Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

At the risk of sounding like an edgy reddit atheist...

God isn't real, and most of those teens don't believe in him as there is no evidence such a thing exists.

"God is mocked openly in the public square"

Lucky one. Other gods are forgotten.

Again with the fear mongering over people that mean absolutely no harm to you as a human and are not ruining the country at all, maybe just to your career for being a prick

Pretty sure Jesus would say "love thy LGBTQIA+ neighbor" if he were present, but no, gotta crusade against the minorities because of some Old Testament law that was fulfilled by Jesus's sacrifice in the New Testament anyways

Not to mention the perpetual insinuation of America = Ancient Israel 2.0 which is a load of crap, this is an agnostic nation and always was

The weirdest part is if an uprising ever happen in the US due to their decades of terrible policy making; they'll blame the gays and Muslims for it all. So yes, their technically right...

Mike longed to see depraved gay teens being punished, but he can't watch those videos without his son knowing.

This "reasoning" is quite similar to what patriarch Kirill of Moskov declared a year ago, with the difference that it referred to the depraved "West" (not US specifically). He was harshly criticized by western media and even ridiculed for being expression of a retrograde and superstitious approach to religion.

Ironically, now the most democratic country of the world, the homeland of freedom itself, is having its political (not even religious) leaders telling basically the same thing.

How quickly the tide turns.

I'm having difficulty with the bit where you call the USA the "homeland of freedom itself". I know Americans like to believe they live in the best country in the world but the evidence to the country is pretty substantial.

Personally I think that a free country probably doesn't have a police force that's killed more of its own citizens than a hostile nation state could ever hope to achieve.

Did anyone read the email? It’s basically out of 1940. Also,

Johnson may not realize that the reason why more youth identified as non-heterosexual in the CDC’s 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System survey was because it changed its questions on sexual identity. The most recent YRBSS survey included the two following new options for students to describe their sexual identities: “I am not sure about my sexual identity (questioning),” or, “I describe my sexual identity in some other way.”

Lmao. “NO! You have to be SURE about it! Have straight sex NOW!”

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait sorry are we giving out free straight sex?
