Now hold on - withdrawal isn't necessary. The Bush administration pointed out that terrorists do not have these protections because they don't sign on, don't wear uniforms, don't represent a state, etc. None of it applies to them. But unfortunately I know a lot of Obama Democrats want to recognize them as such, which is why they're pushing for Palestinian terrorist statehood and will probably do the same for ISIS in the future, because they sure aren't fighting them in any serious way. You want to remove the handcuffs from our troops, all you have to do is remove the one man who is standing in their way: the appeaser Barack Obama.

Muslim candidate says Harry Reid told him Muslims can't get elected so don't run. 261 in usual form responds "well it's true!"

As a reminder, this was the same problem Barack Obama faced in 2007-8. Joe "7-11" Biden, Reid talking about how he's the first clean articulate black candidate they ever met, "No Negro dialect" unless he wants to have one and play it up, then there was that period where party insiders were arguing whether he was a "real" black person because they said he didn't have slave blood. This kind of stuff comes from the Democrat party and it's sadly unchallenged because you see the same kind of response here, partisans defending their own.

Target's future? JCPenney, SJW early adopter, in emergency survival mode

www.nypost.com/2016/05/05/jcpenney-taking-emergency-measures-to-stay-afloat/

JCPenney takes emergency measures to protect bottom line

JCPenney, faced with unexpected light sales in mid-April, slashed payroll, froze overtime and took other drastic cost-cutting steps in an attempt to protect its bottom line, The Post has learned.

“Employees expect reduced hours in the slow months of January and February but not in April,” said one employee, who did not want to be identified.

“If you walked into a JCPenney store during those two weeks, you would have seen clothes on the floor and fitting rooms in disarray,” said the employee...

Penney is still recovering from the Ron Johnson era — from 2011 to 2013 — when the former chief executive tried to turn the company around but dug it into a bigger hole, with its shares declining 51 percent during his tenure.

...

Originally named Golden Rule, the once-successful company started off under the management of a devout Christian. Sacrificing much of his personal wealth to keep the stores running smoothly in the Depression era, his business not only survived but continued to expand. Another institution that survived decades through hardship and the greatest financial crisis this country has ever faced, only to be corrupted and undone by a few years of amoral Obama-style mismanagement and abandonment of family values. Can't say they don't deserve it.

78 percent? I knew it was the majority but man...for something declared "safe" by the left-wing activists, that's sure added up to a lot of dead people. It's a totally preventable tragedy but they don't want to be honest about it. If they want to lie to themselves with the same sort of smoker-invincibility that makes them feel safer in thought alone - it isn't my life on the line - but how much does this cost taxpayers each year, and how many kids are being put at risk with the anything-goes attitude in schools?

You're only validating my views by taking this down (nobody wants to talk about it). I compared this to smoking because you can still believe smokers can do whatever they want, but there's obvious consequences to their behavior that society has to pay for. The CDC is hardly a fringe source for this. With billions in treatment costs annually for each of these behaviors, and billions in federal funds spent each year, it's in the public interest to identify and reduce the risk. It should not be against the terms to believe that behavior which drives a major amount of new HIV transmission is harmful behavior - but if it is, it wouldn't be the first time that the terms here ran counter to common sense.

The issue with your post is that you are saying that homosexual relationships are an 'avoidable tragedy' in relation to new diagnoses of AIDS. The risk of transmitting AIDS (or any sexual infection) is just as risky between heterosexual or homosexual relationships as it is the forms of protection that are being used that can stop/hinder the spread of AIDS. Your post comes across as an anti-gay post, and perhaps you need to word your posts better in order for users to not take offence to them in the future.

We need a leader who will keep it flying high.

Barack has been nothing short of a total disaster, easily the worst leader in American history, and in the running for worst around the globe. All he does is sit back and watch as the world descends into a violent wasteland.

Donald Trump is presenting himself as the law and order candidate, and it's easy to see why. Here's just one of many chain letters that arose in the original law and order era, speaking out against left-wing radicalism...just compare it to our problems today.

There are those who claim that ours is a "sick" society; that our country is sick; that we are sick. Well, maybe they're right. I submit that I'm sick and maybe you are too.

I am sick of having policemen ridiculed and called "pigs" while cop killers are hailed as some kind of folk hero.

