From the standpoint of making and parrying arguments without saying something either logically wrong or silly, I have reached the point where I have no choice but to move d2_e4 up to 12th.

This was good. I dont agree with it entirely but it's very solid thinking

a). I think it's ridiculous that some of these procedures are being categorised as medically necessary.
b). I don't think it's ridiculous for a politician to advocate in general for providing medically necessary procedures to inmates.

Hence I've asked about a dozen times now whether Kamala had a hand in categorising these procedures as medically necessary, which nobody has even attempted to answer.

But this was poor. Will allow he wasn't being serious

"Voice of reason" and "anything but Trump" are the same thing.

Admitting error in a purely factual sense was not what I was referring to. Although, d2-e2 is making a pretty strong attempt to do just that by downplaying Kamala's association with the D party of California, which is obviously behind the classification of transgender surgeries as medical necessities for prisoners.

Oh good, it's the annoying weed again. Ok, since you want to play this game, what is the exact claim you're making now? Be very specific please, vagueness and generalities is what landed you in your little predicament last time.

Ok. What I wrote above is entirely consistent with the posts that provoked you, but whatever.

it was not consistent with your appendicitis adventure

Oh, you're 13 now. Probably slid so far that you're now dumb enough to think it's unlucky.

Not necessarily. I am still balancing how to deal with two bad thoughts.

1. If a small group of people deserve to be treated no better than, and maybe even slightly worse than a larger group of people. but are in fact in some respects being treated better, you can make that right by not treating them as well as they are, OR by treating the larger group BETTER than they are. However, if BOTH groups are being treated worse than they should be, to go out of your way to make it "fair" by treating that first group worse, is needlessly mean given the tiny extra cost to the population in general.

2. It doesn't matter if giving incarcerated people gender affirming drugs is 10,000th on the list of important issues. It matters whether the issue could change enough votes to change the election results.

So, you can see my dilemma. Luckily for you, you are now above it all and need not bother contemplating such things.

Indeed. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.


It can't be healthy to be this obsessed with transgender people.

i still think it's 50/50 that the list is a giant level constructed by david putting the people most tilting to roc just a nudge above him 😀

Well, he did already admit he pretty much had no idea who chez was and only put him on the list to piss me off. How sad for chez, all these years kissing Dave's ass and the only time he ever gets a notice or a mention is getting used as a device to troll me, his forum nemesis.


Why are you guys voting the way you are?

Is it really because of transgender issues?

Rickroll is abstaining because he had to cough up a copay for his penis pump while some shoplifter in California got a brand new set of tits on the house. Abstaining from voting, that is.

What's he got against tits?!?!?!


by Doctor Zeus k

Not much, that's why he's so angry and frustrated all the time.



Heyoooooooooo

lol at you thinking of yourself as a nemesis

I don't think of myself as your nemesis, that would imply some sort of parity. I was looking at the situation from your point of view, thinking of me as your nemesis.


I think of you as almost like the precocious child I used to be.


it's somewhat interesting(mostly sad) to see seemingly smart people get so overwhelmed with trans panic/bigotry that they become stupid.


by chezlaw k

I think of you as almost like the precocious child I used to be.

I hate to break it to you, chez, but the only reason anyone ever called you a precocious child is because they've only interacted with you online and assumed you were 10.


Sadly they hadn't invented the internet yet

He wasn't referring to being wrong about facts??? hahaha WHAT


I only meant you never admit you're wrong about opinions, man. OBVIOUSLY

hahaha

No I'm voting for the one Taylor Swift told me to vote for.

Whoosh.
