Now I think you understand..............PROJECTION.

Males have varying degrees of masculinity and males have varying degrees of femininity.

Females have varying degrees of femininity and females have varying degrees of masculinity.

How feminine or how masculine one is, does not change their sex.

Drugs and surgery change appearances, does not change XX or XY.

Males are still males and females are still females.

As Mr. Byte stated:
BTW, GOD says the behavior is wrong, so that's good enough for me. Yes, HE also says there are many other things that man does that is wrong also. But those are another subject.


Where else do we have parades, celebrate and require acceptance of other sins.
Let's have PRIDE for murder or rape.

I regret buying TGT last June. Oh, well, it is part of large cap index funds so practically everyone is getting hit one way or another.

More and more is being discovered about their children's products.

"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 71% of American Adults agree with the statement that “there are two genders, male and female,” including 57% who Strongly Agree."

Mommy brings Junior in so she can go to the bathroom without worrying where her little precious angel is, and soon as she sits on the throne next to my stall - this little kid is staring up at me from below.

How about y'all worry about what YOU are teaching your own kids, before you start obsessing about what someone else is teaching them.

Some of you raised a bunch of perfectly straight perverts.

Sure thing. I'll be sure to let everyone know that you have decided this. Be aware that the majority of people around you will make fun of you, scorn you, scoff at you, possibly threaten you, avoid you, refer to you as "that freak," and likely buy me drinks as their way of apologizing to me on your behalf because you're clearly not human enough to do so yourself.

And then, MAYBE you'll get a HINT of what it's like to be vilified just because you dare to be different.

Cancel culture is strong in this forum. Celebrating the cancellation of commerce, celebrating the cancellation of immigration, celebrating the cancellation of people who think differently than they do and wish to dress the part, people celebrating the failure of businesses to profit after refusing to shop there because they make a statement that they think that ALL their customers are fine by them...

Lots and lots of cancelling going on here. Big cancel culture. Y'all must be proud. Just don't state your pride too loudly, or some other group will try and cancel you.

I went back and read each post and I did not see any/ANY cancellation of commerce or immigration. I know of NO ONE that is against "legal immigration" but I do know of millions that do not approve of Illegal immigration. We are a country of laws, period, enough said about that. No one is cancelling commerce. We enjoy Free Enterprise in this country and everyone is free to advertise and sell their product as they wish, as long as it is legal. They also have the freedom to fail. Just to alleviate your confusion, most PARENTS do not wish cross dressing freaks teaching our children that gender is not valid and that they can be whatever gender they wish. Most of us (parents) do not care a lick how you dress as long as it is not obscene. If one wishes to draw attention to themselves dressing like a clown, that's up the them. Don't teach our children that it is normal. There are only two genders, so some folks just have to live with it no matter how they pretend otherwise.
BTW: I saw a video taken at Disneyland where a guy with a mustache and wearing a dress was assisting young girls (children) choose attire in a children's boutique. Disneyland is a place of costumes but I bet there will be repercussions/fallout with that idea.

Probably checking to see if the person in the next stall is male or female :confused:. You know how curious kids are. Great example of why there should not be males and females in the same restroom at the same time.
"Straight perverts?" Did you mean heterosexual perverts? If they are perverts (Perversion is a form of human behavior which deviates from what is considered to be orthodox or normal.) wouldn't that put them in the same category as the abnormal behavior we have been discussing?

Choosing to shop elsewhere is a far cry from demanding someone get fired...Which is TRUE cancel culture...

Been gone a bit...................Glad 2 C this thread is alive & well.

Drove to St. Louis and back.

You know what St. Louis is the home of???......................:ohdear::ohdear::ohdear :

Bars there have taken down their Bud Lite signs.

To be Fair & Balanced................I did see two drinkers having Bud Lite.

Good to be back in TV.

PS.............saw lots of semi's on the roads, commerce is alive & moving.....where does he/she get this stuff??? Oh, that's right, change the topic.

dewilson58 06-02-2023 09:50 PM

Not sure if he was drinking Bud Lite, but information being reported:

Non-binary ex-Biden official Sam Brinton arrested for yet another baggage theft.

"Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police executed a search warrant May 17 in Montgomery County, Maryland, in connection with allegations of stolen property in luggage from Reagan National Airport that was brought to the department’s attention in February 2023,"

"Montgomery County Police assisted in the arrest of Sam Brinton,"

And your point is...

... all non-binary individuals are criminals?

... all criminals are non-binary?