I am sick of commentators and newspaper writers canonizing anarchists, revolutionaries and criminal rapists, but condemning law enforcement when such criminals are brought to justice.

I am sick of paying more and more taxes to build schools while I see some faculty members encouraging students either to tear them down or burn them.

I am sick of Supreme Court decisions which turn criminals loose on society, while other decisions try to take away my means of protecting my family and home.

I am sick of being told that policemen are mad dogs who should not have guns, but that criminals who use guns to rob, maim and murder should be understood and helped to find their way back to the mainstream of society.

I am sick of riots, marches, protests, demonstrations, confrontations and other mob temper tantrums of people intellectually incapable of working within the system.

I am sick of the decline of personal honesty, personal integrity and human sincerity.

Most of all, though, I am sick of being told I'm sick. I'm sick of being told my country is sick - when we have the greatest nation that man has ever brought forth on the face of the earth.

Take note, all of you...you will not find me throwing a rock or a bomb; you will not find me under a placard; you will not see me take to the streets; you will not find me ranting to wild-eyed mobs.

But you will find me at work, paying taxes, serving in the community where I live...You will find me speaking out in support of those officials, institutions and personalities who contribute to the elevation of society and not its destruction. You will find me contributing my time, money and influence to helping churches, hospitals, charities and other establishments which have shown the true spirit of this country's determination to ease pain, suffering, eliminate hunger and generate brotherhood.

But, most of all, you'll find me at the polling place. There - if you listen - you can hear the thunder of the common man. There, all of us can cast our vote - for an America where people can walk the streets without fear...for an America that will be educated and not indoctrinated...for an America of brotherhood and understanding...for an America no longer embarrassed to speak its motto, "In God We Trust."

Trump's rise shows that Americans are willing to accept a flawed candidate if he is willing to perform the most important task of government: protect our basic security - a concept which has completely broken down under Obama-Hillary. Even a deeply flawed candidate would be better than the disgusting excuse of a leader we have now.

"Study: Same-sex marriage makes marriage less popular"

Suppose you went to a nice restaurant and asked for a steak. But instead of getting what you want, the waiter pops a laxative and leaves a rather nasty present for you all over your plate.

You demand to see his manager. But instead of apologizing and firing that waiter, the guy backs him up and says the stuff smeared all over your table is equal to a steak - and not only is he going to charge you full price, he's going to call you a bunch of names and accuse you of a hate crime (because by refusing to eat his excrement, you hurt the waiter's precious feelings).

The deranged manager of the restaurant is in fact so convinced what you got is equal to steak, he has everyone else in the restaurant put it to a vote. Unsurprisingly, nobody is buying it, but the manager just can't accept this. After he makes everyone vote and revote on it dozens of times, and every time the people say that no, this is not steak, he angrily calls them all h8ers and locks them inside.

The manager goes trolling for judges, looking for sympathy from an equally-corrupt individual. After his ridiculous and frivolous claims are rejected nine times out of ten, 99 times out of 100, doesn't matter. All it takes is a single corrupt guy in a black robe to rule that basic facts don't matter, and steak can be s*** if you close your eyes and believe really hard. Eventually he buys his way through to one of these disturbed judges, using resources and money that he took off you at gunpoint.

When you show him the dictionary in court, the judge rewrites the definitions. When you show him all the votes, he ignores them and says his one vote counts for infinity plus one. When you show him the constitution, he shreds that up too. Not only does he rule that steak is equal to a heaping helping of excrement, he decides that you will be locked back into that restaurant and will be forced to eat s*** every day for the rest of your life, pay for it as if it were steak, and these transactions will continue to be made at gunpoint. Immediately after this, the corrupt judge retires and announces that he's in a relationship with the manager, and will be the one taking your money to enrich himself.

If you had to eat s*** all day while corrupt, lawless thieves ignore your constitutional rights, lie to you and steal your money at gunpoint, chances are you'd grow to hate steak too.

Conversion therapy

TaiIs82 10/15/2016 11:25:46 PM
If someone freely chooses, who are any of us to say no?

Really odd that liberals claim to be for "choice" when it's a bunch of far worse things, like drugs and abortion. It's almost like they're stubbornly against this just because they're afraid their born-this-way ideology would be questioned.

