I like, that you are carefully avoiding the fact, that Islam in itself is a deeply homophobic religion. Unlike christian churches in christian countries, no strangers to homophobia themselves, the fact remains that there is no islamic country where homosexuality is even legal, let alone gay marriage. Pulse as an…

The ‘good’ trolls at least manage to play along. They move goalposts, make outlandish claims and insult others while claiming ignorance. You just play dumb. That’s boring. I’m out.

This is what I’m sure of:

What total lack of evidence? That Heard is an abuser? She got arrested once for hitting her then gf. I did not implicate that YOU said that, just that this is the usual talk at jezebel, whenever male dv is discussed. I’m sure you vehemently disagree every time.

Where did that ‘once an abuser always an abuser’ infallible logic go, every time a male abuser is discussed around here?

I hate to tell you that, but neither your sexual orientation nor the fact that NYC has stricter gun laws will make you safer. The terrorists in Paris back in November did not specifically target gay people and France presumably has much stricter gun laws than NYC. Whenever islamic terrorists decide to hit western…

But it helps.

They should have done so right after the decison to give Qatar the world cup years ago. A world cup without Brazil, Argentina and the European powerhouses would have been a no go.

Maybe Gawker is trying to cut down on labor costs. I’ve heard they need every dollar theses days.

The same story and video about Adele and Tony Visconti AGAIN within less than 24 hrs? Geez, that burn must have been really traumatic for Adele and her fans. How is this poor woman ever going to recover from the criticism of this one guy who doesn’t like her music that much?

No need to. Walkin’ After Midnight is one of my all time favorites :-)

Opera singers just being a perfect example of vocal range, that’s all. Visconti did not cite Hendrix and Cobain as great singers, he just mentioned them being great artists. I don’t know what the fuzz is about. If a woc, any woc, had said the same thing about Adele, many people around here would have had a party.

or how much has been manipulated

We know Adele has a great voice but it’s even questionable if that is actually her voice or how much has been manipulated.

You’ve mentioned, that there were several countries besides Israel that conscripted both men and women. I listed them. No need to get pissed.

If you define vocal prowess solely as vocal range, then no pop or rock singer could measure up to classical opera singers. Many people, myself included, would not agree.

Some dickhead tried to say that my voice was not me on record

Israel, Bolivia and Norway might be the the only countries that had to deal with these issues, b/c the other countries you’ve mentioned are Eritrea, Chad, Mozambique and North Korea who conscript men and women alike. Something tells me, that transitioning might not be an option in these countries.

I’m talking about the possibility to declare yourself nonbinary gender without transitioning. Women don’t have to serve in countries without a voluntary army (except for Israel) and nonbinary people with an xx chromosome would have no physical advantage competing against men, but non binary people with an xy…

An army vet, now this is interesting. Many countries still have some sort of mandatory military service. In almost all of these countries only men have to serve. Could/should a man be able to avoid military service by claiming non-binary gender (with or without the physical transitioning?), if this became the law of…
