Former state Rep. Robert Foster has a real thing for shooting people.Photo: Campaign photo
Republican Robert Foster, a former Mississippi state representative and failed gubernatorial candidate, is one of a kind - and that's a good thing. Still, his Cedar Hill Farms is a frequent location for GOP fundraisers despite his lackluster results at the ballot box and his extremist positions.
Foster, who authored the state's death penalty law, took to social media to proclaim that transgender people should be executed by firing squad. The law he wrote allows for the state to use the barbaric method too.

"Some of y'all still want to try and find political compromise with those that want to groom our school aged children and pretend men are women, etc," Foster tweeted. "I think they need to be lined up against [a] wall before a firing squad to be sent to an early judgment."
"I said what I said," he followed up. "The law should be changed so that anyone trying to sexually groom children and/or advocating to put men pretending to be women in locker rooms and bathrooms with young women should receive the death penalty by firing squad."
Spencer Ritchie, the former head of the state party, tweeted in response, "The fascist force is strong with this one."
"Spineless establishment RINOs like you have conceded every fight with the Communists when you held power," Foster replied. "Ya'll 'Conservatives' haven't actually conserved anything. Now the Godless have power and they are destroying our country. Soon we will have to deal with this directly."
The tweets have since been deleted for violating Twitter's rules.
During his gubernatorial campaign, Foster refused to allow female journalists to ride on his campaign bus as male journalists did. He won less than 18% of the primary vote when even Mississippi Republicans found him too extreme.

Nice guy.
Putin would approve...
Sounds like this bigoted intolerant asshole should be executed by firing squad.
The opposite of which is to be power-less. . . speaks volumes. Moreover, it is presumption on his part to speak for God (about who may or may not be godless) at the end of the day!
Those poor kids. I hope they aren’t gay or they’ll end up hanging from a tree in their back yard.
No they should not be hung anywhere. [Deleted] Boys are boys and become men and girls are girls and they become women.
'gawd, gays, guns and the fetal tissue party.
Like who, specifically? Where is this a real problem?If he’s worried about things like rape or sexual assault, those things are already illegal. Does he imagine they are happening in bathrooms and locker rooms and no one knows? Especially with other people around like there probably would be? Where (outside of his imagination) is this happening?
There is so much hysteria over the sexual chaos that will be unleashed by LGBTQ people, but precious little evidence of it actually happening. We have enough problems with straight sexual predators. Try fixing that. That’s an actual problem.
Well said. Done and done.
"Mom, I don't like wearing boys clothes, I like girls clothes. I hate boys, they pick on me and call me names and tell me I'm not normal."
"Honey, it's okay, there's nothing wrong with being who you want to be."
"Okay officers, takes this woman with the rest of the liberal open minded 'groomers' and line them up on the wall. Sorry kid, you thought not feeling comfortable as the gender you were born was tough, now you get to try to grow up in our conservative Christian authoritarian fascist State without a mom. Good luck. Ready. Aim. Fire!" - Rep. Robert Foster

I have no clue what you said because it was flagged and deleted for violating the terms of service, but I've no doubt it had about as much in common with truth as an overused porta-potty reservoir at Burning Man does with a micro-chip clean room.
It is pretty disgusting to read the thoughts of a troglodyte that has no capacity to put themself in the shoes of someone unlike themself. I have a stepson who five years ago was an unhappy step daughter. I don’t truly understand it myself, but I do understand that he is virtually indistinguishable from any other man right now, and is in a happy relationship with a nice woman. They came over last weekend for dinner and games, and he is now sporting a full beard. He has a job that he started as a woman and is fully accepted as a man. Nobody in the family looks down or criticizes his decision. It’s just something that those of us in the civilized world accept and adapt to, no more difficult than a precocious child that grows up to have a different personality than was expected.
You still have a stepdaughter. She is just pretending to be a man, something she could never be.
