And the military generally keeps mentally impaired people from joining as over the history of the Military, mentally unwell people have posed not just a threat to it and themselves, but to civilians around them in a conflict zone

@Toilet Hugger why not everybody?

Or everybody. I don't care. Just mentioned LGBT because that's the topic

@Zilla well most mental issues that are not genetic result from troubled upbringing and emotional trama

@Toilet Hugger if we do everybody i could get on board with that

@Zilla and a group with a high sucicde rate because they parents hate or aboandon or don't exe[t them, that could lead to some serious stuff

I don't know a lot about military etc but wouldn't hurt to let every aspiring soldier get a checkup on their mental stability before they join so incidents like that guy who killed his own comrades because he was a extremist doesn't happen again. (I forgot the details of the case)

great idea, I agree i was just confused because I though you meant only for LGBTQ people

Oh yeah I remember. The dude was a muslim extremist that joined the military and then launched grenades at his officers or something like that

there are extreemists from ISIS to IRA to the klan, all bad

So what exactly was the original argument here?

I think it is strange to assume that the transgender suicide rate is so high because of how they are treated in society. The attempted suicide rate is at 30%. Pre and post operation shows almost no statistical difference. That rate is as high as the suicide rate of German-Jews during the Third Reich. For homosexuals, they only attempt suicide 12% of the time. That’s still high, but arguing that transgender people in the western world are treated more poorly than Jews in Nazi Germany or, for example, gays in Iran, I think is ridiculous.

no, that is true, but the jews parents loved them, also can I have your stats

For what specifically

idk what's going on per se, but I would like to just say, it doesn't matter someone's circumstances or how they are raised, if you do not qualify to be in the army because of a mental illness or mental disorder, you are simply just not qualified. It does not matter if you are born with it or if it due to the way you were raised, you still do not meet the requirements for the army. Sure, maybe we need more programs or ways of dealing with these things, but just saying " oh well it's due to my childhood" doesn't dismiss the fact that your mental state poses risks in the army. Military, I mean

Reminds me of the 300 scene with Ephialtes

don't understand the reference sorry lol

Oof, sad

I don't get why they hate that woman so much

Because she was chosen by Trump

And orange man bad

So innocent lady who is intelligent and a good mother and wife is also bad

Makes so much sense

If Obama chose her, the Dems would love her so much

And what’s up with that Republican senator who didn’t vote for her?

the dems i have spoken with are fine with her but aginst the idea of either side having a supermajority

oops sry, second dm, its on good news

wher

😅

good news

world news?

> ok, the problem is as follows, an abortion is, in a vast majority of cases done is a last resort within the first 22 weeks. And back ally abortions are super dangerous. so in short it is a matter of safety and I understand exactly where you are coming from.
@chaz

Actually less than 2% of abortions are done for medical reasons. All the other 97.7% are done as a contraceptive.

yeah, and its one good life or two broken ones, it is never contraceptive, it is if multiple birth control methds fail
