      I looked for the GK Chesterton quote, and I couldn't find it. If he said it, please let me know. I've read a lot of Chesterton.

      There is such thing as too much freedom. A society must have some frame of reference to be objective and properly integrated. The freedom to do and believe whatever you want is dangerous when it hits extremes. This is modern America.

      when i was a teenager, i had a lot of friends who got tattoos, did hard drugs, stole stuff, had sex with many people, colored their hair etc. I di not do those things and after a few years gave up those friends. It became easy to see they were not good people and many could not be trusted. What if i followed along and did all the same things, what kind of damage would that have caused me? I am glad i thought for myself.

      Parents aren't allowed to be parents anymore. If you don't affirm what your child comes home from school and says they identify as, the parents are demonized as bad people. Meanwhile, there are people in the education system telling children, whose minds are already susceptible to being molded, that gender is a social construct so they come home from school saying they think they're non binary and it spirals from there

      I thought it was a stupid question for Michael to ask and the kid proved me wrong with that twist ending

    Michael's patience with this poor little dude, who's been brainwashed, is commendable!

    "I'm a black man. Do you believe that?"
    "Well.... I don't have any ancestry data.... and if I don't agree with you I get a consequence. I don't wanna get a consequence."
    It's like he's a mixture of a semi-functional college student and a 5 year old boy.

    The guy kept bringing the argument back to, “if someone truly believes something about themselves”. The part he’s missing is that just because someone truly believes a lie, doesn’t make it the truth. And if it is a lie, anyone who affirms that lie is doing a grave injustice to their supposed friend.

      Yeah, but public schools have been feeding their victims a steady diet of subjective reality since the 90's at least. This poor guy never had a solid foundation to see through that sort of thing.

    I have great respect for that young man that was willing to actually dialogue, unlike so very many that yell cliché mantras to others. Thank-you good sir!
