It exists. Get over it.Yea, the .00001% of attention seeking confused need their day.
The mentally ill have always been with us. There are more today for a lot of reasons with maybe the largest being excessive drug use. What is different today is trying to get people to believe that mental illness was normal, but the very definition of "normal" does not agree. How the twisted logic works in the minds of some, I have no idea...but it too is much too prevalent. What started this was not an accident. If there was a desire to not have a mental day coincide with Easter, but still want to honor the mental illness...do it like voting. Make the second Thursday of April be the mental illness day, but that was not the desire...as was a similar event that took place in the Marienplatz in Munchen when I was there. That place/event was chosen as well. These are not random events, but strategically desired.Yea, the .00001% of attention seeking confused need their day.
Hillary Clinton is the epitome of Machavaelian politics. Her Clinton Foundation was the inspiration for the Biden Crime Family. However, Hillary was right that it takes a village to raise a child. I will go one step further and I think the Russian plan to attack the foundation of religion and family back in the 50's started showing results in the 60's. This is when divorce started to rise and the government favored one parent families. Kids need two parents, and the mother staying home until the kids became teenagers helped curtail this mental illness. Plus, I wish they would bring back mental hospitals. Having said that, people who have conditions that are different or that I don't understand are not mentally ill, and they deserve the same rights as everyone else. However, downplaying Christianity in a Christian foundation country is idiotic, and highlighting something that affects a small percentage of people should not ne highlighted during the major Christian Holiday.The mentally ill have always been with us.

No doubt whether Russia started it, or just socialistic promotion started it I don’t know. Some would blame the influence of the Frankfurt Schools right after the war into the USA. For them, Gramsci and Hegel’s dialectic influence into education was a start. Fundamentally, there is a fork in the road in the basic understanding that each must take. Most believe that your rights and responsibilities come from God individually as just a person, or the government (which is anything other than the individual) and those paths are paved very differently and go in very different directions.Hillary Clinton is the epitome of Machavaelian politics.

When I was young the neighbors knew each other as well. It was a small town and I think it was common practice that the norms and mores were similar in those small towns. Work was more local as was TV and the media in general. There was an identity that was somewhat insulated from the rest of the world and even larger city issues leading to the possibility of more similar thought and experience. This insulation was both good and bad, but it was insulated. As you described divorce or single family homes was not near as devastating as today in quantity. Another thing that took place around your age I'm guessing and mine was the increase of consolidations in schools and the death of those smaller towns where people gathered in various avenues for activities in school. In spite of the increased academic opportunities and cost structure, consolidations had some problems as well.TJ, you and I love debating sports, politics, and religion. And as always, you make some great points.
I was born and raised in a small village on Long Island. When I think about the phrase, "It takes a village." I remember that everyone in a forty mile radius knew either my father or mother. So, if I did something out of line, they knew about it. And if an adult said I did something wrong, Clarance Darrow could not get me off. In retrospect, I wish I was more confrontational, because many of these adults were idiots. However, as flawed as it was, I wish more neighbors and villagers today got more involved.
And the one thing right that I did as a parent was to start attending Church together, and praying with my kids, especially when we went out to eat.
So does leprosy, but we don't give them a special day.It exists. Get over it.
Wait don't we have a George Washington day for all he did for the country? oops, never mind...So does leprosy, but we don't give them a special day.

Did a USA president proclaim such? Ole Wiki, although not allowed for research you can find interesting things there...and this was one. Would never have guessed someone made it a dayWorld Leprosy Day - Wikipedia

I don't know why this would matter with respect to whether or not the day exists, but I'm sure if you really wanted to know you could find out.Did a USA president proclaim such?
I'm not going to go through the whole thread, but was under the impression this started with Biden making a big deal of Trannies rather than just a mental illness day and proclaiming such publicly. There are lots of people suffering from mental illness...many caused by drugs flowing across the open border that he could have lumped all the illnesses together and brought awareness to them, but didn't.I don't know why this would matter with respect to whether or not the day exists, but I'm sure if you really wanted to know you could find out.
You're welcome to call it a mental illness, but the mental health community doesn't agree, so recognition of the day does not bring "awareness of a single mental illness, but neglect(ed) all the other mental illnesses..." in any official capacity.I'm not going to go through the whole thread, but was under the impression this started with Biden making a big deal of Trannies rather than just a mental illness day and proclaiming such publicly.

