@Happy_Killbot and I know 2 people who were fired, in the last 18 months, because of their sexual orientatio, and baldly told so. (both in stable relationships, so Not for using the workplace for dating.) They should have sued (a Monumental committment of time, energy, & stress) but just walked away....not exactly "being treated with ...respect", was it? "The struggle is over"??!!??

@Happy_Killbot "bgger fish to fry" is one of the saddest, nastiest things I have ever read. When whole classes of people KNOW they are always going to get the short end f the stick, that their kids have to livee in fear, and struggle with the same things they do, no relief in sight, that society is being deprived in a very real way of what they might have to offer if allowed, because there are "bigger fish to fry"???!!!??? What eclipses the debasement of HUMAN BEINGS for you? The stock market? I cannot even begin to comment on your statement that "nobody treats LGBTQ" poory", you are an oblivious ostrich, at best.

@Bobbyzen or, maybe they have seen & tried to "fiix" various paraplegicvictims of chiropractic, like me & the gal using the mouth stick, just 2 from a tiny area of a tiny state, CT. Once upon a time, doctors, especially neurologists, who see this type of patient all the time, spokeout against Chiropractors snapping necks...not in general, but specifically neck-snapping, because of the very imminent threat of serious damage/death from it. The Chiropractors Assciation sued the AMA & got a gag order. Maybe you ought to find some Facts! And BTW I am a huge fan of acupuncture, andif I had lingering lower back problems might even see a chiropractor, but NO NECK SNAPPING/JERKING!

AnneWimsey replies on Sep 3, 2019:
@Bobbyzen The chiropractor is still in business, well over 40 years now, well thought of. We sued & lost. It is not the competence of the person snapping your neck, it is the concept of sudden, whipping movement in a tiny area packed with vital brain-blood supplies....the same reason they put an immediate neck brace on anyone in a car crash, for example. Just a BAD idea, ask any neurologist. And my condolences on your Mom, that is a very sad story!

I woke up with a stiff neck one day that bothered me too much to go to work. I went to the nearby chiropractor. First I got a 20 minute neck massage. Then the chiropractor gave my neck a quick jerk, and I was good as new.
AnneWimsey replies on Sep 3, 2019:
@Rustee you are lucky that "jerk" did not sever one of the 2 major arteries running to your brain through the spinal column, and make you a paraplegic. After my chirpractor-induced stroke, I found out is pretty common...i am one of the luckier ones, my remaining vertebral artery took over supplying both sides of my brain. These fools have a High School diploma and 6 months on-line or maybe 2 years of "chiropractic training", and then get to call themselves "doctor"!

@Bobbyzen well, you go to chiropractors.........I repeat, standard high school diploma and 6 month to 2 years "training", and then they are snapping your neck, where the blood vessels are tightly packed running through the spine. I now have one vestibular artery vs. the 2 most people have, as the neck-adjustments severed one.

@Happy_Killbot if you are white, you are privileged from birth, period. In fact, I am so glad in these times to be a white woman, as I have and seen, and lived through, considerable change for the better for some women (lately some serious backsliding, sadly) and have Not unfortunately seen the same opportunities and protections for either people of color or those identifying other than heterosexual keep pace. Only a privileged white dude who has remained blind to his surroundings his entire life would state otherwise.

When I worked, for 13 years, in a shipyard alongside 20,00 men, many times I could hear them talking when they did not realize a woman was there. Nothing would surprise me, Nothing. And yet, I still like men, they are just, by & large, Far different than women...and most live a very schizophrenic life, the one way they act around women, the other way they act in an all-male milieu.....I do not envy them.
What did Marx mean by "religion is the opium of the people"?
AnneWimsey comments on Aug 27, 2019:
"Opiate", NOT "opium", for starters . It means religion is a way to keep them from rising up against injustice & crapola....because "turn the other cheek" and "heavenly rewards" so it doesn't matter what is done to you(us) here now.

One question about using the deforested land for agribusiness: What happens to business when the water dries up because there is no forest canopy to sequester it in the ground? Doesn't that mean that man-made savanna lands get desertified? Also with less water, there will be less oxygen.

@jniece because 7i0-something women are the leading category of pederasts in the country.... I could question You about your use of the word "vault"....since there's only the slab the building is built on, per the Public building plans on file at Town Hall. What exactly, does your use of the word "vault" mean, as it is Clearly about something else! What secret messages are you, sending, and to whom?

@jlynn37 there are very few places left where one can smoke indoors, and the drink prices are low, low, low.
