I'm hazarding a guess here but this is likely projection on your part. It really makes no sense otherwise if you weren't meaning to insult. Thats ok. These are forums and projection is rampant.Quote:

If I bully anyone it would be Redietz. Last thing I cracked on Kewl was for was his claiming it wasn't the gay prostitute accusations - it as that the accusation of being an ILLEGAL gay prostitute. Which is quite lol to me but we all find humor in different things.
Not all racism is caused by hate. Here is the tragic story of deceased Las Vegas programmer Terry Davis. Terry designed his own operating system and compiler from scratch called Temple OS. As you will see, Terry's racism was caused by Schizophrenia (about 59 minutes into the video, Terry starts to go on a schizophrenic rant where he uses quite a few N-bombs).

Of course it is opinion. What isn't opinion is the fact that you and Monet reply to each other constantly in a way that no one else does. I can't even think of any 2 people who begin to approach such a blatant show of manlove. Which is fine - to each his own. (And of course I'm not suggesting it is a homosexual thing but it is something and you 2 have made it known countless times.)Quote:

What I did isn't anything close to you and Monet. Ok, if you think it fits then sure but you give no justification. Honestly, didnt' mean you bring you into this as IDGAF but it was a big part of the context of me flaming keystone in return,
I did once argue that Tasha didn't have a 70 IQ but then after reading her take on sports betting I'm not so sure. Outside of that - I only stood up over the obnoxious racism that frankly embarrasses me internally for being involved on a forum where one of the main characters finds that worth doing repeatedly.
In my opinion what you think of as fact in this case is an opinion.Quote:

Just saying. Heck, I got a permanent banning on another Website for merely asking Posters to name their favorite Posters, and I wasn't a problem Poster on that Website, I was anormal, everyday, respectful and respected Poster and I got thrown out over one I'll thought out thread. I know Mr. V's racist posts even AFTER Dan specifically said the racist posts were to cease and desist is definitely grounds for a permanent banning from VCT.
Who is determining they are “racist”? The word has been thrown around so much by liberals that it has no meaning anymore.Quote:

In any case, I just don’t see anything “racist” about his adaptation of your adventures and interactions with your mother. Every needs a little minstrel show humor in their life.
I post about a FICTIONAL character named "Karen." not the board member named "Tasha."
If in fact Tasha shits the floor like my fictional character does then that's just too damned bad, what a fucking coincidence.
There's really nothing racist in me attempting from my white man's perspective to accurately reflect how southern blacks actually sound when they talk.
So yeah, "Methinks the lady doth protest too much."
Oh come on guys (Boz and V). Your posts are racist! And you intend for them to be. That is allowed here, same as all the homophobic posts directed at me, so no real problem I guess.
But don't play the "I am not racist" or "my posts aren't racist" card. :D
Let me show you how it is done. I say some racist shit. You know why? because I am a bit of a racist in certain areas. I don't like people from the middle east that hate American and attacked our country. I don't like Latinos from south America that come here and won't speak our language...ENGLISH. I don't like the "thugish" type black people. Asians are a bit annoying with the gibbering, especially Asian women.
It is a new day in American, you don't have to say "I am not racist" anymore, when you clearly are. :)
Oh and you can be racist and not like certain groups of people and still try to be respectful when dealing with them. That is what I try to do. At least until pushed by someone like the Sand Nig.

And I am gay. Not particularly proud of it, but not embarrassed or hate it either. Just very comfortable with it. And it only really matters to people that are homophobic and again, That is OK on this forum. :)

I guess I'm a bit "obsessed" with continuing my narrative: it's like a dangerous drug, it takes me closer to the edge.
But as for Tasha the person: I've no interest in ever meeting or talking to her nor to anyone else on these forums.
Anonymity is my cloak and dark humor is my weapon of choice.

