Define important. Would your quality of life be deeply impacted by losing either one of these?Is it a compromise when you did not have to give up something important?
Is it a victory when you give up something important?
A good compromise is one where neither side can declare victory.
I disagree. The best compromise is where both parties can claim a victory.
It will get implemented because the people who want it implemented now dominate the power structure in the Republican Party. The far right is really close to being able to get everything they want. They are closer to that accomplishment than MODERATE democrats, which make up the vast majority of the Democratic Party. The government is moving far right and away from the majority of what the American people want. IMHO.
Important = non-negotiablesDefine important. Would your quality of life be deeply impacted by losing either one of these?
You didn't answer my question.Important = non-negotiables
Not sure I understand. How does the mechanics of a good compromise correlate to political ideology?And there we have the difference between conservative and liberal in a nutshell.
Huh? You asked for a definition of “important.”You didn't answer my question.
The question was "Would your quality of life be deeply impacted by losing either one of these?"Huh? You asked for a definition of “important.”
I gave it to you in the simplest of terms.
Important = non-negotiables
Now do AirbusJust curious, are you aware of the number of Boeing produced aircraft movements each day globally?
I am?We both want limits on personal activities. We just differ on what those activities are.
Only true anarchists want 0 limits on everything.
You are accusing me of the same thing you are guilty of.
Well that depends. Are we dealing in the world of hypotheticals or just in general?The question was "Would your quality of life be deeply impacted by losing either one of these?"
Why?Now do Airbus
And how many fewer fatal crashes due to Quality Systems shortcuts...
Project 2025. Keep up. Not to mention filibuster in Senate. Same reason Democrats couldn’t pass voting laws. It’s like you guys flush basic politics whenever you need to push a narrative. We have to teach you the same things over and over.How much did the far right implement from Jan 20, 2017 to Jan 19, 2019 when they also had majorities?
I think you are panicking princess. Go for a walk, read a book, or enshrine the freedom of pron you want to keep and have a mighty fap to whatever makes you squirt.
No. You’re in favor of banning freedoms you don’t like just like we keep telling you. I think there’s one thing I want to get rid of…assault rifles that are designed to KILL vast majority of humans, so maybe we don’t have to do active shooter drills with little kids. Huge difference in those and everything else you want to “limit”.I don’t disagree one bit and I personally am in favor of limits and restrictions where necessary. We have lots of limits and restrictions on the books for alcohol, drugs, gambling, guns, etc but I think the pron industry needs to catch up. That’s all.
Well, that would be a way to control population growth. 😉Disabled, killed. gays or lesbians killed, someone of an ethnicity not white, killed. Political enemies killed.
Read a GOD DAMN HISTORY BOOK!!. Or just read Trump and his minion's own words.
Bro, chill.Project 2025. Keep up. Not to mention filibuster in Senate. Same reason Democrats couldn’t pass voting laws. It’s like you guys flush basic politics whenever you need to push a narrative. We have to teach you the same things over and over.
These aren’t humans you’re talking about…to the evangelical right.Trump keeps throwing out mass deportations of 20 million people. At most there might be 11 million undocumented people in the US, which is a lot, but could be addressed more efficiently if Congress had acted.
What are the details of the mass deportations? Who is going to round up the illegals? Call up the national guard? Who is going to pay for the program? Where will they go? Their original country, or just bus them to the Mexican border and hope they are welcomed with open arms? What about a child born in the US to an illegal? Deport the mom and do what with the kid? What about those waiting for legal proceedings? Will you use camps for them? You want to see inflation, wait until this program goes into effect. Especially in a state like Iowa where the GQP fear porns us over illegals, but you just need to walk into a dairy barn in NE Iowa and find undocumented workers. Who is replacing that labor all across the country where undocumented workers provide labor? The GQP has made no plans to increase legal immigration or boost guest worker programs.
Projection. Stop gaslighting. None of us are falling for Republican BS. I see how they vote and what they announce that they want. Project 2025 tells us. You don’t care because you agree with it. Again, it’s anti-American.Bro, chill.