Here's an interesting article from the Cleveland Clinic if you are interested. It may help you understand a little bit. I know it helped me.
And I don’t care. If I was at a urinal and he walked into the restroom it wouldn’t mean a thing. If you were in my shoes the whole family and everyone he is associated with would hate you because you are so consumed by it that you would never shut up about it. It says a lot about you that you prefer that sort of status over live and let live.

I get the part about females that always came across as masculine and vice versa, but when the spectrum gets expanded beyond that is where I struggle. In my stepson’s case, I still find him to be a bit feminine in his mannerisms. It’s almost like he is striving to be a gay male … but with a female romantic partner. Then there’s the transgender couple that has been in the news, where they both switched genders and have had two kids by natural childbirth. A pregnant person with a flat hairy chest and a beard is a hard thing to wrap my head around. But it’s not hurting anyone and I wish them all a happy, healthy life.

Well that's true of most people with more than half a brain. Sadly, some conservatives apparently can't control their own sexual desires so they can't believe that a transgender woman using the women's bathroom would be able to stop themselves from raping others while in the bathroom. Every conservative I've talked to about this believes there ought to be a law against transgender women using the bathroom they identify with. Apparently the existing laws against rape and sexual assault aren't enough to dissuade male conservatives from raping if they were allowed into a girls restroom. It's apparently similar to their belief in God which many religious conservatives imply is the only thing keeping them from raping kids because without their God, apparently there would be no morality.
That was truly interesting.
The hilarious part is that apparently they want this “ female ” in the restroom with their daughters.
This is just a random person I picked from an internet search. I encourage anyone to visit the link though. It’s very interesting.
Thank you. I found that article a while ago and bookmarked it because it is interesting and then I can share it to help educate people who want to be educated on the subject.
I find this topic interesting because my son's best friend has been transitioning and while reading the article I can see where Phoebe (then Zane) did think & go about things more along the female lines. She first came out as gay - she was still unhappy. Then came out as pan - still unhappy. I have never seen her happier since she began transitioning.
Yet belief in an invisible spirit being that people would literally give their lives or take the lives of others for is rational?
Belief in a higher power is something most believers claim they just know, they feel it deep inside them. They often claim to have had religious experiences and believe they can communicate with their God through silent prayers (aka telepathy) and that is not only considered rational by believers, it's expressly encouraged, yet there's not a lick of empirical evidence that whoever they're talking to in their mind exists.
But when it's a human that feels deep inside them that their heart and mind are not the same as the gender they were born, believers say they're not living in reality. They may have no empirical evidence that they were born transgender, it's often just how they have always felt from their earliest memories. Sadly, as the seed points out, some religious conservatives even call for capital punishment for those who encourage their friends and family to have faith in themselves, to let them know they may be maligned and persecuted for being true to who they are inside, but they will never be abandoned.
Good for her. She deserves to be happy, and I wish her all the happiness in the world.
When you supply any, we'll let you know.
She has finally found peace within herself & that is all that matters.
So you want to ban kids dressing up as something they aren't for Halloween too?
if your kid thinks he is actually Superman and dresses and acts like it all the time, yeah, it might be in your child's best interest
Did I say that? Show me where. Holloween is for fun and I don't know anyone who thinks they're Batman or Cinderella or Frankenstein's monster. And anyone who does is probably in a mental institution.
As I said to someone else, in order to insult me I must first value your opinion. You lose again
Does she still have female genitalia? How about female sex organs inside?
Your interest in my stepchild’s genitals is very disturbing. Seek counseling immediately.

Team Ariana Performs "FourFiveSeconds" | NBC's The Voice Top 11 Eliminations 2021
One of the contestants (of course not Ariana Grande) is a trans-person. People who watch such shows regularly will glean the truth - other 'bricks' here may be hard-pressed to even bother with the testosterone or is it estrogen treatment waffling onstage? Great singing, guys and gals!
