bemeruca:I’m shocked that some people here don’t even know the difference between homosexuality and transgenderism LMAO This conversation is pointless I swear. Many gays don’t even agree with transgenderism. |

bemeruca:That's because it's a strange concept to me. It's a concept I most probably will never encounter as a Nigerian living in Nigeria. It has no bearing on my life whatsoever. They say gender is a social construct right? And gender is how one feels... Why do they need to fake or construct private parts to go inline with the gender they want to switch to?Who says? Who is the they? To me these are political issues only in the US. Its one of the Democrats vs Republican talking points. I have not heard of such debates among liberals and Conservatives in other liberal countries including highly liberal Scandinavia. We are talking about peoples children. Being gay is different from being transWhose children? Have you ever heard of any Nigerian child being referred to as trans? What we are familiar with here is gayism which has even been considered a crime in our highly religious but hypocritical country. A Nigerian that wants to trans would be taken to a Pastor, Imam or babalawo for deliverance and not a doctor for surgery. |

MentalCase98:Why are you shocked? Yes 90% of Nigerian don't know what a trans mean. The few that does are those that lived or travelled to the US or get their news from US media particularly Fox news or CNN. That's why I am shocked that some people here are so obsessed with trans and LBGTQ issues and cannot issue two sentences without talking about them This conversation is pointless I swear. Many gays don’t even agree with transgenderism.That's why I never involve myself in the heated debates on trans and other related issues, it's pointless. |

MentalCase98:True , big difference between the two. Society has been mainstreamed to accept gaysim/lesbianism being natural. I have a friend who is lezbo, she claims she was born that way, never had a boyfriend.She freely mixes with men friends with straight warning - don't dare seduce me for man I have never known.. Society has been forced to accept same sex relationships. I personally think lesbians can switch to hetero relationships when the right guy shows up. Gays ... That's a different ball game. There is push to transition kids now in another effort to mainstream transgenderism. Usually the 'she' in a gay relationship within a society that wholeheartedly enbraces gays in public might be likely to look feminine . Dressing up ( transvestite) or transitioning outright. As I said the trans movement is political and social. Some want to normalize it and reshape society. I think Calif has law in the works, where child support services can grab your kids if you refuse to accept the gender they identify with or if you refuse to use their preferred name/ pronouns. This is a forceful movement to normalize transgenderism just like they did to homos and lesbians. Why do they need to get married in church, while they know the church preaches same sex marriage in principle? The suicide rate among trans is higher than in the straight category. Stories of trans wanting to be back abound, it took only 72 minutes with a doctor to confuse a preteen kid to start on puberty blockers and later transition. Pure evil in my eyes. Yes I talk about it, because I can see the liberal agenda to ruin society. It's not a Nigerian problem though, it becomes one when international aid is based in how the govt treats queers. It becomes a problem when fund managers invest say member pension funds using ESG baselines instead of the most hopeful, stable and higher yielding investments. |

basilico:You don't seem to understand how Affirmative Action works/worked. Like most things you discuss here. Affirmative Action doesn't take wholly unqualified students and drop them in. It takes students who are mostly qualified, high GPA's and maybe a lower SAT score than the other applicants to fill out the percentage of students they want. Say the avg. Harvard SAT score is a 1500. They may accept someone who scored a 1200, which would still be around the 78th percentile. And the Harvard freshman class is roughly 2000 students with roughly 7% being African American. So, that would be ~140 African American Students in a class. So, let's posit someone got in based on Affirmative Action. That means that student was probably still a better applicant than 78% of the people taking the SAT and given they only accept 140 African Americans a given year, probably one of the best African American applicant that year. So, the question then becomes why didn't DEI help you into an IVY? And before you begin with you live in Nigeria, my g/f went to one of the top 4 schools in the US if not the world and she applied from SS in Nigeria. But, I buried the lead. My high school that I tested in to is a Harvard feeder school. |

wirinet:I hear you. I don't get involved, because the more people make irrational arguments against it, the more it forces me to think about it. And the more I think about the more I don't see a rational argument against it (outside of minors). Religious sensibilities aren't a rational argument in a country with freedom of Religion and a supposed "separation" of Church and State. In fact given this is a politics thread, it should be discussed here in terms of how it effects the election. If people want to discuss transsexuality in general, why not just start a new thread? |

