from this article we can conclude that for some people, the term 'gay' now also involves certain societal constructs or perceived ways of thinking and behaviour. Not just the same-sex attraction.
Yet, there are some people who don't conform to this new identity construct and hence, are labeled as 'not gay' by the flock of drones and SJWs.
Honestly, considering the personal and group agendas, the religions, the races...the political leanings...the only thing we can still bond over is that we like dick.
Maybe since 'gay' has become as you describe it 'a loaded term', we might need to rethink it or abandon it altogether.
Applications take money and risk. If you're denied, you lose the money and you're deported if you're in the country. You don't get a refund.
For example….
Thanks for the thoroughly explanation! :3
Well, it sure looks like a big hassle, but is worth it in my opinion. In USA you can do more with 10 dollars than here with 10 pesos, healthcare is relatively better… And yes, there are people willing to take the risk and walk that hazardous path.
Giving sanctuary to illegals is like a slap in the face to those who make the effort to migrate legally.
You have to concede that, this is the U.S presidential election that garnered the most interest from the outside world. So maybe it comes from there.
Not to mention that Trump thrives in media, with either good or bad publicity. He might be the U.S President right now, but this extra media attention will surely benefit his (former-but-now-run-by-his-sons) company's businesses around the world.
After all, you gotta keep your brand ringing inside people's heads.
Long hair for dudes was 'in' during the 80's, which are regarded as the best (yet most unfashionable) decade of every century.
Honestly, as long as you keep your mane clean and groomed (and you don't mind the extra care it entails), go for it.
SJWs are no more divisive or ridiculous than conservative republicans in the US. Nothing like jumping on a bandwagon.
Well, you're right on that one, SJWs can be considered the Mirror-image of conservative republicans.
And BTW, there's no such thing as the gay mafia. Grow up.
Not even the Silk Mafia?! :cry2:
Remember Trump is pure bravado, he might make incendiary comments concerning LGBT people to stay in the limelight or keep the Christian-Religious members of the Conservative party and their supporters happy. Thing is that you distinguish words from actions and don't lose your cool.
So White House Events? I feel those things are for people who wanna feature in social magazines covers (kinda works that way in Mexico), but honestly IF I were to live in the USA, I would be more concerned with the Economy.
Trump might need to congratiate with the Hard Right groups so he might not invite gay families, or invite fewer gay families than Obama did. This is just PR.
koliko6 has a point though. How you want gay marriages to succeed if they must face difficulties like the cost of living and insecurity? Most fights within marriage have to do with money (besides cheating)
EDIT: By the way, anyone knows how this White House Event Invitation's System works?
I always thought being Liberal or Conservative was more related to political and economic views. I can admit that gay, black and latino republicans exists, so why this Jim Downs dude cannot?
This SJW thing is only separating people even further.
Feminism is bullshit, and women are tedious to be around.
Why do any gay guys fall for the propaganda that we need to align ourselves with shrill man-hating harpies?
Amongst the man-haters there are women who fight for true equality. The hard part is differenciating them from the others.
That's why I believe Egalitarism would be a better term.
I sometimes wonder how the man-haters actually see us, since we aren't interested in women.
