    I'm really hoping the Wild have their shit together, now. We can't keep wasting Dubnyk. We just can't. The guy is probably the most underrated goalie in the league (never see him on Top 10 lists). He's kept us in games throughout his career in Minnesota. It's time to help the guy out a little bit.

    Trump says his team is working on a new tax cut for middle class people which wouldn’t include businesses. 

    Good start. More! 

     

    If it's permanent he has my vote in 2020. Unless he approves cuts to SS, Medicare, and Medicaid. If he stands firm on his support of SS and passes permanent tax cuts for the middle class, he'll have my vote. That's one of two ways I'll vote for him. If he strikes a brilliant deal with China and gets the soybean market back in gear, that'd go a long way, too. 

    If none of that happens, I will be voting Democrat unless the nominee is a leftist loony, in which case I'll vote 3rd party or write-in. Democrats need to nail the nomination in 2020.

    Any sort of physical combat--a biological male should not be able to fight in the female divisions, period. ANY sport where being male provides a competitive advantage, a biological male should not be able to compete in the female divisions.

    This is not that complicated. Good lord.

    I'm just gonna say it's irresponsible to throw around labels like that. People do it with Trump all the time, even professionals. The circumstances that lead to certain behaviors can stem from a lot of situations, and something like clinical narcissism is almost always a complex combination of genetics and attachment trauma. 

    There's heightened narcissism all over the place but that's not what NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) is. I don't agree with blots' and his way of handling this situation, but I again think throwing around psychiatric labels in any situation outside of a professional diagnosing a client/patient under their care is irresponsible.

    This x 10. I myself have been using variations of the term narcissist too much, too. It's so complex. Childhood trauma is at the root of so many psychiatric disorders. It's a heavy topic.

    He is definitely the reason Trump won, he is the reason he has a chance again lol. Leftists like that douchebag are the best anti-liberal advertising there could possibly be.

    Trump will win easily again as long as things continue down the path they are right now. Now, if the pubs really do cut SS and Medicare, they're going to doom themselves

    It's not sexist to suggest that white women have the easiest lives in America. It's a point of view that has a good argument behind it. It's not necessarily true or false, but it's also not so blatant false that it's absurd or so openly true that it doesn't need saying.

    Your response to it is just classic "not the preferred mainstream liberal narrative so it's racist/sexist/[insert monority here]phobic" by default.

    He made a comment about how women don't get hit by men? Well I pointed out a damn good counter example. 

    Blots, if you want open evidence of everything wrong with your debate skills and moral posturing, it's right here in these 2 sentences.

    Sean said that men are more likely to be victims of violence (which is true)....not that women don't get hit by men.

    You completely change statements all the time because you lack any real counter punch. Now you've reached a new low by making it personal when twisting words by itself wasn't enough.

    Great job, kid. Send in your application to MSNBC already.

    For the record, the Bible also prohibits sodomy. It considers it to be a grievous sin. I can find it in Scripture if need be. 

    That's not my objection to sodomy, though--it's not a natural act. The rectum is not a sexual organ.  I don't think these things should be illegal or that people should be frowned upon for it, though. Do whatever you want.  It doesn't affect me because I don't take part  in it and people can do what they want. The only point I was trying to make is that choosing how and who you have sex with is way, way, way different than your race and heritage. 

    For the record, I am Catholic. But it's not about other people for me. It's a personal decision due to the fact that I simply feel better when I go to Mass regularly. And my life seems to work out better on a day-to-day basis. I had my back and forth with atheism. Perhaps I still don't believe--I'm not sure. I like the structure, the story, and the easy means to do good in this world that the church provides, and there is nothing at all like a good Priest or pastor or whatever-you-call-him/her that can give a homily/sermon that moves you on a weekly basis. There's nothing like it at all. A priest in my area has drawn me back to the church, so there's my religious stance as of right now.

    Back on the ranch, we don't oppose interracial marriage because it really is just marriage. I don't oppose gay marriage, either. Some could make that assumption because I defend Jack Phillips, but I've supported gay marriage on this forum for years. 

    I've been replying on Mobile until now so have not head a chance to type out what I find to be a sufficient response to blots, Than, etc. I believe Jack Phillips, due to his religious beliefs, should be allowed to refuse to design and bake a cake specifically for a gay wedding, or if we're talking about recent events, a transgender birthday. Of course I don't think he should be allowed to outright refuse service to such people, but that's not what he did. He offered to find a way that he could provide them with a product, and they could decorate it however they wanted.

    This guy won't even make Halloween cakes, for pete's sake. This isn't an "I hate gay people and trans people" situation. It's not that black and white, no matter how badly politicizing the matter wants it to be.

    Absolutely not a false equivalency. What if there was a religion who did believe it was wrong to have interracial marriages? You set a precedent that its fine.

    It's irrelevant whether it's the a false equivalence or not (it is), because Jack Phillips didn't refuse service to the gay couple in the first place.

    It's the correct decision, as was the Supreme Court's decision about Jack Phillips.

    By the way, some supposedly trans prick targeted Phillips' shop and has started the process all over again. Masterpiece Cakeshop may be forced to win yet again--and convincingly, again--at the Supreme Court level.

    "This is like refusing service to black Americans in the 1960s!"

    It's not, morons. He'll sell you a standard cake with which you can decorate as you please. 

    Hopefully more business owners start following suit.
