Bill Maher Goes Off On Neil deGrasse Tyson

[OldFlame]

He acknowledged that she was fired and no longer writes for the mag and that the reputation of the mag shouldn’t sit on the actions of one editor.

You're conflating two different issues. the person fired had nothing to do with the article being addressed.

Talking snakes?

Book of Genesis, a talking snake convinced Eve to eat an apple off a magic tree.

He wouldn't state a scientific fact, that had everything to do with political opinion. If you have to deliberately steer away from stating a scientific fact, you'd think you'd ask yourself why you're doing that. What was the purpose for his dodging Maher's direct question?

It wasn’t about fact. Obe already show how context matters and how in this case quotes from that article were taken out of context. Did you read the article. I’d put money down that the answer is No

Yall are coming at this from a place of ignorance rather than curiosity

Most places have gender-neutral bathrooms now. It's just not a big deal.

If they are single-seaters, yes because it is one person in there at a time. I have no problem with that. The issue is when you have men and women using the same bathroom or locker room at the same time.

Works on the assumption transgender is a delusion.

It is.

As I pointed out, there is an abundance of evidence that transgender brains operate like their preferred sex.

How do you suppose we separate a person suffering from this mental disorder from those that like to dress up like a woman to catch a peak or worse?

Funny, I imagine a racist in 1950 saying the same thing, and most of them did.

Race is most certainly different. I understand that is beyond your mental capacity to process.

So don't get upset when I slip and call you "Cleetus".

I don't get upset. It is like making fun of your boss' boss who voted for Trump and lives in the South. You think they are stupid and you are enlightened, despite the fact that they write your paycheck every month. Its funny and a little bit sad.

1) It's not a mental disorder, just another form of sexuality. Seems to be more about your insecurities.
2) Why would anyone dress up like a woman to catch a peak when PornHub is free? Other than Trump, I don't know of anyone who thinks watching a lady pee is exciting.

Race is most certainly different. I understand that is beyond your mental capacity to process.

No difference at all. You have no more choice in your sexual identity than you do your race.

I don't have a boss's boss who lives in the south. I would be very hesitant to work for a company that is headquartered in Jesusland.

More efficient than it was after DeJoy started ******* things up.

I knew I could count on my mail arriving with 1-3 days after I sent it.

Now it's more of a crap shoot, and I usually mail things out a week before they need to get there.

LOL. Your TDS is a real thing.

Transgenderism? Transgenderism isnt a sexuality.

Correct I misspoke. I should have written “works for” not “writes” it was an editor that was fired.

Completely false.

You may want to get a list of big companies in the South before making such proclamations.

It's not a mental disorder, just another form of sexuality. Seems to be more about your insecurities.

It doesn't matter what someone THINKS they are. You can call it whatever you like. What don't you understand about that?

Why would anyone dress up like a woman to catch a peak when PornHub is free? Other than Trump, I don't know of anyone who thinks watching a lady pee is exciting.

You would know all about PornHub. I won't argue with you on that point.

As far as catching peak, you don't think a man would want to watch women shower at the gym? You can't be that naive can you?

 

[Captain Caveman]

While agreeing with Maher on this subject, it doesn't appear to me that Tyson is defending the article. He points out that the person is no longer employed at the magazine and this demonstrates a rejection of the point of view the person expressed. Maher is at him to state something in the way Maher wants and Tyson has a reflex not to be thus manipulated.
The so-called left has certainly chosen many ridiculous causes to embarrass itself with, and the same could be said of the so-called right. This should show us that being all right or all left all the time is all wrong.

Yup, I saw Tyson as a fence sitter, not being drawn into slagging off the Scientific Magazine. As he had said, it wasn't the view of the magazine, it was the view of author that no longer works there.

 

[Slade3200]

Explain how it was taken out of context.

The quote mentioned inequalities between males and females not being because of biological differences but because of social constructs or something along those lines.

I was speaking to somebody in this thread who was pointing to that as anti science because he thought that was saying that males and females are equal in a biological level and that is absolutely opposite of of what the article was about.

He was taking the word inequality out of context.

Yall should just read the article

The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong

The influential idea that in the past men were hunters and women were not isn’t supported by the available evidence

My question was rhetorical

My answer was direct so you could not play your idiot Slade games. Got it?

 

[Slade3200]

My answer was direct so you could not play your idiot Slade games. Got it?

Sure. Take a note from your boy Shapiro and don’t get so emotionally invested. It’s all just a game

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Before we kick the can to another article that some guy wrote let’s finish the discussion about the topic at hand.

Have you read the actual article now? Do you understand the game being played and how you and others are distorting the message and taking the paragraph you highlighted out of context? The article was NOT calling males and females biologically equal. Do you have enough humility to admit that?

They didn’t, then they did. They weren’t careful with their language at all. And given context of their radical ideology they clearly support, I have no faith that they would outright declare men are better than women in sports because of biological reasons. I think they’d be afraid to say it because it would offend their woke/trans base

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Sure. Take a note from your boy Shapiro and don’t get so emotionally invested. It’s all just a game

Eh? I got Kids. I am emotionally invested. I do not have Ben’s $$$ to live in an isolated community. I get your pt.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

LOL. Your TDS is a real thing.

We need to encourage him though… his “evil white people” and “opposing men in women’s sports/bathrooms is transphobic” positions are what killed and will kill the Democrat party as far as being taken seriously by the middle voters.

As much a woke nutjob as JoeB131 is, the best thing that can happen to conservativism and the GOP is for people like him to keep talking.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

He said female distance swimmers have a biological advantage… so he didn’t stay out of it

 

[Captain Caveman]

But women distance swimmers was an add fact to the conversation. On the whole, men are stronger at sports, but Tyson was nearly pointing out one subtle difference. These differences and facts are allowed from either side of the fence.

Most Americans are binary in thinking, they deem folk MUST be either for or against.

1. Men are men and women are women.

2. “Gender” was a concept invented in the 1960’s by academic perverts who ran experiments that involved ejaculating children

3. If a person thinks they are a different sex, they have gender dysphoria, and the compassionate things to do is help them move beyond it over time.

4. You and your woke tribe are harming these people by convincing and cheering them into confusion, high depression, and high suicide. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves to be so heartless.
