Federal Government in a Surplus
TreeBeard replied to Queenmandy85's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Isn’t it “social engineering” to outlaw freedoms, like marriage equality for gay people, in favour of “traditional” or “biblical” marriage? The state is enforcing, through laws, a moralistic view. Can’t get much more engineered than that. Whereas the opposite view, that marriage is available to whomever wants it, is increasing liberty for its citizens. -
Biden's Hateful Screed

This sounds like a conspiracy. -

So they plead guilty…. and yet you still claim their innocence. Is there anything that could have happened for you to believe they were actually guilty of the crimes that they plead guilty and admitted to committing? -

That’s not how this works…. I can’t ponder what is in that brain of yours that would make you say I am for social engineering. “You hate dogs” ”why do you say that about me?” ”Why don’t you think about it”? -
No…. Wait…. I think I got the sides mixed up…. My side cheats, but your side wins, yet …. No…. Your side loses, but my side doesn’t cheat, but your side accuses me of cheating, but in 2020 my side said you cheated and then you won…. That’s bad, I think. Let’s look at what I said originally…. Ok…. This seems simple enough. To paraphrase: No accusations without evidence. And conspiracies are dumb. What was confusing to you?

I read your link…. There’s some really interesting stuff in there…. Most people would consider it a fringe and crackpot Christian site promoting moral panic about gay people. I read a lot of concern about anal sex, but also concern about oral sex! There’s also talk of gay people and their tendency to put gerbils and flashlights in their rectums. Do you consider oral sex as immoral? Why are you obsessed with who is having anal sex? -
The Opioid Toll that Alberta Tried to Hide

Where did I deny that it occurred? -

I find arguments like this to support the idea of government supply of illicit drugs, not as a counter to it. Let’s ensure the lacing by drug dealers can’t happen. -
How come God was so concerned with women being virgins before they were married, but never whether the man was a virgin before marriage?

How am I “into social engineering”? -

1 - What did he call them? 2 - Genrally speaking, I don’t think they care about what’s true…. they follow a personality that appeals to their grievances. But, when you don’t care about what’s true, are the grievances real? -
Can I order something online on a Sunday? Is that considered shopping?

Biden's Hateful Screed
TreeBeard replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I didn’t see or hear Biden’s speech. But, my guess is that it was probably pretty lame compared with the lunacy that Trump spewed on a regular basis. Probably talked about the “rule of law” and “democratic principles” and other radical stuff. Am I right? BTW, nowhere in what @WestCanMan quoted did Biden call Trump a fascist. Is there actually a direct quote, or is he taking some liberties with the truth as he is apt to do? -

You suddenly have an issue with name-calling now? -

You have it completely backward. Laws should be based on harm to others, or harm to society and the principle of equality, not what you or I think is immoral. Your way is how we have intrusive government into the bedrooms of its citizens. -

Just the opposite. When gay marriage was disallowed, the state was imposing morals onto citizens. -
Absolutely! It was ignored.

I suppose you can moralize about a woman’s poor decisions all you like. I suppose we could interrogate them to ensure it was rape, or ensure everything was possible was done to prevent it…. Who do you think should uncover the truth about why the woman is pregnant? The cops? A government bureaucrat? Should she take a lie detector test?
