And your solution is to have society live by only the rules that ChiGoose wants us to? Patience…this will work itself out.

I was having an adult conversation with another adult about making our shared language more clear, and then you butted in with the juvenile name calling. May I suggest that you stay in your hate filled corner until you’re told to come out?

I actually designed a building that was named in his honor. I got to meet the Chandler family at the dedication ceremony and passed along sincere condolences from the entire Bills fanbase.

And yet here you are singling out these good people as if they must be separated from the herd. There’s nothing at all I’ve said or suggested that looks down on anyone. If you’re reading that into the discussion then the problem is yours not mine. Ever think of that Dr Freud?

Hey now! I’m the one who started that dialogue and cle23 and I were actually having a nice adult conversation until Billsy jumped in with immature name calling and hatred. (No offense Billsy.)

But…at the same time YOU demand that they be treated as special. It goes both ways here. You’re just choosing not to see it.

So you’re the one to blame for $7.00 gas! Enough of this Putin Price Hike nonsense.😉

Has it never occurred to you that January 6th was a set up?

Whereas you immediately dismiss him because his parents were successful, why exactly? Isn’t that the same thing as dismissing someone of a different race…again something they had nothing to do with?

Remember….You have to break a whole ton of eggs if you want to fundamentally transform America.

Oh come on. So if she mentioned fried chicken…you’d be okay with that? You 100% absolutely know you wouldn’t be.

Because I don’t agree with your opinion on many things. I see. You don’t disagree with people?

Likewise…old friend

So it sounds like you’re saying we don’t need all of these new words and letters (LGBTQ…) to distinguish between people. Everyone is just a person….right?

Have a nice day.

Okie Dokie…thanks for sharing your thoughts this morning. Keep up the Trump hate and name calling. It’s where you live.

You and I agree here. We’re coming at it from a different line of attack. Let’s use the VHS vs Beta analogy. The market won out there, as it should here. Like you, I’m not convinced this push for renewables is sustainable….and I 100% know that government is the wrong entity to decide for us. (My house has been solar powered for fifteen years. It works really well in Southern California.)

Thanks for the discussion. It’s really appreciated. I try to be an outside the box thinker. I cannot stand hyphenated America. And I hate the fact that we have very uncreative people steering our discourse in the media, advocacy groups, and government so instead of looking for compromise they look for ways to actually enhance the conflict. I feel the same way about abortion and have said so many times on here. We simply have to look for ways to get along lest we end up in an existential divide.

Do you believe everyone had a radio or a television when they were first invented? How about an automobile? These advances/changes take time. The problem is that our government has placed an artificial timetable on this latest shift and as presently structured, government is not good at doing anything quickly.

And then…give it another ten years after that! 😉

Kind of makes you wonder how much these folks are over charging for insurance services if they feel they can blow peoples premiums on Stadium naming rights.

Or we could just let the once free market take care of it, as it always does, and get government the heck out of the way!

I’ve gone over it already, a few times, but you don’t want to hear it. You just want to circle back to your need for in your face conflict. I didn’t say it diminishes traditional marriage. I said that was the partial intent of those advocating for gay marriage. Once again, for the kids in the back, the purpose of language is to clarify communication. Using the same word to describe many different things does the exact opposite. A German Shepherd and a cocker spaniel are both dogs but we use different words to describe them. It simply helps society communicate more clearly. It doesn’t make either one less of a dog!

Are we done with Biden’s “small incursion” yet? It’s really hard to tell after five months.

Again I say…oh brother. And yes if you use imprecise distinctions in the definition of words it waters down anything you’re trying to describe. That’s true for every type of word you use and has nothing to do with your bigotry nonsense. And I still have no idea why this would be in any way offensive to gay men. I’m pretty sure they already know that they’re gay!! But we all know the real agenda is just what you stated…to minimize the significance of traditional marriage.