I wonder how people would react if someone forced students to learn how Holocaust survivors learned skills beneficial to them, like how to dig graves. People only think it's ok to rationalize slavery because it's Black people. Further crazy that this is what DeSantis who hoped to be President was comfortable proposing. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/21/us/desantis-florida-black-history-standards.html

IjeBos:There are lots of good universities worldwide, lot of students pass very very well and don't want Harvard. DEI helps here. Those applying specific to Havard would not necessarily be the smartest kids on the block. Say there are those who want Stanford or MIT or Berkeley or UK Oxford or Cambridge. You can only say you re in the 78th percentile of the applicants in that year to that specific program@ Harvard. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by IjeBos(m): 9:58pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
basilico:You're jealousy and stupidity have left you babbling online. You are somehow arguing that people who went to Harvard aren't some of the best applicants and some of the smartest? All IVY league schools try to get the same pool of students and target the same percentage of African American Students in their class and so have similar Affirmative Action Programs. I scored in the 99th percentile in my entrance exams. So I can say I was in the 99th percentile. Your argument is somehow that no Black person can score similarly to white people in standardized tests? I feel sorry for your indoctrinated warped mind. Again, you had the same ability to use DEI to apply to top schools as other Nigerian students from Nigeria who were in my class. Why didn't you get in to any? Spend more time figuring out why you weren't good enough instead of tearing down those who were. |

IjeBos:Did I mention white students anywhere. I said not everyone wants to go to Havard. If you are in the 99th percentile, I consider it to be among those who applied to Havard for a specific program in maybe culinary arts. Those who never applied to Havard but chose Amherst say, you think you scored better than them? You don't know my background, stop assumptions on whether I possess. College degree .Maybe I don't.. You reason like a 5th grader.Your ramblings here give no indication of a Havard education. |

Liberal eco terrorist wants to die in order to save the planet. https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7wd4e/canada-assisted-suicide-climate-anxiety The 68-year-old eco-activist and member of the global group Extinction Rebellion has spent almost his entire life trying to warn people about the climate crisis. He’s been arrested for super-gluing himself to log booms and stopping air traffic on tarmacs. He’s even gone on hunger strikes. Then in 2017, Breen’s doctor diagnosed him with clinical eco-anxiety and biosphere-related depression. It’s an intense fear of entropy related to the existential threat of climate change, and it’s becoming more common. Breen is so genuinely worried about global climate chaos—which has led to destructive and deadly heat waves, floods, and fires around the world—that he often experiences depression, anxious malaise, and panic attacks. |

basilico:I was speaking to my niece today and explaining to her the concept of "not knowing what you don't know". I think it's a concept you should learn as well. You dive into every topic with the slimmest understanding of it and always come out looking stupid-er. The 99th percentile refers to where your score ranked in the SAT, the exam Colleges required (when I applied) for entry and mostly every College applicant took. So, yes, that 99th percentile meant my score was.. better than 98 percent of every other college applicant who took the test that year. Based on the trash you post here, I would have guessed you didn't have a College Degree. As I said posts back, I wondered what schools allowed you to graduate with the limited ability to reason you've shown here. Acknowledging you don't have a degree gives me more faith in Nigerian schools. Anyhow, I'm done with this topic with you. You seem to bring up my schooling more than I do. Why is that? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 5:25am On Jul 23, 2023 |
IjeBos:You brag a lot. You exhibit limited understanding of worldly and social matters. I know about ranking, I have a good college degree, maybe you have convinced yourself that you are intelligent. Simple demonstration of your illogical reasoning. The old cliche " you need to live in America......" . The moment you repeated that one, I realized you are an immbecile that I can just troll. Show me just one post where you made any sense at all. The way you believe lying media, speak highly of Biden when evidence of his crimes is laid bare also demonstrates you lack intelligence,reasoning and understanding. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by IjeBos(m): 5:58am On Jul 23, 2023 |
basilico:Because to gain understanding of something you can do it simply by sitting in your village in Nigeria? Right? Idiot, get a passport, put some stamps in it, visit the countries and understand the culture of the places you repeatedly talk about, diversify your network, diversify the cultures of the people you know, diversify the things you read, use your mind when you do read and take your medication for whatever mental disorder you clearly have. Then, maybe.. maybe you may say something that has some understanding behind it. A post ago, you didn't have a college degree. Now you have a "good" one? Lol. Ok.. |

