@Arkturos saidTry putting those magical dictionaries to use.
Yes, in fact I have a Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary that was awarded as a prize and signed by some members of the English Department at my high school, as well as the two-volume compact (microscopic print but large pages) edition of the OED which I bought for $40 at the late Haslam's Book Store in St. Pete (FL) when I worked there, and a dozen or more foreign-language ...[text shortened]...
Is that one of those terms like "woke" that some people like to trot out but cannot clearly define?
They aren't just for filling bookshelves, you know.

You remind me of the "idea people" in certain workplaces who are great at coming up with ideas for other people to implement.
BTW, Febriano says hi.
@sonhouse saidYou are obviously letting articles you read form your opinions. Bernie Sanders is not a real socialist, he is a progressive democrat based on everything he said during the campaign.
These ultra left wingers in the democrat party are not doing democrats any good but alienating voters.
When we run we have to get real and admit we have to work with the ultra right wingers in congress and senate.
The country is in enough danger as it is with the ultrarightwingnuts in power like that utterly CRAZY Steve Miller or Vought or Trump or Vance or Patel or Bondi ...[text shortened]... th Trump clearly thinking he is ALREADY a king
and slipping more and more each week into dementia.
The typical parroted line from democrats is to say Bernie is too far to the left for them. So the first thing I ask is which social program that he proposed are you against? And don't say everything. Give me one example or several, but be specific.
When you figure out you are not really against universal healthcare or free education and that Bernie never said he didn't want an open market economy start calling him what he is, a progressive democrat that was never too far to the left for democrats. You just didn't want to accept him into your party because he claimed to be a socialist and that is not your party.
@boonon saidyou ghouls are toying with the idea of removing women's right to vote but a few trans women getting into women bathrooms is the end of civilization.
Please stop pretending you are a champion for women's rights. You and your ilk let's men in women's rest rooms, locker rooms and sports. You don't, cannot and won't even agree on what a woman is.

@sonhouse saidI do not hate anyone, projecting much. I have a niece who I love with all of my heart. She is trans. She believes she is a man. She is trying very hard to look like a man also. Her mental state in no way changes my love or relationship with her. That does not change the fact that I believe she has a mental illness (which there should be no stigma attached to) sadly mental illness is looked at as a taboo subject in our society. Get a grip, stop thinking that you know how I think or feel on subjects that we disagree on.
WOW, who would have known🙂 You know, this deal with trans people, there is one thing that hasn't been talked about too much, the fact that although a number of people hate trans there is one aspect that should make people feel a LITTLE bit better about people doing the gender bender: They cannot genetically reproduce and the same with gays, two women, no new gay babies, same with gay men.

@boonon saidThat is great you love your trans niece but there is still a stigma about it even though you love her or him, however she wants to be called, your implication is with the proper psychiatry she will magically convert to her birth sex.

Even native Americans have their gaggle of trans folks and of course in their cases they don't have technology to be able to convert a body from one sex to another but they are accepted for what they are.
There has been a lot of nice Christian folks forcing their trans kids to undergo barbaric 'help' to convert them back with kids now committing suicide because this issue goes deeper than what interventions can ''cure''.
Like the fact that gays were, are, and ALWAYS will be some 2 or 3% of the population of ALL countries around the world and like in I think it is Uganda, where being gay is a death sentence, but people like that are so STUPID they cannot and never WILL understand it is a piece of humanity and there is NOTHING anyone can do about that, there will ALWAYS be gay people no matter how many are killed.
Like suppose some regime takes over the entire planet into one world wide dictatorial form of government and they go on a pogrom to kill ALL gays.
Hypothetical of course, but if they did that, the next generation will still have its small percentage of people who WILL turn out to be gay so they could do that for a hundred years killing all gays but the next gen will still have those gays pop up and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
The bottom line is people mainly religious people use the excuse of reading lines in their various religious books, bibles, Quran, whatever, ALL of those religions totally man made so they can say NO, it is not US saying that, it is right here in my great book, written by my GOD saying it....

Your suicide assertion is totally wrong and misdirection. Stay true to your convictions, and I will stay true to mine.
@Metal-Brain saidBernie is as socialist as is a Communist Chinee.

You, nor us for that matter, do not know what these people really have in mind. I do know he wants me to pay for your healthcare......what do you call that? I aint THINKIN' about!!!!!! (sorry, get carried away sometimes. Sometimes your grabby fingers can just get to be too much.)
