Thanks to you both, I appreciate the thoughtfully presented and enlightening information.

I'm not talking about sexuality or about being gay.
I'm talking about people who realize that their psychological\emotional gender doesn't match their physical gender.
How can we say that nothing...

I did say people were born that way, I affirmed that; and don't really see how my statement can be fairly interpreted any other way.
Fairly, I say.

And yeah, if I firmly believe that I am in...

We don't choose who we find attractive or in what ways we find them attractive - that just happens without any decision making on our part.
We may choose who we get involved with based upon various...

I was really thinking more along the lines of words like, "egotistical" and "maniac", or "egotistical maniac".
Stuff like that.

My Uber-Trump fan coworker mentioned yesterday that he believes...

Thanks for that explanation.
I'm not attacking or trying to be callous or dismissive of anyone, but I recognize it might appear that way.
I understand that for some people the psyche and the body...

But just think of all the words he has fully redefined and taken to new heights.

I'm all for doing what makes you happy, but if you honestly believe that you can change your gender through any means you are denying reality.
Transgendered, gender-fluid, etc.; are just indicators...

Yep.
And we did that with knives in our pockets or on our belts, and rifles and shotguns in our vehicles in the parking lot.
At school.

The way the cops worded that still makes me wonder about a...

Sort of as anticipated:

An 18-year-old has been arrested in connection with the Arden Fair Mall shooting on Black Friday that left two teenage brothers dead.


Sacramento police identified the...

That's surprising.
Totally unlike him to make it all about himself.

Yeah - it could be anything, and I haven't heard anything about the shooter being caught or ID'd.
I'm going to take a wild guess and speculate that there was some kind of verbal or physical...

Y'all need to think beyond your own personal concerns and consider those of others.
What about Colbert and Fallon and Noah for crying out loud - they still need something to talk about for the next...

The Uber-Trump fan I work with still thinks he's holding some ace up his sleeve that proves the election was fraudulent; that he will play it at some perfect moment.
He further states that the...

Seems the two dead were brothers - their aunt is asking the public to speak up about what they saw:
...

Doesn't he own a golf course in Scotland?
He's going to have a little more time in his hands starting next month...

Wonder if it was gang-related or just some thugs who don't care about the innocent people who might get hurt while they try to act like they think men should act.
Reminds me of the two incidents...

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

RIP, Hal.
I liked some of his stuff, still have a CD from the 90's.

As in, "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature"?
RIP, Dena.

Biden is going to "shut down the virus".
That's a fine plan along the lines of, "Make America Great Again".

With the upsurge in new cases not just in the US but around the globe, I become even...

Ironically, "shut down the virus" is pretty much the kind of flippant, off the cuff, "how-you-gonna-do-that" remark I would have expected from Darth Donnie.
Now that the transition seems to be...

Joe actually says that he's not going to shut down the economy - he's going to shut down the virus.

Now that alone is why Joe deserves to be President.
All these months, all the toll and turmoil,...

Herd immunity - through exposure or through vaccination - probably is the only thing that will stop it.
Slowing it down through masks, social distancing, etc. will not make it go away.
As soon as...

The mask will impede the expelled droplets/moisture/germs that are larger than the pores of the mask, but not those that are smaller.
Being a 6 or 8 feet away from someone who sneezes without a mask...

Like elsewhere, the daily number of new cases here is probably higher than at the beginning of this thing.

I go to the gym every day.
Masks are a pretty rare sight within the gym.
People aren't...

Too young.
Losing kids like that would threaten my sobriety.

It's equally funny that the Dems and libs are suddenly interested in "healing" and "unity" after four years of advocating anything but.
I'm also curious to see if they want to continue to throttle...

No need to shut it down, maybe change the name to Ex-President Trump or something.
I imagine we'll still have some things to say about him as time goes on.

Thank you, I will read it shortly.
Just judging from that excerpt, it sounds like he must have just completed one of those advanced male sensitivity training workshops that were all the rage back in...

Lots more there being wasted besides paper.

I think most of the loyalists will support and humor him for a short time more to see if he can produce anything akin to evidence of fraud.
If he can't muster anything to cast doubt pretty quickly,...

I'm going to call that a "progressive attitude" in the same sense that some social or political philosophies are now called "progressive".
And no, I wouldn't hit a woman even if she smacks me upside...

I think they are all primarily concerned with themselves, be that for egotistical purposes or for financial purposes; or for both.
I don't picture Joe being a firm or decisive hand at the helm.
I...

Sounds like she has mental issues.
She probably shouldn't have even had a driver's license, but that's Texas.

I saw where a bunch of Biden supporters were protesting in front of some guy's house because he hung a dummy from a noose with a sign on it that said, "Sleepy Joe".
Some of those people were...

Granted I don't get out too much these days aside from things like going to Kroger or Lowes or something; but almost everyone I see in public here is wearing a mask.
Oddly, we can't have a...

Here in my state, the virus was spreading like wildfire.
The Gov first issued mask mandates in certain counties that were harder hit, then later statewide.
Transmission slowed considerably...

RIP, Norm.
He was a funny guy - I remember my parents laughing at his stuff back in the 60's.

RIP, Alex.
Cancer sucks.

That "resign-Pence-pardon" ploy sounds like it could be pretty spot on to me.
I've wondered for some time if he cared less about holding the office than about having the legal protections that come...

I think he'll take all his toys and go home after he exhausts whatever legal challenges he "reasonably" can.
He really doesn't have any choice in the matter.
That's provided that any recounts...

It will be interesting to see how Trump responds.
I'm not really sure it's over yet...

Biden has won per the Associated Press.
I'm just hanging out now waiting for Trump to concede, offer his congratulations and pledge his support to the new administration.

It's the mail in ballots that he might be able to weaponize - if they understand how that works.
Throughout my years as a mailer I've handled voter registration lists for various cities, counties...

I expect lots of recounts - or at least trying to force lots of recounts.
I read an article this morning stating that Trump supporters in a couple of areas were demanding that the ballot counting...

I thought until last night it would be somewhat decisive one way or the other, probably for Biden.
Where I vote, I usually get there 15-30 minutes after the polls open and wait less than 10 minutes...

Very cool info - thanks for sharing.

Buried, not burned.
RIP, 007.

I used to work with a guy who seemed to think of himself as an uber-Christian.
He had been married and divorced I think six or seven times and was a Deacon in his church.
He seemed to have found a...
