I don't see that you have any justification for doubting the credibility of the article more compelling than your extreme reluctance to believe it and find, or fabricate, if necessary, any reason, however flimsy, to reject its conclusions.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Where's your capital, Markk? You're not a capitalist. You're a consumer, as your post makes abundantly clear.

I would much rather the rich by more homes, cars, boats, pools, RV's, electronics, and keep the economy moving.

Re: Auto pen....
The article says Biden is fine, then three months later he he was eliminated from running by Pelosi and gang, because of his clear mental decline in the debate.
If you believe that a person with the stamina, and work schedule of Trump is in mental decline, then fine, but there is no credibility to that. You can say he's stupid or this or that....but to just say he is in mental decline is just not remotely an option. The guy is tireless, and says the same dumb things he has been saying for 30 years when he gets bloviating.

Re: Auto pen....
Well, at least you admit that Trump keeps saying dumb things. Given that, how can anyone who is not dumb justify continuing to vote for him or every having done so? And, perhaps more to the point, knowing that that he continues to say dumb things, and even increasingly dumb things, how can we still avoid the conclusion that he is, at least somewhat, mentally deficient and even increasingly so?Markk wrote: ↑Mon May 26, 2025 5:03 pmThe article says Biden is fine, then three moths later he he was eliminated from running by Pelosi and gang, because of his clear mental decline in the debate.

He also does some very good things and has many policies that I support and are successful. Gunnar we had two choices, a person that was clearly in mental decline, and a ex billionaire playboy, ex TV star, and Builder. Saying stupid this is part of being president, they are people, every president says dumb things. Being a mentally declining ex VP/senator, and life long politician, that some how became a multi millionaire making may on average a few 100K a year. Who supports things I do not believe in, like men with penis's in women's sports....my choice of the two is easy.Gunnar wrote: ↑Mon May 26, 2025 5:25 pmWell, at least you admit that Trump keeps saying dumb things.

Re: Auto pen....
Um, in the election that actually took place in the USA last year, you had the choice between a woman who had no criminal convictions, and was widely recognised as an honest and sincere person, and a convicted felon whom a judge had declared to have committed a sexual assault.
What country were you in?

I am curious Gunnar...what is a woman?
As for what is a woman, a woman is any adult, human female born with normal female genitalia and other normal, female physical characteristics and DNA. This includes the vast majority of people I would call a woman, but it is not necessarily exclusive. There are also hermaphrodites and intersex individuals with both male and female genitalia with varying degrees of dominance of one type of sexual characteristics over the other. There are also rare individuals born with exclusively female genitalia, yet are later, surprisingly, found to have XY sex chromosomes, when tested, rather than the normal XX chromosomes, as well as XX individuals born with exclusively male genitalia. So, it is not at all surprising to me that some of these would tend to self-identify as a gender that doesn't match either their DNA or outward physical appearance. If any of the above self-identify as a woman, I will not argue with them about it, or disparage or discriminate against them, regardless of their outward physical characteristics, nor will I condemn or disparage any adult who chooses to undergo a sex-change surgical procedure, though I question whether it is necessarily worthwhile or wise to go that far, especially as it is not completely reversable should they ever regret having done it.
As for athletic events, I find it difficult to justify, in most cases, transgender females being allowed to compete on an unrestricted basis with normal females, but there are some sports in which one sex doesn't necessarily have an inherent, unfair advantage over the other sex. And in the case of prepubescent children, girls can usually compete on an equal basis with boys of the same age, and sometimes even out compete them. For example, when I was 12, my 10-year-old sister (to my embarrassment) was both bigger and stronger than I was, though I quickly caught up with and surpassed her in both size and strength when we both entered puberty.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Re: Auto pen....
So breaking what you said down. A woman is an adult female with XX Chromosomes. A man by default is a adult male with XY chromosomes. There are rare medical conditions, that are not of the norm, where there are hormonal issues, and underdeveloped genitalia, unfortunate birth defects. There is coed sports, and girls mature faster than boys typically. XY men/boys, should not be allowed to compete with XX women/girls.Gunnar wrote: ↑Tue May 27, 2025 2:23 amWhat very good things and policies has Trump espoused and accomplished of which any other good, honest and responsible politician would not also have approved?Markk wrote: ↑Mon May 26, 2025 5:49 pmHe also does some very good things and has many policies that I support and are successful.

I think we agree with these. And to start these are things any good and honest politician should support and protect these folks, especially women and girls from men/boys. How do you feel about hormone blockers for boys and girls? Or parents waiting to assign gender to a perfectly healthy XX girl or XY until they are older and can decide for them selves? What about removing breast and other genitalia? Do you think the men who call themselves women, with male genitalia should be allowed in women's prisons? Should the government pay for sex changes? Should they do so for prisoners?

Re: Auto pen....
Why did I even look at this? The way he describes things it's like he dehumanizes folks with every word and question. I thought I saw something about cutting their breasts off, too. I think I did at least?
Meanwhile the guy in charge is burning the house down, writing death warrants for starving people, "disappearing" US citizens off the street without due process, separating families, screwing around with our trusted allies, squandering our tax dollars, and he's worried about this stuff which effects but a miniscule percentage of the population.
