Well said +1 I wonder if that will be enough to bring this sad little roundabout to a halt??? 🤒1 point

LOL It's an interesting point. Almost any government decision is good from someone's point of view. The current UK government is clearly plutocratic. But within that context, the politicians arevery competent. They are doing a fine job of making sure the rich get richer. They aren't " incompetent and corrupt"; they are very competent in their corruption. They get away with it.1 point

Also piles of teeth, hair, items made of hair as well as the leftover belongings of the victims (suitcases, glasses, rings and everything else they pillaged from the bodies). In Germany school classes would have exchange with Poland and we would go to Auschwitz (or other memorials) to see the exhibits, clean the paths and spend time thinking about it. It seems that others would benefit from it, too.1 point

My conjecture is that forums don't so much ban holocaust denial as they require such extraordinary claims be backed with evidence or withdrawn. Given the abundant evidence for the Holocaust, including Allied footage, mass graves, testimony of survivors and soldiers and German officers, government documents, forensic analysis, intact gas chambers and crematory ovens (which my partner saw herself, when her German mother took her to see), and numerous other lines of evidence, I feel there's a pretty high bar set for countering evidence. A good friend in high school had an uncle who still had a number tatooed on his arm, from his time in a concentration camp. People were stamped with numbers. Like cattle. I asked him if he ever wanted to have it removed and he said absolutely not. He wanted people to remember. He was a real mensch.1 point

It is clear. It can be clearly understood by a layman. Therefore, there is no such a room. I do. I know why it doesn't escape. It is simple and consistent. There are no ambiguities. This is what has happened in your case, I assume.1 point

My current conjecture for most probable and most accurate explanation here is trolling of an uber boring variety.1 point

! Moderator Note Advocating for racism or holocaust denial is going to result in a very quick exit for you. Trying to appeal to some crappy logic is not a mitigating factor1 point

Fry's realization and ensuing internal cognitive resistance illustrates that these states of the human condition are not arbitrary choices.1 point

12 Area units is correct Here is my derivation, avoiding equations one way or another. I use the property of rectilinear similar figures that the areas are in proportion to the squares of corresponding sides. So firstly complete the rectangle ANIM by adding 3 extra squares, making 6 in all. DH is a right bisector of two sides so passes through the centre of the rectangle at K AI is also a diagonal of the rectangle and more importantly bisects CE. Thus CK is equal to KE. Call this s. CK is one side of the triangle CKJ which we are given has having 1 square area unit. Triangle CKJ contains the same angles as triangle AMI since AN is parallel to MI. Hence triangle CKJ is similar to triangle AMI., with side CK corresponding to side MI Since the length of each side of a square is 2s and side MI occupies 3 squares its length is 6s. So the area of triangle AMI is (6)2 times the area of triangle CKJ or 36 area units. Triangle AMI is exactly half the rectangle ANIM. So the total area of the rectangle is 72 area units. The rectangle is comprised of 6 squares so each square has an area od 12 area units as required.1 point

Most of the problems LGBTQA folks have are because of you and those who think like you. Their outlook is only bleak when confronted by those who deny them the right to identify themselves as they wish, something I'm sure you want for yourself. That's the "real denial".1 point

You seem to be weirdly hung up on nomenclature. As these categories do not exist yet, I do not know what one might call them. For all the relevance, you could call them Category 1 and 2. And it might surprise you, but featherweights do not actually weigh the same as a feather. In addition, there is no reason why age cannot be a factor (there are age categories in sports already. For the rest of your question, you almost make it sound that sports does not have any regulations. Who determines eligibility of athletes ? Who sets and enforces weight classes? Who determines what is considered doping and how it is enforced.... right now? If that was an issue, we wouldn't have sports in the first place. Moreover, one of the argument of separation is to ensure safety of the athletes. So in that regard, doesn't it make more sense to separate them according to measurable parameters such as body weight, muscle to weight ratio and so on rather than just by genitalia or karyotype or whether they can bear children? The latter three parameters generally do not cause injury in among competitors, as far as I am aware of.0 points