I looked at the link you provided. I have seen it before on NT when the topic was a 'hot item' several years back. This dude is scary hot! I admit I was threatened at first that someone this "sign-less" of transgenderism could exist. But almost immediately I opened my mind to understand this one important thing. Anybody who goes this deep into the act of becoming male is genuine in their feelings and sincere in their intent to be (or present) as male. That is, they are not looking to 'bang' or 'bag' or illegally sneak around women locker rooms or bathrooms.
(Consider this: if a female wants to go into a female privacy zone the appropriate form is FEMALE!)
It is progress that is 'killing' conservatives. Long live science and its search for discoveries that push (some) conservatives out of consideration and from being held in high esteem! First, what should be required to belong in the world of the future is an open mind to diversity. (Some) conservatives need not apply!
While he may be "worried" about things like that, I don't think that is what he is talking about concerning "grooming." I believe he is speaking about the indoctrination of LGTBQ++++ norms within the public school system.
Indoctrination? Or acceptance? Is it okay in your opinion to talk to kids in this age group about "mommy's & daddy's"? Is it okay to talk to children about what they did on their vacation with their mom and dad but not okay for another child to talk about their two dads or two moms because then the teacher might get in trouble for "normalizing" gay relationships?
Why would it be okay to "indoctrinate" children into heterosexual lifestyles, making sure they only think of straight relationships as "normal", but not okay to present both gay and straight relationships as "normal"?
It seems like just a bunch of religious conservative opinion being forced on society once again, trying to control not only what our children should be taught but declaring what everyone else is supposed to view as "normal" or acceptable.
The fact is that children do not just become gay because they learned what the word means. There is no evidence that any teachers anywhere are telling children being gay is better or trying to encourage children to be gay, that's simply not happening. All that is happening is that teachers and schools are recognizing the fact that even at young ages some children express gender roles differently and should not be picked on, made to feel inferior or told they're abnormal as conservative Christians have been doing for centuries.
Now, if teachers and schools were treating heterosexuality the same way conservative Christians have been treating homosexuality or transgender discussions the conservative Christians would be losing their minds. Could you imagine how a child might feel if they were shamed, picked on and teased throughout their school life because they expressed an attraction towards the opposite sex or had straight parents? That happens all the time to children who are born gay, get same sex crushes or have gay parents, and no doubt most religious conservatives think not only is there nothing wrong with such hateful treatment of lgtbq children or their families, some seem to encourage it.
I simply stated what I believed the man was talking about.
As far as my own opinion on the subject, I would share them if I thought it would produce something other than ammo for people to stand on their soap box. You know, like an actual discussion or something. That's not going to happen in here, since all of us already know by heart how everyone else feels about most subjects and, so, all that's left is to shoot at each other. I'm getting pretty tired of that.
That's it in a nutshell DP.
THANK YOU
Well, he appears to be talking about two things. “Grooming” usually refers to a sort of softening up of the psyche and resistance by intended victims of sexual predators. That doesn’t have anything to do with LGBTQ and sexual assault is already a crime - albeit not a capitol crime.
Then he has a problem with people pretending men are women, which I guess is his sloppy approach to transgender issues in general. Being transgender isn’t about playing pretend; teaching on it has nothing to do with indoctrination; and nothing about it implies the death penalty. I would hope for a more intelligent and nuanced approach from someone who wants to be a representative of the people.
[Deleted]
Then perhaps "grooming" has a meaning within the sexual predator community that I am unaware of. Even if it does, it doesn't seem to fit the context, as it would take too much time when speaking about what might happen to a child with a trans person in a bathroom. Indoctrination within a public school system would seem to fit the context better.
As for the second thing he seems to be talking about, I agree with Just Jim in 6 below. If we take the man's words literally, he doesn't seem to be speaking about trans people themselves but, rather, those attempting to make trans use of female facilities both legal and legitimate.
Of course, we're only given the context provided by the article, which isn't very much but taking the man's words literally, that is what he seems to be saying.
