    bud...it's called good parenting.  if you raise your kids with morals and values, and you lead by example...they'll turn out fine.  monitoring content and having open conversations with your children is what's going to shape them.  

     

    we've already encounters aspects of this already.  we spend a lot of time in the thousand islands, in the same small town where the locals are recognizable.  one of them is the very tall man, in his early to mid 70s, who has decided to live as a woman. over time this guy has leaned into it more and more, and on occasion it's jarring.  bright red lipstick, completely done up, wearing half shirts, etc.  of course my kids had questions, so we explained it to them the best we could.  now, they just brush it off.  i'll get the elbow pump from my son when we see him, but he doesn't bother us, and we don't bother him.  this doesn't have to be hard.

     

    I agree with you completely about the good parents, this is not an issue with me and my kids. My question to you is why do I need to affirm their delusion? if they get mad at being "misgendered" who is wrong?

    i apprecaite it, but i'm not sure what would happen.  would he watch and episode, quietly walk up stairs to his room, only to return in full on drag?

    It definitely can affect them in unexpected ways. One episode is unlikely to cause any real damage but when it is constant, children take it in and internalize it. Of they are told repeatedly that it is brave to be transgender they will be much more likely to become it.

    I support the "4-0 is all that matters" type takes because we've literally done it the other way before.  There were at least two seasons recently where we had a dominant September (but were only 3-1 instead of 4-0 after four games) and statistically, we looked like the best team ever according to EPA / play or something like that.  (There were threads on here that shouldn't be tough to find).

     

    But, as we should know by now, dominating September doesn't matter and didn't matter in those seasons.  By the time the playoffs came around, we didn't play that well.

     

    For this season, I want to see us healthy and playing our best ball in January, after having rested because of the playoff bye / 1 seed.  All that matters at this point is that we're 4-0 and in pole position for the bye / 1-seed.

    I was about to say the same thing. The issue on the playoffs is we have shown all of our tricks and our defense gets beat despite being dominant all year. This defense will get better and we will learn a lot about them when we see KC again. Also we have won the past 3 games by at least 10 points so it is not a dab defense simply not dominant

    I formed my opinion of you long before this. 

     

    So a Dem hired him, does that mean ale dems feel this way? Or did she just not do her homework before she hired, or just not care. I know I wouldn't want someone with a gun change in charge of my school, but I'm not a Dem. Did you poll all the dems? Or was this just your Magic teacher powers? 

     

    What kind of bull ***** politics do you push on your students? 

    As I said facts trigger you. Where did the rest of this stuff come from if you aren't triggered?

    Trigger? I asked you a question. You guys are always right. Republicians are the greatest of all time. Trump and Maga know something the rest of us don't. 

    The part about being an idiot was just stating a fact. 

    quite the response- I know a fact that is widely publicized that you were unaware of and I am the idiot. Truly feels like knowing facts is a detriment to your opinion of people.

    I read his now. I am not a lay judge and was not talking about lay judges.

     

    Lay judges are somewhat comparable to a US jury. I would very much like to get rid of them. However they normally have very little influence on the outcome of a case (there are exceptions at district court level but those verdicts regularly gets overturned in the court of appeal where the lay judges are fewer than the legally trained judges)

     

    A bit difficult to explain. But also very different system compared to the US.

    I think I would prefer your system at this point since a jury is such a crap shoot and often comes down to stupid things.

    Well, living in "war ravaged Portland" was just hell today!  I somehow managed to ride my bike three miles to my local climbing gym through sunlit tree lined neighborhoods and well managed city parks.  I then climbed distractedly, wondering how I would ever get home in this war torn city?  Miraculously I made it home but my day of terror was really only beginning because I had to take my 13 year old out today to another city park to play in their youth soccer game.  What are we thinking here?  Youth soccer?  In this battle scarred place... what if one of the kids steps on a landmine.  Yet, again, miraculously, all of the kids survived the game.  Later, after a trip to the grocery store, fearing for my life whole time, I took the family out to eat.  Amazing BBQ at a food cart pod.  100s of people eating food and enjoying great beer, outside.  I guess everyone must have thought like me, "may as well enjoy our last meal."  I was amazed there was even food... did an international aid organization provide rations?  Somehow, someway, we ate and, at least for now, I appear to have survived the day in "war ravaged Portland."  

     

    But, who knows what tomorrow will bring?  Heaven forbid there be a peaceful protest somewhere.  I may need to retreat to the basement bunker.  Thank goodness the President is taking action, otherwise, whatever would we do here in "war ravaged Portland."  

     

    God willing, I will keep you all appraised on our situation here.

     

    Reporting live from "war ravaged Portland."

    Wow it is almost as if some areas are worse than others. but which area do you live in? I am going there next summer and would prefer the safer area

    Who said it was for all ages?  You’re on a streak. Keep that fallacy coming. 

    This comment is impressive in its ignorance. It was arguing a point without having the slightest clue about the laws meaning, wording, or it's impact. Truly to believe you "won" the argument is based entirely in pretending your beliefs are real when no articles from the last two years support you.

    Who said anything about the killing fields or brokeback mountain?  You posted the definition of straw man but didn’t comprehend it. I’m not sure I understand your awkward prose either. 
     

    But here’s a list of banned classics. Steinbeck and Huxley stand out.

    You are so easily mislead. Catch 22 is one of the books my daughter is allowed to read for  her English class project so this list is for the younger kids. You don't have the list seperated by age range but you believe it is for all ages. Seriously your commitment to ignorance is hilarious.
