And I’m the one who’s triggered?  A little over sensitive/borderline histrionics here man. Sorry you think I’m hateful because I don’t want to engage with your painfully meandering and obtuse arguments. I’ll try and keep your sensitivities in mind in the future. 

"I'm not triggered, YOU'RE triggered"  Cute. 

Sad to see that you have no intention of to answering hard questions or engaging in nuanced discussion.  I do genuinely want to hear the reasoned arguments behind why people believe liberal agendas, but I guess that won't be coming from you.

Why? You know the answer. 

Because it feels good. Second and third order effects be damned.

Seems pretty obvious that liberals live in these liberal cities, or they wouldn't be liberal cities.

I don't know how they see the disaster that is downtown LA and decide to vote for more of the same...but they do.

It’s the us vs them mentality that runs rampant throughout our entire society.  Something like this:

“There’s approximately 69,000 homeless people in LA county.” - Bob

”At least the other guys aren’t in charge.” - Bob’s friend

”Yeah, fuck those guys”- Bob

Homeless continue to live in the streets. American politics.

Like I said before, leftists and liberals don't care if everything burns down to the ground as long as they get to rule over the ashes.

Everything is wonderful, nothing to see here, pay no attention to businesses shutting down.  https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2023/06/14/progressive-decay-another-ominous-sign-for-san-francisco-n2624441

Please for the love of God don't vote Newsom into the Presidential office.  Just look at CA.   Im from here and still live here.  This place has declined significantly in the last 10 years.  If you want this for the rest of country, he's your man.  He is also pushing to take away "assault" rifles.  Lol.   Fucking clown.  Oh yeah, he also backs reparations for slavery that our state can't afford. No person living in this country deserves reparations for something none of us alive today are gulity of commiting.   The fact that they even entertain this idea is ridiculous.    Yeah.  We're a civilization in decline and he is too proud and stupid to realize he's (and people like him) are the causal factor.   Id rather have an inmate for president than Gavin Newsom, at least the inmate cant hide the fact he's a criminal.

 The reason why liberals live in liberal cities and states is because the “Takers” outnumber the “ Makers”. The MAKERS are taxed more, their businesses and success are ostrisized by the Left and their wealth is targeted by the Left, so they leave. The Takers, stay because they are the recipients of Democrat largess. Show me a City or State that’s better off under Democrat rule. I travel the country all the time. Cities like San Fran, NY, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, are all in decline, and rapidly in the last 5 years…all run by Democrats.
 

  NSplayer, I’m glad you hope to live back in the City…Hope you and your family will be safe..I know in NY today, none of my relatives or friends , all native New Yorkers,  even want to visit due to the parade of crimes we see each day on the NY News. Oh, and don’t forget, If you defend yourself on the subway after a psycho criminal threatens to kill you, You may get arrested for it, and they will erect a memorial to the psycho criminal..Fu$#@ng ClownWorld.  Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

Can’t prove the counterfactuals but…

Boston fvcking rocks. State politics are a bit weird.

Dallas has had a Democratic mayor since the 90s (one exception). Dallas also fvcking rocks. State politics are also a bit weird, in the other direction.

But seriously, the real problem in the union is New Hampshire. That place is horrific. Stay far away. Seriously, not just saying that so there’s more maple sugar trees for me. Really.

Those of us that live in the metroplex don’t say the D word and don’t go anywhere near Dallas.  Dallas proper is a complete dumpster fire.

Huh, guess I missed that part of the indoc when I moved there. Seems fine to me, with the usual caveats for a big city.

You can literally see where the city limits are by the presence of the homeless.

Im going to tell all of my fellow Californians to head for greener pastures in New Hampshire.  Im sure we can help bring NH down with the rest of us.    The funny thing is, I've traveled the world mutiple times (as most of us on baseops have) but I have yet to place my feet in the land of "Live free or Die".

Seriously, New Hampshire is awesome. Skeptical of government but with functioning schools. Plus, bleeding trees for a living sounds great.

Cool.  Can we all just identify as women now and get shit done.  Lol

Gender focal points and GENADs (almost GONADs lol).  We are setting ourselves up to develop some real badass killers.  Im a little sad we couldn't come up with ways like this to be more lethal when I was in.  Keep up the good work AF!! Lol

Gotcha. My sarcasm detector has been intermittent lately. I’ll get it fixed.

Yes. Please start quantifying and tracking gender based performance so we can identify our shortfalls.  
 

Once it all gets averaged out we should be able to identify the truly superior gender and place others in appropriate roles. That should end well. /s

What is a woman?  

[gearhog]

"And those who identify as such..."

Does the DoD have a list of qualifying criteria for gender identification?

Personal morality notwithstanding, why would anyone not identify as (whatever) in order to be given all the protection, preferential treatment, and elevated status the DoD is pushing if the qualifying criteria to do so is individually subjective?

Then at the end of one's service, "they" could claim gender dysphoria as a service connected disability.

There would be no downside apart from the shame, loss of dignity, and reputation for being human trash, which is no longer a deterrent for many, and often a prerequisite for leadership selection.

Didn’t people say that when gay marriage was legalized? “Oh yea, all the E1s in the barracks are gonna ‘marry’ their buddy to get moved off base and married BAH.”

Did that happen even once?

The few people I know with non-standard gender expressions/identities say the same thing as my gay friends: this is just how I am, it’s not some choice I decided would be cool one day, and it can be pretty hard to be accepted in a lot of places.

Probably better to just accept people how they are, treat people fairly and move on with your life. That’s my philosophy at least, even if a lot of this newfangled gender stuff the kids are going on about makes absolutely zero sense to me sometimes. #I’mOldNow

(Most) people will live up to, or down to, the generally accepted standards set for them.

If it is someone's personal policy to accept people how they are with no qualifications, they effectively have no standards or expectations. Do you not have any measures of acceptable behavior for the people you surround yourself with? If a person is willing to tolerate absolutely anything, their opinion is literally of no consequence, and they render themselves an ineffectual. Ineffectuals are currently being railroaded. "Give an inch, they take a mile".

I would agree that people should be free to make any decision for themselves that does not adversely affect others. But I need not condone or endorse it nor should I be censored for speaking against it. Granting an advantage to someone on the basis of gender identity adversely effects those who aren't obsessed with this latest trend. And one would have to be blind to not see the physical harm being done to young people, and the indescribable harm that is to come to them should society as whole continue accept anyone "as they are".