That said, while I'm sure some of what Foster thinks about the issue would match my own, I would not agree with his proposed solution to the issue. If he considers himself a Christian, I would encourage him to reexamine his doctrine.
Would you marry a lesbian?
What does that have to do with anything?
" Homosexual behavior has been observed in 1,500 animal species."
" Homosexuality is also quite common among dolphins and killer whales. The pairing of males and females is fleeting, while between males, a pair can stay together for years. Homosexual sex between different species is not unusual either."
3.5% of adults in the US identify as gay. That's over 11.5 million Americans.
So regardless of what right wing conservative Christian haters think, homosexuality is common in both humans and nature.
The word "normal" is subjective, not objective, and isn't much different than claiming something is "beautiful". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it is not an objective state of being. Will there be sad little whiny self centered religious bigots who will never accept gay people as "normal"? Of course, but they don't speak for society as a whole and they do not get to determine what is "normal" and what is not.
Smoking cigarettes in America was once considered "normal", now as we become more health conscious and recognize the deadly consequences of a "smokers lifestyle" it has become less and less acceptable. During that same period homosexuality was considered "abnormal" and gay persons were persecuted and hidden because many religious conservatives claimed there were "deadly consequences" to a "homosexual lifestyle". Of course the deadliest consequences of being gay only existed because of the violent reactions many religious conservatives had towards gay folk. If we were able to stop the violence and hate from bigoted assholes towards the lgtbq community it wouldn't be nearly as dangerous as it had been in the past. That's why rational intelligent persons consider gay persons "normal" because they recognize they're just like anyone else that wants to live in safe neighborhoods, have opportunities for good jobs and quality schools for their children. Seems pretty normal to me.
Personally I'd much rather be in a room full of gay persons than a room full of cigarette smokers. Of course I'd also much rather be in a room full of rational intelligent persons than to be in a room full of bigoted right wing religious conservatives.
You claim that gay relationships are unnatural, so how natural would it be for you to marry this:
[Deleted]
Lol - I’m sure the feeling is mutual.
So you now know about my trans stepson, but I also have a gay stepson who is a special agent with the FBI and happily married. He and his husband are two of my all time favorite people. There could be nothing less natural than the thought of either of them with a woman. Being gay is not something you just shake off.
Yes, being an anti-gay religious conservative does seem to check a lot of the boxes of mental illness.
I know what isn't normal here and that isn't a gay relationship.
I don't believe that Ellen is the degenerate here nor mentally ill.
Top of the Class! Required Reading, for real! I have no words for how powerful @5.3.1 is. I want to add something to it; but, there simply is no room for anything else!
You broke this down quite well. It needed these distinctions set apart and spaced.
In a society build from the ground up into communities: What is normalcy? Who determines what is normal?
I don't know what you mean by normal, but whether it is or it isn't, do you really think that should determine how you treat people?
Normal is what is natural, like birds doin it and bees doin it. I grew up on a farm and saw just about every species imaginable engaging in some sort of homosexuality. Chickens, cows, dogs, sheep and even reptiles and insects...
Looking at the headline again, it is misleading as hell. He said NOTHING about executing transgenders. Here is what he said if you read it.
"The law should be changed so that anyone trying to sexually groom children and/or advocating to put men pretending to be women in locker rooms and bathrooms with young women should receive the death penalty by firing squad."
Of course there is the source that isn't bias at all. "LGBTQnation.com"
I think that phrase was meant to describe transgenders, dont you ?
In other words, he was advocating executing trangenders, at least the male to female variety.
Anyone TRYING to groom children or ADVOCATING to put men...............
It says nothing about advocating to put women ****.So no. No I don't. But I guess it is open to interpretation.
It's simply a matter of paying attention to grammar. You're spot on in describing what the quotes literally say.
