  1. Yet that is usually not the result as observed and experienced. Maybe for YOU, but such movements are actually all about EXCLUDING others as a rule - who don't conform to their vision. What do you mean by not conforming to their vision? A vision of everyone (no matter race, sexual orientation or gender, or financial status) being treated with respect? Why would you not conform to such a vision? We definitely need this vision in all worlds, including virtual ones.
  2. The Totalitarian State manifests when the dominators take over and punish the out-groups they deem unfit. You have the dynamic reversed. A diverse and inclusive world in real life will produce an inclusive virtual world.
  3. Maybe where you got your information to decide the above is the actual side where the political hacking is occurring.
  4. The far-right in the States are jumping for joy over this Twitter takeover. If that isn't enough to give one pause I don't know what would be.
  5. Why are you, as an Australian, so obsessed with American politics? I notice that the Australian YouTube news channel Sky News is as well. And our far-right Fox news channel here always cites them. I guess I'm asking, is this a thing in Australia?
  6. Dear Heavenly Father, Please give me the strength to calmly close my laptop and prepare for sleep, so as not to be suspended from the forum tonight. Amen
  7. Hey I heard that before with the man who shall not be named but has been known to tint orange. Let's just give him a chance and see how it goes, they said. My grandmother had wise words of advice to me, that when people show you who they are believe them! So I already know what it's going to look like.
  8. You're whining about stuff that seldom exists. I think you just want to whine and argue. So can I call you a Karen?
  9. That makes sense if you can call a guy that too if he butts into your business and whines. So for guys too?
  10. He reminds me a lot of Ghandi and I can't wait to see what he will do with Twitter.
  11. I have no desire to discuss politics whatsoever. I was only responding to a comment by a poster accusing me of something I was not doing, and then defending myself as to why I said what it did. I have no desire to discuss politics or derail the thread, but I will defend an inaccurate description of me. Please, consider the topic closed.
  12. Why did you laugh, Persephone? It has me wondering, are you in the States? There are two instances of those overthrowing the government here in the States. The Civil War and the Jan 6 incident at the Capitol. Should I have assumed the Civil War instead? Pointing this out, and the fact that someone feels we should not call such people names, is revealing in some ways I would imagine.
  13. My take on it is people are lazy. Typing takes effort as opposed to spewing thoughts into the air without reflecting.
  14. This is completely off-topic, Moondira. As I don't recall seeing you posting other comments on this thread, I assume you're trying to drag off-topic politics into it to try to get it closed. I for one am not taking the bait. I was responding to Entity who first mentioned terrorists and government overthrowers and how they were being called names unfairly. I was sarcastically replying, "well what exactly should we call them"? Don't assume things you don't understand.
  15. What do you propose as the new names for those who attempted to overthrow our government on Jan 6 after losing the election?
  16. Uh, people like me? You don't know anything about me and what I believe, yet you are making loads of assumptions. I'm not talking about kids at all. I'm talking about people in committed relationships and how sexual expression is normally a healthy part of such a relationship. Such a couple should be able to use whatever we have in the modern world to plan their family in the way they see fit. If they can't afford an additional child and contraception fails then abortion should be an option for them and not prevented by the state. The 1st line in your paragraph is so bizarre I can't even imagine what you mean by it. Ignoring mother nature and science? Personal responsibility? Who says I don't advocate this? If you want to talk about kids though, good luck on getting them not to be sexual beings at that time in their life. What does planned parenthood have to do with anything?
  17. I didn't say it was a requirement, I said it was a fundamental aspect. And I would never include every single person. But for most people, the physical aspects of a romantic relationship are important and if those needs are not met the relationship fails. You seem to equate sex in a relationship with something bad or superficial, but sex can be deep and meaningful and not superficial at all. But more importantly and central to this discussion, why in this day and age would we need to limit such a pleasurable and important part of a relationship with abstinence when we have a myriad of ways to allow this expression without having 12 children in the family as was the case in days gone by?
  18. Sex is simply a fundamental aspect of romantic relationships. It's something people should be able to enjoy as it brings closeness on all levels. What I just described is far far different from a sex based relationship where 1 is only relating on a superficial level.
  19. Relationships often break up if they can't have sex. So that's not a practical solution.
  20. Damn you're good. Seriously. Not joking. Right to the heart of the matter
  21. Nope don't do it. Abortion will soon be illegal in the good old USA.
