Comment Chromosomes realigned? (Score 1) 798

You probably already realize that only the vast majority of people fall into the standard sexual/gender roles/identity. So while most people are born such that males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome while females have two X chromosomes, that is the norm but there are plenty of exceptions. This is what, I think, gives the transgenders standing. As long as some people cannot be properly defined then nobody should be properly defined lest we make the wrong assumptions. I think that is a pure BS. Any sex alignment/change therapy is purely hormonal and seeks to align the patient/victim with traditional sex roles. Nobody is getting their chromosomes realigned! Doesn't this show that the two traditional sexual/gender role/identity is preferred even by those who wish to change for whatever reason?

So this wasn't expected? I think it surely was.

Comment The lady doth protest too much, methinks (Score 1) 534

TLDR: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a quotation from the c.â1600 play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. It has been used as a figure of speech, in various phrasings, to describe someone's overly frequent and vehement attempts to convince others of some matter of which the opposite is true, thereby making themselves appear defensive and insincere.[not verified in body] In rhetorical terms, the phrase can be thought of as indicating an unintentional apophasisâ"where the speaker who "protests too much" in favor of some assertion puts into others' minds the idea that the assertion is false, something that they may not have considered before."

Comment Re: Toba: Stupid to ignore history (Score 1) 275

Hey snowflake, how much "pollution" did Toba throw out? "Volcanoes release up to 130 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year (USGS, 2010). It is averaged out that volcanism, per year, contributes anywhere between 65-319 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (EIA, 2011). One volcanic eruption has the opportunity to outgas as much carbon dioxide in one day than 250 years of anthropogenic activity (Primer, 2010)."

Comment Completely Wrong Conclusion! (Score 1) 1321

They reached the wrong conclusion but then they are biased. My Occam's razor says the non-electronic ballots were manipulated by the Democrats. They would have far more experience in stuff the ballot box than manipulating the electronics. The electronics are correct, it's the paper ballots that are wrong!

You would think the ACLU would be all over getting rid of a federal communication commission. Sounds like a joke, something from the old Soviet Union. If they want to regulate the use of the electromagnetic spectrum and not things protected in the 1st amendment then they need a new name and a new mission.

Comment WTF? Anti-Gay? (Score 1) 197

You're good with links so please show where Trump and his supports are anti-gay? You're probably confusing Trump with Hillary who happily takes money from the leaders of countries where being gay results in the death penalty. Or maybe me who happily buys gas refined from oil purchased from countries where being gay results in the death penalty.