Wordsmithing while not properly delineating meaning is a ploy that communicates in sum meaning even as it let's the reader choose what is being concluded.
and ambiguity abounds when herd hear the sounds, cause peepholes tend to offer a view, that few, don't make it a point, to make that view be a closer to the view that they would prefer to be true, Irregardless of that which is actually, the most accurate, for accuracy is not always that which people would wish to be most accurate, it is far easier to manipulate the view, than to choose the one in which most will do, for if it supportith more so the view that they wish it to, they tend to perceive in such a way, that can cause a fine coarse to teach askew for what they had already wanted to be heard, saw, and believed, for our biases are always present, for not despite our past, for it will always influence our future, and we've proven in excrucianary mannerisms, that we will not learn from our past, as we are doomed to repeat what we did not learn before, and i find it amazing, how things can be perceived so vast, cause no matter witch
how you spell it, some will always cast....
. . . a statement about their real meaning not being picked up by liberals. And then the "shedding" of ideas begin and a dubious process of pretending a consensus on narrative can not be reached. Irreconcilable!
yea, how could someone on the left, possibly understand "their real meaning", when if written wrongly, they state i am a Merriam WEBSTER Salad, and since i am a writer of wrong, i must inquire of they " WHAT YOU TALKIN BOUT WILLACE ? Cause Webster could coin a phrase....but, possibly got short changed.
On the other while, spaghettifying delineating meaning precludes objectifying precluded adherence to objectified wordification.
Words are not static. And though it would be nice if all choose to plain-speak, there are many party participants and influencers making use of many-ied interests through power politics word connotation.
They freaking well should be. The idea that they are not is part of why we are where we are. If words are not static then words do not have meaning. If words do not have meaning then there is no way for one person to relate to another dependably. To say that words are not static is to say truth is not static. If truth is not static, where the hell does that leave us, CB?
Also, that you replied to my comment of 6.1.7 as if you knew what I was saying, when even I have no idea what I was saying is disturbing.
Where the "heaven" does it leave you? Without lapsing into the area of another word: Truth (which is not what this area of discussion is about), let's continue as to the character of words: words can have definitions for a time and then fall out of favor. Words can be creative, expressive, loaded, double-entendre, subtle, old, over-used, new, concrete, jargon, and last but not least—specialty.
And less you think I did not notice: Between you and me, who wrote anything literal or implying words have no meaning?
Soon we should recenter on the substance of this article and its former representative and his statements.
Do not be 'disturbed' Drakkonis. I read the language of igknorantrulz; 'Dragon' is 'facil'! A 'rough' translation of (Drakkonis-speak):
Translation (CB): Stretching word meaning prevents keeping words "general" or concrete which prevents their being static. (Or words to that effect.)
What is of interest to me is that you write about standards in words and immediately admit to replying in what you term gibberish. Now then, I would ask your indulgence of interpretation of yourself: But, you don't know what you were saying,. . . right.
[deleted]
And you are the "believer" on NT? I'm sorry, you just got caught telling an untruth (euphemism). You say you strung some words together and I gave you an interpretation of the string of it. Since you do not know what you said and think it makes you cute, no it makes for sad and stupid, because meaning was found in the dictionary for each word threaded. You played yourself, "believer." The problem of communication here is you and your refusal to be decent. Oh, and the blatant lie betrays too.
Don't worry. I'm not disturbed. igknorantrulz is the only participant less comprehensible than yourself. I seldom bother to even read what he writes. That may seem like a put down on my part, but it isn't. Basically, I consider igknorantrulz a kind of poet. I do not understand poetry very much. I consider poetry a kind of colorblindness on my part so I don't consider it a deficiency on igknorantrulz part. It is simply a recognition of my own limitation where poetry is concerned.
We will all face judgement, CB. I'm not worried in this case.
Classless. I would tell you something at this point. Just imagine I did. . You don't rank with me anymore. Mark! Good-bye dude.