I might have missed some intermediate posts, but fundamentally, when we talk about transgender inclusion, we are talking about some level of some level of HRT. AFAIK, folks that have not undergo some level of gender affirming therapy do compete based on their assigned sex (which usually is based on presence of external genitalia), rather than the gender they are representing. That being said, I found some articles discussing something that we have been circling around in this thread for a fair bit, is the idea of using "athletic gender". The basic idea is to designate athletes to a gender for sports performance only and using a quantitative criteria based performance. Originally the idea was focused on testosterone levels, but has been expanded (similar to our discussions here). But the basic idea is the same, use quantitative parameters to create categories.0 points

My interpretation: "After review, for the purposes of this sport, you are assigned <insert gender>". That does sound practicable.-1 points

I have come to this conclusion based on time dilation which has occurred in my awareness in the last year or two. I've been reading a lot of Riemannian and Tensor Calculus in the last year, and am still becoming more aware of what each and anveryone's human mind can do. We're more powerful than you think, a lot of people have succumbed to the media and other. Since I did this Antarctica went from melting to freezing, a deep freeze actually. The North pole can be fixed once the Southern one is, this can't happen at the same time.-1 points

Indeed. The hell of logic. A bitch, isn't it. Well, it seems that it was logical enough to befuddle you. So what are you. A fetus? I'm pretty sure you saw my thread, "How wrong are you." Why is it so hard for you to understand. For whatever you think is right or true, chances are the complete opposite is actually the case. In this instance, history is written by the victors. And you better believe it. OR ELSE! But I disobey. While it lasts, seek out my thread here in the philosophy section called, "Where are the seekers of truth." You better do it quick. I don't expect it to last long. Did the holocaust happen? You should have seen my thread about logic. If it did happen, you should be able to say it didn't. Because you could then be proven wrong. But denying it isn't allowed around here. So the logical conclusion as to why is because it in fact didn't happen. (Just as Roseanne Barr said) Now I'm not sayiong it didn't happen. What I am saying is that the actions of this forum in a logical way is saying it didn't happen. Make of that what you will. My logic is spot on. Only those who have become accustomed to delusion would think otherwise. Next, try this on for size. Though I haven't done it here, at other forums I have denied the holocaust. You speak of wasting your time? Hundreds of people at many forums over the years have tried to refute what I had to say. THEY ALL FAILED!!! Miserably. Oh how I wish I could tell you the real truth. On MANY matters. If only it were allowed and if only you weren't programmed to disregard it. Just as any cult follower would do. Those who deny freedom of speech are scum. Tell me more of how you enjoy being at a scum forum.-2 points

Being a science forum, I would think that there are educated people around here. Being that, in theory, there should be people around here who are interested in the truth. "IF" you are one of those people, this isn't the forum to get it. From what I see, this forum is as much about censorship as most other forums out there are. Your utter and complete ignorance outside the realm of science seems to be what this forum is all about. If you don't have the freedom to think, then you are just a slave. If these things don't set well with you, I will tell you one of the things that your masters probably won't allow me to say to you. After all, my username is Disobey. Come and seek me out at a forum where you have the freedom to think. (At least to a greater degree than I have found at most forums) It is called the Freethought Forum. My username is the same there. I will tell you that which you aren't allowed to hear.-2 points

Not that logic is hell. But I have found that the average political forum views logical thought as hell. And will ban you for using it. For example, let's take a logical look at the topic of "racism." If racism is wrong, what is wrong about it should be easy enough to point out. So that if anybody came along and said something racist, what is wrong with that point of view could be pointed out. Therefore settling the matter. But the vast majority of forums won't let you say racist things. The only logical conclusion as to why is because there is nothing wrong about such statements to be pointed out. So if it isn't wrong, that must mean it is good. While I'm here, I may as well bring up another topic. The holocaust. If the holocaust happened, it should be easy enough to prove that it happened. So if anybody said things to deny that the holocaust happened, it should be easy enough to prove that it did in fact happen. But most forums won't let you deny the holocaust. The logical conclusion as to why is because it in fact didn't happen. Otherwise they would let you deny it and be proven wrong. On that last note, I will show you something said by Roseanne Barr. Who is Jewish. What a moderator told me at another forum was that what she said was taken out of context. (Before he banned me) But look at how she says what she says. She was being serious. As if that wasn't enough, I watched enough of the interview to know that what she said wasn't taken out of context. Also, the way she described how most businesses operate was spot on. That aside, here is the clip. Strangely enough, this can no longer is shown directly in the internet. What is shown is a lot of damage control and plain BS on the matter. Roseanne Barr.mp4-3 points