I'm wondering.... what will never-Trumpers with TDS like you say when that ridiculous, seriously politically-motivated and biased "34 counts conviction" gets thrown out on appeal--likely at the SC but probably earlier? Gone will be the crutch made of bullshit carried by all those poor inflicted and misguided libtard souls. And you should know better. Trump was not "convicted" of sexual assault.Quote:

No wonder why you loosely support the lying little faggot--you act like him. He'll take whatever labels about those who have him pegged that he chooses, twist them into lies that make him feel better about his failed self, and then run blindly with them as facts....in repititious fashion.
You've watched him crash & burn time and again. Now you're doing it.
I misspoke about Trump being convicted of SA: it was a civil case with a finding of "He did it and must pay."
That case also is on appeal: we'll see.
Whatever, he has the morals of an ally cat, the ethics of Hitler, and the credibility of George Santos.
How about Herr Dictator blaming the horrific DC crash on liberal DEI policy?
Amazing...is there nothing that asshole won't do or say to advance his agenda?
Rob, I thought you and the hound were good at gaslighting but Trump schools both of you: his persona is based on it: via gaslighting he ascended to the presidency.
Trumps comments about the DC crash are despicable. Even if a politician wants to make that horrific accident political, you don't do it while they are still dragging bodies out of the river before any investigation has really begun.
As I understand it, the Supreme Court has no authority to overturn a state conviction, just the same as a President can't pardon himself from a State conviction. If either of these were even attempted, then we no longer have a constitution or United States of America. We will have morphed into a Sadaam Hussain era Iraq.
Nor do I think the Supreme court would even attempt to do so. Any Attempt would result in 7-2 or 8-1 against Trump, with all 3 of the Justices he put on the bench going against him.
I also expect the Supreme court will strike down some of the things Trump is currently doing or planning. Like housing illegal immigrants at a military prison in Guantonamo Bay. They are not going to allow THAT. He can either deport them by law or the ones that have committed crimes can be jailed and tried here in the US. Those are his legal choices.
While I disagree with most of what Trump says and does (not all), I refuse to believe that the Supreme Court is going to go along with throwing out the constitution and allowing the United States to become some 3rd world country under a dictatorship.
To those "republicans" on this forum. Donald Trump and his ideas are NOT republican. Real republican like Ronald Reagon or John McCain are rolling over in their graves.

“ A new casino slated to open in the heart of downtown Chicago is being accused of violating U.S. civil rights laws by allegedly preventing White men from investing in the project — a move that has prompted a lawsuit.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) is suing Bally’s Casino and members of the Illinois gaming commission for what they allege is racial discrimination. WILL is representing two would-be investors who say they were denied the ability to take part in the project because of their race — Richard Fisher and Phillip Aronoff — who are part of the American Alliance for Equal Rights, which is also a plaintiff in the case.“
Tasha……is this you that wrote this on Quora?
“ Mine is not fiction, and is one of many that I have liked. Over the last few years, I have come to enjoy going to the grocery (some already know this). There are several stores I like to go to. I had heard that Walmart was a favorite among those that do these things. I wanted to try it.
I was kinda full, but not holding hard, which told me that it was likely pretty firm. Once in the store, I surveyed the situation. I decided the place to be was in the automotive section, which is pretty far from the bathroom. You see, I know that, once my panties are full, I should dump it, and leave the store. By being far away, it would allow a long walk to the bathroom, with my poop in my panties, which I do like to do.
There I was, looking at engine oil or something. I stood there and began to relax, knowing that, at any moment, it would begin to slide out of me. I also knew it would take some pushing to get it started, so I began a gentle push. Time-wise, it took about a minute to get started, and two more before I could stop pushing. Another, and it was all the way out. I waited for a moment to relish in the sensations, then began my trek to the bathroom. On the way, I realized that this one was particularly firm, like a rod, and had dropped to one side, touching my thigh. It seemed to be about 7 or 8″ long, and felt particularly awesome walking like that. I did not dare try to touch it - someone would see and suspect what I had done… so I had no idea what it was REALLY like.
it seems like an eternity reaching the bathroom, to empty my panties, and I pushed on the door. It didn’t seem to open - guess it is stuck, so I pushed harder. It still didn’t open! What was going on??? Then I saw the sign — something about maintenance or some such and sorry and inconvenience…
Now what was I gonna do?? Here I am, in a huge Walmart store, standing at the door of a bathroom, with my panties absolutely full of poop!!! Inconvenient??? it sure is!! I went into a panic; what can I do?? Once calm a little, I thought sensibly. There is another bathroom - that one cannot be closed; I think it would be against the law to close both. But this one is all the way across this big store, not a short walk, and with customers and associates all over the place. I had this huge poop in my panties. My thinking went from ‘yes’ you must do it’ to ‘no, I can’t possibly; I would be caught literally with my panties full’. I pondered for a time, and came to realized that the only way was to take the other long walk to that bathroom. I stirred my courage, stood there for another moment, to relish in the feel of this bulge, and set out.
I think that must have been the longest walk I ever took to a bathroom! It seemed to take forever, while dodging customers in one isle, and workers in another. In spite of everything, I enjoyed every step of the length of that store…
Did I make it?? Yea, she did; wondering all the way if someone was gonna tap her on the shoulder.
Yes, she made it. The relief of just opening that door was tremendous.
Fortunately, my poop was very firm (as expected) and not messy, even after that extra long walk. I dumped it, flushed to make sure it disappeared. I was home free, and safe….”
Trump sued Facebook for losing his acct on Jan 6. I don't understand why a private entity can't disable accounts at will. This all comes from the "free speech" crowd.Quote:

Trump was challenged on his claim that the FAA under Democratic presidents had promoted the hiring of people with disabilities. The page Trump referenced has existed on the FAA’s website for a decade, including his first term.
Q: “The implication that this policy is new or that it stems from efforts that began under President Biden or the transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, is demonstrably false. It’s been on the FAA’s website —”
TRUMP: “Who said that, you?”
Q: “No, it’s on the website, the FAA’s website. It was there from 2013 ... it was there for the entirety, it was there for the entirety of your administration, too. So my question is, why didn’t you change the policy during your first administration?”
TRUMP: “I did change it. I changed the Obama policy, and we had a very good policy. And then Biden came in and he changed it. And then when I came in two days, three days ago, I signed a new order, bringing it to the highest level of intelligence.”
Lol Rob. It is silly to argue with you. You're a clown in this clownworld. We get it. MisterV has nothing else to do but take you seriously as he simultaneously posts on 10 internet forums all day long. You need to go make another VP lick to throw Kewl in to shock. That is where you shine.

We then see a middle aged woman frantically scuttling down the aisle, holding her shorts near the back. She ran to the restroom, leaving a trail of liquid shit behind her. It looked like when a dog is sick and you're trying to get them out the door before they make a mess all over your carpet, and they keep stopping to shit every few seconds.
An employee went in with a pair of pants off the shelf to help out. She put them on and made a beeline toward the exit without paying for them, leaving her soiled shorts in the stall on the floor.”
It’s definitely one way to get free pants!
I’ve heard too that if you are ever about to get arrested and the crime is relatively minor, one last ditch effort to avoid arrest is to drop a load in your pants so that the officer decides to just cite and release you rather than transporting you in their car.
However I’ve also heard this is a myth so who knows?
Meh. They were competent at least. Biden needed to die though. I hated Hillary but at least she'd be competent.Quote:

It is just pandering speak with no real substance. Just playing an audience or she was just too begin with to know any better?
Most Democrats at least had real jobs managing real things - these Trump people never even bothered with it and spent their time kissing as to the top and nothing. Given that is all Trump looks for - that is all we're getting. It is a real shame.

It is just pandering speak with no real substance. Just playing an audience or she was just too begin with to know any better?
Most Democrats at least had real jobs managing real things - these Trump people never even bothered with it and spent their time kissing as to the top and nothing. Given that is all Trump looks for - that is all we're getting. It is a real shame.
Trump managed real businesses. Kamala - A life time politician & career prosecutor. Biden - a lifetime politician. Hillary - a lifetime politician & attorney & author & First Lady.
Trump has had multiple bankruptcies and trump uni was predatory crap. He was handed a fortune to start with. Bondi got off the prosecution bandwagon of that one when trump gave her $$$$.
This idea Trump looks out for anything but himself and maintaining power is a bit lol but his followers will believe anything.
All I know is if I was to make a business selling trinkets of some sort - the Trump supporter mailing list would be a solid start.
I get it, to be honest both parties & both candidates were / are shit.Quote:

But looking at the big picture and forgetting about just lobbing shit at the party you don’t like:
I like that Trump is antiwar and anti-foreign entanglements. Hope he keeps that up. Shaking up the Federal Bureaucracy is not a bad thing at this point whether he does it for himself or not.
Three letter agencies & government bureaucracy is / are out of control and who’s going to fix that? Dems? Hahahaha.
If he’s offensive and full of bullshit I don’t care just on these two issues alone.
Democrats are inoffensive, politically correct, & talk a good game about being for the little guy, but what policies do they actually enact? Endless wars (along with the neocons) endless regulation & government overreach, moving us towards becoming a police state (As do many Republicans)?
No one cares anymore about what politicians say or how they come off. They care about the tangible things like no more endless wars, reduced government spending, lower prices etc. etc.
At this point he could wear a swastika, grow a Charlie Chaplin mustache and just speak solely in four letter curse words and racial epithets but if he gets the major tangibles moving in the right direction he will continue to have majority support,
All you're doing is causing a major flare-up of TDS.
And it's a beautiful thing!
If that's what you wish to tell yourself but I think if you look at deranged and read your posts an outside observer would say you have TDS.Quote:

The shaking up federal bureaucracy is something I tend to believe he can also do.
Endless regulation. I tend to believe the regulation is good but big business has a huge interest in sending the message of its evil because it slows down their accumulation of wealth. (It also keeps smaller players from getting in... that's also quite bad) Moving us towards a police state - I'd say Republicans are more about that. The weird shit where you rat on your neighbor if they had an abortion and can get paid when you had nothing to do with it???? Republicans look aside but thats as hardcore police state as anything in my lifetime. All the get the cops off people's backs are pretty much liberal cities. (Very often to their detriment). I feel you have that one completely wrong and don't think we'd agree at all. There isn't that much protecting people or the Earth itself from being poisoned. Or any of the numerous ways the monied can fuck the non-monied.
The problem with lowering prices is that tariffs are mostly going to go in the opposite direction. So instead of a normal war, you have a trade war. A trade war tends to impact the lower classes. It literally becomes a backdoor tax on the lower classes. Couple that with Trump wanting to lower taxes for wealthy. Thats the biggest problem - we hear about reduced government spending but never increasing taxes on wealthy. Due to basic math, the rich have a discretionary income that is far far larger than working class people. They simply don't/can't spend what they make. Then given compound interest the accumulate a larger portion of the wealth which they in then have to invest it. Well they run out of shit to invest in. And what they can invest in has to maintain returns which in late stage capitalism almost always means taking value away from the consumer. There aren't many advances left. So they sit around and think about how they can provide less and charge more. All the ENDLESS stories about how private equity makes things shitty for everyone. Of course the rich can ignore these issues through various means.
Then you have the standard Trump support who as Steinbeck said, 'the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires'. So true.
The effect is that it rigs the game so lower classes can't even buy homes anymore. They work their knuckles bloody trying to get ahead. You can still do it in this country but it is so hard. It wont' get any better under someone like Trump. We have to have an income tax that is far more top heavy or a wealth tax for the very wealthy. Otherwise this shit will keep happening. The game becomes increasingly rigged. The media as it is just works to make working class people hate each other. It is crazy to me that so much of the thought is based on entitlement. Once you go down the path of the left or right you just see endless senses of entitlement all through differently tinted glasses.
Trump will not fix this. He's won by blaming the brown man. They aren't totally wrong. We have to stop immigration too. Too many trashy people setting up here. Or people who don't have our values. Although Trump followers seem to often be anti-education but somehow think we can compete globally without it. Contrast this with China or asian countries. Our time at the top is rapidly winding down.
Anyway Trump is the opposite of the solution for this. Immigration , shaking up bureaucracy, and forcing NATO to pay more seem to be things I can kinda get behind. I'm just not sure the bureaucracy is such a bad thing. That's what keeps planes from crashing and shit like that. Trump doesn't even want to pay for basic infrastructure.
And this isn't even touching on the 'drill baby drill' shit. 2 years back to back global heating records. I called how bad it was about to get 2-3 years ago and was mocked by the weird with the dick fetish and Crimm. That alone makes it very hard to get behind. Trump doesn't like windmills because they make his property look bad. He isn't looking out for anyone. He's a completely petty wannabe tyrant. Those who still worship him - well good for you but it has become quite apparent what sort of person you are in various ways. Not really worth attacking Trump directly. Everyone knows who he is by now except for a few... as you see witnessing this forum.
Ultimately hes just too corrupt to do the job.
I have a friend who applied at Tesla. They said 60-70 hour weeks if you work here bub. Thats because they have a ton of immigrants on those h2b visas (or whatever the name). Thats why Elon loves it so much. I guess we get cheaper cars but they also just had a huge margin. But anyway, this goes to show you how Elon runs business but hes now in charge of our government.
Good game.
The solution to the energy issue, at least til cold fusion is mastered, has to be nuclear power.
There have been many advancements in technology since the early days, and engineers learn by mistake.
BUT (it's a big but) there needs to be a permanent, designated depository for all spent nuclear fuel to make it viable.
In a perfect world they could build only a few massive nuclear power plants, one for each region of the country, but without superconducting wires (not developed yet) too much electricity would be lost if transmitted long distance on the current grid.
Now we have people coming up who see such a bleak world they're like fuck this. Why work hard anymore? Look at what these assholes have given me. Look at how hard I have to work to have a place to live. Trump isn't doing anything to help that. Ok, lower bureacracy.. but ultimately to whose advantage? So banks can make more money through various means?
People not wanting to work so hard makes sense. You'll need to spend 60 hours a week working for Elon or whatever. why bother? Enjoy your life. I sure don't blame them.
Why have children? I have friends on the right who feel so entitled and they're angry about it. Too many non-whites. But hey if you get math+trends and see drill baby drill then the writing is on the wall. It is just fucked. You'll always be able to find a room somewhere. Why bother with the stress of a mortgage? Why would you ever want to have kids? This is going to screw the future because our whole system has relied on growth so that those now get to spend the $ of the future generations. There are so many reasons we're screwed and I'm a doomer. People just do not have the capacity to care for others or behave in a collective manner. Always me me. So much entitlement. They expect the future generations to keep moving along but whats the incentive with such bleakness?
Part of the problem is that people still talk in terms of Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives, & Trump.Quote:

Good game.
They all have some overlapping & some totally different philosophies & lines between all are blurred.
This is why it’s best now to focus on specific outcomes & policies that people want, ie lower prices etc.
Because talking in terms of Trump this and liberals that etc. is essentially starting to become meaningless.
I sorta agree but I still think Trump is totally worth a distinction. It isn't worth it to say oh orange man bad or whatever, but yea, the distinctions need to be pointed out ,..Quote:

Not unlike most alarmist greenies, really, and a carbon copy of those horrified by the way Trump is going about saving our nation and putting a sense of reason back into our government.
And I KNOW you're liking it.
That is a plurality. A majority is 50%+1. He did come close, but it remains that at no time, has he won a majority. And I know our republican friends will disagree because of the current situation, but I think it is very problematic for a minority of voters to continually be able to win elections an wield power. And the same would be true if the democrats were able to do so.Quote:

Republicans look aside but thats as hardcore police state as anything in my lifetime. All the get the cops off people's backs are pretty much liberal cities. (Very often to their detriment). I feel you have that one completely wrong and don't think we'd agree at all. There isn't that much protecting people or the Earth itself from being poisoned. Or any of the numerous ways the monied can fuck the non-monied.
The problem with lowering prices is that tariffs are mostly going to go in the opposite direction. So instead of a normal war, you have a trade war. A trade war tends to impact the lower classes. It literally becomes a backdoor tax on the lower classes. Couple that with Trump wanting to lower taxes for wealthy. Thats the biggest problem - we hear about reduced government spending but never increasing taxes on wealthy. Due to basic math, the rich have a discretionary income that is far far larger than working class people. They simply don't/can't spend what they make. Then given compound interest the accumulate a larger portion of the wealth which they in then have to invest it. Well they run out of shit to invest in. And what they can invest in has to maintain returns which in late stage capitalism almost always means taking value away from the consumer. There aren't many advances left. So they sit around and think about how they can provide less and charge more. All the ENDLESS stories about how private equity makes things shitty for everyone. Of course the rich can ignore these issues through various means.
Then you have the standard Trump support who as Steinbeck said, 'the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires'. So true.
The effect is that it rigs the game so lower classes can't even buy homes anymore. They work their knuckles bloody trying to get ahead. You can still do it in this country but it is so hard. It wont' get any better under someone like Trump. We have to have an income tax that is far more top heavy or a wealth tax for the very wealthy. Otherwise this shit will keep happening. The game becomes increasingly rigged. The media as it is just works to make working class people hate each other. It is crazy to me that so much of the thought is based on entitlement. Once you go down the path of the left or right you just see endless senses of entitlement all through differently tinted glasses.
Trump will not fix this. He's won by blaming the brown man. They aren't totally wrong. We have to stop immigration too. Too many trashy people setting up here. Or people who don't have our values. Although Trump followers seem to often be anti-education but somehow think we can compete globally without it. Contrast this with China or asian countries. Our time at the top is rapidly winding down.
Anyway Trump is the opposite of the solution for this. Immigration , shaking up bureaucracy, and forcing NATO to pay more seem to be things I can kinda get behind. I'm just not sure the bureaucracy is such a bad thing. That's what keeps planes from crashing and shit like that. Trump doesn't even want to pay for basic infrastructure.