He has a point. While you call it stringing complete gibberish, others might define that as "stretching word meanings" which is the same as presenting gibberish as meaningful discussion. You did not indicate the comment as either satire or sarcasm, should anyone reading it just assume that's what you intended in this age of complete nut ball Qanon dip shits talking out their ass and meaning it?
Well I suppose if your goal was to be incomprehensible, you've succeeded.
Clearly he speaks English just fine. Of course, some whose goal is simply to insult others here on NT might claim those they have trouble understanding must be the ones who have a tenuous grasp on the English language, but they would be total dicks, right?
I've heard some half witted dip shits who confronted others they disagreed with and used the language barrier as an excuse telling them to "try to speak'a da Eeeenglesh" as if that would actually raise the IQ of the clearly moronic listener if only he heard what he wanted to hear in the language he wanted to hear it.
It seems to me the problem isn't with the language, grammar or the way its presented but the inability of the person listening to understand or ideologically assimilate the message and instead of even trying to comprehend the other persons perspective, they choose to use the potential grammatical errors as an excuse to dismiss their point. I guess that is far more convenient for some useless scum bags to debate subjects they know are out of their depth or that they have no rational argument to refute, but it does make most debates with those types of folk seem very tired and pointless.
Thanks DP. However, the 'gibberish' contained dictionary words and I drew meaning from an attempt to be vague by 'that one.' How could I have known it as a 'head fake'? Incidentally, I did temper my words with the phrase "words to that effect." It's a "catch-all phrase.
However, this is not the first time 'Dragon' has seen fit to try to insult me publicly. And it is all I can do at this point not to figuratively go nuclear here. He lacks the ability to read between lines and 'fill in the blanks' and draw meaningful conclusions or MORE TO THE POINT speak in a preferred manner that conveys strong indirect meaning without drawing a (code) violation. It should be obvious in some cases what is happening, to anybody who has a discerning spirit or can follow closely a discussion. Hint: I leave something to the imagination.
But, he along with a view of his conservative friends wants to put me in the position (role of) the dumb 'n-g--er of NT. That is a mistake. Because I know who I am, I know in whom I believe, and I don't capitulate to trash/talkers.
Full steam ahead, brighter, stellar days, open seas. Aye aye, 'Captain!'
OMG.
Yeah, you too. (The sentiment is thick with this one!)
Fine. Extract meaning from what I said, then.
Thanks.
Okay, I'll guess we'll have to disagree. Most of the time I have no idea what he's talking about. I'm pretty confident that most others don't, either, but respond to what they think he is saying.
I'm all for you being allowed your own opinion. Do not have the least problem with it. However, I do take issue with your apparent position that it is the hearer's responsibility to discern what the speaker intends to convey rather than the speaker. I do think that the hearer needs to set their own biases and preconceptions aside while listening to what the speaker has to say, but in CB's case, you can't honestly stand by the position that CB clearly and unambiguously puts his thoughts into words that are clearly understood in the English language.
Considering CB, I am sure, to a high degree of probability, that he understands how English speakers use words in normal conversation, but prefers something like "artistic license." I don't know why. Perhaps what he says is shorthand for more complex ideas but it isn't rational or fair to expect his readers to simply understand what he is talking about. If you're going to explain a concept to an English speaker then use concepts and language they understand. It's really that simple.
Okay, I can see that. But can you see that if someone can't articulate what their point is that even beginning a cogent argument isn't even possible?
That doesn't make any sense at all.
Which seemed to have been one of Drakkonis' points.
For what it's worth, what CB's skin color might be never occurred to me. Now that he's brought it into this, my only thought is, what relevance does it have?

Yes, it's very sad when some dip shits try but fail at labeling other NT members as 'dumb n*****s". I also find it funny that the only ones who ever imagine that others who rightly expose lightly camouflaged racist ridicule are always desperate to label it as some "race card" being played instead of actually caring enough to listen. The true "tool of the intellectually weak and lazy" are those who are just too embittered and calloused to even accept that their indoctrinated ideology might be wrong, that maybe, just maybe, the systemic racism being described by the victims might be real.
