@travelingflying As a female, I find it highly offensive that anyone would suggest that women need anything other than a policy against giving a less-qualified male candidate preference because of his sex or gender identity.

@SkylarSkye3 There’s a difference between an opponent and a rival.

We’re generally fine with opponents, but rivalries can get very ugly.

@EKaht @sappholives83 If it’s gender-affirming care, why doesn’t my insurance cover it?

@LeahRay44 Many Americans have difficulty disagreeing without becoming disagreeable.

If you mention abortion, transgender rights, immigration, the death penalty, or gun control and express an opinion differently from the person with whom you are speaking, things can get ugly.

@DellAnnaLuca @pythagoreanmetr Medical school is very cost-intensive. If a student drops out, the school either needs to replace that student or go without the income from that student’s tuition.

[S.J. @SJ_from_CLE]

@DellAnnaLuca Recruiting highly qualified candidates involves much time and expense, and there’s a limited pool of people who are intelligent enough to handle the coursework.

This weeds out the students who benefited from high school grade inflation, saving the expense of replacing dropouts.

@Verginius_post @MyBearNinja @gtlpguanthwei @Mrgunsngear Yeah, those pesky drafters of the Bill of Rights. Why stop at denying due process? Wouldn’t a Bill of Attainder be more efficient?

@tinky1966 @MissyE2024 I’m in Northern Ohio, and it’s the same situation here.

@Avabelly__ Awww, I hate you too

@HaFragginHa @TheHippyOfDeath @japan_nobunaga If you didn’t believe that, we wouldn’t respect you. 😂

@MyBearNinja @gtlpguanthwei @Verginius_post @Mrgunsngear The 14th Amendment Due Process clause doesn’t work that way.

And, your “right to remain silent” comes from a case where everyone knew the guy was 100% guilty of carjacking, kidnapping, and rape, but he appealed to the Supreme Court. (The guy’s name was Ernesto Miranda.)

@muheediva01 I did have a cell phone in 1995…

@japan_nobunaga Japan is an island where nobody has guns, so they’re not a threat.

In the States, A LOT of people own guns, and not all of them are law-abiding citizens. The only weapon that works against a gun is another gun.

@HaFragginHa @TheHippyOfDeath @japan_nobunaga And the injured person was from That State Up North.

@Verginius_post @Mrgunsngear @gtlpguanthwei That's an interesting interpretation of the Constitution. Not supported by any case law, but interesting.

[S.J. @SJ_from_CLE]

@Verginius_post @Mrgunsngear @gtlpguanthwei ANY defendant is entitled to due process. Even the guilty ones. The "speedy trial" language is to protect the defendant, not to circumvent the appeals process.

And, YOU have the "right to remain silent" because a guilty kidnapper/rapist appealed to the Supreme Court.

[S.J. @SJ_from_CLE]

@gtlpguanthwei @Mrgunsngear If the wrong person is punished, that's not a "correction" at all -- it leaves the real offender free to commit more crimes.

[S.J. @SJ_from_CLE]

@Verginius_post @Mrgunsngear @gtlpguanthwei Due process is a fundamental right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. If it's something that can be waived because we "know" the defendant is guilty, where is the line drawn?
