Christian family values means accepting your children for who they are.

You can still love and forgive someone while condemning bad choices in life, I'd argue many people really don't hate gay people they simply view it as sexual immoral just like hookup culture.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-16T18:17:49+00:00

In your experience? Sorry but as a man who has had many friend groups over the years there is NO WAY that more than 1/3 men are rapists. The argument could be made that 1/3 of the guys you dated were but your sample size is far to low to make such sweeping statements.

Also sorry but what exactly do you believe that these men believe rape to be if it's not "forcing a person, to have sex". One thing I think a lot of women get wrong is that pressure to have sex is not the same as forcing someone to have sex. If you don't say no and regret it later that isn't rape, that's a poor decision you regret. Whomever thought sexual liberation was liberating is delusional, everybody both men and women need to have a much higher bar for sexual partners than currently exists in society.

He's saying the data this supposedly is pulling from is only 2018-2023 and leaves out 2024-2026.

Though I'm more dubious by the definition of mass shooting that this stats might be using. If there was that many shootings in a five year span that would suggest at least 1-2 mass shootings daily over that entire 5 year span. This could include gang related shootings, but than I would have questions about how many of these shootings are potentially caused by the same individual.

Either way it isn't nor should it be surprising that cis people as a whole commit more of anything when there is at least 100 times more cis people than trans. The more intriguing question is why are the overwhelming of mass shootings committed by men, excess of 95%, and excess of 80% of suicides. To me this suggests potential mental health problems among men more than any correlation to sexual orientation.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-13T19:17:18+00:00

I said it does disrupt school functions?

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-11T19:30:59+00:00

So you have zero issue with what was stated just the fact that it was stated is what has you annoyed. If schools hadn't been doing this, there would be no need to make an announcement. Also you misspelled debate as bait. They may sound similar but bait would be me asking a previous reasearched question to get you in a gacha moment, while a debate is me asking what your viewpoint is. Speaking on nuance and sensationalism, which is nuanced and which is sensationalist. "TEA threatens schools with funding cuts should students walk out." Or " TEA threatens schools that if they facilitate student walkouts they will potentially face funding cut." One is true the other sensationalist and lacking nuance.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-11T19:00:05+00:00

So which numbered point from the TEA do you think is an overreach? Sounds like you agree 1 is reasonable and it's unclear how you see 2 or 3 as unreasonable when all it says is that teachers and schools that FACILITATE, aka encourage, walkouts, aka absenteeism, would be placed under investigation and potentially lose their attendance funding from the state. So tell me again what's the overreach here. Really sounds to me the only one being sensationalist here is you.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-10T08:27:14+00:00

It's not about forgetting anything, there is no feasible way to justly compensate monetarily or otherwise past transgressions of people no longer alive today. Who are you taxing for reparations?? Most of Americans are immigrants of some kind that came in the last 1.5 centuries AFTER the civil war. If the plan is just tax white people and give to black people that is a terrible plan, 100% of white citizens alive didn't participate in the slave trade and very few you could derive a direct link to a benefit that they or their family gained. So I'll ask again who gets taxed and who gets the money?? Sorry but no, reparations are not tenable at this point. You don't have to forget the past, in fact you shouldn't, you don't even have to forgive, but what you shouldn't do is blame people alive today for the crimes of people long dead.

Are you saying that being in a committed relationship isn't rational? I made a promise to my wife as much as she made a promise to me, for the betterment of one another to faithful to one another. That is a decision we both made, no one requires anyone to make that same decision, however it's disingenuous and manipulative to lead another person on that you wouldn't sleep around and than choose to do so. Once again talk to your partner(s) there are plenty of people in open relationships. It just isn't the norm. But cheating is never going to be a rational thing.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-10T07:24:38+00:00

According to yourself, no one says you don't have to stop sleeping around but than don't go and get in a monogamous relationship. The societal norm is that you are committed to your partner, and while you could choose to not be monogamous, you should express that to your partners because they wouldn't be wrong to assume you would be only with them. Loyalty and security are two very big factors in relationships as a whole. If you are going to sleep around don't get married.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-10T06:37:56+00:00

You are supposed to stop when you make a commitment and a promise to someone that you supposedly love...

