Why do you think BDS is just a troll? I think he is like BL, but less radical and more intuitive. Of course, that is my first impression and you have a whole week of BDS posts that I haven't seen, so I could be wrong.

Intuitive is the farthest thing that he is from and it is possible that he is more radical than B_L.

Are we, in the most active Donald Trump thread, just going to ignore the fact that he admitted his campaign was trying to conspire with Russia?

My view on trans rights is that, in general, we should allow transgender people to do whatever it is they want to do. Use the preferred restroom, be referred to by their pronoun of choice, dress however they want, date whoever they want, marry whoever they want, etc.

When you specifically ask about sports it becomes a little more difficult because there is an actual advantage to be gained by competing as a biological male against women.

In that case, 1) it’s not always easy to evaluate biological sex. There is an athlete from South Africa (I think), who dominates women’s track meets. She was born female. But she’s probably intersex. She has elevated testosterone and a male body shape, but female genitalia. 2) Even if someone is born male and transitions to woman, where to they compete if they want to compete? It’s a genuinely difficult issue to solve.

OK so should the boy have been allowed to play against my 6th grade girl? Yes or No? In your opinion. There is no wrong answer. I don't think that was fair but no one cares what I think.

I don't know the law but both Dershowitz and Shapiro say this is not a crime and neither is HRC using Fusion GPS, which relied on British Intelligence. I'll put it this way if I needed a defense team, I would not opposed to Al and Ben defending me so I'll take their word for it.

It’s a crime to conspire with a foreign government to benefit your campaign. That’s pretty plain.

It’s also a crime to conspire to hack someone. You don’t have to actually be the one hacking or have paid someone to do it for it to be a crime.

It’s not that there’s no wrong answer, it’s that I don’t know what the right answer is.

Is it a crime to pass government information through a privately owned server in your bathroom?
