Fallon Fox - Transgender MMA fighter
daz28 replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Bigger, stronger players meet smaller, weaker players in football on every single play, many times causing injury. It was designed that way. A 200 lb running back is almost always met by someone much larger and stronger. As far as MMA/boxing, they have weight classes, and you aren't forced to fight anyone you don't want to. Money is the name of the game there, and people take fights based on that and only that. Like I said if they offer to pay a women handsomely to fight a transgender, they will almost certainly take the fight. Logic, on the other hand, would dictate you should only fight someone you think you might beat. -
Winter Olympics 2022: Beijing--Boycott or Go

Good point. If you're statement on human rights abuses is we won't play bobsled and luge with you, then you aren't all that worried about human rights. -
So basically if it has a fence around it, then it's a concentration camp, regardless of what's actually taking place inside it. When the Russians took back Auschwitz, and all the Nazi's were gone, was it still a concentration camp??

If we paid her to fight again, but paid her like Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, I wonder if she'd still cry about it. This is purely a political statement. I can't believe America is going to fight over volleyball scholarships. How about work on making college affordable for everyone, then we can get rid of the stupid sports scholarships, which are designed solely to allow universities to cash in on athletics. As usual the Republicans are ignoring the REAL problem, and hiding it behind something divisive. Every sport known to man has different sized athletes, and those that don't have weight classes. Why does no one get mad that Beasley weighs 170, and benches 180, while Suh weighs 315, and benches 400? Also, why can't sports be inclusive? The old, stupid argument used to be because of the locker rooms. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, sports are just games created for fun. I found this interesting tidbit, which seems to shed some light on the "Karen effect" of why older women are unreasonable: Popular opinion may state otherwise, but our data shows that women are actually more logical than men, at least before they get older. In fact, women scored an average of 63% in our logical reasoning tests, compared with an average of 59% for men. Interestingly, these scores were almost completely reversed after the age of 55, with men scoring 64% and women coming in behind at 59%. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

Drivers and passengers complained that seat belts were uncomfortable and restrictive, but the uproar over mandatory seat belt laws was mostly ideological. One of Hollister’s colleagues in the Michigan House called the seat belt bill “a pretty good lesson in mass hysteria created by a corporate-controlled media” and warned that the government would outlaw smoking next. Another said that anyone who voted for the bill should be recalled. Does that sound familiar???/ Blaming the media is not a new idea, but it's still just as stupid. “An enormous political backlash ensued,” says Jerry Mashaw, professor emeritus at the Yale Law School and co-author of The Struggle for Auto Safety. “Congress received more letters from Americans complaining about [the interlock mechanism] than they did about Nixon’s ‘Saturday Night Massacre.’” Also sounds VERY familiar/// People really felt masks didn't work, but wore them to make Trump look bad??? C'mon man. Also, why not just tell people NOT to touch the mask, instead of insinuating it might get you infected. testing and contact tracing are VERY effective, and have saved tons of lives, which in no way "makes us look bad". What makes us look bad if having an idiot in charge. -

...or you can have a president who responds to unnecessary automobile crash fatalities by saying wear a seat belt/don't wear a seat belt I don't care. -President Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he believes some Americans are wearing masks during the coronavirus pandemic to express their disapproval of him and not as a preventive measure. -The president also said his issue with masks is that people sometimes touch the facial coverings, which increases the chance of infection. -He went on to say he thinks "testing is overrated," adding, "I created the greatest testing machine in history." -Trump said, however, that more testing in the US has led to an increase in confirmed cases which "in many ways, it makes us look bad." -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

Did we get to pre-Spanish Flu, pre-polio, pre-smallpox, pre-MMR??? Also, do you mean balance risk like wearing a seatbelt? Having airbags installed? In 1973 there were 30 commercial aircraft accidents of 19 or more fatalities. In 2017 there were 0. Looks like using data, and making changes works sometimes. -
A New York Times examination after the death of George Floyd found that while black people make up 19 percent of the Minneapolis population and 9 percent of its police, they were on the receiving end of 58 percent of the city’s police use-of-force incidents. A massive study published in May 2020 of 95 million traffic stops by 56 police agencies between 2011 and 2018 found that while black people were much more likely to be pulled over than whites, the disparity lessens at night, when police are less able to distinguish the race of the driver. The study also found that blacks were more likely to be searched after a stop, though whites were more likely to be found with illicit drugs. The darker the sky, the less pronounced the disparity between white and black motorists. The study also found that in states that had legalized marijuana, the racial disparity narrowed but was still significant. An August 2019 study published by the National Academy of Sciences based on police-shooting databases found that between 2013 and 2018, black men were about 2.5 times more likely than white men to be killed by police, and that black men have a 1-in-1,000 chance of dying at the hands of police. Black women were 1.4 more times likely to be killed than white women. Latino men were 1.3 to 1.4 times more likely to be killed than white men. Latino women were between 12 percent and 23 percent less likely to be killed than white women. A 2019 study of police stops in Cincinnati found that black motorists were 30 percent more likely to be pulled over than white motorists. Black motorists also comprised 76 percent of arrests following a traffic stop despite making up 43 percent of the city’s population. It’s worth noting, again, that multiple studies have shown that searches of white motorists are slightly more likely to turn up contraband than searches of black motorists. I could do this all day, or you could just attempt to educate yourself. it's not just this PD or that PD it's rampant and systematic all across the nation.