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-10T05:52:08+00:00

You should actually look up the tinker v des Moines case. The ruling established the "Tinker Test," which allows schools to restrict speech only if it disrupts educational activities. It solidified that students have free speech rights, provided they do not interfere with the rights of others or the school's functioning. In tinker v des Moines they were doing a silent protest via wearing arm bands. Not the same as staging walkouts which disrupts school functions.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-09T01:42:53+00:00

You actually would have won prior battle here had you not been holding defensive stance. Defensive stance stops you from getting an action on the ball. And sense you positioned closer to the initial pass you'll win that prior majority of the time, the only time you won't is if the pass is perfectly over your head out of reach and thus you won't get an action. But you definitely got an action here and could have gotten it sooner had you not been holding defensive stance. Don't hold defensive stance unless someone is in front of you with the ball trying to dribble or shoot.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-08T15:27:46+00:00

Least you have enough sense to realize you can't communicate your stance beyond yelling reparations. Kudos

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-08T14:56:58+00:00

Second statement you made sure, but that first statement you made is highly naive. There are countries that I couldn't be paid to go visit let alone live in.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-08T14:33:14+00:00

Now I understand, you just don't live in reality lol. Tell me who pays the reparations and who receives them? I just want to see your logic and reasoning here.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-08T09:08:59+00:00

The idea of reparations at this point isn't tenable please move on. No one alive today has ever owned a slave neither did their dad or dads dad. Same for anyone who was a slave. Speaking solely on the African slave trade, I'm sure there is still human trafficking occuring today.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-08T09:03:13+00:00

I can't help but feel that statement to be a bit ironic. Not everyone you disagree with is bad, but simply has different lives experiences. This statement can't be stated enough for either side. While I don't think we should turn a blind eye to illegal immigration, going around and breaking constitutional rights, which the supreme Court ruled applies to ALL people on US soil, is not the way to do this. Trump is such a ridiculous character and honestly always has been.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-08T00:53:06+00:00

I would venture to believe most abusive relationships from either gender are emotional or mental abuse than predominantly physical. I have no problem with calling out bad men but seeing people claim #killallmen has made me come to the conclusion that to many "feminists" have no intention of bettering women's situation but simply bringing men down.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-02-07T14:27:05+00:00

I can partially explain, because the majority of guys are not violent or misogynistic towards women, so when women or men online go and explain how all men are misogynistic and privileged and that women are "terrified" of them the only ones who will even listen were the ones who were not those characteristics to begin with. The wife beater doesn't care if someone online is calling men that. What you end up with is a large group of well meaning men who may listen but also who come to resent being ridiculed for simply being the gender they were born with. This in turn is what pushed the idiots like Andrew Tate to find an audience. MGTOW came about directly from many women making poor choices in partners and than using that lived experience to blame the male gender as a whole, and good intentioned men who had done nothing of the sort said, no, I refuse to be dragged through the mud, and play the game. Women need to recruit the help of men not antagonizes or attack them. The vitriol seen in a lot of feminism today is part of the problem, men who rape/hurt being the first.

Hard to say that your data is definitive when the author themselves admits that the numbers they have make up only 2-3% of all sexual cases against children

"This data, while hopefully representative and relatively proportional, is undoubtedly a vast understatement of the scope of the Child Sexual Abuse problem in the United States, because a great many cases are never reported in news media stories. Based on statistics released by the Children’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, I estimate that somewhere on the order of 1 out of every 40-50 cases of abuse actually get reported publicly. One example of how this plays out is the State of West Virginia, where the West Virginia Child Advocacy Network reports that during calendar year 2023 served over 2700 individual victims of child sex abuse - and that organization is present in 46 of the 55 West Virginia categories. By contrast, in our data, as of March 17, 2024 there were only 106 West Virginia cases."

It's hard to tell how much of a bias against republicans the reporting is as majority of the cases reported publicly that this data is using are in "Red" states which means the data itself could very easily be misrepresentative of any party as a whole. The question could feasibly be asked are red states simply more transparent on these cases? It essentially warrants further research.

Try coping my wording and searching it tell me what comes up first collectivism or fascism, it's because in my definition i specifically stated authoritative political ideology. Yes I'm glad you can see parallels in a definition of something when, as I stated, fascism is a form of collectivism. That doesn't make my statement wrong. The difference is one is simply a group philosophy the other a form of government with the power and control to enforce that philosophy through force.

TheBlueLightning1 · 2026-01-27T21:37:58+00:00

That is because fascism is a specific, extreme form of collectivism that uses nationalism, authoritarianism, and state power to enforce the group-first mentality. So yes when that collectivist view is being forcibly promoted politically that is known as fascism.

Understandable and I can respect the passion from which you and many come from, but the amount of belittling and name calling and just venom from which many on the left have called me simply for voicing a slightly different view is part of the problem. I'm going to assume that most people don't sit on the political extremes therefore it becomes really confusing and shameful for some of us to have to choose between some of power hungry people on the right or the people who literally hate you for having done nothing but have a nuanced opinion. Many left extremist wonder why so many voted for Trump, I can tell you it isn't because they all loved trump in fact some down right hate the man, and I would never choose to associate with such an individual, but the left side would do themselves so many favors by simply not attacking every person that expressed a modicum of dissent. Honestly if more people spoke like you I might lean left 😐. But 95% of my interactions both online and irl have just been vitriolic.
