No trouble at all. Glad we can agree that “no prosecution” is wrong.

You think Biden and his family have more character than Trump? Good Lord! :roll_eyes:

If you could provide me a direct quote where I said that specific thing about Biden, I’ll be sure and work on that.

You have obviously missed the point.

1698

If it were wrong, they would be prosecuting the cases we were discussing.

1699

Not at all. But you apparently have. The point is, social peer pressure almost certainly plays a significant roll in the apparent increase in the number of young people who think (but use the euphemism “identify”) they are gay and/or trans.

“No prosecution” was wrong. It’s ok.

1701

You are right, it’s wrong to not prosecute. Glad we finally found common ground,

It can play a role, but not a significant one.

Do you personally know any of these kids or interacted with them?
i have on several occasions, As my daughter has several friends that fit into many of the categories that y’all are freaking out about. They are fine, good kids Of course they live in Silicon Valley, a very accepting community, so they can be who they are with little fear of being called freaks and its.

Is it true that there is “no prosecution” of shoplifting in California when it’s under $950 aka a felony?

Yes or no

That is not borne out in real life. Peer pressure in teens, particularly of girls, is perhaps the single most significant influence on their behavior and professed beliefs. Many teens would rather die (figuratively) than go against the opinions of their peers when it comes to social trends.

And yes … I raised two daughters and endured the whims of their teenage social life.

Sarcasm meter. Calibrate.

I agree. It’s why I said, “That’s a lot to get beyond to dig down to the political positions and initiatives he espouses, that so many voters really want.” People who recognize that he’s essentially the only one with the chutzpah to promote the politics they are looking for, have to look beyond a whole lot of weeds to see the actual garden in there.

Helpful hint: You do the same to others. I have pointed out examples to you recently.

So, stealing a person’s livelihood is okay because it is cost effective for the State?

They know some of the kids can be influenced and the younger they are the more they can be influenced.

This why they are trying to influence them as early as kindergarten and 1st grade imo.

Drag queen shows and some teachers trying to poison their young minds.

Now the critprogs are pissed off that regular folks are fighting back with laws against such things as drag queen shows for minors. :roll_eyes:

There sure is a lot of foot stamping going on. Wouldn’t have to be that way if they would just stay out of children’s lives and quit demonizing anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

At least all the lefty media can agree, the real victims here are the trans community.

The state is the divine idea as it exists on earth. The state will be perfected. …the individual, whose supreme duty is to be a member of the state.
