I just want an Amish girl without having to become Amish myself

Some new-order Amish communities tolerate using a single computer or smartphone if it's used to run a business. I guess i just need to figure out a few dozen businesses that I can run without raising suspicion of ... "Tell me why this business has to run on a 30 year-old Commodore Amiga while your competitors are much more successful using a 20 year-old Linux box."

Nothing new. There are some around here that run 'real' food stores, with computers, cash registers, electric light. They drive cars..

Mississippi bill:   "the bill would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”

wtf.  ' stay the hell out of our bedroom ' 

As far as i know that is the exact wording.  And no, it was a male Representative.

Sure, it will never make it, but that it even is being attempted is mind boggling and scary that its being tried.

If those are the exact words ... "discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo" ... the bill is basically dead on arrival. That wording makes oral and anal sex illegal, but only for men. Also -- and maybe this was the hidden agenda -- it also makes gay sex illegal, but agin only for men. For that matter, it also makes sex with any type of contraception illegal -- once again, only for men.

Was the bill written by a lesbian?

It was a Democrat rep doing a poorly thought out protest against the ban on baby murder, but something tells me you left that out on purpose.

As with everything, it's all a matter of who was reporting on it.  That sounds subtle.

Well that is interesting.  Assuming its not fake numbers or targeted polling, i wonder if its truly increasing or just that those generations feel less restricted to say something as of late, or perhaps even feeling impelled to say something. Most people in my circles that are not 'traditional' would just refuse to answer in the first place. They just want to be left alone to live their life. And the couple that would are not in the least activists. "Oh, ya i am, have a nice day'

More than 9% of American adults now identify as LGBT as of 2024, a new poll released Thursday found.

The number of adults reporting to be “something other than heterosexual” has risen from 7.6% in 2023 to 9.3% in 2024, according to Gallup. The newest data shows a drastic increase since Gallup first began its polling on the subject in 2012, when only 3.5% held a non-heterosexual identity.

The statistic is driven largely by Gen Z with nearly a quarter of the generation claiming an LGBT identity, according to Gallup. Less than 15% of millennials and 5% or less of each Gen X, Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation report identifying as part of the group.

Since 2020, the number of people claiming to be LGBT has risen approximately 4 percentage points amongst Gen Z, two points amongst millennials and one point amongst Gen X, according to the poll. Overall, more than 5% of respondents say they are bisexual and just over 1% claim a transgender identity.

It's a social contagion.

And of course it's rising in Gen Z because it's being taught in schools now. The growth is artificially induced.

Although one thing I've neglected to mention until now is that it's not just the gay stuff; pretty much anything that diminishes the traditional family is encouraged by the left.

To tear down the family is to tear down civilization itself, which is their goal.

in a way, it is in my generation too.  We are slowing dying off.

Well, that is kind of fun,. because last time I checked, LGBQ++++ acceptance among the new generations was going down.

The "traditional family" is a societal construct, it doesn't mean anything at all. 

Entire cities, and nations, have waged war for years because of "family".  Family means *nothing* in the grand scheme of things.  "But we're family!!!" is the most abusive and manipulative phrase I've ever encountered.

If you aren't afraid of the word, the concept, then you are being manipulated by the "family".

No one deserves respect because of their blood relation, or because they raised you or someone else close to you.

Go f*** yourself.

I do think there is a 'base level' of respect for being a human, but that is easily lost due to one's actions, and would have to be earned back, and you don't get 'extra credit' due to where you came from.

If more people did that instead of raising children to be clones of their own terrible selves, the world would be a much better place.

Sure, as someone else said, people deserve a default amount of respect, but plenty of people out there do things that cause that quantity to decrease rapidly.

My parents don't deserve respect because they are my parents.  My parents deserve respect because they did the best that they could figure out how to do, and they did it better than their own parents did.  My parents deserve respect because they kept as far away from the rest of our blood family to the absolute most they could, without completely alienating themselves.  My family's funerals are all celebrations that the molesters, rapists, thieves, and manipulators in the previous generations are all dying.

Yet someone at one of those funerals sat down with me, and said "I have to forgive them."  No, you fucking don't.  You don't have to forgive the man that raised you, but also raped you.  You don't have to afford them any respect, and frankly, you should let them die alone and unwanted.

Every time someone in my family did something absolutely shitty as fuck - oh, say, take unrequested pictures of me and my children at my father's funeral, or being a racist piece of shit, or not being given money because I just got a new job - and got told off, they would gnash and wail "But we're faaaaaaaaamilyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" like that makes any of it fucking OK.

"Congratulations, you managed to bring someone into the world, who never asked to exist" does not automatically entitle you to any additional respect.

"Treat your father well, he's your father" (or whatever other relative) ... common refrain amongst the people in my family. .. *My* father, yes.  My father's brothers and sisters? His mother and father? "Good fucking riddance, the rat bastards." as he said.