What kind of question is this? Why not ask me how to end all wars, and have world peace? How to feed the world hungry? I think everyone's "end game" is to get back to where we were pre-Covid. -
In 88 percent of the cases in which the department used force, it was against African Americans. In all of the 14 canine-bite incidents for which racial information was available, the person bitten was African American. In Ferguson court cases, African Americans are 68 percent less likely than others to have their cases dismissed by a municipal judge, according to the Justice review. In 2013, African Americans accounted for 92 percent of cases in which an arrest warrant was issued.

I'm assuming you haven't read any of the report on the Ferguson PD. It's a perfect example of systemic racism, basically the handbook for it. Instead of charging people, they gave them money to resign. America has a problem, and people being mad about kneeling football players isn't going to help a GD thing.

Mutant strains are why all the idiots making political statements need to stfu, and be vigilant. The longer you cry about masks, social distancing, and vaccines is more time for the virus to mutate. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. -
Does anyone really believe that big Michael Brown thought he could go full Nero from The Matrix from 35 feet away, and dodge all the bullets until he got to the cop? Not to mention his pants had fallen halfway down. So it was basically Nero in a potato sack. He was also supposedly reaching at his waistband(which wasn't even at his waist) for a gun that wasn't there. Also, the Ferguson police force was overtly racist(it's well documented), so if anyone was stoking racism, it was them. What is egregious is completely ignoring that fact. Also, wasn't it perfectly fine for Trump to make statements that completely went against everything his CIA, DOJ, and FBI had found to be 'facts', but when Warren and Harris do it, they're in the wrong? That's hypocrisy

Texas has frozen; Bring on the Green New Deal!!

This is also in the article: The Biden administration and Congress should consider financial support to utilities and customers “that may be facing a cash crunch or rate increases as a result of the spike in natural gas prices,'' Smith said. I'll bet that damn socialist Biden does it, too. -
On the bright side it's been a while since I've heard about Hillary's e-mails. This is how your boy Trump and Mnutia helped small businesses: — An Associated Press investigation has found that scores of Roman Catholic dioceses in the U.S. had more than $10 billion in cash and other readily available funds when they received at least $1.5 billion from the federal government’s small business emergency relief program. The Paycheck Protection Program was intended for employers who were badly battered by coronavirus lockdowns. Instead of suffering financially, however, many dioceses are reporting in audited financial statements that these assets ended up growing during the economic downturn. Overall, Catholic Church recipients were perhaps the paycheck program’s biggest beneficiaries. Church officials say they needed government relief to pay staff because donations from the faithful slowed when churches were ordered to close. Just curious, do you Trumpanzies ever get tired of being pwned. I'd imagine it's exhausting.

Your average Trumper's information usually comes as a picture of Nancy Pelosi with one sentence of 'common sense'.

This seems normal, not scary at all

Oh, I actually know a lot about the war which lost the same amount of Americans as this just a flu that's going to magically go away by Easter. Now if we can just work on making racism go away forever. BTW, do you think anyone deserves a cookie for righting a wrong??? The word we use to describe that is actually shame. -
Trump was limiting Biden's team access to most federal resources, because he didn't want to concede. IOW, Biden couldn't get a head start. They are Biden's remarks at the National Institute of Health just like it says.

We've learned that impeachment is pretty much useless. Even if it's a strong case, it's going to be a mostly partisan vote. That bodes well for any president who would like to do whatever he wants. They said you can't charge a sitting president with a crime, because that's what impeachment is for. I guess you add this all up it means a president has immunity to act with impunity. Pretty sad.

You mean make up a reason to delay the trial, then say you can't remove, because you delayed the trial.
