President Trump - Page 487 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

You're basically saying, "If those Jews were so smart, why'd they let themselves get holocausted by Hitler?"

Or, "If those Africans were so smart, why'd the let themselves get enslaved for 100s of years?"

At best it's a nonsensical metric, at worst it's a stupidly offensive and offensively stupid metric.

Better than Hillary, the Media, and Congress - you're right, #Winning.

What did they have Trump's odds of winning the Presidency at again?

Trump's numbers are worse than Obama's ever were.

More from that Q. poll:

Mooch: 9% approve, 45% disapprove.

Would you say that Donald Trump is level headed, or not?
Yes - 26% No - 71%

I had a 2 hour conversation with my brother in law about many of the topics discussed here. He sounded like a typical leftist idiot here. I challenged all of his views and at the end of the night he said he's never heard people argue points the way I did, or hold the positions I did. I looked at him and said "and you went to M.I.T.? That's not a good thing.". He agreed.

Lol, arguably the best school on the planet and he couldn't defend the things he believed in. Completely laughable. They are spoon-fed this nonsense and believe it without question. 65k a year for propoganda. Lol.

Ok, assuming this is true, which it isn't, but OK, do you think your BIL's inability to do the discourse is a result of him not going to school for philosophy or political science or some other liberal arts degree?

I mean, it sounds like you're making an argument that STEM degrees are overrated, which would be weird considering your previous post about STEM.

Sounds discriminatory. Do those attending high priced Universities get free tuition? From each according to his ability perhaps?

This is kind of important (well, not really in the big scheme of things, but in terms of this topic). Please be specific here, Chez, because I think you are stepping into the realm of altering the nature of discussion if you are forcing people to accept a claim under threat of force.

To be clear, I'm not angry with you personally. I understand why you are doing what you're doing. I am deeply concerned, however, of what road you may be going down demanding that people agree on something that is controversial, and in a huge minority as far as opinion goes.

If you are simply saying that people must recognize Trans people exist, well, of course. If you are saying a trans male to female must be called a female or face a ban, then I take issue with that.

I would hope you would discuss this with other moderators before you respond.

Sorry for the delay in responding. What I want to see is a lot more consideration shown towards Transgender people during any discussions. There's no requirement for you or anyone to agree about anything but everyone has to make an effort to stick somewhere close to political issues and be respectful when discussing it.

On that note:

It's BLATANTLY OBVIOUS. It really wouldn't have been so obvious if they didn't do it so often across so many spectrums. Fat people being beautiful and humans with penises being women can make people skeptical after a while.

But hey, at least we got some big girls in the swimsuit issue now!

Don't make offensive use of Transgender to score your political points. I suppose fat people aren't off limits

can you explain why the term humans with penises being women is offensive?

I don't make fun of trans people, Chez, and I never have. I've never denied their humanity, I simply disagree with their ideas.

Where do anorexics fall between fat shaming and biological males having undergone elective procedures?

You claimed skepticism, but it looked like you were just making a mockery of what you imagined a stereotypical transgender woman's genitalia may or may not look like. A sign of any ideas being disagreed with?
