  Common sense on Jockland's gender Bill

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  nicola sturgeon's daft plan to introduce a gender bill which allows anyone aged 16 and over to legally change gender without a doctor's diagnosis of gender dysphoria has rightly been stopped by pm rishi sunak.. under the rules of devolvement, the uk government can overrule holyrood if the pm so chooses.. lots of predictable howling form the scotch nuts, with ridiculous claims that rishi is trying to organise a fight with holyrood.

  of course, it's actually the other way round - the snp has been trying to pass this gender bill in order to drive a wedge between scotland and the rest of the uk.. sensibly, rishi has pulled rank on sturgeon and stopped her nonsense.. nicola sturgeon needs to know her place ....

  There is no such thing as 'gender' outside of linguistics. Just like our primate cousins, humans are a sexually dimorphic species.

  Trans rights clash with women's rights.

  The UK 2004 Act acknowledges that gender dysphoria is a medical disorder that requires the judgement and advice of qualified practitioners. The SNP Act treats it like a lifestyle choice to be celebrated. It offered no protection to women-only spaces or to organisations and clubs that legally limit services or membership to biological females. I doubt most Scots wanted this debacle.

  SNP are ideologically motivated buffoons.

  Salvation: Faith alone OR works?

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses run to the book of james staying that faith without works is dead.

  they completely ignore the teachings of paul and hold onto james.

  .. it would appear that there is a contradiction between james' teaching and paul's teaching, yet the bible tells us to rightly divide the word of truth.

  My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

  12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.

  15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

  Fisherman We are on page 19 and I'm still waiting for you to explain the central point of this thread.

  1. Any Israelite or any alien living among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth... anyone who eats it must be cut off.
  

  2. If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who ... eats some of the carcass ... must wash his clothes and bathe with water.

  Kill and eat unbled meat and YOU DIE

  Eat unbled meat found already dead and YOU WILL HAVE A BATH

  Explain this and stop obfuscating.

  at a recent xjw conference, software engineer fred williams spoke on the subject of information that is found in nature.

  it is a fascinating topic.

  That's a very kind offer Sea Breeze thank you.

  It has been many years since I even thought about biological evolution so I am way out of practice in debating the topic. I will have a look at the channel though.

  Did you read Gruar's paper in full? It is not a difficult read and from what you have said so far you have either not red it at all or you are wilfully misrepresenting him.

  What is your response to the Onion Test?

  “I would be quite proud to have served on the committee that designed the E. coli genome. There is, however, no way that I would admit to serving on a committee that designed the human genome. Not even a university committee could botch something that badly.” - David Penny (molecular biologist)

  Unless you commit to reading Gruar's article in full and responding to the Onion Test you are wasting my time,

  Sea Breeze - do you write science for the Watchtower by any chance? You use the same dishonest technique of misquoting and misleading.

  The New Scientist article that you imply supports ENCODE actually explains at length why it is bullshit. The article is called 'At least 75 per cent of our DNA really is useless junk after all'

  Didn't mention that did you?

  You obviously didn't read his paper.

  ENCODE is the victory of self-promotion over science. It's utterly dishonest and knowingly so.

  Figure out the onion test and get back to me.

  ENCODE is wilfully dishonest. We have dealt with this in great detail in the past.
