  1. Yeah, no, I didn't say that. Nice spin.

     

    China is getting more aggressive in their territorial claims. Seizing and sinking ships is certainly within the realm of possibilities at this point. My comment had zero racism against the Chinese people; just a remark at Chinese policy. Unless being critical of foreign governments is now racist, in which case I guess I am, according to you.

     

    Please read more current events. You won't feel out of the loop next time.

    Ah. Texas.

     

    We really should sell, no, give it to China. We lose nothing and we weaken China.

     

    "..As a sovereign country (in 2012), Texas would be the 14th largest economy in the world by GDP.."

     

    "...The economy of Texas is one of the largest and most rapidly growing economies in the United States..."

     

    "...Texas is one of the major hubs in the U.S. for development of computer components and systems, as well as software. Austin, Dallas, and Houston are the major centers for this industry in Texas...."

     

    "...Texas is a global leader in the energy industry and Houston is the energy capital of the world...."

     

    Just saying, if Texas was "given away" to China, the U.S. would be losing a LOT.

     

     

    Okay. So we give away all (most) of it's citizens then.

     

     

    ....the citizens made it that way, not the land. Give away the citizens, and it'll be useless.

     

    The people of Texas made it successful, not what Texas is.

  3. I'm perfectly calm, I'm sitting down, and I'm drinking a cup of coffee right now. I'm thinking carefully and logically about what I want to say.

     

    And so I'm just gonna state it flat-out: One side is objectively right and one side is objectively wrong and the side that is objectively wrong does not deserve to share their views because they are harmful and hurtful and morally reprehensible. Saying that you disagree with or disapprove of another person's sexuality or gender identity is bigoted, ignorant, and morally wrong and should not be protected or allowed just because it's 'an opinion'. As has been stated way too many times already, it's virtually no different from telling somebody that you disagree with or disapprove of their race. It's dehumanizing. It's insulting even if it isn't harshly-worded. No other way around it.

     

    "I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death to protect your right to say it."
