I respect that psychology can bring benefits to society but it is not science psychologists can believe opposite viewpoints and still be respected because it is about as scientific as the study of history or philosophy.


Idk why people with no knowledge of a subject have such high confidence in their ability to discuss it.


Am I wrong?

There are exactly zero biological tests to determine whether or not someone is transgendered. I'm not denying that transgenderism exists but it is as invisible as Autism or ADHD when it comes to actually trying to take someone's blood or even perform some kind of MRI to determine it. No widely or even narrowly recognized test exists.


And yet all forms of psychiatric illnesses are diagnosed in children all the time.


And we used to give kids lobotomies all the time.


Pretty big non-sequitur you've got there.


You are talking about giving kids drugs to prevent puberty followed up by surgery to remove parts of their body that you personally would be horrified to lose based on a psychologists diagnosis without a single medical test to back it up.

If I talked about a lobotomy you would also agree that they were surgeries to remove parts of the body you would be horrified to lose based on a psychologists diagnosis without a single medical test to back it up.

You are just giving them drugs to ensure they never go through puberty and then let them make the choice when they turn 18 still never having gone through puberty. How is that any less morally offensive than the dark ages when people were turned into eunuchs just cause. They are still having this decided before puberty.

Explain to me how that is moving goal posts? You didn't chop off his man parts before the age people normally go through puberty. You just gave him powerful drugs to stop him from ever going through puberty and then you did it later. He still never actually got to realize what those parts are actually for and why people, even a lot of transgender people, want to keep them.

Honest answer? I don't trust that I'll be let in at the end of the lane.

The "zipper merge" relies on people being confident that the drivers at the end of the lane will let them in when in the US you are more likely to have people intentionally make an effort to cram together to prevent you from safely merging.

In most states in the US you are actually legally at fault if someone speeds up to cut you off while you try to merge and you run into them.

Humans on the other hand are straight up omnivores. We can live our whole lives eating plants.

No seriously I want a break down of what things I said that you think are insane.

Point by point. Right now I'm assuming you are a naive kid that doesn't know a fucking thing about politics or the reality of the world as it is today. I'm assuming you are stupid.

But I'm assuming those things only because your responses have amounted to.

"Whoa"

"Dude"

"Thats crazy"

Basically the kind of shit you hear from people that are first learning about the whole reality of politics in the world today. The US or Russia could blow up the world more or less today and have had that capability for decades. "Whoa thats crazy" I mean yeah its 'crazy' but it is also true.

I'd say yes. Maybe it takes a bombastic hyper emotional tweetastic president to meet with the wacky tacky leader of North Korea and actually make peace?

We know for a fact that these are both irrational men but maybe Kim and Trump have a fun night on the town in Seoul and they just decide to end the Korean War. It is fucking stupid that we are still technically at war and it is tragic that North Korea had a couple million people starve to death because Kim Jong Uns grandpa was too proud to beg for food but shit if we can tie a bow around this thing and have Trump and Kim be buds then lets fucking do it.

http://sanctuary-pa.org/wp-content/uploads/hjn-yan-1.jpg


On a spring-like New Year's Day 2017, the Unification Sanctuary dedicated Cheon Il Goong/"Heaven's Palace" at its mountain-top location overseeing the tristate intersection of NY/NJ/PA. Hyung Jin Moon, whom True Father anointed as his heir and successor in three public ceremonies in 2009, explained that with this entrance ceremony for the palace, the time in the wilderness after the rebellion of the Han mother was coming to an end...... Three significant events took place on August 19, 2016 at the Unification Sanctuary in Newfoundland, PA: the 4th Anniversary of the Cosmic Ascension of True Father Sun Myung Moon, Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day - 1st Anniversary, and the Cosmic Blessing of 4,300 Couples for Returning to True Fathers Authority (Phase One).


Literally a quote from their website. Does any of that shit correlate with the little story you had made up in your head about these people based on a few photographs?

I was slowly driving out of the parking lot at a Panda Express and some dudes walked in front my my car so I stopped and then I look right and I see a pickup truck slowly backing towards me. It was about 3 second and my thought process was "this guy isn't going to hit me is he? Oh shit he is." Then I honked my horn a few times and then he just slowly knocks into the passenger's side of my car just in front/above the front right wheel.

It left one of those dents where I feel like if I could just reach behind it I could push it back out but I can't get to it. Ah well. The guy seemed really apologetic and gave me his insurance and I filed a claim for the first time.

To be honest I am ridiculously drunk and venting but I feel like I am in the same boat as a lot of Americans in feeling rage towards the heroin epidemic. I actually am an Afghanistan and Iraq war veteran and I am disgusted knowing that most heroin comes out of Afghanistan and that we basically allowed the production to continue because it was convenient while at the same time my sister was an addict back in the states without me knowing it.

Imagine that mind fuck. My sister called me up asking me for money because living in Hawaii is SOOOO expensive while I am deployed to Afghanistan and then I come back and she is some strung out addict weighing about 80 pounds. And this shit is forever. 5 years later she is still alternating between being "OK" and begging me for money for another hit depending on the month. Fuck my life.

Tbh the opioid/heroine epidemic being as under the radar as it is is actually fucking criminal.

it's weird that it's both under the radar and talked about
like, we've been hearing about it for years. there was a time after Heath Ledger's death I remember the news going constantly on and on about how bad the epidemic was, and that was ten years ago
just nothing ever changes. no one does anything and it fades out until the next big death


What about the small deaths? Tens of thousands of people a year.

I grew up in Aurora Colorado. The city of the 'Dark Knight' theater shooting and my high school played against Columbine but I know a lot more people that have suffered from the heroin epidemic than from mass shootings, including my own family members. As a society were are worried about things that kill hundreds per decade instead of the thing that is killing half a million people per decade at this rate.

I'm not wrong and no one in this topic has said I am wrong. What is actually increasing by leaps and bounds right now? Firearms deaths or opiod overdoses? Actually answer with some integrity and some intelligence. You are concerned with firearms deaths that have halved in your life time instead of opioid overdoses that are up 20 times in your lifetime and have far surpassed the number of deaths per your from gun homicides.
