I'd like an answer RE: Macron

Fair enough. I view it a little differently in that the insanity is still insanity but the hype machine is designed to get us to behave in certain ways by asking us to believe that it's mainstream and we need to draw lines in the sand that even apply to our goodness or eternal futures. There's only so much I can do as one man and dwell on before it drives me crazy. So I choose to let the happenings of my local community drive my true feelings and actions. The national stuff I have to always take with a grain of salt. I still remember back in 2011 when the river got over 48 feet in Memphis. That impacted low lying areas but the media circus was perched up on the bluffs acting as if the city was going to flood imminently. I always suspected the national news desks were a lot of hype but that did it in for me. They are there for profit. They abandoned fair takes and balance many moons ago for more dollars.
I think his point is that would make Mrs macron a woman.
There are only 2 sexes. Woman and man. This cis is unnecessary.
Answered in other response. It's not made up at all. It's sensationalized to make it sound like it's an everyday thing for many people so that you click the bait for their profit. Quite a different take.
Boys leagues are boys leagues. Girls leagues are girls leagues. Coed leagues are coed leagues.
Candace is that you?
This is the response I expected. Glad you didn't waste more than 10 minutes so you could get back to typing here.
How do you prepare for boys potentially playing in girls leagues when it doesn't even happen in your community? Lose sleep over an imaginary 14 year old boy in a whig playing basketball against my daughter, get big mad about it online and tell everyone they are an idiot for not focusing their energies on prepping for things that very likely never going to happen. There are far far better things to prep and plan for.
I can sympathize with this perspective.
Now imagine the silent majority standing on that same bluff, seeing what's happening, watching that same media telling us that women and men are the same and if you say anything to the contrary, you're a bigot, nazi, etc.
You're calling out the machine for it's abysmal coverage of one flood incident. Good, you should. Saying nothing is implicit approval. The more disrespect you swallow, the more you'll be fed.
You call out bull $h1t and vote for people who will stop it.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Well ... I went out of my way to watch your video with an open mind and gave an honest assessment of it, which is what you asked me to do, and this is your response. So much for olive branches, looking for "common ground," etc.
Voting doesn't prevent people from trying to be an idiot. Our sports leagues are divided by sexes. If someone wants to challenge that, you deal with it when you get there. Voting for someone that beats their chest stating they support the rules that are already in place simply appeals more to your emotions than actually doing anything that makes your life any different or safer. But whatever makes you feel special and important, darling.
I mean we don’t matter at all about how Mississippi state will play on the field but we sure will lose our minds over it. Sounds like we just need to shut down the message board getting upset over something so trivial as football.
Classic SPS. Me getting my lil' pansies in a wad over my locked thread turns into 3 pages of everything under the sun.
I'm still in Candace's bunny hole. She definitely goes down some winding roads. If half of what she thinks is true is true, the people behind it would definitely act exactly like they're acting, so there's that.
I don't know what's true, but at the very least I strongly suspect Brigitte did indeed start as a dude. If some kinda definitive proof shows differently, I'll happily acknowledge it. I'd rather the world be less 17' d than more.

I think the silent majority crosses a large swath of political ideology (that likely angrees on more than they like to admit bc we are so programmed to hate each other based on who we vote for) and we are all waiting for the day that the polar extremes quit directing traffic and we resume something more sane in the middle 1/3 - but it never happens.
I don't know what the solution is. Turn off the tv or yell at the people that produce the content? At a point in time I would say voting has the biggest influence but my choices seem to cater to the polar extremes and not the silent majority. What do you do? I'm not a violent person so that's out...
If I thought you gave it an actual open minded viewing, I'd throw olive branches all over you. I've got enough experience on here with you to know that wasn't happening. Even your summary of what you watched is dripping with your biases.
Your mind was never open to any kind of change. That was obvious from the start.
Look, I'm not at all sure she's right, but I will at least give it consideration considering the things presented.
In this system, say what you think, and-
If the politicians aren't listening
Vote with your dollar.
But...but aren't biological men who believe they are woman able to have children? Isn't that what the woke left insists we all believe?
ciswoman...
I don’t disagree with this but men in women’s sports or women’s bathrooms isn’t the silent majority on the right. A large number of the right are vocal about that.
just think if a large number on the left were vocal about it. We’d shut that problem down before it gets bigger.
and it is already a problem. Maybe it’s not in your neighborhood yet.
lot of neighborhoods where racism doesn’t exist. Does that mean we should ignore racism simply because it’s not my problem yet?
I mean you could go ahead and create clear cut rules to prevent it.
I don’t have many murders in the neighborhoods I live in. Maybe we should legalize it there and see if we can get some!
Give me an example of how I don't ignore racism if it doesn't exist in my neighborhood. I can say "racism is bad" and not be racist myself. But if I wore that badge you'd just call me a virtue signaler
The rules are already there. "This league is for girls". "Murder gets you X years to life". "Guns aren't allowed here". And on. It doesn't prevent anyone from being an *** hole and breaking the rules. It's up to you to determine what risk is going to keep you up at night. I proactively try not to put myself in positions where I could get robbed. That's a worry. Do I worry about boys in girls sports leagues? Nope. You're going to have to give me some numbers to prove it's a thing coming to a sports league near me. Otherwise my position it's sensationalized crap to get the loud vocal extremes in society to yell at each other.
Don't get me wrong, I do feel badly for anyone negatively impacted. If a girl only had 1 girls only league to choose from and they were allowing boys in it, that's an issue for fairness and safety and a failure of local league leadership. That's not debatable to me. My beef is why this is such a subject of the times for the parties at the national level when we continue to drive up deficits, continue forever wars (direct and indirect), have high cost of living, increased taxes via tariffs, inflation, high medical costs, immigration system failures and chaos, etc. These are the national level debates that should differentiate political parties. It's almost like they are allowing these side issues dominate discourse so we don't hold any of them accountable for the things that actually do impact everyone.
But you do say racism is bad. And you should. That doesn’t mean everything is racist though.
I think racism is bad. I don’t think the cops are systematically racist against black people bc stats don’t show that. One is true the other is virtue signaling. See the difference?
No imagine if all the people who say racism is bad also said dudes playing in women’s sports or using Womens bathrooms was bad what might happen?
I think that both of these are "bad". In a world of limited resources and time, racism would be far higher on the list of issues to be worried about than gender in sports. I think the masses would probably do the same. I think your issue with me and a lot of people is not that I don't consider it an issue, but that I don't consider it as important/impactful/pervasive of an issue as you do and much much less important on society's hierarchy of needs.
I'm willing to bump it up the list. Just give me some good numbers for context. How often is the is happening? Is it isolated to certain districts? Are there reasonable alternatives where one league allows it? I know at the college level there's something like less than 10 athletes that identify as trans and I'm still not sure that they are playing on teams that don't line up with their sex. High school level? Youth? Make me objectively call this a bigger issue than I'm saying it is.
I wish I could like this twice. Conservative used to mean "common sense" (at least to me). Now MAGA world has turned it on its head, and it's largely just wacko conspiracy theories and grifters.