From 2023: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...roclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility/Then there was the concern that he not only made awareness of a single mental illness, but neglected all the other mental illnesses by doing such and this got elevated by him not doing it last year or the year before
So you think, March 31st was deliberately chosen in 2009 (by someone who was decidedly NOT, Joe Biden) so that, every once in a while, it would coincide with Easter?That is when I said...do it like "documented legal" voting or something like the second Thursday in April every year and therefore Easter has it's own day as it has for many years before...but I just don't think it was an accident in choosing a particular date that would change days each year
O'Bummer? Well, I guess since there was controversy over Easter, Biden is about ready to schedule it on the some weekday in some week of the month like the second Thursday of April. Any idea when he will correct the day O'Bummer put in place? Yeah, they have mental issues. Could they be a nice people...yes, but so can other people with mental issuesYou're welcome to call it a mental illness, but the mental health community doesn't agree, so recognition of the day does not bring "awareness of a single mental illness, but neglect(ed) all the other mental illnesses..." in any official capacity.

Be mad about it because you don't like trans people if you want, but at least don't make shit up.
So you think, March 31st was deliberately chosen in 2009 (by someone who was decidedly NOT, Joe Biden) so that, every once in a while, it would coincide with Easter?
Ok to have your opinion, as long as you're willing to acknowledge that while YOU think it's a mental illness, the mental illness professionals do not. As long as you're cool with disagreeing with experts, while admittedly having no expertise of your own, more power to ya.I have a sexual preference that a few people may label a perversion, so I am careful not to judge others. However, IMO, the majority of homosexuality and transgenderism are a mental disease, possibly amplified by a chemical imbalance. However, I do not know enough to comment.
No he didn't: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...tement-from-president-joe-biden-on-easter-2/; https://whitehouse.gov1.info/easter-egg-roll/I am commenting here, because Transgender Day and Easter fell on the same day, and Biden shafted Easter religious traditions and promoted Transgender Day instead, which I find abhorrent.
Now you're suggesting Obama chose the date?O'Bummer?
Biden didn't set the date and it's not a government holiday. How would he go about changing it?Well, I guess since there was controversy over Easter, Biden is about ready to schedule it on the some weekday in some week of the month like the second Thursday of April.
Again, you think Obama chose the date? Where are you getting that?Any idea when he will correct the day O'Bummer put in place?
And once again, that's your opinion, but, I supposed that since most people have mental issues of some kind and of varying severity, you're probably safe in saying this. Though the current mental health experts don't regard simply being trans itself as a mental illness. Gender dysphoria? Sure, but that's not the same thing. One can be trans and NOT suffer from gender dysphoria.Yeah, they have mental issues.
How magnanimous of you.Could they be a nice people...yes, but so can other people with mental issues
You did it now! He or she came after you with full vengeance on your religious nonsense! This gets so confusing with boys identifying as girls and girls identifying as boys and either identifying as dogs or cats or even birds…whatever the imagination holds. It seems like it would be easier to have them identify as a worm and then they could hold both sexes. Not sure what this says https://washingtonstand.com/news/tw...-transgender-by-adulthood-massive-study-findsI have a sexual preference that a few people may label a perversion, so I am careful not to judge others.

I'm not sure that "came after" is a fair assessment, but I do think when the post in question says "Biden shafted Easter religious traditions and promoted Transgender Day instead, which I find abhorrent," that it is reasonable to conclude that religion plays a role.. If not, it would've been abhorrent on any day, not just because it was Easter.You did it now! He or she came after you with full vengeance on your religious nonsense!
What we do know is Biden can change it. I'm betting he doesn't for a lot of reasons.I'm not sure that "came after" is a fair assessment, but I do think when the post in question says "Biden shafted Easter religious traditions and promoted Transgender Day instead, which I find abhorrent," that it is reasonable to conclude that religion plays a role..

Do we know that? Why would it be up to the president of one country to set the date of an international event?What we do know is Biden can change it.
Whatever reasons there might be not to move it (and I'd be interested to hear what you think those reasons are), what reason is there TO move it?I'm betting he doesn't for a lot of reasons.
Of course Biden can change it for the USA. The other countries can do as they wish assuming of course the people have any power to do such which they may have already given that up? There are a lot of religious people that consider Easter sacred. There are a lot of people fully aware that Christ existed, but may hold back on whether He is the second person of the Trinity. They consider him extremely good as a person and don't want his sacrifice diminished, as they see him as an exemplary man, even if they fall short of seeing him as the second person of the trinity. They share in that honor. Then there are agnostics that see no reason in diminishing a tradition they see as important even if they are still mixed up as to what they believe. So Biden can change it if he desired, but I doubt he does. We had similar attacks on Christmas in the past with the censorship of the word Christmas in some places.Do we know that? Why would it be up to the president of one country to set the date of an international event?