But I get it, admitting something is wrong puts the burden of change on those who recognize and are alert to racial injustice, so refusing to recognize there is anything wrong relieves a lot of pressure to change, because change is hard, and frankly, bigots don't want to change. They want to rationalize their bigotry, to excuse it, to build some reason why it's either valid or necessary to further their ideological conviction.

"You have obviously been speaking in the English language long enough to have at least a grasp of basic structure but apparently refuse to utilize it."...
Seems pretty clear you assumed he didn't grow up speaking English and chose to denigrate his comments based on your own imagined English language expertise. Insulting's someone's use of the English language is most often used against those who are not native born Americans, immigrants and people of color, who might take more time understanding the English language nuances.
It's a common excuse which dismisses the immigrant or person of colors perspective and opinions by questioning their "American-ness". It is, of course, most often employed by worthless piece of shit white conservative Christian bigots who imagine themselves the "experts" on "American-ness" and hilariously picture themselves as the ideal of what "American-ness" is and thus anyone who doesn't receive their 'royal approval' can't call themselves "American". Of course the reality is the bigots are about as much the "American ideal" as a tapeworm is a sensible weight loss parasite.
Given the subjectiveness of this place I suppose this will be deleted as well, but I'm so tired of being attacked by CB when it can't even be credibly determined what he's even claiming. You label what I said as taunting rather than frustration at having to respond to someone who, after all this time, should be able to convey his ideas in an understandable manner. So, what, Perrie? Am I just supposed to say nothing at all? I say something and CB gets to say some illegible crap that I know you don't understand any more than I do and if I call it out, I'm the one punished. Fine. I despise putting someone on ignore but what choice to you leave me?
English was not his first language. That isn't an assumption. Ask him.
How can I denigrate his comments when I can't even understand what they are? And don't tell me that you understand any more than I do.
[deleted] It isn't denigration. It is simply an obvious statement that his sentences have no understandable meaning within the context of spoken English. It is as if he is speaking in a different language and using Google to translate.
Um, yeah. This argument might work if I had just discovered this place but I've been here since NV bit the dust. CB has been here as long or nearly as long. In all that time, his syntax hasn't improved by any measurable amount. That isn't an accident or an artifact of coming from some other place.
igknorantzrulz is essentially a poet and communicates through is poetry, but when he definitively wants to be understood without ambiguity, he states his opinion in non-poetical terms. CB doesn't, even though he's had ample time to understand how English speakers communicate ideas. CB intentionally uses the words and syntax that he does, since he's been here more than long enough to learn how to communicate his ideas in understandable [English.deleted]
It's common for someone who doesn't have an actual argument to make such an accusation. Evidence. You are addressing my opposition to someone who obviously doesn't have English as their first language as your sole criteria for condemning me. Further, you mischaracterize my opposition as having to do with their a) color, b) perspective and c) opinion rather than my stated objection of not knowing what the hell he's talking about because of their poor communication skills, even after all these years of interaction with English speakers. Anyone who's honest will admit that CB would rather be creative in how he expresses what he has to say over actually being understood.
I see no point in dignifying this with a response beyond saying that any critical thinker will see your statement for what it is.
Seriously, although I have absolutely not the slightest clue as to what the hell you're saying, I enjoyed reading it. It yanked me out of my perspective for a moment.
Intellectually weak and lazy and and bitter - just about sums it up.
Is Drakkonis the topic?
Drakk,
I normally don't write meta in an article, but since I rarely have an issue with you, I will respond. You can't call people names or imply personal things in a comment. That is one rule that is plain in the CoC. You might not like the way CB expresses himself, but he is allowed to do so. You are allowed to ignore it or try to address it as best you can.
Okay. Consider me chastened. I crossed the line. I admit it. I'll try not to do it again.

Thank-you, Jim. The headline bothered me, too, especially after I read the article.
