pride parade canceled because KIDS aren't allowed

Yup.
Go on!

 

What was the reaction by reactionaries?

 

I think they do more than grind in kids faces. In fact, I think what's happening, and I know this is crazy, but certain cherry picked events where people made probably not the best choices are being shared on the internet. As opposed to the vast majority of drag show performances, which are far far tamer to the point of I don't even bother with them because yawn. So I guess I just don't care but I'm so curious as to why other people seem to care so much, they want to ban things for everyone.

 

None really, but we're just talking long hair Not fake ass titties, makeup, mini dresses with a set of balls jiggling around while children watch on

 

I know he gets a lot of hate for being communist.

But, he was the highly successful leader of the anti-colonial movement in Vietnam. Anti-colonial movements have been required for progress in many places.

>> WE should know, as WE were born of an anti-colonial movement against a western power.

He had solutions for Vietnam's economy and people at a time when western colonial powers absolutely did not have solutions - which is a commonality among colonies through history.

He was strongly opposed to Chinese involvement - as Vietnam has always been. To them at that time, China had a seriously long history of wanting (and trying) to conquer Vietnam.

Let's remember that within 10 years of the end of the US Vietnam debacle, anyone here could book a vacation there.

Once the USSR collapsed (ending USSR influence) and the US trade embargo ended, 1980's Vietnam began encouraging private ownership in industry, agriculture, manufacturing and other sectors.

Since then, Vietnam's percent of the world GDP has been steadily growing.

We have to recognize that our opposition to Ho Chi Minh was a MONUMENTAL BLUNDER that cost us dearly.

 

Actually no. The sixties were a disaster resulting in drug addiction and disease.

 

Recognizing human biology, sociology and psychology does NOT INVOLVE PERSUASION concerning sexual orientation.

Once again, Christians tried that route and totally failed.

 

Then you also missed the 1960s

 

Nope But you clearly did.. Or are you going back to 80 years old again

 

He can identify as any age he feels he is, please understand, WHY? because, logic!

 

Nothing like what we see today! Anymore 70% of todays advertisments are for some sort of rare, wicked nasty sexually transmitted SUPER FUNK!

Brings back an old saying, with a vengeance! "A pox on you"

 

Disaster or not, it was a cultural revolution. And some who participate in a cultural revolution can go over the top. Mostly it's people who go from one extreme to the other. In the end, the new culture endures and becomes mainstream. And the "over the top" people... well... they become your uncle who complains about everything over Thanksgiving dinner and can't stop telling normal folk how great Trump is.

 

Right wingers still force their children to go to church & other religious institutions despite their record of grooming & raping children then covering it up. Churches are MUCH more dangerous than drag queens or transsexuals, yet that is all right wingers seem to want to talk about. It is a reminder that this whole anti-trans hysteria has NOTHING to do with children and is all about attacking a group who are different.

 

Yes. It is a tiny percentage of drag doing it.

 

Yup! The hippies went on to brainwash today's parents while we greasers went on to build a vibrant economy! The big difference is my generation cut their hair, put on clean clothing and went to work doing the hard stuff.. The hippies, well look around at todays America, their offspring..

Ya they were a plague on America

My mom has a cute saying, "I don't know how they live here, NOBODY WORKS" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

The above isn't an argument that grooming doesn't exist. It is an argument that grooming isn't effective. It is also a demonstration that attempts at it can be very harmful.

 

Interesting take. Do you think it ok for parents to encourage their kids to watch hardcore porn? How about snuff films? Is that just the choice of parents and the government shouldn't get involved?

 

I don't want to ban things for everyone, nor am I opposed to drag shows, but sorry, I oppose putting children in that situation. Maybe you can explain to me, why is it so important to you that kids be at drag shows? That was never a thing until recently, and now it's likely to wind up on the 24 Democratic Party platform. Please explain to me why it's so important to you for children to be subjected to sexually explicit drag shows?

 

And the new culture sucks.

 

I doubt the average mom and dads know enough to control their children's online time..

 

The biggest part of that blunder was how Ho Chi Minh tried to get the US to help him get the French occupiers out and the US sided with the French against him, refused to help him, demonized him, and drove him into the open arms of the communists.

 

No. What does that have to do with a pride parade?

 

There you go! Spoken like a true Thanksgiving dinner uncle.

 

The harm done by Christian reeducation camps came in the form of violence and deprivation - in actual treatment of the children.

 

Yup, one who rembers what a decent culture was like, when Newark, Baltimore not to mention SF, Portland, Seattle were decent, livable cities.