Do you think this is a federal holiday we're talking about here? TDOV is March 31st. No government decided that, advocates did. Biden has simply chosen to acknowledge it. Be mad at his choice to do so if you want, but this notion that he should change it because one time it happened to overlap with another holiday is just stupid.Of course Biden can change it for the USA.
Acknowledging another thing that happens to fall on the same day as Easter does not diminish Easter.The other countries can do as they wish assuming of course the people have any power to do such which they may have already given that up?

So Biden can change it if he desired, but I doubt he does. We had similar attacks on Christmas in the past with the censorship of the word Christmas in some places.
So because the "dems" want to control us, they secretly conspired to make sure that TDOV would get created and be put on a day that, every once in a while, overlaps with Easter, thus ensuring that people will be less Christian and believe their rights only become from the government?Biden is unaware of where he is and what he may say if not controlled carefully, but his handlers have no desire to move it. They have their game plan of Intersectionality at play and prefer that people believe their rights come from the government rather than inalienable rights . People that believe in inalienable rights are not as easy to be controlled and everything the dems do and some pubs is about control. Therefore you start out with a fundamental fork in the road and they want to control what path you take in the woods because it makes all the difference.
Then it's a good thing Biden acknowledged and celebrated Easter in the manner the president and White House has done for decades, yes? But also, the lecture about the superiority of Christianity over other religions is not relevant to this discussion. Yes, I agree, lots of people are Christian and Easter is important to them. The celebration of Easter was in no affected by the recognition of TDOV on the same day.Religion was an obstacle for Russia to overcome as it was for China and Christianity which had its start 600/800 years before Islam is in the crosshairs of many Islamic countries as well. Yet Christianity is the only religion that told of Christ hundred of years before and the only religion that the growth took place as a result of the death whereas other religions grew as the the leaders life grew. So Easter for many is important. Even Muhammed considered Mary superior to his own daughter Fatima and so this country has always had a strong lean to Christianity and so those inalienable rights keep posing a problem.
You criticized Biden for being "unaware of where he is," but you can't maintain a train of thought. Why is the COVID response a part of this discussion? It has ****-all to do with anything.There are more I'm sure you know, but there are all kinds of examples of wanting to control beyond shutting down a country, firing people that never got the shot and publicly blaming those without getting the shot for spreading Covid when in fact there was never any inclination that getting the shot prevented transmission.
Many lives were ruined, many business lost, many people fired and many doctors threatened through the control and censorship that took place. We still have censorship and has been commonplace
You keep saying I'm mad and yet you don't get it. I have a LOT of things I'm much more concerned...starting with the border and his spending, but you have no idea it appears. If Biden wanted to change it he could. What I tried to show was that there were a lot of people not happy and if that was a concern he can simply change it. It is that simple. Covid was about control. I said that an you missed that as well.Do you think this is a federal holiday we're talking about here? TDOV is March 31st. No government decided that, advocates did.

And show me one example of the word "Christmas" being censored. Otherwise this is just the Christian persecution complex rearing it's head.

