Zero self control. That lack of self control is scary when you consider his fetish and profession.
The threats given to her are atrocious. Should never happen. That said, the types of attacks that were described sound very similar to one specific group type. I'll give you a hint. It has nothing to do with the Right or the Left, and this particular group is causing all sorts of trouble in Europe.
I'm all for better ideas. Problem is that many if not most ideas Liberals push aren't better and actually hold people down.
I'm confused about the above statement. Are you saying it's Libertarian to have the government say what is and isn't allowed?
No, the opposte: it is rather libertarian to say that the government SHOULDNT be involved in individual medical decisions... but for some reason the right seems to think that the government SHOULD be involved in certain medical decisions... namely abortion.
Uhhh... I don't know what group you mean. Men on the internet? 4chan readers?
I think we definitely don't understand the mind and issues like transgender enough to fully understand what's happening there. There's some evidence to suggest that it's a serious mental health issue considering the suicide rate is considerably higher under transgenders vs any other group. What I mean by considerable is that the average suicide rate is roughly 4% of the population, but under transgender it's 40%.

None of those groups are exclusively Left... I know a ton of non white, non christian and gay Right people. But the Left media would have you believe they are all on their side...
You see nothing wrong with aborting viable, healthy, 2nd or 3rd term pregnancies?
Based on what? California is a ticking time bomb. I'd rather have them leave the US than bring us all down with it.
You do realize that the GDP of California has gone down CONSIDERABLY under the watch of the Left right? California has the 7th highest economy in the world right now. Before the left took over it was the 5th. California is going to hell in a hand basket and the rest of the country would be better of without them.
See, Boiler, statements like that are ridiculous. When was the right in charge of Cali? What caused any economic drop, and how was it connected to the world? How on earth do you think we as a nation could lose all of that money and do fine? More moderate, thoughtful stances would do wonders.
Oh God we've descended into conservative YouTube propaganda videos. This thread is a wrap.
Dude. I watched about 3 minutes of this. You’re gonna need some better evidence than a YouTube collage of random local news 6 seconds clips and “the sky is falling because of liberals” radio talk show hosts all giving their opinions on the California economy. Lol
I think the only reason why they feel that way is because it's a life that's being killed and if you don't believe it is, where do you draw the line?
How about you actually watch the video and see all that is presented before blowing something off. You might learn something.

From 1860 to about 1990, California voted Republican for president 23 times out of 33 or 66% of the time. Since 1990 it's been all Democrat. California is now by far the most left state in the union.
How about you try and refute what is said instead of calling it propaganda. It's only propaganda if it's not true. I'm fine with being proven wrong, but I haven't seen any argument to the contrary.
I watched the first 3 minutes of it. Sorry I can’t watch the whole thing. If the first 3 minutes are going to be short clips that attempt to build the video makers narrative then it’s obviously going to be propaganda, especially when what’s being said doesn’t jive with what most respected news outlets report on. I don’t know much about the California economy but by just googling it you will see that their economy has outpaced most of the United States this decade. As recently as 2016 they had the 4th fastest growing economy although they fell off to 35th in late 2017.
Also, the California economy world ranking doesn’t appear to be exactly known. Some say 5th, most say 6th while others say 7th. It does not look like anybody is saying that it’s rapidly dropping and in real danger of doing harm to the United States overall.
Yea, I'm not one the would like to see California succeed, as I do think it would hurt the US in some ways. However, we would still be a lot better off without them then they would be without us.
Uh... was California one of the top 6 or so economies in the world before 1990? Because they are now.
And being left or right doesn't matter if we are talking about success. Texas is pretty far right as a state, but does pretty well in most economic indicators.
I think you are really latching onto some right vs left thing, and throwing everything you can at it... California, Socialists... facts be damned.
Because most media outlets don't tell you the full story.
California is the perfect experiment for what Dems want for all of us. Education is horrible and graded at a C- despite some of the highest paid teachers in the country. Taxes are massive as well as spending and it's going to inevitably collapse. They have the highest percentage of poor people in the country.
Just google "problems with California Economy" and you will get a bunch of articles from California papers talking about how the current resurgence is going to be short lived.
Even the NY Times talks about the trouble ahead for California

Yeah, but there is no accepted factual or scientific guidance in terms of what is or is not human life... it's generally a rather personal issue, with a healthy dose of religious impact.
Generally libertarians do NOT get involved with government regulating personal choices and issues, and they DEFINITELY don't get into government regulations being guided by religion.
The actual libertarian stance on abortion is this, from their platform:
1.5 Abortion
Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.

You may be confusing libertarian with conservative. They are most assuredly two different things, ESPECIALLY in our modern politics, where conservative positions have become closely associated and informed by Christian "values".
See, statements like that are just so over the top that they become a bit of a mess. Dems want everyone to have horrible education and be poor? That's obviously not true.

Dude you're talking about your opinions being proven wrong. You're also arguing in generalities. There is nothing here about policy, nothing about the developing economies of the world and even more... who a state votes in favor of for President basically has very little impact on state economic policy.
Also, California has traditionally been "liberal" for 100+ years. You're dumbing down the conversation with the pundit bs.

"California’s economy is the largest of any U.S. state and is surpassed only by a handful of industrialized countries. Financiers in California have been imaginative in seeking and employing capital, and many of the country’s largest banks and corporations are based in the state. In 1965 California supplanted New York as the leading state in the export of manufactured goods. With the development of Silicon Valley in the late 1970s, California became a world leader in the manufacture of computers and electronics. By the end of the 20th century, the state’s economy was attracting highly educated workers from all over the world. Moreover, California has retained its dominance in the aerospace industry (though the industry declined in the 1990s), in the film and television industry, and in agriculture and viticulture."

I wasn't confusing anything. I was simply posting a video that shows what the right has to say about the issue.

Where did I say that? The point I was making is that the Dems claim to have all the answers and that answer is always to spend more (not that conservatives don't on many things either, but I'm Libertarian and believe spending more, or more clearly more government control is NOT the answer). Their spend more philosophy is blowing up in their face.
