When someone's politics suggest that people like me have lessor rights, then that is going to impact my view and relationship with them. This isn't hard.

Yes, it's the Dem party that is dictating what women can or can't do with their bodies, who people are allowed to love and/or marry, and trying to impose their religious beliefs in as many spheres of public life as they can in a secular country.

I seem to remember democrats ordering certain people to get vaccinations or face penalties such as losing their jobs. OTOH, they welcomed illegal aliens at the southern border in with no tests or vaccinations required.

Only federal employees/contractors including the military, were required to get vaccinated. Anyone else had the option for testing. Stop making things up.

Incoming Freshman at Harvard are still required to have all COVID vaccines and boosters. #science #indoctrination

It is a choice to go to Harvard, not a mandate. A private entity can create whatever rules they want.

Then Harvard should not be accepting any federal aid whatsoever. Nor should any student debt gotten at Harvard be forgiven, ever.

Conservatism and all forms of populism, oligarchy, authoritarianism, nativism, etc. are inherently zero-sum us-vs-them ideologies, devoted largely to exploiting and/or punishing “them”.

This is hilarious. That’s why voters are repudiating progressivism? Ask Oregon lawmakers who just recriminalized drug possession if their previously progressive stance had really been a win win for the people in the state. The resulting surge in overdose deaths was far from win win.

Exactly. “My body my choice” ended in COVID with the dictatorial actions of the left.

Private companies, private schools are not the government mandating it. Do you see the difference?

And public schools have mandated vaccines for decades. It is the way to mitigate the impact of disease, in case you were not aware.

If you want to pass a law to that effect, go for it. Most educated people understand why vaccines are important to the social welfare of the people who live in a place.

Then the people who want to deny me my equal rights should evolve their worldview. I am doing just fine and am hardly alone.

LOL. The tell here is your use of the "Democrat" epithet. You learned that from your GOP talking points, going strong since the 1950s. It's not a flattering take, but a revealing one on your adherence to a party and an ideology.

+1, this is rich coming from the Lost Cause Dixiecrats that were the true fascists and authoritarians of the 19th and early 20th Century. That's what the MAGAs represent. Heck, with the Arizona ruling, they're even returning to Civil War era laws.

It's absurd to apply that description to 70 million voters who voted for Trump.

LOL. Excellent point.

I think it's more like liberals realize that our understanding of life and nature is not concrete, and we learn more and more about our natural world as we study and open our minds to studying and research, whereas conservatives are stuck believing what they have been told is true by propaganda.

It's like how people were told that the earth was flat, and when a scientist told them that it's not, the powers that be who were afraid of losing their power on the stupid masses, jailed the truth teller.

well, if they continue to support him then it's apt.

If it weren't for double standards, democrats would have no standards at all.

It's our flip-flopping politicians that convey messages of hypocrisy and double standards as they say and do what is necessary to be elected or re-elected. Us regular citizens are generally more consistent in our views and fair with our standards. Let's stop being so hard on each other and work together to demand better from our executives and legislators in government.

How did this get three pages in without anyone pointing out:

Of complete offspring pairs, where we have variables for both
siblings, 82 pairs are biological, 96 pairs are adopted and an additional
35 pairs include an adopted and biological offspring

And

"However, our sample is limited to European
and Asian Minnesotans."

And

"However, 63%
of the included sample is female compared to 54% at intake, suggesting
males were more likely to drop out. "

And

" Following intake assessment, one individual with an IQ below 70 was dropped from subsequent
assessments " (lol)

And

"Educational attainment was assessed using self-reported years of
education. Income was assessed as self-reported gross labor income, in
thousands of US dollars." (lolx2)

This "study" is just absolutely riddled with holes.
