The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So what... it's republicans in state Houses who are removing those right, not democrats.

It's back at the state level. Vote as you will.

Well, no, you didn't... Between January 1 and September 27, at least 19 states enacted 33 laws that make it harder for Americans to vote.

Biased statement. Asking for ID is not making it harder to vote.

Yes. (Hospitals would refuse care)

Uhh, sure. Hippocratic oath? Nah.

Right. Toni Morrison, the Nobel Prize-winning pornographer.

So her book was banned in some state? I doubt that.

Well, no, they're not.

Well, yes, they are, because you're conflating the issue under a misrepresented issue helpfully promulgated by the media. Nobody said "Don't say gay". What the Florida law is more about is not teaching 4th graders how to use hamsters and other things.

Young children -- those who have not yet gone through puberty -- can't medically transition. For minors, parental consent is needed for any form of gender-affirming care.

Nope. Since you're citing states, you should know that multiple blue states are pushing these procedures without parental consent:

calmatters.org - California transgender health care refuge
The bill will make California a refuge for minors seeking gender-affirming care, similar to how Assembly Bill 1666, which Newsom signed into law in June, made the state a refuge for those seeking abortions.

Sorry, but this is 100% nuts.

Umm, no. Or do you think Rosa Parks' race is not an important fact in her life story?

You dodged the question. Do you think the 1619 Project is an accurate representation of American history?

Looks like someone never took a diversity class. BTW, when did you stop beating your wife?

Nice dodge.

Example, please.

The FBI opened up files on parents at school board meetings. The Steele Dossier and the entire RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIA hoax. Others.

You lose.
