    if the government made a law that you had to be sterilized to get false teeth, or any other medical procedure, I would call that being forced to get sterilized

    how about a law that says to declare yourself a Christian you must be sterilized, you think that would not be forced sterilization?

    would you still think it was not forced, all you have to do is not do that?

    did they or did they not do this

    ""the state-sanctioned sterilization of trans people." That accusation is based on a 2015 brief the ADF filed with the European Court of Human Rights, arguing that EU member states should be allowed to make medical transition a prerequisite for changing one's legal gender."

    Nah... we'll (with a few deranged exceptions) leave the violence to those best wired to implement it...

    You guys keep salivating over the thought of doing something like Jan 6 again.

    The extreme Right has a long history of violence.

    Gladly and easily.. here's a well documented piece with dozens of quotes..

    https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/07/24/alliance-defending-freedom-through-years

    I was trying to figure out 1 single quote that disturbed me the most, but it was too difficult to narrow it down... narrow, as in the minds running this group.

    But this one works as a solid example of hate lying I suppose - “The homosexual agenda is at odds with religious freedom.” (2011)

    they go out with Harvard men
    Oh the freshmen up at Yale get no tail

    Oh the Sophomores up at Yale get no tail
    Oh the Sophomores up at Yale get no tail
    So that half the freshmen class
    has to take it up the ass
    Oh the Sophomores up at Yale get no tail

    Oh the Juniors up at Yale get no tail
    Oh the Juniors up at Yale get no tail
    So to release their frustrations
    They resort to masturbation
    Oh the Juniors up at Yale get no tail

    Oh the Seniors up at Yale they get tail
    Oh the Seniors up at Yale they get tail
    But after three years with the guys
    they can hardly get a rise
    Oh the Seniors up at Yale they get tail

    Oh the Bulldog up at Yale has no tail
    Oh the Bulldog up at Yale has no tail

    Oh the Bulldog up at Yale has no tail

    I did no such thing.

    Im just saying when you create an environment in which it is acceptable to shut down other peoples opinion and then move on to supporting violence against the other side... there are people out there who will THOROUGHLY enjoy participating in that paradigm you created. Just don’t be upset when they’re not on your side.

    That’s not forced sterilization lol. The sterilization is a BYPRODUCT of a “sex change”. Which if they want to change the SEX on their birth certificate, makes sense to require.

    I believe their point was, if you want to be legally considered a female you should have female body parts. Seems pretty simple and reasonable. They're not suggesting forcing anyone to do anything. Certainly not worthy of calling them a hate group.

    The history of the Right is a lot more violent than the Left in this country. They also have a history of looking for excuses to get that way.

    That looks a lot like an excuse.

    No you confuse observation for justification. I’m not attempting to justify what’s going to happen. Just observing the course of events.

    Where violence is most prevalent in our country would be in the inner-cities which overwhelmingly support leftist candidates and leftist causes. And they've got all kinds of excuses for their violence.

    Check the advertisement of the event. Ya know, the stuff that sits on the flyer posted, , or sent to the local paper etc or to the local radio station. If it says for example,

    " Enemy Combatant,, The Geneva Conventions and the New Dawn in Law Enforcement
    Fulbright Distinquished Chair Professor John Yoo
    coming August 23, 7:30 pm to speak at New Horizon Auditorium

    Then we have a pretty good bet, that is who the people that rented the venue, paid the speaking fee, organized the security, set aside the seating, and publicized the event did all that for. Even more to the point, that is the public who bought their ticket, set aside their time, got a baby sitter, set out their clothes, got in the car, fed the parking meter, walked two blocks in the rain, stood in line and who's ideas on waterboarding they expected to learn that night. You and I may have different ideas on whether the public ought to be subjected to that man's revisionist history, but that was the event that was advertised, and that is who's ideas need to be presented on that night at that place.

    I doubt that the majority of those who bought a ticket and a $2.50 parking pass, put aside the time to hear the hecklers shout him down with one phrase screams of 'Torturer!' 'Drown Dick Cheney! '2, 4,6, 8, who should we eviscerate, Yoo, Yoo, yes Yoo!"

    If we can accommodate both, in such a way that the protesters have their say before the event, outside and Yoo gets to have his inside the venue contracted for, at the time contracted for the paying public advertised, that is the best of both worlds.

    Don't believe this event would be as controversial as your example. According to the article this was "hosted by the Yale Federalist Society, featured Monica Miller of the progressive American Humanist Association and Kristen Waggoner of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a conservative nonprofit that promotes religious liberty... The purpose of the panel, a member of the Federalist Society said, was to illustrate that a liberal atheist and a conservative Christian could find common ground on free speech issues."

    Seems pretty benign except to those who hate free speech.

    I suggest you review the article, there are many red states that don't have large populations.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/mone...n-america-violent-crime-murder-rate/40968963/

    Now if population density is a factor, well that has been going on since civilization started.
