Do most Americans have nothing better to discuss rather than politics?

most of you seem utterly obsessed on this site.
Just to make this clear, this thread is not a excuse for you to ramble on about your political opinions. I dont care.
I am just asking if you have nothing else going on in your lives that take higher priority? for those that only ever talk about politics, I imagine you guys live very sad lives.
There is only very few of you on here that i have noticed are not like that but for example you dont seen anyone outside of America, be as obsessed with politics. Its just weird

That's rich, coming from you. All you do all day is sit here arguing gender politics, or race politics.
Torsten · 36-40, M
@LordShadowfire race and gender is not political
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Torsten Hating people based on them has become politics.
Torsten · 36-40, M
@LordShadowfire maybe in America. I aint hating on anyone due to gender and race, thanks. Criticism is not hate. pretty bad that has to be explained to a adult
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Torsten I've watched you. What you call criticism, decent people call hate speech.

Pretty bad that has to be explained to an adult.

Just viewed his profile and it literally is all about politics. XD

That's good irony.
Torsten · 36-40, M
@Teirdalin maybe you need a better look because it LITERALLY is not all politics
Torsten · 36-40, M
@LordShadowfire speech that you hate does not make it hate speech
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Torsten Hate speech is anything that negates somebody's right to exist, or to have certain rights the rest of us have. The fact that I have to explain this to an adult...

HORSE FEATHERS! It is not ALL politics, only 75%.

@LordShadowfire When has he ever... oh never mind. 🤣
Torsten · 36-40, M
@LordShadowfire and what rights have i tried claiming people of a certain race or gender should not have?
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Torsten You've come out as being dead set against women having access to certain medical care. You're against Florida teachers (or any teachers, for that matter) being allowed to teach children the truth about racism in America. And the trans issue... well, I notice you don't even bother to try to deny that.
Torsten · 36-40, M
@LordShadowfire now how bout actually try and come up with things i have actually claimed.
Well, You are correct on the abortion part but that certainly is not hate speech to be against murder.
Never once claimed teachers can not teach about racism in America (a dumb claim to even make). All i have said with teachers is they need to do their job and stick to the curriculum. that is not hate speech in the slightest to expect people to do their job.
What rights dont trans people have that everyone else does?

none of this shit is hate speech. Fuck me, really thought you could come up with something better.

I don't believe it is murder until the brain actually has a chance to develop. How would a spirit occupy a body with no brain? And let's be honest, I think the mother's life is just a little more important.
Never once claimed teachers can not teach about racism in America (a dumb claim to even make). All i have said with teachers is they need to do their job and stick to the curriculum.
In Florida, that curriculum doesn't include accurate teaching of history. So again, I was correct.
What rights dont trans people have that everyone else does?
According to you, the right to use facilities which correspond to their gender.
Torsten · 36-40, M
@LordShadowfire yes you dont believe it. that is your opinion and yet i am not crying hate speech over it

aww what a shame. It aint my place to say what is the approved curriculum for teachers in one place in the world. Its like any job though, you are hired to perform a task and if you are not good with that, go do something else.
you know damn well when i talked about this before it was not about racism but instead playing videos in classes. No surprise you would twist shit as you always do though.

they have that right now. try again
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Torsten
...that is your opinion...
Nope. I be spittin' facts, yo.
you know damn well when i talked about this before it was not about racism but instead playing videos in classes.
Yet you made a statement broad enough to cover the DeSantis-supported Florida curriculum.
they have that right now.
And you want to take it away.

@Torsten So you DON'T want to take away the right of transgenders to use the restroom with which they identify? And you DO want to see teachers teaching kids the truth about historical racism?

@Torsten
I personally dont care about public restrooms because i dont use them. I do howver think if the majority of people are uncomfortable around it, yeah it should be looked into. Why are minorities rights more important than the majorities?
Nice deflection, but here's the truth. If you were to use a public restroom, and a trans man came in, chances are, you'd have no clue. So what's the difference? Why would you force that person to use the ladies' room, where he would be much more likely to make people uncomfortable?
Punches · 46-50, F
@LordShadowfire A lot of people who seem dead set against anything trans basically have no clue what it is even like to be trans.
All they really know is what forums and whatever news outlet tells them.

The anti-trans have a lot of weird ideas about trans. They think it is this group of purple hair athletes invading women's restrooms. 🤣 Like this big mob saying, "Look! a woman's restroom! ATTACK!"

I know plen-ty of trans and none of them are athletes by any stretch, they do not make a scene when using the women's room, and I do not even think any had purple hair.

I know one who runs a TG group and he once said, "What is this "agenda" we supposedly have? No one ever told me about it."
Well, one lady in the group is always quiet and I made the joke, "Lisa never speaks cause she knows the agenda and doesn't want it to slip out!"
Torsten · 36-40, M
@LordShadowfire its not deflection when i clearly answered your question. You just didnt like the answer and was hoping i would straight up say i am against it so that you can continue and try and push this transphobic bullshit on me that you always try.
Not working mate, i gave you a answer, something you yourself did not do when i asked where is the hate speech that you claimed?
Torsten · 36-40, M
@Punches oh and you have a idea what its like to be trans? are you trans? if not, how the hell would you know?
Punches · 46-50, F
@Torsten yeah I guess I should not speak about something I know nothing about.
Torsten · 36-40, M
@Punches having trans friends, dont make you know what it feels like to be trans. If thats the logic you wanna use those, i can go off that logic and say the same nonsense 🤷‍♂️
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Torsten
its not deflection when i clearly answered your question.
You deflected by going into the whole "I don't use public restrooms" shit, because you assumed it was a gotcha question. Makes you seem pretty guilty there.
