One thing teaches love, forgiveness, moral values, humility, compassion vs. complete degeneracy and debauchery.

 

Yeah.  All I read is love forgiveness and humility from you all on here.

Really? The world is a lost cause at this point.

 

You can be a good human without some recycled story thru the many ancient societies of the world.  I got nothing against the religious.  I would not let my kid be fooled into thinking one of them is the "real story" and needs to be worshiped.

Precisely.  Stop ***** over reacting to everything.  That is exactly what they want.  The gender people are out of control.  It will self regulate. 

 

Remember when the 2020 Olympics opener was considered "satanic?"

What is your official opinion of the drag queens during the opening ceremony of the 2024 summer games? How do u explain that to kids? How does it fit?

The point is that drag queen last supper has no place in the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Any deflection is just gross.

More trans woke nonsense. 

 

And here I was only expecting USA athletes to shi.t on the country they're representing. 

 

 

 

 

You mean your nonsense post right? Such a sour puss, can’t let anyone be, has all the answers and if you don’t agree you should get off his lawn. Sad as the one ear felon likes to say.

Ummm religions are cults.  So is maga

 

So are Dems.  Look at Harris being despised a little over a week ago.  Now you love her and think Trump is too scared to debate her. :lol:

 

And imagine if France parodied/insulted Islam at the Olympics?  Paris would be burning.

I totally agree. I do not buy into the gender insanity.  There is zero reason to sexualize the Olympics. Or to bring religion or politics into it.

Encouraging your children to think independently is a good thing, I think.   I use virtually the same approach to climate change, for example.

Hmm.  Perhaps not surprisingly, different children have different perspectives.  I'd say conclusions are varied and evolving.  There have been times when they questioned my perspective (and when I suggested that the agenda of the folks offering guidance should always be questioned, that included mine), times we argued or disagreed here or there, times we agree. 

 

Mostly, the conclusion seems to be that they need to think for themselves, and make personal decisions based on what they believe to be in their best interest all things considered.

If you didn’t watch the US/Serbia game you missed out. US team looked awesome and Lebron dominated while in. 

I can’t do it.  A bunch of highly paid professionals winning games they should win.  Boring.  Maybe raise the hoop a couple feet?

Josh is highly paid. Do you watch him?  And then there are the true amateurs eg rowing, team handball, diving , swimmers, equestrian etc. I met a Russian rower multiple medalist from more than 30 years ago on a ski trip. She said no one would believe the training. If she went home she said she’d be a national hero. She’s staying here   Our one political discussion involved her calling me a socialist. She was otherwise nice.

Ah what you don’t get (Or know) is that Serbia who the US beat today has one of the best players in the world. The rest of the world is catching up to the US. It was a nice win for them today. I would not have been surprised if the game was a lot closer or the US team lost. It would not have been the shock it was 20-30 years ago.

Josh is a highly paid professional, and I have a forum where I can watch him.  It’s not the Olympics.  I’m not at all certain I would watch him and the US Football Team playing the South Korean Nationals as an Olympic sport.  I understand others see it differently, that’s ok with me. I recognize and respect the time, commitment and athleticism that defines those athletes, it’s just not for me. 
 

As for the true amateurs, I agree 100%, though many of these sports seem less amateur than professional just based on the commitment required to make it to that level.  
 

Your Russian friend sounds like she knows the deal.  🤫

I know, generally, but that doesn’t move the needle for me one way or the other. In fairness, the NBA doesn’t interest me much either, beyond the occasional dazzling array of 3s.
