the Watchtower interpretation of "marrying in the Lord" presages doom. If women marry non believers, they expose themselves to challenges of the "truth" and becoming spiritually weak, and therefore having their children exposed to being tempted by "Satan's world". On the other hand, marrying a believer leaves half the women unmarried. Either way, they lose because their little indoctrinated "converts" will be cut in half too. To make matters worse, consider that 66 % of the little ones will quit when they grow up. What you have then is doom. They were right after all. The end is just around the corner.

After watching the video, I had to reconsider my position. These guys (LGBT/SJW) are not helping their cause. They are asking for more Donald Trumps to be raised.
Please stop it. You are painful to watch. Enjoy the gains and know when to stop.
Same sex marriage: YES. Laws against unjust discrimination: YES. But this. You are not endearing yourself to the very people you need to support your cause.
Please don't set us all back one generation or two.

"Legislation of language..." Cofty
I wouldn't be surprised that the word "nigger" can trigger lawsuits left and right. Legislation of language is a modern way to control verbal bullying and abuse. Verbal abuse, unfortunately is much harder to determine than physical abuse, so we are forced to use the ""victim" description of abuse. I find the whole thing a bit on the trivial side, but I am willing to please the "victim" if it doesn't cost me anything. And the only cost is that I have to memorize few new words. Quite easy

".3 is transgender"
They just need 47.8 of support from non transgender to get a majority. Then we will have to make small additions to our lexicon. No biggy here.
If Anthony Morris wants to be called AM the third, I will call him that...I lose nothing, I gain nothing. Actually, in this case I do gain a chance to poke fun at someone.

" do you think a society should evolve against the express wishes of the majority of its members?"
I never said or implied that. New generations shift the composition of majorities. I live in California, where legalization of marijuana and same sex marriage were very unpopular just a decade ago. Well, that's changed to the opposite side. Our children will reject our values, or at least refine them.
"Liberalism, just like the global economy and technology, is a powerful and unstoppable force..." "that sound ominous."
Perhaps, but the evidence from the last 60 years confirms that those three things have momentum that no single democratic government has been able to contain. That's way they go along.

Languages and societies evolve. Get used to it. Conservatives will always be few decades behind.
Adding few words to the language... no big deal.
Your boss requires you to use certain words...no big deal. Comply or find another boss; use your freedom
At some point the professor says that government is legislating how to think... that's silly. Governments are just setting rules of behavior, not thought, to accommodate to people who have been rejected by our religious society for millennia. Liberalism, just like the global economy and technology, is a powerful, unstoppable force. Resistance only delays, but won't change the course.
