I don't know why they'd want to teach about a movie, but they SHOULD teach about the murderous theft of land and oil from the native tribes because that's a very real and necessarily uncomfortable truth. And when you don't teach truth, you only spread worthless dirty ignorance all around.
Once again the "Christian" right proves they are nothing but ignorant un-christian wrongdoers. No bible passage nor any passage from any christian text can "justify" violence or murder by war of any human being, under any circumstances, ever, for any reason at all. There is only ONE major commandment that is cited in the bible, and that is simply this. "THOU SHALT NOT KILL." God did not even allow an excemption to that rule for Moses, who could never enter heaven after he killed an egyptian. I'm not religious, but if you are religious in any way shape or form, you must realize there is no excuse for killing, ever - and no man or woman shall be forgiven for causing death to another, no matter what the reason. Period.
Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive....
Absolutely disgusting in every way. War is the product of infantile minds and sick abusive hearts. These kids did not deserve to die for the stupidity and perverse beliefs of the adults surrounding them. Shame on Israel for this murderous atrocity and shame on Hamas for engaging in warlike acts of child murder as well. NO ONE is above blame for this horrendous show of inhumane and despicable sickness.
Which is why war is the ultimate atrocity that humans can commit. Worse than child abuse, worse than rape - war is the result of sick minds corrupted beyond any hope of redemption.
Looking at the two big news publishers in my country. One isn’t reporting about the current bombings at all, while the other one is phrasing their words mostly anti-Palestinian....
This war in the middle east has been going on as long as I've been around, for 64 years and beyond that. It's not ever going to stop. The only solution to any of this is the most easy and yet frightening one -total annihilation of every human on earth. Yet that's what MUST happen if the earth is ever going to be a place of peace.
Yet somehow those "other" animal disputes don't end up destroying the climate or beheading kids in Palestine or Israel or threatening nuclear annihilation of the planet. Compared to what us human animals do to each other -- that looks very peaceful indeed.
And it's like trying to hold back the ocean with a toothpick, telling people they can't be gay or Muslim or anything else. As with most right-wing oppression, it's an aspiration that is abusive, unrealistic and asinine in every way.

Dimwit indeed - after all only a corrupt imbecile would endorse any ban on truthful education of kids about human sexuality. And this guy is also a fraudster on top of that. Tell me who kids should emulate - good people or hateful bigots like this idiot.
I love it also, and it doesn't surprise me - LGBTQ folk are some of the most well educated and kind people around. In stark contrast to the real perverts who try to hide truth, history, and the wonder of human sexuality from kids who already know more about it than any other generation in history ever did.
This might because I have more confidence in myself now and the act is now being done using the correct parts. I’m just surprised how much my needs have increase because before surgery I was meh to sex.
I'm not understanding this at all. What kind of bottom surgery did you have? You said your needs have increased, and some act or other is being done using "the correct parts." This is very vague - you say before surgery you were "men to sex." What does that mean? Can you be more specific?
But my question is - why would someone ever feel "repulsed or ashamed" to have same sex attraction in the first place? I mean, I'm gay and I love that about me - it's been a huge blessing. I feel my masculinity is super-charged by my gayness. And even if you transition from male to female, doesn't that mean you still want men for sex partners (so how could man-sex be disgusting or repulsive, unless someone thinks men are so vile and monstrous, in which case, doing something to transition to a female makes no sense to me at all). Just asking - I'm not trying to insult anyone, I'm all for anyone being whatever they choose - i'm just curious.
Yeah it looks like was an auto-correct error. I hate those auto-correct functions, they should be called "auto-incorrect." I make myself proofread everything now, just in case that happens.
Well I'm sorry you're that small minded and unable to accept any inquiries or opinions that don't completely align with your own. I hope you somehow gain the ability to celebrate acceptance of others and their opinions on your long journey in life.
But how can they be "the wrong ones." There are no "wrong" sexy bits on human animals, anywhere. Same-sex attraction is every bit as natural as any other sexual attraction. It doesn't require changing your sex organs to something which matches a stereotyped idea of what men or women are or should have "down there."
Well I'm sorry you're that small minded and unable to accept any inquiries or opinions that don't completely align with your own. I hope you somehow gain the ability to celebrate acceptance of others and their opinions on your long journey in life.
Sorry SamanthaLie, that comment above wasn't meant for you - it was directed toward LadyAutumn who feels that my asking questions of members here is somehow an attempt to hurt or ridicule them, when nothing could be further from the truth. All I'm trying to do is learn more about trans people - why is that a crime, and why is that not something people are OK with. My view is, if you want support, you need to be open to letting people learn about who you are.
Yeah it's awful how people subscribe to willful ignorance and right wing misinformation that can ultimately hurt them - like not getting vaccinated, and the right wingers are still the biggest group dying from COVID every day. We do suffer from right-wing populism which is the direct result of ignorance and lack of education in our country. The more stupid America gets, the more right wing it will become, until it completely falls apart as a country and never recovers.
Most of our US politicians are also shady and very crooked. Very much in it for the money they can get from special interest groups. Ron Desantis is an example - he doesn't care about anyone, and he constantly tries to pass laws to hurt LGBTQ people just because it pleases his followers. He's really a scumbag.
America had the potential to be a great country, certainly it had the right idea - but as usual, people are crooked and untrustworthy and have ruined it completely.
I read the news also, and it's a sure way to get totally depressed about the world and what is going on. I think man's natural inclinication is to make unhappiness for each other. There are some good people, but they are very far between. Hope it all goes well for you there in spite of all this.
