    So the goal to discuss a topic, current event or policy in an intelligent manner is secondary to calling out democrat hypocrisy in your opinion?

    Yes, knuckle dragging authoritarians could "argue" that. They have wild imaginations.

    Another chauvinistic post, devoid of any examples, to support your opinionated contentions? While one could certainly point to some women who are an embarrassment-- I would say Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert; you would probably cite the Squad-- it is only too easy to cite men who are their equals or superiors, at being an embarrassment, & making politics, a joke. And there are certainly women on the other side of that equation, who elevate our politics, among which I would include Nancy Pelosi, Senators Tammy Duckworth & Elizabeth Warren, Reps. Katie Porter, Debbie Dingell, & others. In fact, while I don't agree with all her views, Ayanna Pressley is certainly a very intelligent woman, who takes her job very seriously, & in no way could be said (by anyone who was not himself, a joke) to be someone who lowers the maturity level of our politics.

    So, again, if there is any substance behind your opinion, I'd love to hear you present an argument.

    Your wannabe slaves are free to be slaves if they wish to be so.

    Your same Bible makes it pretty clear that slaves are to obey their masters. We've outgrown such authoritarian garbage. Ancient authoritarianism is horrendous. Women shouldn't be treated like property. Nor should we treat humans as property in the form of slaves. Fascists are definitely helping to make a joke of politics.

    Well this thread turned into the older boomer chest thumping thread.

    Women, stay barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. Nothing like the good ole 1800s.

    Not so much as the initial professor does. Can't get your panties in more of a twist than what he is whining about. "Waaaaaaahhhhh, there are women folk working in my field! Whoa is me!"

    So I should disregard the Bible because people like you say so? Who are you? You’re a nobody.

    The fact that you specifically anoint Nancy Pelosi as an idol of yours is enough to paint your entire character. That woman represents the trash that votes for her. She’s never worked a day in her life, yet she has a net-worth of literally tens of millions of taxpayer dollars.

    You are free to believe that slavery is fine. Your belief is irrelevant to the rest of us. Our country is founded on other standards, thankfully. Who are you? You're a nobody. Your faith is nothing when it comes to how our country is run. Thankfully.

    Quote from the Bible where it says it’s fine to enslave people. Don’t worry, I’ll wait. In case you didn’t notice, it was Christians in the west that outlawed slavery. Your brethren in the Middle East and Africa still practice it to this day.

    Your post, quoted above, FYI, does not constitute an argument. For example, you make the contention that, "our country is getting weaker (I never suggested that you had said that "women are weak," so you are already lodging false charges against me, which is not the sign of someone with a strong argument)." But your follow up, on that, "which is completely true," is a meaningless statement, which in no way adds any credence whatsoever to your assertion. BTW, nor would it, if you were to add the words, "absolutely, positively, and without a doubt." To be an argument of any substance, you would need proof of your assertions, by way of explanation, examples, and, if available, statistics. So that is your first
    statement, requiring references.

    Then you would need show that it is specifically the women's vote which has led to different leadership & government policy than would have otherwise been the case. I think you will find this a much harder assumption to prove, than you imagine. Perhaps you can do this with a couple of recent Presidents, but that does not equate to all government policy, by a long shot; and it certainly doesn't come near to drawing a line all the way back to women's getting the vote.

    If you were able to show some cause for any reasonable person to believe there could be any merit to those first two statements-- which I have no expectation, you would be up to accomplishing-- your third, as yet, completely baseless contention, requiring evidence, is that these leftist politicians, which are supposedly the result of female voters, have led to, "radical policies," which are what has divided our country. And yes, with currently not one iota of proof of your allegations, it is completely your fault, if I can't, "find that correlation." Put more plainly, I think yours is simply a wrong-headed and patently unsupportable argument. So why don't you prove me wrong, if you are man enough to meet the task, of backing up your grand claims?

    Those who are currently dividing our country, in the view of a plurality of Americans, are those who refuse to accept the 2020 presidential election results, as legitimate, and who support using force to abnegate election results, with which they disagree. Though there are a good number of women among that group, they do not predominate. Then, the great majority-- who are vaccinated against Covid-- would probably agree that anti-vaxers are dividing us. I am willing to bet that more would agree with this statement, than with your proposal, that it is, "radical left politics," that divide the country. Thirdly, I would say that racist attitudes divide the country, most prominently those of whites against blacks, which has ever been a circumstance of our country. Note that these rejectors of our political system, of the advice of our medical profession, and of the racial diversity that is an ear mark of our society, are NOT predominantly liberals, but rather, Republicans. Kind of shoots your case to hell.

    I don't have any brethren in the Middle East or Africa, unless we are talking about all of humanity being my brethren. As for the Bible excusing slavery . . . maybe try reading the damn thing? Is that really such a tall order?

    The Chinese outlawed slavery before Christians in the west did. And Christians in the west outlawed slavery . . . because Christians in the west had made slavery legal in their lands in the first place.

    So in other words, you can’t quote from the Bible where it says enslaving people is “fine”. That’s what I thought. Just another baseless BS claim from someone who worships politicians.

    There is so much wrong with this post that I’m not even going to entertain it. I could literally write a paragraph response for every BS sentence in here, but you know what? You aren’t worth a single keystroke more.

    I took it for granted that you had actually read the Bible. I'm sorry I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe try reading Ephesians 6 to start off with? Colossians 3:22? 1 Timothy 6:1-2? Titus 2:9? And I haven't even gotten into the OT verses where God actually COMMANDED people to obtain slaves.

    Can you not read your own Bible? Predictable. That explains quite a bit, actually.

    You're talking about the bald commie Ayanna Pressley, right? The one that wanted to "cancel rent" (while simultaneously and hypocritically collecting rent from tenants in Boston)?

    And that "proof," in your eyes, shows that you have absolutely no real argument, that is, no intelligent point of view that can be laid out factually, and logically. Your contention, if you have already forgotten, was that giving women the vote has led to our politics being a joke, & our nation being divided.

    Note that your reaction to my supplying of actual examples to refute your position-- that you have a low opinion of Pelosi & so my listing her as someone who does not debase & invalidate our politics (not "anointing," her as someone I, "idolize"-- so that is already the second time you have mis-represented my remarks, including falsely alleging that I mis-stated yours, which is a pretty poor indication of your own moral character) totally invalidates anything I say, as far as you're concerned-- does not speak to your having any actual rational argument. You are supplying no counter argument to any of my IDEAS. Instead, you are jumping to a judgement against my CHARACTER, and not based on my own actions, as I judge yours, but based only on a politician whom I respect for her work. So, which of us is displaying a divisive attitude?

    God set out rules to be obeyed regarding how to treat slaves, as I’m sure you know. Exodus 21.

    If God set out rules for how to treat slaves, it must necessarily be acceptable (“fine”) to own slaves.
