Lest (conjunction) 1. For fear that
Who knows...maybe they are making it up. That sometimes happens around here...right Vhsalum? I don't really care one way or another...but seeing you call out other posters from here on out is definitely setting yourself up for responses.
A few things, my deceased FUL was a Methodist minister, as he said if you try to follow the Ten Commandments you probably won't make your life worse. And which is a bad idea? The structure of that belief system makes things better for all. The first to fight against slavery were Christians for one example.
That's called BS. For example certain people want to have children at drag shows. It's an adult event, kids do not belong, and yes they have had such things go. I'm very tolerant but that means putting up with , not embracing, praising, or favoring. I'm been involved with CSA for some time and I know how predators work.
Definitely, compare crime rights in Amish and Mennonite communities in Lancaster, Pa. vs the Lancaster Pa. inner city . Go look at the data, because in areas where there are more families intact with religious believes crime is much lower. It's like everywhere.
It's actually your job to judge day to day behavior for yourself and others as part of being a normal thinking person. The bible gives you clear rules on behavior, it is not your job to condemn people to hell, that it's God's job. But I might chose to not do business with, hire people, or associate with certain folk if I see their actions as not conducive to say a business relationship, friendship, or a employee/employer relationship.
You seem angry.Listen to him? Refute what he's saying, not the source. Why did these weirdos do this at this venue during an opening ceremony watched by people around the world, including kids. People that have a problem with children watching this are often called groomers.
Also he is right, the Olympics are a scam. It not benefitting athletes, so why go? The athletes don't benefit financially like the organizers, the local really don't benefit. It's the promoters and the media, along with sponsors.
The Olympics: The Biggest Corporatist Sports Scam of All | Mises Institute
The 2022 Olympics (i.e., the Winter Games) is now down to only two applicant nations: China and Kazakhstan. This follows the withdrawal of Norway after themises.org
The 2022 Olympics (i.e., the Winter Games) is now down to only two applicant nations: China and Kazakhstan. This follows the withdrawal of Norway after the taxpayers of Norway balked on ponying up the cash necessary to make the Olympics a playground for the world’s richest cronies and politicians.
Theoretically, the Olympics are a private organization, but in practice, it is a corporatist organization run by plutocrats whose mission in life is apparently to squeeze as much tax revenue as possible out of the residents of the countries and cities that host the Olympics. This is done by demanding the usual brand-spanking new stadiums and facilities from the host cities that later become white elephants. But the IOC also demands countless perks for itself, such as only the finest food and drink, and special driving lanes on streets and highways. (See photos of the abandoned Olympics facilities in Athens.)
Faced with a bevy of such demands in a 7,000-page dossier from the IOC, Norway chose to withdrawal. The “diva-like demands for luxury treatment” for the IOC were outlined by the Norwegian media, including:
If this were all privately financed, there’s no reason to complain, but the IOC can hardly be described as “private sector.” The Norwegian controversy highlights that fact that, according to The National Post, “the International Olympic Committee is a notoriously ridiculous organization run by grifters and hereditary aristocrats .”
- They demand to meet the king prior to the opening ceremony. Afterwards, there shall be a cocktail reception.
- Drinks shall be paid for by the Royal Palace or the local organizing committee.
- Separate lanes should be created on all roads where IOC members will travel, which are not to be used by regular people or public transportation.
- A welcome greeting from the local Olympic boss and the hotel manager should be presented in IOC members’ rooms, along with fruit and cakes of the season. (Seasonal fruit in Oslo in February is a challenge…)
- The hotel bar at their hotel should extend its hours “extra late” and the minibars must stock Coke products.
- The IOC president shall be welcomed ceremoniously on the runway when he arrives.
- The IOC members should have separate entrances and exits to and from the airport.
- During the opening and closing ceremonies a fully stocked bar shall be available. During competition days, wine and beer will do at the stadium lounge.
- IOC members shall be greeted with a smile when arriving at their hotel.
- Meeting rooms shall be kept at exactly 20 degrees Celsius at all times.
- The hot food offered in the lounges at venues should be replaced at regular intervals, as IOC members might “risk” having to eat several meals at the same lounge during the Olympics.
