I wanted to be wolverine when I was 10. Should my parents have given me surgeries to implant metal in my bones to cater to my fantasy?
travisg:The Democrats want to confiscate guns.
The Democrats want to confiscate cars.
The Democrats want to confiscate plastic straws.Why would anyone wants to vote for these morons?
All three are false. But you should look into why there is a concern about our waste and what it does to other life on the planet. Including plastic straws.
I mean, if you care about other life on the planet.
All three are either being done already or being talked about by Democrats holding national office.
Freedom is so last century. They know much more what is good for us than we do.
Whatās the old saying? Those who trade freedom for security get neither?
party-free: travisg:The Democrats want to confiscate guns.
Who banned bump stocks?
Who banned assault rifles in his state as governor?
What were the parties of the former presidents in the early 90s who signed a letter calling for assault weapons bans?
What have Democrats done to confiscate your guns when they held the presidency and both houses of congress?
travisg:The Democrats want to confiscate cars.
Huh?
travisg:The Democrats want to confiscate plastic straws.
Well no, they just want to do a little better job of taking care of the earth by not being so wasteful. THE HORROR
Pretty asinine broadbrushing thread.
Both parties want to change the way people behave. If I were to engage in broad brushing, I would propose that Republicans want to confiscate womenās uteruses but we donāt engage in broad brushing here.
No but we would like for the murder of the unborn to stop.
H_Arendt: Paul_Thomson:ā¦ And many of them want to confiscate you childrenās natural gender and redirect them towards choosing a different one.
You will not be able to cite a single person in the Democratic Party or among LGBTQ activists who support the position you have invented here.
Allowing people to become their gender as they experience is enabling freedom rather than forcing those people to conform to the way you or others wish the world to be.
Why run against a fantasy version fo the Democrats by inventing all sorts of scary things that the Democrats allegedly intend? Are you concerned that running against actual Democratic proposals is a losing position?

You would find the experiences transgender children have quite different and more intense than your playful fantasies. Accepting the freedom of others to be different than ourselves can be distressing.
I have a titanium spork and straw in my edc bag. Fits right between the tourniquet and knives. Itās 2019. You donāt need a plastic sippy cup, you donāt need a plastic straw, be an adult.

The underlying point is here is that all political parties wish to change behavior in various ways for reasons that they each find to b entirely justified.

Acceptance and being the accomplices to permanent life choices of minors are two different things.

First of all, letās do away with the silly thread premise that Democrats (or anyone else) are trying to impose gender choices on children.
That said, the families that I have seen where children have explored changing gender ā and I have three in mind ā have treated the matter very seriously. It has clearly been difficult for the children and for their parents. Among the children, I have seen one suicide attempt and among the parents, great confusion, guilt and uncertainty.
However, I think this matter is best left to the families and those whom they trust as advisors ā doctors, therapists, priests (let that word stand for all religions), trusted friendsā¦ rather than a matter for distant third parties or the government.
Honestly, I do believe that some children are making these choices at too early an age so I donāt see everything that is happening as welcome, but I do see the challenges these children and their parents are confronting and that leads me to want to leave families to those they trust to navigate this complex situation.
you didnāt build thatā¦
all your base are belong to us

I can semi respect that. But I go a bit more. I donāt think it should be allowed for minors, even with parental consent. We donāt let children do many life altering things at a young age, and itās not like this is something that can be changed back later.
After a person is an adult, I have no issue with it. Though it needs to be treated as an elective surgery. No more of this crap about state prisons having to provide it for inmates.
Weedhopper:You forgot free healthcare for anyone in the world who can cross the border illegally.
Are you saying Democrats want to confiscate the border?
Erase.

I am not proposing that children decide such matters by themselvesā¦ but who would prohibit an action that a family agrees to take ā in consultation with their minister and medical professionals? I donāt think government should play that sort of role in family decisions.
On the level of principles what I see is that both liberals and conservatives are fine with big government; they just want the government to meddle in different things.
Should parents be allowed to let their kids drink at very early ages? Do drugs at whatever age the child wants? What about if a parent wants to buy toys with led based paint?
All are things that affect the child future development, and they are all things that are considered child endangerment because they have future repercussions on a developing child. Yet now folks want to allows hormone therapies to chemically alter the development of the child.
The anti-vaccine crowd is another such example but the sides are reversed on that one for many.

It will be interesting to see what happens when the medical aspects of transitioning are rhetorically compared to conversion therapy. It will be fun watching the clash of generalizations.
WOW, thatās such BOVINE EXCREMENT. A person does not have a choice when it comes to sexual orientation. You are what you are, PERIOD.
I know a few gay men who lead miserable lives because they were not true to themselves. One of those men was my former youth pastor back in the 60ās-70ās. Another was my friendās husband. I worked with the third; he was married to a woman, but conflicted. (now heās happily married to the love of his life)
Hell, weāve got a gay man running for President who has more going for him in the way of intelligence, military service, and faith than the current jackass who resides in the White House.
We want to confiscate trumpās sharpies.