Again, WTF does this have to do with the topic at hand?You keep saying I'm mad and yet you don't get it. I have a LOT of things I'm much more concerned...starting with the border and his spending, but you have no idea it appears.
So apparently presidents should only ever do things that will avoid making "a lot of people not happy." Good luck with that. And again, you keep saying he could change it, but how is it up to him? He didn't choose it in the first place?If Biden wanted to change it he could. What I tried to show was that there were a lot of people not happy and if that was a concern he can simply change it. It is that simple.
COVID, again, has nothing to do with TDOV. You made the point that you think the proclamation was about control, but there's no reason to then say "also COVID was about control, also X is about control, also Y is about control." It doesn't help your argument to make a bunch of other claims.Covid was about control. I said that an you missed that as well.
Judge not, lest ye be judged. What do you think you know of my background from this conversation?I'm not on here to continue to discuss things with you, because I don't think you have the background to make it worthy.
The "all lives matter" statement was offered in direct opposition to the message of BLM. One was actually connected to the other. TDOV and Easter are completely unrelated. A question: April 2 (a day that could and will again be Easter at some point in the future) is Autism Acceptance Day. Biden did a similar proclamation. Should whoever is president the next time Easter falls on April 2 decide to similarly recognize Autism Acceptance Day, will you be similarly unhappy and come on here saying it diminishes Easter?Now, your talk about not diminishing Easter. Not too long ago while the democrats were allowing burning and looting of cities to go on a white person spoke out about ALL lives mattered and that was shouted down saying it "diminished" the movement about the drug dealer and BLM.
But it's not relevant. Easter wasn't ignored, and another religion was not recognized in the place of Christianity. Also, there are lots of Christians who WEREN'T unhappy about it, so for you to speak of Christians as a monolithic group that all think the same thing is unwarranted. If Biden HADN'T recognized TDOV, that would've made a lot of people unhappy, too.This thread was about Easter and the mentally ill. I tried to show how and why many consider Easter more significant in the USA than other religions and one area that separated Christianity from the other religions.
My issue is that you're calling a "problem" that needs to be solved in the first place and also, as I've said multiple times, it's not clear to me how Biden could unilaterally change the date of an internationally-recognized day. But also, clearly he didn't think it was a problem, so there was nothing to eliminate.I attempted to state that if Biden considers a lot of the population upset he had an easy avenue to eliminate the problem...if he choses.
I mentioned he handlers wouldn't do that and they want to grow the blob however they can, because they want total control. If you do believe what is in front of your eyes...who am I to say you shouldn't? This whole wokeness and Intersectionality has no home in a solid mind.
Rather than respond to the my previous post, which has a lot in it, as did yours, let's see if we can wrap this up with just a couple short questions, and let's stay on topic. We don't need to talk about COVID or the border or BLM. Here you go, first question:You keep saying I'm mad and yet you don't get it. I have a LOT of things I'm much more concerned...starting with the border and his spending, but you have no idea it appears. If Biden wanted to change it he could.

They thought it diminished the importance of BLM to mention that all lives matter and so we just saw a public debacle, where the ignorant competed with the ignorant in a race to stupidity. This thread was about Easter and the mentally ill. I tried to show how and why many consider Easter more significant in the USA than other religions and one area that separated Christianity from the other religions. I attempted to state that if Biden considers a lot of the population upset he had an easy avenue to eliminate the problem...if he choses.

And I ask again…WTF is TDOV.Transgender Day of Visibility
Is there a day to recognize the straight heterosexual people or are they just considered the wackos of our society?And I ask again…WTF is TDOV.
Do we congratulate trannies for something?
Dudes that like to dress like women… gee, that’s worth celebrating.
Did you not recognize that I answered your question? If you're looking for further details, Google is your friend.And I ask again…WTF is TDOV.
If you think such a day should not exist, that is your opinion and you're welcome to it, your use of a slur notwithstanding. You asked what it was, and I told you.Do we congratulate trannies for something?
Dudes that like to dress like women… gee, that’s worth celebrating.
This gives real "why isn't there a white history month" vibes.Is there a day to recognize the straight heterosexual people or are they just considered the wackos of our society?
You missed the joke.Did you not recognize that I answered your question? If you're looking for further details, Google is your friend.
If you think such a day should not exist, that is your opinion and you're welcome to it, your use of a slur notwithstanding. You asked what it was, and I told you.
The actual topic of the thread was Biden sends Easter Message. The photo pasted talks about Biden’s issuing the first presidential Transgender Day of Visibility. What followed was some disgusted that Biden issued the first presidential proclamation on Trans Day of Visibility . You went on to state that actually Obama started this as part of his fundamentally transform America years before and even stated that other countries did this…recognition specifically of this mentally ill demographic. I tried to show without the obvious stating of this country the Judeo-Christian background. I went further to show the huge difference in all the other religions from Christianity. The other religions grew as a result of their leader growing. Christianity grew the opposite, or as a result of death. You took that as an indication of my stating that Christianity was superior…which it is.Rather than respond to the my previous post, which has a lot in it, as did yours, let's see if we can wrap this up with just a couple short questions, and let's stay on topic. We don't need to talk about COVID or the border or BLM. Here you go, first question:
You said that Biden didn't recognize TDOV "last year or the year before," implying that he did so this year specifically because it happened to be Easter. Do you now accept that he did, in fact, recognize it in 2023, 2022, and 2021 as well as 2024?
you might want to erase this. Regardless of color, most people without mental issues are straight...everywhereThis gives real "why isn't there a white history month" vibes.