... the intersection of being non-binary, a criminal, and an ex-Biden official is terribly unfortunate?

You do know that not all "those" people are criminals, right? There are vastly more binary, non-trans individuals (straight white guys just like you) who are criminals, even in The Villages.

This film "What is a Woman" was censored for a day or so by some rogue censor happy twitter execs pining for the old days. Said employees are now gone.

Activists call it anti trans but it is basically a series of simple questions asked of Doctors, academics, people on the street etc. Worth a watch and entertaining as well.

Speaking in absolutes?
Ok, since not ALL "those types" are criminals, does that mean that ALL straights are criminals?
BTW, the reason there are more "straight white guys" that are criminals is because the percentage of "those types"(alphabet soup) is so low. So low, they are deemed "abnormal." No hate here, just recognizing the fact that some folks have mental disorders and should (if not need) get professional assistance. No hate. We love them but do not condone the deviancy. After all, science dictates that there are two genders and you cannot change that. You can change your looks but you can't change your gender. You can fantasize but reality dictates the truth.
The subject is in regards to advertising. Glad to see there are enough discerning individuals in America that businesses that advance deviancy have been tried by society and found wanting.

I'm back in MD for a while... I live in the Bluest county in one of the Bluest states...

I played golf today. I asked the cart girl, when she drove by if she had been selling any Bud Lite... She said maybe 2-3 cans over the last few weeks...

After our round, I went to the grill for a hot dog and a beer and asked the server the same question.

She answered not a single one in the the last month...

Just food for thought...

Oh, and AB lost another $4 BILLION in market value over the past week...

But, as some have said, it's a "Brilliant" marketing strategy... :a20:

To distinguish from all the times when they are treated as inferior because of their differences. Why do you NOT need to celebrate your sameness? Because - you're all the same. No one is discriminating against you. No one is treating you as inferior due to your sameness. No one is trying to kill you for being the same. No one is refusing to make a cake for you because of your sameness. No one is refusing to hire you, refusing to promote you, refusing to teach you, refusing to leave you in peace, as a direct result of your sameness.

People who are different, are vilified, trashed, bullied, belittled, assaulted, rejected, and killed - just because they're different. So one month a year they get together and say "y'know what - we are worthy of celebrating our existence."

And so they do.

A whole month commemorating an abnormal very small percentage of the population is beyond ridiculous. Memorial Day and Veterans Day are only days, not months, and these memorialize men and women who sacrificed for their country. As far as I am concerned LGB is ok but the remainder of the initials apply to perverts. In any case pride is misdescriptive and to adopt a rainbow as a symbol which commemorates no more world wide floods is absurd. What do they have to be proud of? Gimme a break!

This attitude is exactly why an entire month is set aside to recognize these marginalized individuals. When America is more tolerant and accepting then a month will not be necessary.

Deep down inside they know something is wrong, so the need to celebrate a maladjustment to pretend it isn't, there is no excuse for mindless violence but crimes against LGBT gets more press than is justified

Excellent post, but those who have never experienced discrimination will have a hard time accepting or understanding. Particularly those who seem to have been indoctrinated by old school religious/societal views that homosexuality is somehow "bad". When you see people with gender identity issues being referred to as “perverts”, you know you're wasting your breath.

You can’t change people’s attitudes by making them angry. All this in your face behavior is just making the situation worse.

A whole month to celebrate(?) those that have a mental disorder. It's great to recognize this lifestyle that is merely a fantasy decision on their part, that they claim is causing them to be discriminated against. Waiting for Hollyweird to demand their month to celebrate. After all, they live in a pretend world also.
I have no problem with those that live an abnormal, deviant lifestyle being treated fairly. Just stay out of my face, and away from my children. I have no use for your perversion in my life and do not presume to demand special treatment, just because of your mental disorder. It is not a normal lifestyle so do not force acceptance on NORMAL folks. I do not bother them and do not treat them any different than anyone else, other than I recognize that they are not normal and should not be considered as normal. If normal folks do not accept you with open arm acceptance, don't blame them. If being abnormal is being treated by our government better than disabled veterans, don't blame the majority for their not being joyous that being a deviant gets a month of special treatment and recognition, equal to minorities like blacks and Hispanics.
But, this subject is about advertising the abnormal lifestyle commercially. I applaud the discerning public for showing Bud that they do not approve of the endorsement of obscene, deviant lifestyle. Maybe Budweiser is finally paying for stealing the name from another country that had it first? Maybe it's karma? It's a shame that stock holders must suffer for bad choices of the company.
