  1. I read the OP to the thread you are responding in. But yes I get your point, you really don’t like people speaking out, you’d much prefer they kept quiet, except of course if they are rightwing politicians singling out a minority group for hate.
  2. Pitting aside it’s the rightwing extremists doing all the shouting, you seem to have a problem with the first amendment.
  3. Transgender people are part of the public, citizens, members of the body politic, they are an inseparable part of public life. Rightwing hate mongering will not change that, but it will almost certainly give rise to an increase in hate crimes against transgender people. And look who’s defending the hate monger.
  4. Are any of those individuals alive? One bunch of religious extremists does not excuse the hate being propagated by another.
  5. I started cycling at 14 years old, classification school boy. Later male junior, Under 21 male, Senior Male 3rd Cat, 2nd Cat, 1st Cat, Professional male, and now Veteran male. Throughout which I frequently raced against girls and women and combinations of the above categories. Prizes were always awarded for category. It seems somebody has has forgotten how to do that. Which is odd, since due to numbers of competitors very many sports events open to girls and women would not take place if they didn’t compete alongside boys and men. Just add another category and award prizes according to category.
  6. Apply for a new UK license using your mother’s address. You are then a licensed UK driver. Then get your mum to add you to her insurance. Jobs a good ‘n’.
  7. POTUS and VPOTUS don’t run sports organizations.
  8. You are making a false equivalence. Nobody in the Left is making statements regarding eliminating a whole group of people.
  9. I’m not sure how you stick any of this on the Left Wing.
  10. I’ve never had anyone else’s sexuality rubbed in my face. Tell me, have I been missing out?
  11. Knowles has just said the quiet but out loud.
  12. Let’s keep politicians out of other people’s sexuality.
  13. You never raced against Beryl Burton did you?! On dope in sports, especially cycling, I agree with you. Here in Thailand the indicators for doping in cycling are plain to see, but there are no testing regimes in place so it’s the wild wild East and a destination for a number of pro cyclists who were banned for doping in Europe.
  14. Calm down transam, the Guardian is not gutter press. And tge ‘anti-brigade’ is a figment of your imagination.
  15. I’ve pointed you in the direction of a book you obviously haven’t read. I suggest you do so,
  16. Yep, the Guardian referencing the official history of the Falklands by Sir Lawrence Freedman, professor of war studies at King's College, University of London. Not the kind of thing you’ll read in the UK’s gutter press.
  17. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/jun/28/falklands.past
  18. AOC previously worked as a waitress, something millions of ordinary Americans have themselves done and recognize as an honest way to earn a living. AOC brings a great deal to the table, which, in addition to being an outspoken woman, is why so many on the right wing hate her.
  19. He becomes very coherent when under oath, and repeats ‘Fifth Amendment’ with perfect annunciation.
  20. I believe the self selected new name is ‘Ultra MAGA’. Identifiable by wearing two Chinese made red hats.
  21. I truly wish you were correct, but frequently see comments on this forum that contradict that generous view.
  22. The party I have planned is for when he faces Justice. The prospect of Republicans acting with dignity is something to look forward to, but I’m not holding my breath.
  23. Obviously the message on that dress caused some deeply disturbing offense.
