Diversity of innate characteristics is still more important than diversity of opinion. Inclusion is more important than excellence.
That said, the two party system in America does more to stifle diversity of opinion from all over the political and philosophical spectrum than any affirmative action program ever could; so what you say about Democrats in America is partly true.

Spanish lesson here. When I studied legal interpreting, a 'misdemeanor' was translated into Spanish as 'delito' which translates back into English as 'infraction', while the cognate to 'crime' 'un crimen' specifically refers to 'a felony' and 'un criminal' as 'a felon.' But by your American English definition, every person who speeds or jaywalks or watches a bootleg DVD is 'a criminal'. You really sound ridiculous to anybody who is bilingual and understands how law and morality are two distinct things.
apparently , some bright spark has created a new sexuality - super-straight - and posted it on twitter.
it's a new sexuality that means people who are exclusively attracted to cisgender males or females.
it was made because some people are saying you aren't straight if you don't date transgender people.
Just don't decide to go a whoremongering on the Mexican border after a few drinks if you are super straight. Your beer goggles might get you in trouble.
i just watched the oprah interview.
i know that many view them with little interest as just entitled wastes of space and i get that.. however, the description of how they were "trapped" and silenced and forced into perpetuating the system with little or no personal freedom rang bells for me.
they are effectively shunned, estranged and disparaged by their family and cut off from support.
Come on Seabreeze...Every economist knows that most years Blue States are donor states. The Beltway needs California more than California needs the Beltway. Don't give us that relief money and we're justified before the international community in seceding.
"for the preaching of the cross is unto them that perish foolishness but unto us which are saved, it is the power of god.
" for that reason we say in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit.. is melodically chanting that verse a form persecution?
(and yes i can carry a tune).

i've discussed this before but not in this context alone.. i remember being about 14 years old, 1994 and starting a study in the uk with a charming muslim from the congo.
he was a very pleasant middle aged guy with a big family, two wives, always the most hospitable.
at the time the watchtower had a book on many religions, a thick red book called 'mankind's search for god' so i would read and discuss the section on islam with him.. interestingly, but not surprising, many details they had were wrong about islam and he would explain how and correct me.
Islam is the perfect religion for the ex-JW because it is the only one that PAYS new converts compensation for the loss of community that comes from converting. The Muslims expect the other religion to shun its apostates, just as Islam does to those who apostatize.
That said, the only form of Islam that really works within Western Culture in a way that promotes good citizenship within a secular framework is Ismaili. You give the Agha Khan your tithes, he lives the life of an English Aristocrat playboy 10% of that while giving 90% of his millions to various charities that help everybody, not just Muslims. Not my cup of tea, Your Highness, but I won't turn down your charity either and God bless the Ismailis.
* first i would like to say.....i apologize to my son's everyday for getting them involved in this cult because i took so much from them as far as celebrating holidays go.
they are now 22 and 17 great kids.
they want nothing to do with the cult.
The further generally Northwest you go in Europe, the more pagan the traditions become. I personally believe in humbly and respectfully giving Yuletide back to the Norse Neopagans, and replacing the Christmas tree with handpainted Nativity triptychs and moving it all to January 6, that way I have an excuse for belated Christmas gifts.
so the liberals in all their intelligence or lack of it, have put the homeless up in hotels and are set to force hotels to take them in while giving them free drugs and food.
all they are doing is reinforcing bad behavior.
liberals destroy and conservatives have to clean up the mess.
Does this mean that Commiefornia is free to secede and keep all it's tech money and Hollywood money in California instead of going to Senatoral pork barrel foreign aid to States that hate us cause they ain't us?
looks like a combination of plaquenil and antibiotic azithromycin can be used to treat covid-19 infected individuals!

I hope they don't cause psychosis like that antimalarial mephloquine.
That stuff might as well be angel dust.
