Interesting in how there are these 2 different aspects, appearance and activity roles that are links to gender, and sexuality that is also linked to gender.

The reason I disagree about "self-identifying by gender" at an early age, is that is more like role playing. They may like a more nurturing role like providing meals, or a more assertive role like being a breadwinner. But I think both are just like playing house, and are not sexual. That is...

Correct. I am claiming a prepubescent child is not any sex yet. That is because the birth genitals do not dictate gender to me. What is the most defining is the mental orientation that comes with puberty. The differences in bone structure are due to hormones, but I think the hormone difference...

I don't like anything about the case. First of all, they used hormone therapy before the kid was even 11, and that is a horrible idea, since puberty had not been reached yet, so they had not achieved either sex yet. Second is that they still are going to have different bone structure, muscle...

The problem of "$Billionaires rolling the dice" is that they concentrate on returns and don't at all care what harm they do. Like the Moderna and Pfizer mRNA injections for covid, that they each made $60 billion apiece on, but was extremely harmful instead of good.

Your definition of infidel says, " from Latin īnfidēlis, disloyal : in-, not; see IN-1 + fidēlis, faithful". So it originally has nothing to do with religion. Fidelity means being faithful, so infidelity means being unfaithful. I do not know what the actual Quran says in Arabic, but the...

Agreed. Universal healthcare or single payer is a viable option.

Things like online patient databases requires join cooperation instead of individual company profit motivation. Grant money for research is the opposite of the profit motive. It is voluntary money invested in the hope of later voluntary benefits in return. That is why almost all research and...

Funny how it was Trump who sabotaged the Canadian conservatives. {... Until last year Poilievre was seen as a shoo-in to become Canada's next prime minister and shepherd his Conservative Party back into power for the first time in a decade. Then, Trump declared economic war on the U.S.'s...

With health care, innovation happens at university research centers, not average providers, and is not profit motivated.

The difficulty for the doctors is increased exponentially when they are forced to learn all the different systems the insurance companies require be use in order to get authorization for a procedure the doctor already knows is appropriate. US health care costs over twice what public health care...

The Balfour Declaration was in WWI, to get Jewish help. But clearly it could not give Jews any rights to Palestine because England did not own Palestine, the Ottoman Empire did. And a "Jewish homeland" just means facilitated immigration, not sovereignty. This was explained by the Churchill...

No, infidelity does not mean religion. It means one who is unfaithful to a treaty. The 9th surah is about how you can't trust anyone who broke treaties twice before. The conflict between Shia and Sunni comes from a disagreement on which relatives were to inherit the dynasty after Mohammed's...

I can't imagine why in the world the US would want to kidnap the captain and 1st mate of this tanker, since it clearly is so high in the water that it can't have any oil? Since it was docked in Scotland, legally the US was supposed to go through the legal procedures of Scotland, even if they did...

The word "infidel" does not refer to religion. It mean one who is unfaithful. And the meaning of Quran, 9th surah, is that AFTER you have twice made treaties with others that they have violated and gone to war, then you no longer can trust them. After 2 betrayals, then you have to kill them in...

While I personally would prefer to see Iran NOT become a nuclear power, after we lied about Iraqi WMD and murdered half a million innocent Iraqis, now all countries have a legitimate need for a nuclear deterrent.

It is my opinion that insurance is just too fragile. Insurance forces you to prepay, and once you have done that, it is always inherently difficult to force justice for payouts later. If nothing else, they can just decide to drop you once you get to the age where payouts are more likely. And...

I disagree. The Ukraine originally was all Russian, and Zelensky is not representative the original natives of the Ukraine. He is a dictator who supported mass murder of the actual natives by the racist Azov Battalion of ethnic Polish, descendants of failed invaders. It is well documented. The...

What is so very odd is that United Healthcare has murdered millions of people by denying obvious claims that could have saved their lives. Since United Healthcare runs a monopoly of owning both the insurance companies and the hospitals, they are violating the contracts with those paying in, and...

Odd. I can type it in and get to the site, but when I trying add the link here, it fails for me as well.
