There's a whole "Gays For Trump" organization out there from memory, LGBT group.

Not really a LGBT group. The alt-right garbage gays like Milo Yiannopoulos have been cruel and dismissize to the "T" in LGBT, and are more than willing to throw them to the wolves.
Of course, once our transgender brothers and sisters lose their hard fought rights Pence and Devos will leave the "L", "G", "B" or "Q"s alone!
First they came for the...............

Well there's also the Uncle Toms who call themselves the Log Cabin Republicans. "As long as my 401k is doing good, screw the rights of other gay people less fortunate than me".

The gay versions of Kanye West.

I think the Saudis are convincing and have it right. President Trump (who had a great election victory by the way) has a knack for intelligence and believes the Saudis after a critical assessment of the evidence and weighed it against the planned arms deal. There’s no reason not to believe the Saudis.

Information is beginning to creep out there that Khashoggi was a trained warrior in the ways of Tahtib and he enjoyed dueling. Once the Saudis reveal this last bit of crucial information, hopefully the world will finally believe that his death was an accident.

They will further reveal that the referee for what was meant to be a fun and recreational Tahtib match between Khashoggi vs the 15 men was late and will be suspended from his sports duties going forward.

I actually saw one say gay conversion “therapy” torture shouldn’t be outlawed since that would mean fortune tellers should be outlawed as well.

Reasoning: both lie to their subjects.

Leaving out: gay conversion centers are forced upon youth, causing life long psychological damage if not suicide.

Their “rationale” is truly warped and bizarre.

We need our own nickname like Uncle Tom for them.

 

[Teelie]

I actually agree with them. Fortune Tellers should be outlawed or at least heavily regulated since they prey on the gullible and claim to offer real insight when they offer nothing but lies.

And they aren't even half as bad as "therapy" camps. So let's go forward and ban fortune tellers and "conversion camps" because the last thing this world needs is more lying and cruelty in it.

 

[Schlosser85]

Well most fortune tellers you could just charge with fraud.

Hey, I get what you're saying, but my aunt is a fortune-teller and Tarot card reader, so I really can't support that. And I believe in the power of psychics to sometimes have real insights into the future - I know, call me crazy, but that's what I believe.

 

[Teelie]

Okay, Crazy.

 

[THORin]

Good. Takes one to know one, after all.

 

[Mandon Knight]

He probably thinks it stands for 'Lying goading bastards be truthful'.

I should have clarified.

That was their warped reasoning for why gay conversion SHOULDN’T be outlawed. The person was anti stopping gay conversion centers.

 

[Teelie]

I know what you meant they meant but I still think fortune telling should be more tightly regulated and "conversion therapy" outright banned.

 

[Schlosser85]

"Conversion therapy"---which should always be in parentheses because it's debunked fake psychiatry perpetuated by hacks---is outright child abuse and psychological torture. That it's still legal anywhere in the United States in 2018 is morally repellent.

Well, one of their supporters is now the VP so that is even more f*** up.

My wife and all of her friends all went to fortune tellers in their younger days. Some of them still go on occasion. The best of them are damn entertaining and harmless. It's a far cry from the outright cruelty and quackery of conversion therapy.

 

[Schlosser85]

I think the problem isn't so much fortune tellers, but the kinds of people that prey on grieving families and take advantage of them and bilk them out of money by claiming to communicate with their dead child or whatever.

This is it exactly. It's harmless fun for some people but a desperate and prolonged grieving process for others that cannot let go of a loved one. It's the difference between someone who buys a lotto ticket every week and someone who is addicted to gambling and spends their days in a casino.

Conversion therapy is the worst thing anyone ever devised.

Worse than that is that people are playing with forces they don't understand. Ouija boatds are worse than cards but both are foolish as there have been plenty of stories of people calling forth things they didn't intend and were afterwards tormented by. I'm being serious. There have been too many stories for all of them to be fake. It's best to just leave such things alone.

 

[Teelie]

Sorry to say but I think it's all made up.

Following its commercial introduction by businessman Elijah Bond on July 1, 1890, the ouija board was regarded as a parlor game unrelated to the occult until American spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized its use as a divining tool during World War I. Spiritualists claimed that the dead were able to contact the living and reportedly used a talking board very similar to a modern ouija board at their camps in Ohio in 1886 to ostensibly enable faster communication with spirits.

That's because it is.

Definitely agree. Such devices tempt spirits to attach to you or to come to you. It’s playing with fire. This is coming from someone who grew up in a haunted house. Anonymously I can say that on here, but tell very few offline due to knowing how they’d react.

Also hint: most actual real psychics wouldn’t want people to know - similar to the film ‘Hereafter.’

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Occult forces do not exist in my opinion and have zero basis in rational thinking. Stories of people calling forth powers or connecting with "the other side" are indeed stories and nothing else. In terms of politics even in the modern world, it's never a good thing to mix an irrational belief in unscientific physical or spiritual forces outside of the intentions and hopes of the human mind with politics and policies. We can see that explicitly still in modern world where in some places like Africa fools trust in local "medicine men/women" to cure their HIV/AIDS using supposed occult power which puts others at risk because of said reliance on quackery instead of real and effective treatment and prevention or in developed nations implicitly with such things as the anti- vax movement.
