  1. I am so happy he is dead and double happy he witnessed the world turning gay-friendly.
  2. One of the main reasons I wanted the Politics Forum open was for everyone to know the troglodytes living with us. I was wrong, we do not need it. I am glad a few masks are falling. Let's keep celebrating.
  3. The non-intelligent and the authoritarian have always mistaken criticism for hate or intolerance. Those two threats are often found together.
  4. I do not want this thread to die; it is a meaningful conversation. Let's try to stay on topic. No one is saying that gay and trans are the same or trying to erase differences. When we advocate for joining the fight for trans rights, we are not blurring diversity (by saying we are the same) but embracing and celebrating diversity (by saying our fight is the same). Perhaps one of the oldest principles of political strategy is that your enemy's enemies are your friends. I have no doubts that the entire LGBTQ+ collective should be united now.
  5. Unfortunately, the subject is a bunch of gossip dumped by the OP, adding to the fear-mongering narratives around insecurity in Rio. I vote for locking this thread.
  6. It is even more telling of the character of the man who chooses his pastoral.
  7. I understand that the Dark Side of the forum wants to tarnish the joyful event. Let's not allow them. This is a celebration. Da Bitch is dead!
  8. That is true! But apparently, you think Argentina is not a Capitalist country. I was so happy when I thought you understood something!
  9. Ha, look who understood the essence of Capitalism.
  10. The world looks a little bit better today.
  11. I don't know whether the outcome will be mass psychosis, but American selfish individualism seems to drive the nation to a crisis.
  12. Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson dies at 93 WWW.FOXNEWS.COM Pat Robertson, founder of the global Christian Broadcasting Network, has died at age 93, the...
  13. This is not true. We do consume drugs across all social classes South of the Border at a meager price. The US is suffering a severe case of anomie. I recommend you to take read of Le Suicide, by Emile Durkheim. It is outdated but surprisingly relevant.
  14. Did you read the news, guys? I think we are comparing apples and oranges. The victim was not a tourist, but another Brazilian The GP is only the second suspect The mastermind was a TV producer who manipulated the boy Once again. Be careful, as you should be. But you should not let fear-mongering narratives cloud your judgment. By the way, anecdotal information is useless, but I was In Rio last April and November. I even got lost a few times and walked alone in not-very-nice neighborhoods. I have never seen a crime, and I have never felt unsafe. Indeed, Rio is dangerous, and you have to be careful. Be careful.
  15. Feliz cumpleaños!
  16. Unsurprisingly, you did not understand my point. It would help if you supported whatever you think is right instead of hiding behind public opinion.
  17. I guess you are subscribing to your friends' views. I've heard Conservative (culturally Conservative, this is not Politics) people (their sexuality is irrelevant) saying the same. It is a cowardly argument. Instead of standing up for their anti-trans beliefs, they fake empathy with the progressive cause and ask for slowing down the speed of change. From my point of view, doing the right thing is essential whether or not it is popular. And that starts by being honest about what you think is right and wrong.
  18. Going back to the topic, I bring back this post because I want to expand on that idea. One of the best side effects of the debate around trans is that it makes ALL dissident sexualities and identities more acceptable. It highlights up to what point Culture is a human historical construction, and at the same time, shapes human nature. It fosters mutual respect and celebrates diversity.
  19. Indeed. And we brought Madrid's example to deal with that situation when the anti-communist parroting started.