10kl warned


Everything about this moderation stinks, and here's why.

From an issues standpoint: we are talking about a treatment option that mainly amounts to free speech/freedom of assembly, which thankfully remains legal most everywhere, with a few exceptions like California because it's California. I was very clear that my support was on a voluntary basis.

Any other political topic, pretty much anything else, we can talk about it (as I mentioned above). Including things that are currently illegal - prostitution, drug abuse - even someone who was a mod at the time who wanted it to be legal for companies in the future to sell child sex robots. We have the issue of abortion, of course. We have people who would go much further with kids than conversion therapy, in arguing parents should (take) irreversible hormone and sex change steps even on young children. Or that some people deserve to get death threats. There are quite a few things that offend me, but it's called being an adult and recognizing you will see different opinions on a politics board. If any mod has an issue with these positions, they can comment back just like wally and a few others have.

Bias: I can tell you right now that no one was truly offended by this message, and even if someone was, it's not worth enabling their anti-speech actions - there is a TOU so that there are standard rules set down and one guy can't just decide we can only have messages he likes.

It's worth noting, again, that the person who marked this has a long history of stalking and harassing others. I can show that this has happened routinely, and can point out a Hellhole topic where he openly admitted to marking EVERY message of mine, no matter what it was, because he has some kind of personal hatred for me. He's been suspended at least once for this. His pattern includes following me around, which he again did in this topic, usually making insults directly after my posts. Occasionally he sends weird PMs to me and a few other people. I also see that within the past 24 hours he says I need to be put on mental therapy, which is hilarious because he's done a 180 and is acting outraged in this topic. There is no doubt in my mind that his account would've been gone long ago, and it's only here because I'm a decent person. I'm a bigger person, and don't play marking games against accounts I dislike. Now, I can continue to ignore him, but he still marks me, so on that end it actually takes a responsible moderation system to recognize this.

Timing: a while back, earlier election seasons, I've seen the same thing happen then as now. It starts with one moderation and towards the end of the month, right before it leaves my history, I get another one. Or I see a one-two punch where the first one is used as a springboard to take the second one up to a warning. It really is an amazing thing to see, and I could set the date when it'll happen on my calendar. But I don't think we will see a day, after all these years, where moderators will finally accept that this is a serious account and not some burnout gimmick that they make most out to be, and often pigeonhole the complainers into. I view this moderation as nothing more than an attempt to shut me up or make me tone everything down before an election.

Putting aside the fact that conversion therapy is a controversial pseudoscience that has been linked to heightened levels of drug abuse, depression, suicide, and homelessness, and is far more dangerous because it represents the cultural stigma that is associated with homosexuality in the United States, your post also underscores an offensive statement - that people still believe homosexuality to be a choice.

Logically, this makes absolutely no sense, considering the outright fight that LGBT people go through throughout their daily lives. Would you willingly subject yourself to the level of vitriol and rhetoric that is levied against these people every single day? Likewise, conversion therapy is also presented to underscore this logical fallacy.

Finally, your claim that Liberals are in favor of choice for drugs and abortion, while claiming them to be worse than conversion therapy, is also an offensive statement. As a result of all of this, your post was modded. There's a lot of hatred and rhetoric out there; please keep it off of our boards.

"Putting aside the fact that conversion therapy is a controversial pseudoscience that has been linked to heightened levels of drug abuse, depression, suicide, and homelessness, and is far more dangerous because it represents the cultural stigma"

I would have to see those sources to comment, because it's beyond this dispute, but I will note that these heightened levels are also found IN GENERAL among the population, and that in the case of the trans population suicide rates remain abnormally high even after full sex changes. I would argue that this is "pseudoscience" and involves literal genital mutilation without much evidence of positive outcomes, yet this subject is not off-limits. It is also not off-limits to be an anti-vaccer or pretty much any other fringe position.

I wouldn't say that conversion therapy is more "dangerous" than an irreversible sex change operation, and it definitely isn't more dangerous than suicide, drug abuse and the other issues you raised - which is reading way too much into my post. This is a subject you brought up, and of course I would not approve of any of those things.

