Lock him up! 😡

I hope this attack didn't come from the USA, and more than that, I hope if it did, that our government was not involved in it.

The aspect I like about your Profile photo is the US flag is flying upsidedown, which indicates a disaster. And I do agree Trump is a disaster for the USA...

I was trying to "Wake" you with my fortunate history.

I'm sure past changes in society to such "norms" as racism and misogyny have been viewed much as you describe above. There are a lot more than just "a few bi-sexual leftist liberals fresh from university with a worthless degree in liberal studies" that are "woke." I, for example, am a straight, heterosexual, White male who graduated from university over fifty years ago with a BA, BS-CSE, and MBA., and I have been "woke" and a far-leftist liberal for at least fifty years.

Good idea! I hope my home country, the USA, will soon consider something like this. Of course, "soon" will have to be sometime after the next four years.

The dog was a Siberian Husky, but the article doesn't go into detail about what type of chickens the dog killed. Is the type of dog who killed the chickens more important than the type of chickens he killed? I approve of the man's punishment for killing the Siberian Husky, but if he hadn't done that, I would also approve of punishing the Siberian Husky for killing (what kind of?) chickens.

The defendant, who identifies as transgender, was lying in wait in the Deadwater Valley nature area, the court heard. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98yjp5nzglo @Bkk Brian: The reason I was asking this is the defendant is identified as "transgender," but as usual, what kind of transgender is not specified. I believe "transgender" refers to both those who are born male but identify as female (which is what most people assume "transgender" means, but it also can refer to those who are born female but identify as male. In my remarks above, I say the photo of this person looks to me like he was born a male. If that's so, and he's "transgender," that means he identifies as a woman. And that begs the question of why he would want to rape a young teenage girl? Wouldn't he then be more attracted to a young teenage boy? And if she was born a female and is "transgender," how could she "rape" a young teenage girl. I guess there are ways, but that's not what I assumed after reading the article. My point is actually that if someone is identified as "transgender," it should be more specific as to what type of transgender they are - boy to girl or girl boy. Also, I don't know how you would label them. A "male transgender" could be a male who identifies as a female or a female who identifies as a male. That's the same problem with "female transgender." I'd recommend "male transgender" or "transgender man" be the label for someone born male who identifies with being a female.

Hopefully not. "Woke" is the only way forward for all societies and cultures. Anything else is either halting social progress or, like the USA under Trump, going backwards. Maga = Make America (the USA, not all of the Americas) Grevious Again. 🥹

I've written and published a series of four novellas about this very topic—the reverse engineering of alien technology. The series is called The Gliese Project, and the four books are Helios, Kratos, Aoelus, and Demeter. They are all available at many online bookstores. If you're interested in this topic, I hope you'll take a look at them.

It's only going to get worse. 🥹 Buckle up!

Despicable! 😠

I hope! I hope! I hope! But I haven't seen anything like this starting to happen yet... 🥹

I'm very sorry to read this. Of course, I'm always very sorry to hear of anyone who supports Trump. 🥹

He doesn't look like it, and this incident doesn't sound like anything to do with a transgender male.

Yes Musk should be charged with a crime for this. It's an obvious case of blatant pollution. If he threw the car into the ocean, he would be charged, right? Well, why not if he throws it into space? Lock him up! 😡

"Opportunities" for transsexual people are suggested because, in the past, they have been excluded from having any "opportunities." I don't know how increasing the "opportunities" for transsexual, non-White, female, etc., people enrich the "lefties." I would think doing that would enrich society, which, in turn, enriches everyone.

Yes, I agree that you and I see the world very differently. As would be expected, I believe my perception is based on reality, and yours reflects prejudices you have acquired. I also hope you have a nice day and that such an experience will soften your views on "woke" ideas like DEI...

Neither AA nor DEI mandate nor suggest anyone hire UNQUALIFIED people. All people hired should meet the minimum requirements. What both AA and DEI do is try to change the practice of making race (White) or gender (male) a basic qualification for hiring to make race or gender just another consideration to take into account among QUALIFIED applicants. Lending money to UNQUALIFIED applicants is not a good idea. But classifying non-Whites and females as UNQUALIFIED because of their race or gender is racist or sexist. This practice must be eliminated. My eyes and brain are open to facts and are not mislead by KL.

DEO and AA were attempts to repair the damage that historical racist (White supremacists) and sexist (femmephobia) have done in regards to hiring. AA certainly did not fail. It resulted in a more "woke" attitude by employers and the hiring of more non-Whites and females. DEI has done the same thing but has not been as effective as AA because, unlike AA, DEI was not a law and was not accompanied by penalties. Neither DEI nor AA are/were racist or sexist. They both do/did not suggest that anyone was inferior or superior because of race or gender. They only ask (DEI) or mandated (AA) an employer to hire in a manner that would assure their workforce's race and gender ratios were similar to the population. Labels such as DEI and AA may not lead to complete equality, but racist or sexist labels certainly do lead to inequality.

DEI, like Affirmative Action before it, is NOT racist or sexist. Read the definitions of those terms below. DEI is an attempt to correct the wrongs perpetrated by the former and continuing racist and sexist hiring practices. A RACIST is "someone who believes that their race makes them better, more intelligent, more moral, etc., than people of other races and who does or says unfair or harmful things as a result." - Online Cambridge Dictionary A SEXIST is someone who suggests "...that the members of one sex are less able, intelligent, etc. than the members of the other sex, or referring to that sex's bodies, behaviour, or feelings in a negative way." - Online Cambridge Dictionary Neither DEI nor Affirmative Action was based on beliefs that anyone was INFERIOR because of their race or gender.

I propose a ceasefire in Ukraine if Russia agrees to withdraw all troops and claims on all land in Ukraine and return all of Crimea to Ukraine, and agrees to fund the rebuilding of all damaged property.

“There are no trans kids. No child is ‘born in the wrong body,’ ” - J.K. Rowling (above) There are no trans kids because we are not born with a sexual identity. We are taught it as we grow up, and when we reach puberty, we start feeling our own sexual tendencies. I agree that "no child is born in the wrong body." We are all born in our own unique bodies, and as far as gender is concerned, that body could be male, female, or some mixture of those.

Humankind should either learn to live both socially environmentally compatible on this planet, or go extinct. As I've said earlier, we are "over the cliff" on this, so we (humans) will eventually go extinct - hopefully before we can begin polluting other planets. Fusion does create radioactive nuclear waste. Yes, it's not as bac as fission, but is still exists. Heat is the main pollutant. Helium may not be dangerous to the Earth's environment, but heat is.
