Spin Zone / Re: Why Men Don’t Belong in Women’s Sports
« on: March 18, 2022, 12:43:36 PM »
I can understand their dilemma.  Say you love swimming, or whatever sport. It’s your whole life, you’re obsessed with it.  But you’re also trans, so you transition.  But when you block testosterone in your body, you really are not on equal footing with men anymore.  Muscle mass shrinks when you suppress testosterone.  So that puts you at a disadvantage if you compete in men’s sports. 

But your muscle loss does not bring you down to equal footing with women either. You still have bigger bones, more muscle, longer limbs, and generally a height and weight advantage.

The claim that trans women are equivalent to XX women is false. I don’t know how they can say that with a straight face.  At the same time, they’re no longer up to optimum male strength so you can’t say they should compete as a man.  Their male competition now has ten times their level of testosterone.  That’s not fair either.

My opinion is they need to decide what’s more important and choose one. Often in life you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Either be an athlete, or transition, but stop trying to do both. Either way it’s unfair. Either to you, or to your competitors.  If being the opposite sex to which you were born is so important you can’t live otherwise, then find some other hobby or profession.  People have to give up what they love all the time.  Your selfishness, or addiction to your sport, is ruining women’s athletics.

Another solution looking for a problem. I wonder how small our tax burden would be if Dems would stop playing this game.

The EPA needs to be reduced by 90% or eliminated altogether.  There should never be regulations like this forced on the people with no say in it.  The whole concept of regulatory agencies is flawed:  The alphabet agencies are arguably the biggest waste of taxpayer dollars and biggest source of damaging economic policy in the country.  Look at the destruction the CDC alone did the past two years.

If Russia drops a nuke on DC and all of America is in chaos, we wouldn’t be allowed to mention it on the PoA board.

I'm really surprised the thread lasted as long as it did.

I did my part to throw some fuel on that fire  ;D

Spin Zone / January 6th Topic for bflynn

Hey bflynn, maybe you can answer these questions"

Why was Ray Epps on the most wanted list and then disappeared from it and has never been arrested in spite of all the video showing him calling for folks to breach the capitol?

What did Ray Epps whisper in the guys ear just prior to that guy beginning to tear down the security barrier?

Who was the guy on the scaffolding with the bullhorn yelling out instructions?

Who was the guy behind the security fencing that began rolling it up on cue that allowed folks to fet by and rush the Capitol?

Just remember, it works both ways.
Not really, if you look at the cartoon and think about what it’s saying. (And yes, ignore 7, who has also called me a liberal or something.)

The cartoon denotes the left pushing the centrist.  The right catches the centrist. I think that’s true. The left insists on compliance and complete agreement with its policies. It cannot abide by free-thinkers, or people who don’t completely buy into the orthodoxy.

Now let’s look at the right. Give me an example where the right pushes centrists to the left?  The right holding true to some principles such as abortion is not pushing people to the left. I’m talking about demanding fielty to a belief system incapable of compromise.

You can tell this by how the left coalesces and is so powerful in government - if you depart from the orthodoxy, you are dead to them. I give you exhibits A and B - Manchin and Sinema.

Yes, the left got centrists last election because they didn’t like Trump, which worked out so well for them. But in general, the right is the one with the big tent.  We welcome almost all who come. Hell, someone named Cardi B said something conservative and the GOP wanted to crown her king of the GOP caucus. Pretty ridiculous, but that’s the general tone of the right, and why the cartoon is accurate.

No, not that.
This:  (And yes, I do know and appreciate that you called it out when it happened here)

Agree, on the board. But not generally unless I’m missing it. We on the board don’t count. We can do anything we want.  ;D

« on: January 29, 2022, 09:29:34 AM »
lots of possibilities wrt "appropriate corrective actions", eh?

Very true! I much prefer a forum where these sort of mis-statements can be corrected and discussed, rather than censored.

Oh well, glad to not spend much time on PoA anymore. Who needs the headache of constantly worrying what the MC will do on a touchy subject.

On the flip side was his “Coffee Coffee Coffee,” which Rush would love.

Just to illustrate how true that is, I woke up this morning and read that and said, “I don’t understand. What’s she talking about? Why would….”   Then I went in the kitchen and made my huge mug of coffee. Now my neurons are firing.

In my view, solution is simple. Improve performance here on PS, refer people here from PoA, open up PS to search engines. and stop using PoA.
