I might get tossed from the Gulch, but I've got two questions
I know I’m potentially setting myself up to get blown out of the Gulch, but I’ve got two questions I have to get off my chest. If this post costs me my Gulch membership, so be it. These questions are not—I repeat, NOT—directed at any one person. But I am putting them out because I want to hear what others think. I simply have no answer to either of them.
And with these two questions, I grab both third rails: Abortion, and the T part of the letter group.
My first question: If you are a practitioner of any modern Christian religion, it’s likely that your faith believes that life begins at conception. In this position, how in the Hell can you vote for a Democrat? Yes, this is a huge generality, and I know there are exceptions, but as a group, Democrats pretty much support abortion, in some cases damn near up until the time of birth. How can you possibly vote for a candidate who will do his/her best to enact laws not only allowing abortion, but actually encouraging it, and thereby violating one of the basics of your faith?
My second question: If you’re female, how in the hell can you vote for candidates who want to, quite literally, take away the things you’ve worked so hard to obtain? Again, yes, it’s a generality, but as a whole, Democrats are doing everything they can to erase all of the benefits you’ve rightfully finally obtained with Title IX by allowing biological males to compete against—and more often than not, defeat—biological females. How many scholarships, Olympic opportunities, etc., and the resulting downstream opportunities, have been lost because of this Democrat-driven trans-mania we are being forced to endure? How can you vote for someone who, for all practical purposes, won’t even acknowledge your existence?
I’m sorry, but I honestly do not understand how a Christian person or a woman could possibly vote Democrat, since so damn many of their policies run counter to your beliefs, your tenets, even your biology.
Fire away, Gulchers.

which means you cannot go out and keep doing the same "sins"
Right? Case closed."
I thought of three follow-up questions in regard to men competing against women, especially when the so-called "experts" claim there is no difference.
If that's true, if there really isn't a difference, then:
1. Why do men play 5-set tennis matches, when women only play 3-set matches?
2. Why is the women's basketball 4/10 of an inch smaller in diameter than the men's basketball ?
3. Why is the word record 100m dash for men almost one second faster than the women's world record? (9.58 vs 10.49)?
This seeming balance was to prevent constant bloodshed between the groups. Give people the illusion of having some powers and rights kept civil wars to a minimum. Subdividing the two groups into more would splinter the interest groups into unmanageable minorities. Whether the two major groups are called Torys or Whigs, or Republicans and Democrats, or elite vs. commoners, the division of property and power between the upper and lower classes prevailed. Everyone needs to eat, but what and how much, at what cost, defines the social structures. Dividing into more and more subsidiary groups is a formula for civil war.
From these premises, abortion can become desirable to reduce population growth. And increase in gender deviation is another trick of nature to reduce population growth. Then it’s just a question as to whose population is to shrink, by whose manipulation.
As for intermingling of genders in sports, that goes against the original assignment of gender divisions. If third and fourth categories are to join in the competitions, let them be their own categories, not mixed into the standard male and female sections. By all means let individuals be what they wish to declare themselves to be--in their own designated divisions, not secreted into the historical definitions. There...fairness to all.
I have always thought, if you can terminate your child, why stop at birth. You know how pesky teenagers can get (yes, that's sarcasm).
In all seriousness, you know when you're pregnant, waiting until the child is viable, is Infanticide. Plenty of people want children and can't have them. Chose adoption.
Any serious study of Margret Sanger and planned parenthood know it's founding is based on Eugenics.
This is the real reason why minorities and the poor represent the vast majority of Infanticide.
Riddle me this Batman:
How many women pretend to be men so they can compete in men's sports?
Right? Case closed.
God made you who you are.
Was he wrong? Did he make a mistake?
When you fight Gods will, the price is very high.
It might take a while to realize it. People with gender confusion are, statistically, at much higher risk of suicide and self mutilation.
How much of this madness (and it is a form of mental illness, prove me wrong) is media driven?
On the topic of the Democommies, let us grab the third of the third rails for completeness. Why would any person of Jewish persuasion ever vote Democommie? Yet this community has always been a trusted portion of the Democommie voting block when all of the Democommie practices are decidedly anti-Jewish. I really do not understand this situation and certainly do not wish any Jewish person ill.
Can’t agree with you more on the second though. Mentally deficient trans 0.001% of men (somehow it just never happens in women-T’s) have NO BUSINESS competing in women’s sports. My solution is either 1) you compete with the gender you were born as (period), or 2) we eliminate gendered sports , and just have sports. Everyone in the same group.
And I would never support silencing you from the Gulch for asking such a benign question! Going insane, illogical and inflammatory in your responses to differing opinions, like mine? Maybe.
With that said I am pro life and don't need a religion to take that stance. The topic has been well beaten in the Gulch with various viewpoints represented. Nobody got thrown out.
Regarding males competing in female sports, IMHO NO WAY even if they are pretending to be female! Back in high school wrestling was part of the physical education curricula and we had to step on a scale to separate weight classes to make the matches more "matched". Males and females are essentially different classes determined at the scale of birth and allowing direct competition is a mismatch from the get go, which is one of the main reasons for Title IX in the first place. You can paint stripes on a cow and call it a zebra, but it is still a cow.
If the 'sleeping dogs' would just lay there it would be one thing. But not only do they lie, they cheat and sometimes rape.
Abortion should be between you and your God. The government should have little say. Elected officials can do nothing to effect it one way of the other. Crime is the same thing, either you're for it or against it. The laws only give us a common ground. Break them we break you. As far as the gender thing, I predict it will go away, or at least fizzle out. The laws, if there are any, will be abolished as soon as we get a leader with a human brain. Are you aware that my State, I'm embarrassed to say, still has some ridiculous laws on the books. No buying meat on Sundays, no simultaneous dancing and drinking, no pretending your parents are wealthy, no biting off another's leg, no harassing bigfoot, no X-Ray Specs. Look up your own State, you'll find all kinds of weird stuff our politicians put in and never took out. Maybe we could use a few of them to jail our politicians, like catching them buying meat on Sunday and prosecuting them under the law.
The essence of humor is the unexpected and that was a particular question I was not expecting at all.
I'm a Christian and I do not vote Demonerratic. Oops did I misspell that? I don't care.
When I first showed up, some Gulchers called admitted Christians mystics. I looked the word up and on this board I admitted that by that word's definition I am a mystic.
Think at one point I added "Oogaboogah!" Or maybe I just wanted to. That was way back. Whatever, I just did that now.
We buy a lot of subassemblies from china. I have noticed that shipping FROM china is really great and has gotten cheaper since the pandemic. Getting things from china to the USA is fast and accurate. Getting them delivered within the USA is the problem once they arrive in the country.
I have noticed that customer service in the USA has failed to a large extent, and prices here have been continually rising for the last few years- I would average the total rise in prices at 30-40%. Its mostly because of money printing, deficit spending, and some supply chain disruption as companies are trying to deal with great reset restrictions and regulations.
