It's wrong and harmful to lock any group out of Pride celebrations. Police are not the enemy of gay people and by and large have done a lot to help protect LGBTQ andr respond to helping persecute people that commit hate crimes.

Pride is supposed to be about inclusion and acceptance. If we gay people want acceptance from society we need to be big enough to allow acceptance to all other groups also. Pride isn't just a "gay" thing. It's about all people everywhere being proud of their adulthood and their ability to rise above conflict and get along.

I wouldn't play this game because of my very "woke" anti gun and anti-war sentiments. I think whenever I see a game ad with someone holding a gun, what a sad thing that the video game industry has evolved into - everyone has to use a gun to solve their problems or get "points" in life. Pretty disturbing when you see how young males are groomed to be gun lovers. And really, it's the worst possible sort of image to be feeding them.

No one with any self worth or dignity should try to live their life by what the "bible" says. No real human could, and it is totally full of contradictions and hypocrisy at every turn.

With the same reasoning it's never logical to assume that things we can't always identify or put a label on are strange or foreign or from other planets.

The most logical, and most mentally healthy mind, would first try to explore the most plausible explanations and first assume there is no miraculous visitation involved.

If a mountain springs up in the middle of the Pacific and a comic sans message pops up saying LDS is the true religion," I can guarantee it's because the multi-billion dollar corporation called the LDS Church has put money into a new kind of marketing campaign.

And if you're stupid enough to give that corporation 10 percent of your income, maybe you're too stupid to be trying to solve UFO mysteries in the first place.

Actually he's an octopus so he's always been a lot more of a hands-on person.

Well I'm sure it wasn't Israel's fault, he probably got in the way of their bullets. Of course killing humans at Easter is what the Jewish state is best at, so we should shove our easter eggs up our butt and thank jesus for this wonderful world of bloodshed and murder that israel helps make happen.

Well it's sort of like Mohammed - I'm sure that a person with that name DID exist around that time at some point. And maybe they were a teacher and a self-proclaimed "speaker for god." But so was Charles Manson and David Koresh and Jim Jones and Joseph Smith and many other horrible cult leaders.

There never has been any "god" in the way we mean it, so there could never actually be such a thing as the son of God, nor any need for one. If we were smart as a species, we'd see why it's more important to support human beings than go around believing in religious nut jobbery.

Here they want to force all schools to have the Ten Commandments posted on every wall. Because god knows, kids aren't already feeling puny and guilty enough, we need to show them just how much they don't measure up to god's standards at every turn.

If there is a human alive who has never broken a commandment I've yet to meet them. And I don't live my life by a fictitious set of rules anyway - let alone a list that no one, not even Jesus, could actually succesfully live up to. (and to my mind, no one with any intellect would want to anyway).

I don't think people think much about the actuality of what Darwin said or the truth of their own animalness and being part of the animal kingdom.

It always irks me to see an anti-evolutionist pointing to or making fun of a picture of an ape because, to them, being compared to great animals is some sort of smutty filth. I hate to think what kind of brutality they enact on cats and dogs around them, or even kids.

The idea that we're part of the Animal kingdom, to me, is such a fascinating and great concept. I just do not get people who are insulted or "turned off" by that idea at all.

I appreciate that. I've had a lot of scorn heaped on my head for being a "Boomer," as if it was sacriligious of me to pick being born in the 50s - surprisingly, I had very little say in it.

And I personally don't see that I did anything to make the world worse, beyond just living my life the way every one else did. Did I support oil and gas extraction? Well I drove a car - as a kid I never even thought about such things.

Did I help pollute the earth? I came from a family of human consumers so I'm sure I did. I'm not saying we don't deserve our share of blame.

Yes I'm an older person but I worked hard and did my best in life, I don't know more I could do. I never engaged in fighting or war with other people or hurt anyone, if I could help it.

I have a spotless driving record, not even a citation. But no one says, "thank you for being a safe driver," all i get are scornful comments like, "whaddya want, a metal?" "Who cares."

You can be a good and contributing tax payer your whole life, and someone who has always treated others with respect and acted carefully, and yet still be the target of total scorn and unreasonable hate just because of the generation you came from.

I expect that kind of reply from a woman-hating and self-hating person like you. So, I don't really value your opinion very much.
