It`s a permanent identity that follows people through their entire lives...possibly similar to how compensation has followed you through you entire life and has become part of your permanent identity. just kidding.
It`s impressive you first called them "trannies" eh?

We`re all upset. Taking guns away from those that pose a clear danger? What`s next, letting trannies serve in our military? Not on my watch!
But now you`re all politically correct, caring and concerned about their welfare.
Transgender is a known mental disorder.

So "compensation" as in being paid, has been a part of my permanent identity?

a little insight into the tariff process
sounds like a gut reaction
and some regret after the market dropped 600 points in a few hours
take it with the usual grain of salt

some consider conservatism a mental disorder
Racism, Conservatism, and ````phobia are linked to low IQ:
Hodson and Busseri (2012) concluded in a correlational study published in Psychological Science that people who score low on General Intelligence tests are more likely to develop greater prejudiced, racist beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood. The study was done on 15,874 kids. Kids who were tested with low IQ were more likely to obtain racist and conservative attitudes. Similarly, higher intelligence in childhood has been shown to predict less racism in adulthood. They also found that poor abstract reasoning skills were linked to ````phobic attitudes. These support the idea that low intelligence brings up poor mental skills and especially ‘less effort thinking’ in which as a result children tend to show right-wing attitudes.
Racism, Conservatism, and ````phobia can be a sign of mental illness:
The debate over racism, conservatism, and ````phobia can continue to mental illness. According to The American Psychiatric Association, extreme racism can be a delusional symptom of psychotic disorders. So could another study support the idea that ````phobia is associated with mental disorders, or, at least is a psychological symptom of certain mentail illnesses such as depression, psychoticism, attachment problems etc.

And BMW owners seem to be labeled as "jerk drivers" based off some research. Oh, and Prius drivers. It`s not your imagination: BMW drivers are the biggest jerks So your point?
Also, I am Hispanic/Native married to a French/Filipino/Hawaiian woman AND I`m conservative, go figure!

Stanley made the statement that crazy people should not have guns THEN states "trannies" should not be in the military. He was the one linking the two and my reply was that if you want to take guns away from crazy/mental people then START with the gender confused because it`s a known mental disorder.
So yes, I gave it a great deal of thought.
Thank you

as for the `trannie` rant
way too dark for me
alot of subtext in there
were you ever in the Service?
I can`t speak for his wife. It`s a tragedy all the way around.

easily avoidable
the guy had ptsd from being in gunfights...so hand him a gun?

a gun?! a gun centric lifestyle is not healthy

Not sure I ever stated you did drive a BMW. correct? I just searched "jerk drivers" and those articles came up. This is a "car" forum, hence the correlation.
My father was racist, even against others of his own so yes racism knows no bounds or political party. Democrats killed or threatened how many blacks? Does this mean all Dems are racist? No of course not. Conservatives are portrayed as redneck and ignorant and haters of all but is that really true? No, of course not.

I mentioned it in this thread
regardless, why bring it up?
I posted that article because you ARE a conservative lol
yes, many dems are racist
not as many as repubs though
the difference is the dems know it and are trying to make ammends
you guys call it white guilt, "
be proud of your race!!! "
repubs think it is acceptable, trump exploited it
a big effort of the russian attacks was racial
alienate blacks
play to trump supporters
it worked
minority turnout was down
white redneck racist up, heck the kkk, supremists and nazis endorsed him!
Re: The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread
This lastest discussion has nothing but a few guys going back and forth after one another with what appears to be the hope that they’ll write something that gives the other a mind changing “epiphany moment”. Well... it’s not going to happen. This is not the type of conversation that makes a thread of value. If this type of discussion doesn’t stop, this thread will be closed.

it may be of no value, granted
but I (and imo the others) are under no illusion that we will change others (or anything)
heck, it`s a struggle for me to make small changes within myself lol

When asked if only single shot guns were allowed would the police and security that guards celebs and political figures also be restricted to single shot firearms they replied with "Hell No!" Well why not, if civilians have to have single shot guns why not LEO`s and such?
Cause, the bad guys will still have high capacity magazines AND innovation will find a way to make single shot guns multi shot. Anyone with a good sense of gun mechanics can make a gun with a trip to Home Depot!
