I finally watched some of the Chappelle special and it really isn’t very good. He makes a few decent points about gender and PC culture but the whole thing feels overly defensive and almost like an apology. Also there aren’t many jokes. And THIS is what everyone is mad about?
I got the sense that he really wants the LGBT left to accept him and like him so he’s trying to explain himself. It’s definitely not the kind of bold and in your face routine that it’s made out to be.
I find it hard to believe that anyone actually found it to be uproariously funny. He wasn’t even trying to be funny through much of it. And even if I agree with some of the points, I still think comedians need to be funny. That’s like their whole job.
[Thread] Ok. I’ve listened to your feedback. I understand that many of you are upset about what I said. Many of you have told me that my opinion was personally offensive to you. Moreover, my perspective didn’t match with your own lived experience.
Over the course of the last couple of days, I’ve had a chance to reflect. I never intended for my words to cause division, much less hurt and pain. This has been a wake up call. And it’s made me realize something:
I realized that I’m extremely right. More right than I ever imagined. My critics are wrong. They’re also disingenuous, insufferable, and stupid, and their feelings are irrelevant. I’m not sorry at all and never will be.
The thing about paternity leave is there isn't much for dad to do when the baby is a newborn, especially if mom is breastfeeding. His main role is to take care of mom as she recovers but of course that doesn't apply to Buttigieg so I'm not sure why he needs paternity leave at all
People are saying dad needs paternity leave for "bonding time." Sure, a week or something is fine. But the baby isn't going to bond with dad much until he's a little older. And we shouldn't be paying cabinet secretaries to stay home for two months for "bonding time" anyway.
You can also still bond with your child while working. I'm very well bonded with all four of my kids and I had no paternity leave for any of them.
I understand that conservatives don’t like Facebook but understand that the corporate media is attacking them because the corporate media wants to be the sole gatekeepers deciding what you’re told and who tells it. If you’re locking arms with them, it is to your detriment.
A world without social media is a world where the corporate media once again controls almost all of the information and determines which perspectives are heard. That’s what they’re pining for. It’s the only thing they care about.
I’m a critic of Big Tech, but my criticism is from an entirely opposite angle. I want the companies to stop censoring conservative content. But most of the major pressure right now is coming from people who are mad they don’t censor it more.
The whole "intersex" talking point from LGBT activists is disingenuous bullshit. First of all, they use it to validate transgenderism when the two have nothing to do with one another. Second, intersex people have a medical condition. It doesn't call the sex binary into question.
They latch onto this extremely rare birth defect and use it to ram through all of these broad, far reaching claims about sex and identity, smuggling in all kinds of identities that have absolutely nothing to do with intersex at all. And people fall for it. Amazing.
Some people are born with one arm. That doesn't mean it's incorrect to say "humans have two arms." If a human is born with one, we automatically know that something went wrong. He wasn't supposed to be this way. It's an exception that proves the rule.
In this thread I will respond to the seven most common (and dumbest) pro-abortion arguments:
1. A woman has a right to choose.
Nobody has a universal "right to choose." We all agree that some choices must be prohibited. The question is not if women should be able to choose generally, but if they should be able to choose to intentionally destroy innocent human life.
2. Pro-lifers want to control women's bodies.
The body in dispute is not the mother's. Again, the question is whether the body of the human in her womb can be intentionally destroyed. The child's body is the one at issue here, and we are the ones trying to defend it.
