Protests, demonstrations, subluxations?
Like why? I must be an alien…could not picture myself in that situation. Well maybe the latter…

As to why it is a bad idea…it would draw additional attention and scrutiny of the trans folks. It would be like a freak show. So instead of attaining equality it would be more along the lines of Plessy Ferguson separate but equal.
A better idea?
First i would insist on scientific evidence that there is an advantage to those who transition…[Read more]

Bad idea.

Simon says: All of that is true in my opinion. But we can’t just let someone win all the time in sports because we feel sorry for them. That’s not what sports is all about. It’s not even fair to trans people.
How prevalent is it? We let shit go that is unfair in so many ways that i can’t muster faux concern for this shit.

No doubt it is an issue to those who are impacted but beyond that is an anti-lefty in your face issue. It is so insignificant in the scheme of things. Of course i have far less sympathy and far more antipathy for the progressives…

It seems like girls and boys are on a similar plane athletically when very young. But once the testosterone kicks in things change. I remember being afraid of Milly. She would kick the boys up and down and terrorize us.

“It is more about reacting against trans-athletes daring to compete and break traditional norms than genuinely caring about girls sports.”

Men are better athletes? Clearly. Even in games that involve coordination men excel. Only thing i am aware in which women are perhaps on an equal footing is ultra marathon, the ultimate physical contest.
So if a man transitions to become a female that person has an advantage competing in sports against women? Yes.
Should i care? I don’t. And i…[Read more]

Enco i don’t eat meat any longer. But i do miss Jewish deli. Corned beef, brisket, tongue sandwiches on rye bread. Yum! As to whether Jews follow dietary laws? Only the nuts do. Or the ones who are keeping the peace/perpetuating Jewish culture. Dairy and meat? Who cares? Squid for a Yid? Put on the lid.
I think we all enjoy trying different…[Read more]

Enco, ya ever hear or read the Jewish/Goyish schtick? Ya know, questions asking to identify which item is Jewish and which is non. Black Cherry soda? Jewish Crackers and cheese? goyish. Tits? goyish Titties? Jewish.
So raisin/cinnamon is goyish. Not that there is anything wrong with that. There is a transformation from the purity of a real Jewish…[Read more]

Sunni and Shia & onomatopoeia. The bagelic circle of life.
i have heard about that peculiar water in NY city. I have it from good sources in my best Washington Irving that the water used to make those apex bagels is drawn from the piscatorial and pristine waters of the East river. Additionally, the proximity to the Catskills is in part a cause…[Read more]

Shifting alliances. Migrating mind viruses. And the eternal circle of life symbolism in a bagel is only celebrated in a New York bagel with cream cheese, raw onion and lox. Please do not use smear and creem cheese in same sentence. It takes me to pap smear. There are rules to follow in decorating one’s bagel prior to consumption. OK? Do not mix…[Read more]

Davis how many times do i have to explain that humans are silly putty. In antebellum south Whites are almost universally slavers and see Blacks as inferior (even true among American intellectuals and abolitionists) and it is good sport to come out for a lynching. In Nazi Germany nearly all Germans are in the cult of Hitler. In war after war after…[Read more]

From Robert:
You can say that about Einstein as well. You go to any engineering, accounting, medical or law firm and find out who has the real knowledge and is capable of making the correct decisions, it’s the ancient professionals. That is why they get paid so much. They are worth it and when they retire all that know-how just walks out the d…[Read more]

Thanks Robert.
I have since learned that his speech impediment is common knowledge. I used to wonder what else is common knowledge and yet i am in the dark. Then one day i walked into a church. Eye opener to secret life.
I wanted to base my professional assessment (ahem, cough cough) on actual evidence so i randomly chose Obama’s inauguration.…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 years, 11 months agoSimon, you wrote, “The problem with religious morality is that although it’s an accurate representation of human morality.”
Is there such a thing, a default human morality, that is innate? Or are we hairy apes so malleable in our beliefs and behavior that there is no such thing as an accurate representation of human morality?

I don’t think Biden has a speech impediment. He speaks haltingly and in a soft tone. Can only speak with oomph in brief bursts. Struggles to find words. There is an unmistakable decline in his affect and speech. Has he declined cognitively? Does he have early dementia? I don’t know. But if he is elected again i would think the VP will become the…[Read more]

Watching Biden this morning i gotta say if i did not know he’s da prez and was under the impression that he was early stage alzheimer’s and living in assisted care i would not think twice about it.
