    Fine. Just don't say Charlie Kirk is blaming inflation on transgenders. Therein lies the lie.

    He made it sound like that's what he was saying. And that's dangerous.

    The idiots that listen to him and people like Trump and the Tuck tend to make those kinds of leaps...

    That would be ludicrous and he's not an idiot.

    It's propaganda. Which makes it worse.

    There's fake news on all sides. It is what it is.

    CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): So, one of the reasons why we take such a strong stance and opinion on the trans issue is it's an issue of reality. You do not get to determine your own reality. You do not get to suddenly say, I'm rich or I'm poor. No, we actually have to look at some evidence as to whether or not you're rich or poor. Now, some of those are relative terms - rich according to who? Rich according to what? I understand that. But relatively, some of the terms we use -- short, tall - you can't just make them up and say, oh wow, that person is taller than that person, that person is faster than that person, that person is stronger than that person.

    And one of the reasons we've been so insistent against this idea you can change your gender, or change your sex, or change both of them, is that when you start to indulge in the belief that you could become whatever you want and reality is subjective, not objective, you're going to have ramifications that nobody anticipated or intended.

    So, there's a direct connection to inflation and the trans issue. You say, Charlie, come on. They couldn't be further apart. No, they're exactly the same. They're the same in this aspect - when you believe that men can become women, why wouldn't you also believe that you could print wealth? If you believe that someone can change their gender, why wouldn't you also believe that money is wealth?

    Now there are very simple laws of economics. Just like there's laws of nature. There's laws of physics, laws of thermodynamics, laws of biology.

    We must to – we must live according to those laws. We believe there's a lawmaker and a designer and being Christians, we believe those laws were made to be followed for our flourishing and our prosperity. The law is a teacher. The law is a guide to how to properly live. You live in defiance to the law, you lie steal or cheat, you actually won't flourish. You'll be miserable. You'll be unhappy. You'll get further from god's wish for you. Now outside of the religious component of this, we also believe there are laws of economics. There are laws of economics just like there are laws of physics.

    I'm opposed to fake news on any side. Anybody engaging in such antidemicratic activity is evil.

    Dude... That must be painful. Where there is that much smoke there must be fire.

    This is what crandc said:

    I simply disagreed. Charlie Kirk did not "blame" inflation on transgender people. He made two separate comparisons. There's a difference.

    Uh huh.

    Do you have a crush on Charlie Kirk?

    I suggest you send him a letter asking him to be your boyfriend. You can even add a check yes or no box on the letter for him to give you an answer.

    No I didn't. I made no comment. I only provided information that directly applied to what was being discussed.

    Why are you like this? Like seriously, explain it to me. Why are you the way you are? Why do you choose to be this way?

    See, I have a hard time understanding experiences that aren't my own, and as a result I doubt their intentions. Maybe if you explained to me why you act like you do, that would help.

    I'm just asking.

    Why, simply because I challenged what someone said? (....which was totally untrue, by the way.) Then bagged on sly, thinking he was rushing to defend her? There's a bit of history there that you've probably missed. I see sly as giving her a pass at every corner, every context, every debate, every issue. I'm a completely different individual, and I have all the right in the world to defend my positions. In doing so, I don't necessarily toe the corporate line unless it involves abiding by the rules of condust in here.

    @SlyPokerDog , we need to update the rules of condust up in this place. Gotta include "playing the victim is allowed" in the new rules.

    What exactly do you want me to do to her?
