Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

Let the idiots believe he always felt like a woman on the inside . . . when he won an Olympic Decathlon. ...you know, because Bruce Jenner knows, that muscling his way across a finish line is what it feels like to be a woman in this world. Besides, he's on TV. TV is idiocracy authority.
You are never going to "fit in" at "those" parties until you learn to PRETEND.
and that would be a real shame.

Nope. It takes courage to TELL THE TRUTH even though it isn't PC and to fight the social brainwashing and pressure to go along with the popular lies.
Even if it is futile.

Don't quite see how that story works in that reply, kind of a stretch. Maybe if you post it again?


back to the courage thing:
island is being hassled and called names in this thread because he is speaking his mind and people do not like that.

He is being attacked by more open-minded folks who insist he pretends this whole bruce jenner thing is perfectly OK, just like they do. Pretend I mean.

I find that ironic.

I checked the definition of open-minded and inclusive and tolerant.
What they DON'T mean is that each individual has to think (and act) exactly like the group does in order for the group to tolerate them. But it goes both ways.

That let's me off the hook. I did not claim to be any of those things towards bruce jenner so I can still tell the truth! That works pretty good.
If I claimed to be tolerant and inclusive and open-minded ot all things that would put a lit of pressure on me to go along with the crowd and pretend.

But since i say that I am NOT tolerant or open-minded towards twisted and perverted lies and sins of society, That kicks me down a certain amount of freedom.
Except for the insults but consider the source. Right?

Plus i have some thick skin for the most part ..... or for at least some part ..... OK at least occasionally .... all right only when it comes to open-minded tolerant people who don't-like* me because of my beliefs or O'pinions.

The best-est part is when those open-minded inclusive tolerant people are shown what's behind the curtain and they hafta climb off the horse.


* Hate is such an ugly word, I hate it.

It's not your beliefs or opinions, it's just you.

I do wonder if people would still pretend to be okay with an old geezers life choices if the OLD WHITE GUY decided that he was actually always a young Black woman... from 1960-something(groovy baby). So he fro'd out his hair, had the tit surgeries (Nat Geo style, flat and saggy) painted his body black, and started moaning about I'z aint got nuf F'Ried chik'n an watamellon.

Point is, wacky old Gramps there (Jenner) is fetishizing a stereotype -in this case, a younger white woman. Yet as f'up as that is the real story is the societal sickness of those who trip over each other to show how "accepting" they are. ...of the freak-show, and absolutely reject any who don't go along with the Let's all Pretend this is just fine crowd.

What are you guys, Lemmings? . Metrosexual drones? . Leftists? (excuse my redundancy)

I'd say it was likely Caitlyn driving that day.

Yeah, if he was massively negligent, and afraid of prison, his purposely confusing his sex/gender will have the PC twits wondering which prison... for men, or for women?

Of course they will conclude that a special prison should be built for special not that there's anything wrong with it people.

Just what I was thinking.

This thread has had 10,181 views and 196 people have decided they need to chime into the discussion of something that many of us have tried hard to care less about and failed.

Porsche just won LeMans for the 17th time using rocket science that, at least on paper and in testing has no chance of holding up for a grueling 24 hour race.

4446 views, 178 people joined the discussion.

The LeMans thread is free-falling towards the dungeon, while this thread continues to be in the top one-third of the first page, where it's been for a couple - three weeks now, with no sign of losing any momentum....


This isn't meant to be judgmental by any means, but to me it sure is an interesting comparison..

I'm so glad I don't watch network teevee anymore....

edit... that ted2 trailer is a riot!

On the social level, fine:
1). I've rented garage space from a 'woman' who looked like Iggy Pop but with orange hair and tits. Terrible business person but one of the most open hearted individuals I've ever run into in life. She gave it all and more to help people trying to find a place to work on their projects after hours.

2). Rented to a 'woman' who lived with another woman. All power to them. Not great tenants and slovenly as can be, but decent people all the same.

This is one of the still unexplored definitions of society.
Permanent or not, time required, partnership situation, etc remains to be hashed out.

Yeah, I don't know that anyone is even implying that gays, trans-wtf-ever, or whatever are not kind usefull people. It's just that some of us are sick of hearing how we must accept that ones' sex (M/F) is a squishy social construct, able to be redefined on a say-so. --that is delusional, if not straight-up insanity.

The link I posted today is about a white woman who has been living as a Black woman. And did so to gain career advancement - with the NACP, no less. Who here is going to say, well, that's fine, if that makes her happy. ?
