    Because there are all sorts of reasons someone might not be able to win a tournament, and not all of them should be treated the same. So are you trying to divert from the points I raised or something?

    Guilty or Not Guilty - Teacher Education

    But you're either missing, or dodging the point. If two examples of teachers "sexualizing children" is an indictment against the US education system or public school teachers in general, by the same token (and to a much, much larger degree) the tens of thousands of cases of kids being groomed...

    Yes, that's correct. It depends on what "category of people" we're talking about.

    That is precisely the point I'm making in my earlier post. Is it fair that I'm excluded from competing in a local amateur tournament because of my sex? Ah, but if I'm allowed in, then so are all other men, which means the tourney would become all men. So let's have a second tier, right? But...

    Evolution not God

    Right, because after a young "pure" virgin girl watches a soldier slit the throats of her mom and dad, and run a sword through the belly of her baby brother, she will gladly marry and have sex with that soldier! That's "God's way" after all. :rolleyes:

    As I suspected, you simply do not see any value in women's sports. That's a shame. Nope, never said that. Nope, that's not true at all. Your absurd strawman is noted. Another strawman. As I suspected, you would happily eliminate women's sports. That's a shame. It seems to me that you...

    Evolution not God

    Honestly, having grown up around them, reading their news outlets, lurking in their forums, etc., IMO fundamentalists are some pretty messed up people.

    Guilty or Not Guilty - Teacher Education

    So @Kenny if the two cases you cited in this thread are an indictment against the US education system, what do the tens of thousands of cases of children being groomed and abused in Christian settings say about Christianity?

    So here's a real-life scenario about "fairness"..... As you can tell from my posts, I've spent much of my life playing, watching, and coaching sports...IOW, I'm a pretty decent athlete. My current favorite sport is golf, which I've played for 25+ years and am quite good at. Last summer, I...

    Evolution not God

    You didn't answer the question. Why do you think they took only the virgin girls as the spoils of war? Are only virgin girls "pure"?

    A Double Standard?

    Regarding the OP, Rachel Maddow made some good points on her show last night. First, she points out that indicting, charging, arresting, trying, and even locking up political figures is absolutely nothing new in the US. Prominent examples include Vice President Spiro Agnew who was...

    Citing staffing issues and political climate, North Idaho hospital will no longer deliver babies.

    Apparently that's all the conservatives have....imply that everyone associated with the hospital is lying, but offer zero evidence to support the accusation. I guess this has now become yet another piece in the right-wing alternate reality.

    Evolution not God

    Are only virgin girls "pure"? Virgin boys aren't? Why exactly do you think they took only the virgin girls as spoils of war?

    Evolution not God

    Fairly typical fundamentalist response....."I don't see how taking only young virgin girls as spoils of war = sexual slavery." Yet another reason why I've never been a Christian.

    Remember the World Basketball League, where everyone had to be 6'5" and under? I actually went to a game (cheap courtside seats) once. It wasn't very entertaining and the league flopped in about 4 years. I hate to be a broken record, but it's because they don't value or really understand sports.

    To make the point that if we eliminate women's sports and just have "sports", all the top levels (including the secondary levels like minor leagues) will be all men. Again, are you aware of why women's sports were created in the first place? ???????? "Equitable competition" is why women's...

    Citing staffing issues and political climate, North Idaho hospital will no longer deliver babies.

    What specifically is the media doing? And where did you answer my question about the hospital lying?
  18. Jose Fly

    Citing staffing issues and political climate, North Idaho hospital will no longer deliver babies.

    Huh? Are you not even aware that the media is merely reporting on a news release that the hospital put out themselves? So again, do you think the people at the hospital are lying? If so, do you have any actual evidence for that accusation?

    January 6th, Just What Was It?

    I'm sure there's "exculpatory footage" of them walking down a hallway, somewhere. Tucker will be on it!

    I think it's more that they just don't know what they're talking about. Plus, for whatever reason a lot of progressives hate sports. It can get pretty absurd at times. I actually had one progressive tell me that the only reason the WNBA exists is because the men in the NBA don't want to be...