And this isn't even touching on the 'drill baby drill' shit. 2 years back to back global heating records. I called how bad it was about to get 2-3 years ago and was mocked by the weird with the dick fetish and Crimm. That alone makes it very hard to get behind. Trump doesn't like windmills because they make his property look bad. He isn't looking out for anyone. He's a completely petty wannabe tyrant. Those who still worship him - well good for you but it has become quite apparent what sort of person you are in various ways. Not really worth attacking Trump directly. Everyone knows who he is by now except for a few... as you see witnessing this forum.
Ultimately hes just too corrupt to do the job.
I have a friend who applied at Tesla. They said 60-70 hour weeks if you work here bub. Thats because they have a ton of immigrants on those h2b visas (or whatever the name). Thats why Elon loves it so much. I guess we get cheaper cars but they also just had a huge margin. But anyway, this goes to show you how Elon runs business but hes now in charge of our government.
Good game.
Not unlike most alarmist greenies, really, and a carbon copy of those horrified by the way Trump is going about saving our nation and putting a sense of reason back into our government.
And I KNOW you're liking it.
You gotta love account with his declarations regarding things he knows almost nothing about. It's ridiculous. Those of us from the Phila/NY tabloid area have followed Trump since he was in his 20's. Hell, I attended the opening of the Taj Mahal. But account has a keen sense of who is "corrupt" and who isn't. Let me clue you in, account. I know some folks who worked in Biden's office when he was Scranton Joe. Biden and Trump have two things in common -- they are both "corrupt" as hell, and they got things done when nobody was telling them what to do.
But, folks, don't be too hard on account. He gets most of his info from dates with "college educated" women. Not college grads, mind you, but "college educated."
I'm sorry. I have no business ever responding, even obliquely, to someone dating "college educated" women. I'm clearly out of my intellectual league.
Yes i get it, a plurality of the popular vote not a majority, a majority of the electoral college, semantics. BROAD support would have been a more technically accurate term.Quote:

And the same would be true if the democrats were able to do so.Quote:

Which has the added benefit of bringing us back full circle to the title of this thread.

I totally agree but their title was 'deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy"?. We WERE talking about people at the highest positions and do real things. That person was fairly qualified even if a quite poor choice otherwise. They can't just sign a paper and have nuclear fuel shipped to someone's door.Quote:

There is a huge distinction. He's going down the path of oligarches and totally giving up on the american dream. Ok, we bring back manufacturing jobs but that is just as much to shore up our country for the wealthy as it is to help the working class. They still will have a hard time affording anything. Private Equity will still come through and destroy every positive aspect of anything they get their hands on so they can deliver the bare minimum.
I don’t think Trump could do much worse.
The fucked up thing is id take that person vs all the questionable Trump picks on an iq test. I'd bet on it too.

Redietz has so little to go off. I said that one time so I didn't hear some line about finding them under a bridge or what have you. It is quite easy to be around women if you lower your standards enough. From that Redietz jumps in little circles telling himself he got one on me. Okey dokey ditz.
Neither one of you understands the math behind gambling.
Tight team.

Whatever tho.
It all boils down to whether people prefer clown world A from the Democrats or clown world B from the Republicans.

'm really sorry you're going through this. Racism and derogatory comments are never acceptable. It's important to stand up against such behavior and seek support from friends, family, or authorities if needed. You deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

Could be a solution to the problem in the US of the shortage of native born Americans with nuclear physics degrees.
Maybe more people need to go through conversion therapy and that problem will work itself out.