- “All furniture should be OL-shaped and have Olympic Appearance.“
Not surprisingly, Kazakhstan and China, those great bastions of thriving free markets, continue to compete for the chance to host the 2022 games. This, of course, only lends more credence to the assertion that the Games have become an enormous exercise in international prestige and fantasies about the Keynesian multiplier in which the central planners assume that it is much better to force the people to pay for another luge track rather than just allowing them to waste their money on food, clothing, or education.
Part of the reason that Norway has pulled out is that its government is at least somewhat answerable to the taxpayers while the governments of Kazakhstan and China are not. Norway’s withdrawal follows previous withdrawals from Sweden, Poland, and Ukraine. (Sweden now says is would have stayed in if the IOC were less bureaucratic.)
The controversy, and the fact that available host cities for the IOC continue to dwindle, has forced the IOC to say that it will “review” the way it demands perks from host cities, although it’s highly unlikely that anything the IOC does will put much of a dent in the huge bill that the IOC and its pals in government send to the taxpayers every few years. Denver, Colorado, where the voters refused to approve tax dollars for Olympics facilities, remains the only city to have ever rejected the IOC after it had already been chosen as the host city. Some other cities now appear to be catching on earlier in the process.
So your source is "trust me bro?" No sh*t crime is less in rural areas. The population isn't there and they don't regularly patrol as inner city areas.
Ah, but you make the critics point, even while floating an unwarranted politic smear. If the Algerian is intersex with a hybrid chromosome arrangement (XXY), that’s not a female pattern (XX). Alas, the event is for females, not male-chromosome-advantaged hybrids. Frenzy seemed inevitable, not shameful.
Bro, you’re the first person in this thread who called her trans. And it was not done kindly. Maybe consider bowing out here.
I did and admitted my error. I’ll even repeat it: This Algerian is not a former man and me posting that was unkind. No, I won’t stop contending that an intersex (XXY) person physically enhanced with a male chromosome shouldn’t be boxing a female. And I certainly won’t ask you to bow out of a thread. In fact, take the last word, perhaps to explain why that male chromosome is no unfair advantage. I'd stick around to be enlightened but have grass to cut.
We've never used chromosomes to separate gender for sports. If the doctor IDs you as a woman and puts it on your birth certificate, you're good to go. If you want to change that, you need to chromosome test every single athlete because these abnormalities can't always be identified based on appearance.
Not taking any side here but chromosomal testing was done for many years in the Olympics. It's a complicated story.
So a woman, born a woman, should box a man? A woman who God enhanced through no fault of her own should now fight men? Is this what you are saying?
Read it slowly. He is saying that anyone with male chromosomes shouldn't be boxing females who only have xx chromosomes. Nothing more, nothing less.
You seem to have trouble following along. She has XY chromosomes, which are male. She shouldn't be boxing XX females as it's an unfair advantage. Life sucks sometimes.
Lol. Are you dumb? Who should she box then? I have asked the same question and you can't give me a straight answer.
He already gave an answer. "She shouldn't be boxing XX females as it's an unfair advantage."
You're just as dumb as him. Should she box males or females. Do you need crayons or have mommy help you answer?
Take an entry level logic class, then rejoin the discussion.
That's cute that you stick up for your boyfriends, but bud it's that simple. There are only two genders. She was born female. Should she box males or females. I'm using your guys logic. Should she box sharks? Dogs? Kangaroos? Or the logical choice, females?
Just saying that for athletic placement purposes, intersex (XXY) is not female in my book, but hybrid. Genetic doctrine credits chromo Y with male superiority in strength. For the same reason males don’t compete against females (or do you want that, too?), intersex folk with a Y have an unfair advantage and maybe shouldn’t either. Why not compete against their own, adding trans folk? Is that not inclusive, woke, and fair enough?
I didn’t make any joke about AIDS. Trust me on this one. I’ve worked directly with people with HIV for too many years to do that.
What is Nelson putting down and on whom? I like to align myself with the professional gambler class.
American Psychiatric Association is nothing but a collection of misfits that are trying to figure out why they are so dysfunctional. They have a long history of caving in to what ever is starting to become popular. They have no real standards of what is normal and what is abnormal. Large amounts of money greatly help them to make changes. They have zilch validity.
And what part of what you said here do you use to justify treating Christianity and Christian people is a very disrespectful and hateful way?
If there is a "Y" chromozone in there anywhere, that person is a male and not a female. The "Y" is the determining factor. End of debate.
