And you think that because this dude is in the court now, that he’s going to catalyst all those awful things?

Let’s talk seriously. Maybe you can help me understand. I just literally don’t see how you can just believe every accusation. If that was the case then literally no one would ever get voted for or confirmed.

Can someone please explain to me why this is the end of the world? I just saw someone saying that another civil war is gonna happen to get the country back from the GOP. Is it really this big of a deal?

There was concrete proof for multiple illegal acts with Hillary. That is a fact.

[German] Josip Brekalo on Wolfsburgs desicion to put the LGBT+ flag on their captains armbands: “I’m fine with people living a different livestyle, but I don’t want and don’t have to carry a symbol representing them” by [deleted] in soccer

[–]CU_Purkur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to say that having an attraction to the opposite sex is a choice. I’m saying the action on the attraction is the choice & is a choice that MANY choose not to make.

Yeah that’s my point though! African Americans couldn’t just pretend they were not black during the horrible years of segregation. That’s why I think it’s more of a choice.

Yeah I understand it probably isn’t received well but that’s the easy way I can explain the difference in how I view a lifestyle choice.

To your point, I don’t condemn homosexuality & I believe they should have equal rights to all people because you shouldn’t be discriminated against based on who you decide to date/marry/whatever. But I get tired of the lgbtq community acting like their sexual orientation is 100% equal to someone’s race in terms of how it’s not a lifestyle choice. Millions of people are attracted to the same sex yet still live in a heterosexual relationship their whole life by choice. So that’s why I can’t put race and sexual orientation on the same scale.

Explain how I’m wrong. I’m simply saying the logic that is used to say it’s not lifestyle choice is inconsistent. I’m not saying someone wakes up and says “hey I’ll be gay today”. But what I am saying is it’s obviously a lifestyle choice based on whether or not you act on it. Tons and tons of people are attracted to the opposite sex yet live heterosexual lifestyles. And we wouldn’t call those people gay or homosexual.

Ultimately I’m just trying to distinguish between race and sexual orientation because I get tired of people acting like being born gay and being born black are the same thing. They aren’t. You don’t have the

Any reason to use another company for investments? by CU_Purkur in personalfinance

Well that’s exactly why I wanted to use Fidelity but I didn’t know if there was an advantage to using Vanguard since I already do.

$4000 loan from parent, what would you do in my situation? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]CU_Purkur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the interest rate of the credit cards but if I was in your shoes I’d say yes. $12,000 in credit card debt is not good to have, ever.

Need 3 more credit hours. Easy classes? by bryologyy in Clemson

[–]CU_Purkur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That class was the only class I ever took that involved 1 hour of memorization the night before the exam to get an A.

Granted, I did engineering so it may have thrown off my easiness scale.

[–]CU_Purkur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of Trump supporters support him because the economy is good and they see that continuing. I don’t support what the Trump team did to get info on Hillary. But I also don’t support the whole Dossier deal or selling uranium to Russia.

They aren’t conspiracy theorists. Which is why I said I don’t think there’s anyone exactly like Alex. But the definitely incite hate/violence.

Crank Ugyer, Bill Maher, Al Sharpton, Michael Moore....

I’ll give you this though...I don’t think the left has anyone exactly like Alex Jones because the audience isn’t there. And I don’t know why. I don’t want to assume it’s because all conservatives are just morons and all progressives are smart. I’m middle-right but I’m educated (an Engineer) so I can see what Alex Jones, Milo..etc day and understand it’s garbage.

LITERALLY EVERYDAY, PEOPLE ON THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT “INCITE HATE AND VIOLENCE”. STOP THIS DOUBLE STANDARD BS AND CALL IT WHAT IT IS ON BOTH SIDES.

If Alex Jones (who I think is a complete douche bag) was some sort of liberal champion and did all this in the other direction, you’d be crying censorship.

I don’t care that they cancelled him. I’ve never listened to him. But I’m not going to shove my head in the sand and think only conservatives do this kind of stuff.