There's enough sensationalism in the media without making shit up or just out and out hyperbole
Agreed. Suggesting anyone needs to be executed, especially since he appears to advocate from religious grounds, is bad enough all by itself without inventing something else.
From his religious grounds which seems to me he wants everybody to be just like him. No room for individualism or free thought in his world.
I guess what really gets me is those that are all up in arms about transgender being in the women's rooms & raping women when for the most part they don't EVER believe women when they say they have been sexually assaulted, but they will in this case. What asses.
I thought you all said all women should be believed if they are sexually assaulted. Seems you have changed your mind.
No clue.
Good point!
Night time. This topic has 'sunken' about as low as it can float (for me). Back tomorrow. Bringing my 'new' (April's just a day away) attitude.

Sweating this 'mess' out of my hair.
Good morning, 'Sunshiners'! Fine day for renewed discussion about Mississippi republicans and transpeople. Let's get going! Shall we?
A Proclamation on Transgender Day Of Visibility, 2021
Today, we honor and celebrate the achievements and resiliency of transgender individuals and communities. Transgender Day of Visibility recognizes the generations of struggle, activism, and courage that have brought our country closer to full equality for transgender and gender non-binary people in the United States and around the world. Their trailblazing work has given countless transgender individuals the bravery to live openly and authentically. This hard-fought progress is also shaping an increasingly accepting world in which peers at school, teammates and coaches on the playing field, colleagues at work, and allies in every corner of society are standing in support and solidarity with the transgender community.
In spite of our progress in advancing civil rights for LGBTQ+ Americans, too many transgender people — adults and youth alike — still face systemic barriers to freedom and equality. Transgender Americans of all ages face high rates of violence, harassment, and discrimination. Nearly one in three transgender Americans have experienced homelessness at some point in life. Transgender Americans continue to face discrimination in employment, housing, health care, and public accommodations. The crisis of violence against transgender women, especially transgender women of color, is a stain on our Nation’s conscience.
The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to fulfilling the promise of America for all Americans by stamping out discrimination and delivering freedom and equality for all.
To ensure that the Federal Government protects the civil rights of transgender Americans, I signed, on my first day in office, an Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation. Today, we are proud to celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility alongside barrier-breaking public servants, including the first openly transgender American to be confirmed by the United States Senate, and alongside patriotic transgender service members, who are once again able to proudly and openly serve their country. We also celebrate together with transgender Americans across the country who will benefit from our efforts to stop discrimination and advance inclusion for transgender Americans in housing, in credit and lending services, in the care we provide for our veterans, and more.
To more fully protect the civil rights of transgender Americans, we must pass the Equality Act and provide long overdue Federal civil rights protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The Equality Act will deliver legal protections for LGBTQ+ Americans in our housing, education, public services, and lending systems. It will serve as a lasting legacy to the bravery and fortitude of the LGBTQ+ movement.
Vice President Harris and I affirm that transgender Americans make our Nation more prosperous, vibrant, and strong. I urge my fellow Americans to join us in uplifting the worth and dignity of every transgender person.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2021, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join in the fight for full equality for all transgender people.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.
People be free and 'forget' those negative (some) conservatives: They have no right to stop you, so don't let them! If anyone tries to harm you for being YOU - be prepared to do what is necessary to maintain your rights. Take 'nothing' off of nobody! Feel your power now! If that stupid, unremarkable, conservative pictured above can't celebrate others having a life that suits them while not his own way of life: he can piss off!
This was on PBS earlier this afternoon and I thought it was worth sharing here:
"Love has no limits in my life, and love surprises me all the time".
What a wonderful sentiment, it's just too bad some can't see past their indoctrinated hate to realize what love can really be. Here is Joseph Patton before he passed away in 2020.
Joseph Patton, at home in Santa Monica, Calif., told StoryCorps last year that he was given an undesirable discharge for being friends with openly gay men in the military.
