This is more or less Steve Sailer’s beat - he is famous for documenting race issues in the US, IQ, crime numbers, etc.

Of course:

While Sailer’s analyses have appeared in some mainstream outlets, and his writings have been credited with foreshadowing the emergence of Trumpism as an electoral force, he has also been accused of promoting white supremacism and repeatedly making racist statements.[3]

Yes but I still recommend going but just study something practical.

Become someone with a professional skill set that can’t be canceled.

In all honesty, you should go. Your revenge can be in getting a degree in science, technology, medicine… Something boring but very practical. Avoid courses that seek to brainwash you politically…

Go and make money and invest that in what YOU like.

That’s my serious advice.

Yeah I am honestly shocked by his behavior since he was so good with fans and such a lovable guy with the locals.

It seems uncharacteristic of what you would expect from him so I certainly hope that he gets his act together.

That is interesting, I am unfamiliar with that.

… and this is some mind blowing content:

When Roe was first decided, most of the Southern evangelicals who today make up the backbone of the anti-abortion movement believed that abortion was a deeply personal issue in which government shouldn’t play a role. Some were hesitant to take a position on abortion because they saw it as a “Catholic issue,” and worried about the influence of Catholic teachings on American religious observance.

Shortly after the decision was handed down, The Baptist Press, a wire service run by the Southern Baptist Convention — the biggest Evangelical organization in the US — ran an op-ed praising the ruling. “Religious liberty, human equality and justice are advanced by the Supreme Court abortion decision,” read the January 31, 1973, piece by W. Barry Garrett, The Baptist Press’s Washington bureau chief.

Religious bodies and religious persons can continue to teach their own particular views to their constituents with all the vigor they desire. People whose conscience forbids abortion are not compelled by law to have abortions. They are free to practice their religion according to the tenets of their personal or corporate faith.

The reverse is also now true since the Supreme Court decision. Those whose conscience or religious convictions are not violated by abortion may not now be forbidden by a religious law to obtain an abortion if they so choose.

Protestantism, to me, is often really just Bible only beliefs and they’ve stripped from it many of the benefits of the classic Church. I can be empathetic with them in the sense that the Church at times was far from correct in its applications. It is, after all, an institution that is run by fallible men.

… But when you go over to Bible only concepts with no heritage of theology that is 100% adhered to in terms of necessities, it creates this sort of chaos, doesn’t it?

BTW, the article I linked was because it was an interesting, obscure part of history. I think that guy is a massive liberal Chrisitan if he is a Christian at all. He wrote another article abshing Chesterton.

Sometimes it goes to the opposite extreme with the protestant work ethic. I’ve also seen some polls that seem to indicate a lot of protestants do seem to think works matter for salvation (even though this was traditionally associated with Catholicism… and orthodoxy?)

Yes and I prefer to think of it as transforming your life through repentance as a sort of work… but it is actually just the manifestation of the prayer life, IMO.

But yeah in the West there’s often a focus on Catholic versus protestant and idk why orthodoxy gets forgotten.

I am glad that this is changing more and more but I must admit too many Orthodox get self-righteous or overbearing on a lot of this stuff.

My guess is that he was also homeless and couldn’t provide shelter for her.

Turns out that they are not trans but simply did trasvestitism occasionally:

“He was a good guy but something made his rubber band pop,” the man said, adding: “You just don’t start dressing like a woman out of nowhere.”

The neighbor described Carriker as going “undercover” when he dressed in women’s outfits.

“He would do it randomly,” he said. “He was weird, to tell you the truth, but he was a nice guy.”

Another neighbor, Gary Jones, said he’d only seen him dressing up once, adding: “I don’t think it’s an everyday thing.”

“I just thought he was a regular guy. Yeah I saw him in regular clothes and one time in female clothes – cross dressing,” the retired bus driver, 69, said.

Carriker’s grandmother, who wouldn’t divulge her name, said she saw him dress in female clothing once – and he never did it again in front of her because she didn’t approve.

And what is remarkable about this is that some of those very important founders were actually deists and freethinkers in their time… But they rightfully believe that godlessness leads easily to nihilism that destroys the framework for a republic based on the rights of man.

Welcome here

But… it isn’t that, Yobama.

There’s a few funny trans memes here and there, but you guys had easily offended whiners literally combing through our forum trying to find stuff that they could list as offensive.

One of them, for instance, was an actual news story presented without commentary about a woman in the UK being charged and convicted for aborting a near full-term baby posted under “Crime.” Someone had crossposted it to a category called ‘Baby Killers,’ maybe that is why people were upset… But literally one of the “shocking” instances from our Instance was a real news story with a real conviction presented without commentary.

Some people just want to be offended.

I have a daughter and… would like to promote athletics to her, and frankly, I am very open to the idea of her being a WNBA fan. I would like to see the sport grow and be more serious.

But yeah, I am very much not enthused about the current state of affairs, and their reluctance to put the basket height down to 9 feet which woudl enable dunking.

I agree with this more or less. Every kid has a right to an education, even the mentally unwell ones, and the school likely should have separated them (maybe they did at some point…?).

The student is definitely in need of discipline and help… and the teacher did not handle this as maturely as he should’ve. Part of being a teacher is just being beyond reproach when it comes to how you treat your students.

Nobody ever needs to get into a pissing match with a twelve year old, lol.

Right - it’s a very wild situation, nonetheless.

Earlier in the yaer, there was talk of this happening also in Austin, TX, but authorities have denied it.

I think since some of them were apparently chloroformed or ethanol’d, though, there is a chance that some of it could be the work of a serial killer.

Let’s also remember: police have motive to deny that crimes have taken place.

nicknamed smiley face I think due to some smiley graffiti found near the places:

I heard the author of a book on this theory, perhaps even the inventor of it, give his pitch, and it was not persuasive. He was smart, though, by stating that only some of these potential murders are even necessarily connected.

What people also forget is that a smiley face being etched into some railing or spraypainted somewhere is … way too common. Smiley faces are one of the most comon doodles in the world, and, especially in the 1990s, were a huge iconic symbol you saw everywhere.

Good information there

I think the university has done a fairly good job of maintaining its standards. When I attended, it was fairly easy to get admitted but fairly difficult to graduate.

My father explined to me that, back in his day, just having done some of the college experience would result in getting decent job offers.

The county coroner where I grew up didn’t actually graduate medical school - he was asked to come on and be an assistant while he was working in university, and since he was doing a stellar job he just took over the whole position when the county coroner retired. It was not considered controversial at the time, but I think today these regulations would catch up with him.

This is just not very good. Of course many institutions are going to be Christian in name only. But I still think this is a bit much… Even for a secular school if it happens.

Absolutely terrible news. Particularly since you could’ve helped… Its a dark day, that’s for sure.

I will pray about this later. For certain.

God bless.

It’s a good Uni, they say!

He has definitely been discriminated against - no questions asked.

There is some precedent for this stuff to win now… Like with this:

Starbucks says it fired her for an ‘absence of leadership.’ She says it was because of her race. A jury returned a $25.6 million verdict in her favor
