There is one thing you are correct about in this thread through all the nonsense, and that's that I need a break. I'm already well into breaking my resolution of disengaging from arguments with people who are either completely ignorant of the topic at hand, refuse to employ critical thinking skills regarding said topic, or just flat out lack the mental capacity to entertain it. I've been better about it in person, but ###### if this stupid little enclave of Tigernet hasn't kept bringing me back.

I'm wasting my time on a board arguing with people who consume TikTok and Rogan and think they're informed, and I'm sitting here thinking I could get them to read a well-researched article in NY Times or WSJ or Cato and actually have a discussion about it. I couldn't get them to read a book that didn't have pictures in it even if I paid them let alone entertain some insight that maybe the issue is more complicated than the YouTube video they watched. They think anecdotal evidence from their bumfuck town somehow can be presented as undeniable fact, and they parrot the idiocy they've heard on a podcast because ###### if they can be troubled to do a little research. THOSE are the context clues I pick up.

Or they spend months railing against doctors and scientists at an institution but then, without a batting an eye, cite the same institution for a survey of teenagers as fact and law.

And when they lose their temper because their argument is getting dashed, they turn to the stupid response I've heard so many times in my life, "deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr yOu DoN't HaVe KiDs..."

Now I see why so many posters just chill on the Lunge and stay the F away from this board. There's where I've ###### up so often and for so long, and I don't really know why. That, and ascribing what I thought to be intelligence to some posters here and there only to watch them trumpet out something absurd.

I should know better. As Tiggity said recently, stupidity is now the mandate in this nation. We literally have people defending Nazi salutes at a presidential inauguration and I just sit here wondering W T F they were doing in their high school history or government classes back in the day.

There's no point in trying to sway people for the better in any realm now. Y'all won. I concede. Full steam ahead into idiocracy.

You're going full on FOX News 77 year old.

There are a lot more kids saying they're gay (or whatever) at 10, 12, 14, or older, because it's 1) it's trendy and 2) you don't get stuffed in a dumpster and have the rest of your grade school life ruined for saying so. It doesn't mean they're actually gay, or that these are permanent statements and signed affidavits. It means they're figuring out who they are, and the amout of kids even questioning this isn't 25%, I promise, at least in the sample of schools and several thousands of kids around here.

If any of my 3 kids ends up being gay, I won't love them any less, if that's truly who they are. Am I supposed to stop them from exploring themselves and the world around them? Stop them from socializing? They damn sure aren't having sex yet, but when that time comes, should I just make a "NO GAY SEX" decree? I don't even understand your endgame here.

What other parents' children do doesn't impact my kids unless it's bullying or something. Do we believe in parents' rights? Or do we not?

Unacceptable.

No, they're not.

It's easy to discern from the context clues in your posts over the years

It's a poor point, and a poorly stated one as well

Yes, they are. I know reddit has you convinced all of this shid is fine

They're encouraging them to identify its LGBTQ to get social

Have you encountered just one case of that?

I know two personally, one of them is my cousins wife

That sounds like a "your cousin" or "your cousin's wife" problem.

Well it is, but it's also child abuse IMO

This is pretty hilarious.

I'm not even necessarily talking about the gay kids

Re: I'm not even necessarily talking about the gay kids

Social media, regular media, teachers, the general culture

Changing the channel must be hard.

Oh. So, like,

I identified as heterosexual in 6th grade. Was that too early?***

Ah, I still remember Miss Hull, my 6th grade health teacher.