IjeBos:As a Nigerian I have to laugh at this. Correct me if I'm wrong but I could of sworn that Nigeria during the NOK culture was dealing with Iron since 1500 BCE while their ancestors in Western Europe looked like this. Why do these white supremacists dedicate themselves to being utterly fucking stupid? Jesus christ, I almost dont feel sorry for their race dying out in the states.

basilico:Your post wasn't sarcasm. Just a moment of honesty you now regret. Why don't you tell us about this "good" degree you have and the IVY league school you went to to get it. Since with DEI you clearly could have gotten into one right? basilico:Yes!!!! YES YOU DO! The fact that you don't seem to understand that says everything about you. And so, because we don't have time machines, we find other ways to get as close to that knowledge as possible. It's the reason archaeologists spend millions doing their digs for artifacts, paleontologists dig for dinosaur bones and anthropologists live with the people they study. It's the reason subject matter experts exist who dedicate their lives to understanding Roman culture by pouring over historical texts, studying Latin and Greek, so they can come as close as possible to understanding works as it was written at the time. When I was in highschool I had to learn Latin so I could study some texts that were originally written in Latin with the understanding that even someone's slight translation of a word may change the text's meaning. I can't even believe I had to write that. But that is the difference between you and I. I understand the limits of my understanding. I am comfortable doing my extensive research before speaking, fact checking the shit I post, knowing who is a subject matter expert and who is just some random dumbass on twitter and if I can't I don't opine. You don't, so you post bullshit here that is repeatedly wrong and that would have taken you 1 minute to fact check on google or a minute for a reasonably smart person to think if it made sense. Read Malcolm Gladwell's outliers and you'll maybe begin to understand expertise and what it takes to get it. |

IjeBos:With your 'vast ' experience of going down and dirty to weasel out the facts separate from fiction ,this is a timeline of Joe Biden criminal family. https://oversight.house.gov/the-bidens-influence-peddling-timeline/ The House Oversight Committee has the receipts. Giuliani said the evidence in public is way more than the one used to take down the five Mafia families in New York. I presume you will dismiss it as fake.

TookDownYourMum:Right. Unfortunately didn't study Nigerian History. But being utterly stupid is a trend in the US right now esp. in the MAGA movement. One of the members of the committee who wrote these reforms (unfortunately a lost black woman) thanked God for slavery, claiming “if it wasn’t for slavery, I might be somewhere in Africa worshiping a tree". Tell me what tree is that you worship? Just kidding obviously. |

IjeBos:Humans benefit from the suffering of other humans. That's how it has always been. Slavery was something not unique to the united states. It was everywhere. Your focus on the United States only shows victimhood for no apparent reason. People who died in flights from the 1940s to date did not die for nothing. Their deaths have made it safer today to fly. When someone says if it was not for their deaths, we would not be travelling. It is not that they are celebrating death, it is just that the suffering and efforts of others have put them in a better situation today. I don't expect you to get it... You cannot tell when basilico was being sarcastic. |