"your post also underscores an offensive statement - that people still believe homosexuality to be a choice. Logically, this makes absolutely no sense"

Logically, you don't think there's a single person in the world who has changed their mind? I would love to see this irrefutable evidence towards genetics that you have. Please, do post it in the topic and inform us all, because it must be pretty ironclad if it demands you moderate based off of this (while apparently, the jury's still out on fantasy politics and whether 9/11 or the moon landing were faked). Do you believe every identical twin has the same orientation? Because this is not the case either.

We are in the strange position where people can decide they want to change their entire gender, but not their orientation. This, to me, is offensive. It's telling people they are stuck in one camp forever and lack the free will to be who they want to be. If somebody wants to believe this, fine I guess, but what is the point of making this mod-enforced? The boards are not going to fall apart because one guy believes everyone has the right to freely choose if they want therapy, while you don't think that should be the case for whatever reason. Debate in the topic but don't harass me here.

"considering the outright fight that LGBT people go through throughout their daily lives. Would you willingly subject yourself to the level of vitriol and rhetoric that is levied against these people every single day?"

I know exactly what that's like when I come here and have to put up with you guys. Really, what site are we on? This stuff is stacked against me if anything. I'd have it made if I could avoid any sort of criticism about my life by having some buddies of mine take down all the messages I don't like within minutes, but I don't expect any of this. However, I do think there should be a fair set of rules, which we sadly do not have.

I'm not going to repeat the whole part from the dispute above where I'm followed around and called a furry or a brony or an escaped mental patient or whatever. I'm past this. Moderators say all the time, grow thicker skin. They say to use the ignore list. Here are some great options for people who are disappointed that I actually have a different opinion from them, and don't think the therapy should be immediately outlawed worldwide just because somebody made a topic about it on Gamefaqs. There really is no point to bring moderations into this, aside from enforcing a political bias.

In last hate-filled gasps, Obama links his legacy to Hitler's

The world's dictators were applauding as this administration abandons Israel:

www.foxnews.com/world/2016/12/23/us-abstains-in-key-israel-vote-clearing-way-for-condemnation-settlements.html

A "shameful" abstention by the U.S. in a United Nations vote Friday allowed passage of a resolution condemning Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.

The UN Security Council resolution was put forward by four nations a day after Egypt withdrew it Thursday under pressure from Israel and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Failure by the U.S. to veto the measure was seen as a double-cross of America's key Middle Eastern ally, and attributed directly to outgoing President Barack Obama, who has had chilly relations with Israel throughout his eight-year tenure.

Reaction from U.S. Republicans and Jewish leaders around the world was swift and sharp.

"It was to be expected that Israel's greatest ally would act in accordance with the values that we share and that they would have vetoed this disgraceful resolution," said Israel's Ambassador Danny Danon. "I have no doubt that the new U.S. administration and the incoming UN Secretary General will usher in a new era in terms of the UN's relationship with Israel."

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., blasted the Obama administration for undermining America's historic Middle East ally.

"This is absolutely shameful," Ryan said. "Today's vote is a blow to peace that sets a dangerous precedent for further diplomatic efforts to isolate and demonize Israel."

Minutes after the vote, Trump took to Twitter to express his opposition.

"As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th."

Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and president of Human Rights Voices, said the contention that settlements, and not Palestinian terrorism, is the obstacle to peace is false.

"This UN resolution represents the Big Lie of modern anti-Semitism," Bayefsky said..."Seven decades of violent Palestinian rejection of a Jewish state prove otherwise," she added.

The measure was adopted with 14 votes in favor, to a round of applause, after U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power abstained.

"The U.S. administration secretly cooked up with the Palestinians an extreme anti-Israeli resolution behind Israel's back which would be a tail-wind for terror and boycotts and effectively make the Western Wall (the Jewish holy site in the Old City of Jerusalem) occupied Palestinian territory.”

I just want to make Obama's motives clear here. An idealistic leader would've said "hell no." A pragmatic leader would've at least sold Israel out in exchange for a Russia sit-out on a Syria genocide condemnation. But Barack Obama is lower than even that. When terrorists are killing people around the globe, you won't find Obama and the UN. When there's war and genocide going on, they're missing from action, totally silent. But you will find them on the floor at the UN wasting millions of dollars solely to attack Israel because it's the only democracy in the region. This is nothing but pure evil at work.