I know Trump is the boogey-man to you but that stuff ain’t going to happen. Stop falling for the panic-porn.
Lest we forget we have already survived 4 years of Trump featuring 2 years of a red Congress…..and Democracy lives on.
Go for a walk, read a book, have a beer.
It’s gonna be OK. If your happiness depends on who is in the White House then I feel bad for you.
Ok, maybe try a laxative???Projection. Stop gaslighting. None of us are falling for Republican BS. I see how they vote and what they announce that they want. Project 2025 tells us. You don’t care because you agree with it. Again, it’s anti-American.
That show was hilarious until the dogcrap last season. They tried it in the US and it just didn’t work here…probably because people like dragon were upset. We barely got NYPD Blue because of these same freedoms fighters.
Projection. Clearly you’re the uptight one…trying to take things away you don’t like.Ok, maybe try a laxative???
Fine, just go for the full enema. You’ll thank me later!Projection. Clearly you’re the uptight one…trying to take things away you don’t like.
Darn…I never encountered any horny female teachers back in my school days. 😜Hate to tell you this, but @BrianNole777 is right and has supplied ample evidence to show abuse happens by public school staff, at higher rates. Unfortunately, it can happen anywhere adults and children mix which is everywhere.
Hell, we have “Another horny teacher” thread updates almost every other day! Do you deny this?
You serious with the crap, Republicans?
"Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should
be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed
as registered sex offenders."
None, actually.What health benefits does pornography offer US citizens?
No depends. If you had no porn, handguns, or semi-automatic weapons would your daily life be impacted in any significant way?Well that depends. Are we dealing in the world of hypotheticals or just in general?
This is where I would be willing to go a level or two deeper with this specific issue.
If I were trying to write a piece of legislation I would focus heavily on the distribution of pornography.
Much like how we treat illegal narcotics, there are stiffer penalties for the distributor than the consumer.
Producing pornographic content is a 1st amendment issue. This would be tough to go after. Consuming it is not (IMHO).
Distribution however, I think is the legislative sweet-spot where states can & should enact stricter regulation when voters approve.
I personally think producers have a responsibility to ensure actors are of age and consent is well documented. Safeguards to protect against victims of human trafficking are necessary. But, since this is a 1st amendment issue, would be very tough to get something done. So I think regulating the distributors is the path of least resistance.
Me personally? Nope. But it’s not up to just me.No depends. If you had no porn, handguns, or semi-automatic weapons would your daily life be impacted in any significant way?
Im equating 1st and second amendment rights. Exactly like I said. Handguns and semiautomatics are only allowed in the hands of law enforcement and the military. Hunters, skeet shooters and target practice guys still have as many options as they need available to them. How is anyone except the sMe personally? Nope. But it’s not up to just me.
In your scenario, are you attempting to equate pron with all handguns and semi-automatics? Are single shot rifles exempt in this case? Shotguns OK?
I suppose if I am a hunter the case could be made that a material impact would be the result.
This is like saying all Democrats are with Antifa. Gimme a break. Not once has Trump or Vance supported or talked about Project 2025.You serious with the crap, Republicans?
"Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should

Works for me. It will never pass but I personally could settle for it. Just gotta convince another 100 million or so Americans and you got a deal.Im equating 1st and second amendment rights.

I think if we could keep the lobbyists and shills out of the discussion it would pass in a heartbeat. I'm certain there are already well over 100 million that agree in principle. We could call it the bill to save lives and souls. A national referendum to kick it off.Works for me. It will never pass but I personally could settle for it.

I thought the author of it spoke at the convention this week?This is like saying all Democrats are with Antifa. Gimme a break. Not once has Trump or Vance supported or talked about Project 2025.
Actually, guns actually kill families. A gun in the home significantly increases the chances that someone in that home will be killed with that gun.Pron kills families. May not get headlines, but you know that it causes moral decay. You are sensible enough to know that strong families make for a strong country.
No; you tried to claim Boeing was safe. I asked you to compare to their primary competitor.No, Hoosier did.
