I try to be very sensitive to this. damookster Send a noteboard - 18/06/2020 03:55:01 PM

My grandchild came out as transmale over a year ago. I found out last autumn. After 17 years of she and her, it has taken a lot of effort to get used to using the correct pronouns for him and I still slip up occasionally. I try to extend the same courtesy to all others.

I'm curious. - 08/06/2020 06:59:18 PM 1046 Views
I would expect so, yes. *NM* - 08/06/2020 08:00:59 PM 148 Views
That yes is for which question? Or is it for both? *NM* - 08/06/2020 08:23:06 PM 148 Views
The first one. Otherwise I'd have said no and yes. *NM* - 08/06/2020 09:19:48 PM 146 Views
Yes, I believe we will... - 08/06/2020 10:15:30 PM 282 Views
Why are you so invested in either closing down the country or the seriousness of the flu? - 09/06/2020 06:37:24 PM 339 Views
Because I care about my fellow human being, cockroach. Go infest somewhere else. I'm done with you. *NM* - 09/06/2020 08:35:42 PM 152 Views
Except you don't. You really, REALLY want this disease to be worse than it is. - 12/06/2020 11:06:50 AM 309 Views
Sure. Anyone who disagrees with you wants mass poverty or mass death. No other possibility exists... - 12/06/2020 02:44:08 PM 278 Views
Fionwe same as other alt-left crazies - 16/06/2020 05:24:12 PM 304 Views
I dunno what's "alt" about it. We're the mainstream. Which must scare you - 16/06/2020 06:06:44 PM 278 Views
Dissonance - 16/06/2020 08:02:08 PM 268 Views
Do you think it's possible to disagree, even vehemently - 16/06/2020 08:14:50 PM 309 Views
I'm sure it is, in some conditions. - 16/06/2020 09:43:50 PM 289 Views

Statistically Insignificant - 16/06/2020 08:07:03 PM 260 Views
Stats don't tell the whole story. - 16/06/2020 08:06:17 PM 266 Views
You're right but on race? - 16/06/2020 08:08:40 PM 293 Views
Yes, you're right. - 16/06/2020 08:17:04 PM 264 Views
You realize that's not a contradiction, right? - 16/06/2020 09:49:56 PM 277 Views
A few points - 17/06/2020 09:29:15 PM 279 Views
I wasn't going to say it but... - 16/06/2020 08:17:57 PM 297 Views
Again: you really are a loathsome little ball of slime. - 10/06/2020 02:11:52 AM 279 Views
It's not my world, it's theirs. - 12/06/2020 11:13:14 AM 303 Views
Burning down corporate stores and taking their stolen wealth is a moral good. *NM* - 15/06/2020 12:04:52 AM 153 Views
Stolen Wealth? - 15/06/2020 04:50:59 PM 289 Views
How does one determine what is Original Sin? - 15/06/2020 05:17:37 PM 289 Views
So then.... - 15/06/2020 09:59:31 PM 277 Views
I'm uncertain if this is what Ghavrel meant, but I'd assume you don't need proof that slavery... - 15/06/2020 07:59:07 PM 274 Views
So we're talking about reparations....? - 15/06/2020 09:42:37 PM 280 Views
Why must money solve "all" issues? - 15/06/2020 11:32:05 PM 271 Views
So then money won't... - 16/06/2020 06:09:24 PM 265 Views

Those aren't codified examples - 16/06/2020 07:31:49 PM 281 Views
Well that's some special nonsense - 16/06/2020 09:55:42 PM 280 Views
We're having a discussion...please try and not denigrate me. - 17/06/2020 05:26:36 PM 278 Views
But I didn't clearly state I want to denigrate you. You're inferring intent. How's that ok? - 17/06/2020 06:06:28 PM 271 Views
Pain and Death they *actively* choose... - 17/06/2020 06:39:13 PM 273 Views
They make no such choice. Which is why they're out there protesting - 17/06/2020 07:00:25 PM 331 Views
Sigh - 16/06/2020 08:15:12 PM 262 Views
Nah I just straight up think capitalism is evil. Reparations should be paid, though. *NM* - 16/06/2020 09:22:46 AM 137 Views
Fair enough. *NM* - 16/06/2020 02:54:11 PM 136 Views

Re: Stolen Wealth? - 16/06/2020 09:21:32 AM 260 Views
Rather it should be The State? *NM* - 16/06/2020 12:10:59 PM 135 Views
What is "the State" - 16/06/2020 02:57:34 PM 257 Views
my comment was directed to Ghavrel. - 16/06/2020 04:49:39 PM 264 Views
You shouldn't make assumptions... - 16/06/2020 06:10:02 PM 254 Views

Catholicism by itself is a Performance Arts Piece - 18/06/2020 01:17:45 AM 249 Views
A Catholic?! What?! I'm an Episcopalian. - 18/06/2020 03:45:24 PM 301 Views
No thanks. Not into non-democracies. *NM* - 17/06/2020 06:26:29 PM 126 Views

Economists have been arguing this for over 400 years. - 16/06/2020 08:22:57 PM 245 Views
You could let the market determine that, I guess. - 16/06/2020 08:56:23 PM 292 Views
Because we do not live in Paradise. - 17/06/2020 05:36:58 PM 253 Views
Exactly. So the worker should own the means of production with other workers. - 17/06/2020 06:11:21 PM 260 Views
So my question then is.... - 17/06/2020 06:46:11 PM 277 Views
Sigh...I just can't not. - 18/06/2020 01:20:09 AM 248 Views

A natural experiment - 08/06/2020 10:42:34 PM 238 Views
Yes, we probably will. But demonstrators wearing masks are not normal life. - 09/06/2020 07:10:31 AM 296 Views
I'm not sure that's a valid comparison. - 09/06/2020 05:57:31 PM 252 Views
Agreed. These aren't comparable situations. - 09/06/2020 06:09:27 PM 263 Views

Seems indoors with strangers is more a predictor than outdoor protests. - 27/06/2020 02:38:07 AM 355 Views
Tips, maybe? - 27/06/2020 05:10:30 AM 305 Views
