I blame James Joyce.

I'm always fond of the "other places are worse, so we must be wonderful" argument. It's a clear indication that my interlocutor is hyper-defensive and not real bright. You know where was the very best place to be Jewish in all of Europe in the 1920s? White, Christian Germany.

I'll have one more go at explaining this, Hoof. Let's forget about "wokeness" and think for a second. Non-whites, LGBTQ+ people, and women often fear right-wing social and legal actions for a reason. Not long ago, these groups were officially, legally, mandatorily discriminated against. Gays...

Wonder if it'll be as bad as the Bush Recession. Which was, of course, Biden's fault.

You're the #9 GDP on the planet. 1-8 have much larger populations.

Definitely in the Americas.

"There goes the neighborhood."

The inspiration for the popular children’s picture book “Everywhere Babies” came to author Susan Meyers more than 25 years ago, after the birth of her first grandchild. It was around Christmas, she recalls, and she kept seeing Nativity scenes everywhere — baby Jesus embraced by his doting...

Do you even understand that the phrasing "not normal" has been the basis for discriminatory and brutal actions against people for millennia? "Uncommon" or "in a small number of cases" or "in the minority" are accurate statements. "Not normal" has often been used in conjunction with "and...

No, this was your "first consultation free."

OK, so you are a member of a group that suffers discrimination. Therefore, it is impossible for you to participate in discrimination against other groups. Good to know.

Well, that's one way to get rid of your opponent/predecessor. Take note, President Biden.

Yep, same excuse Black racists use.

Poor you. You're so oppressed.

Yeah. Language both expresses and affects thoughts and attitudes. Surprise! And you and your buddy basically were saying "Can't we just all get along?" I would suggest that empirical evidence definitively says "No, we can't."

Well, you've seen right here that lots of people do care. Enough to discriminate, illegalize, and murder. That's why it's an issue. The sexually variant didn't all suddenly get together at a meeting of the Great Big Icky-Sex Conspiraceeee! and decide to impose themselves on the world, seeking...
