Subj : where ya been? To : Gregory Deyss From : Lee Lofaso Date : Mon Sep 09 2024 22:48:38 Hello Gregory, GD>>> social contract? GD>>> It's called Parenting. Children learn what is acceptable from their GD>>> parents. RS>> That's a load. If that were true, you wouldn't be out there complaining RS>> about the trans movement or kids being sissies or whatever gets your RS>> panties in a bunch because parents like you would be teaching your young RS>> sons (and daughters) what "real" men do. None of today's youth problems RS>> would exist. GD> When I was a boy there is no social outrage. No Trans Flags and no Rainbow GD> flags replacing the American Flags in classrooms. In times past, folks did not talk about such things. In todays world, folks are open and much more honest. That is the difference between then, and now. IOW, gays and lesbians, along with trans, have always been there. But swept under the rug, as if they were some kind of incurable disease. That was what our society wanted back in those days. So that is what it got back. Until Barack Obama came along and gave everybody hope. And change. That is what killed eveerything. Gays and lesbians have been around since time immemorial. Even those who are pretending to be one or the other have been around since the very beginning. And those gays and lesbians (along with trans) will still be around for ages to come. After all, that is what we are all here for. Hope and change. For all it is worth. The founders of the Boy Scouts of America were gay. Does that mean that all boy scouts are gay? Or that many in the past were gay? What does it matter anyway? Scouting is scouting, regardless of whether a kid is a boy, a girl, or trans. Which might explain wny the boy scouts changed its name to scouting. Just plain scouting. Girl scouts are a different matter entirely. Boys can never be members of the girl scouts. Even though girls (and trans) can be members of what used to be the boy scouts. Unnerstan'? RS>> I opened with a statement about the complexity of situations like RS>> this, and you came straight out with guns a'blazin'. You have no RS>> interest in genuine discourse here. GD> Where ya been, Reverend? GD> I have been in here for a very long time. GD> Suggesting that I have no interest because you just so happen to disagree, GD> honestly... I expected as much.
