Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

Interesting how I highlight Trump literally threatened war with Denmark over Greenland and not one MAGA responds, instead keeps responding about immigration. Interesting. So is this a case of choosing to ignore Trumps stupidity and pretending it doesnt exist. So why should this board jump to the pathetic beat of others demanding we answer them with facts on the talking points they want when they refuse to even acknowledge this.

Maybe someone cant ask the lack of brains trust in the MAGA thread, asking them why they think Denmark should just had over land to the USA because Trump wants it. What if in 5 years Trump wants Tasmania because of some oil deposits. Should Australia just hand it over?

I bet they pretend that the threatening of Denmark never happened.

And they were calling Biden the warmonger

So it has now been revealed that Trump on Air Force One has laid out his plan to wipe out Palestine and remove it from the map. He has said he will call his friends in neighboring countries to assist the USA in cleaning house, which appears to be MAGAs favourite buzz word. So Trump has literally said he is prepared to commit genocide. So this rhetoric of Genocide Joe. Trump is a week into his reign and already he has made his idiotic supporters on this page look like the flubs we all knew they were. Oh wait, this must be fake news. Or more likely they arent aussies, so they dont care. Just dont get refugess to come to Australia would be the company line by the right wing nut jobs desperate to suck Trumps............
 
Honestly, everytime I now type Colombia my spell check keeps screwing me 😂

I've typed Colombo 5 times, wasn't he an investigator on TV

Edit - no capital of Sri Lanka, that was Columbo 🤣

Peter Falk was Columbo - which I remember well in my youth with him wearing that fawn trench coat. The memories.
 
My wife who is ex US military and is a member of a female military page on facebook saw posts last night forwarded on that basically announce the end of DEI as well as protections from harassment. Which comes as no surprise. Pete Hegseth said he wanted to remove women from the military and Trump wants to remove gay soldiers as well. And we have clowns on this page and the maga thread who dont give a flying crap about americans, think Trump is a laugh and love everything he does. But they dont give a shit about what he does. 'he is just cleaning house'

Take the positive, if the US goes to war again (it is just a matter of time), then the grunts will be the ones being killed and not the women and gays etc in the forces. Always a silver lining.
 
The previous system WAS working. It was just done quietly and with human dignity considerations whereas Trump is putting on a show.

It is literally like a live version of The Truman Show.

Some people and governments do the job of governing without making a big deal - Trump needs to feed his disciples so they think he is doing stuff.

Has the price of eggs come down yet?
 
Trump wants to kill national funding for education which 15 states who will be the most heavily hit and are the most reliant on federal funding voted for Trump. You can't make this level of stupidity up. Now they are all panicking.

They can suffer - actions have consequences. Stupid is as stupid does.

No sympathy at all. **** em, they were warned.

Yes, funny.

If you don't understand how sex development works, anyway.

Female is not the "default" and embryos don't "all start as female".

Gonadal tissue starts out undifferentiated, not female, and it then develops male or female depending on genes - which, guess what? are fixed at conception.


“All human individuals—whether they have an XX, an XY, or an atypical sex chromosome combination—begin development from the same starting point. During early development the gonads of the fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female.”

Where is that quote from? It doesn't make sense...

During early development the gonads of the fetus remain undifferentiated
Correct, as I said. Undifferentiated, not female by default.

"that is," but the second half of the sentence is unrelated to the first.

all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female
Even if you could argue that embryonic genitalia APPEAR female (a phenotype) - and I don't think that's true except perhaps at an extremely superficial level - that does not mean they ARE female.

Sex is determined at conception. There is no development path from female to male.

Here's a good explainer from a biologist:



Note in particular the 4th and 5th posts in that thread.
 
The quote comes from here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK222286/

Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on Understanding the Biology of Sex and Gender Differences; Wizemann TM, Pardue ML, editors.
Washington (DC): National Academies Press (US); 2001.

The full abstract is as follows:
Sex differences of importance to health and human disease occur throughout the life span, although the specific expression of these differences varies at different stages of life. Some differences originate in events occurring in the intrauterine environment, where developmental processes differentially organize tissues for later activation in the male or female. In the prenatal period, sex determination and differentiation occur in a series of sequential processes governed by genetic and environmental factors. During the pubertal period, behavioral and hormonal changes manifest the secondary sexual characteristics that reinforce the sexual identity of the individual through adolescence and into adulthood. Hormonal events occurring in puberty lay a framework for biological differences that persist through life and that contribute to variable onset and progression of disease in males and females. It is important to study sex differences at all stages of the life cycle, relying on animal models of disease and including sex as a variable in basic and clinical research designs.

All human individuals—whether they have an XX, an XY, or an atypical sex chromosome combination—begin development from the same starting point. During early development the gonads of the fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female. After approximately 6 to 7 weeks of gestation, however, the expression of a gene on the Y chromosome induces changes that result in the development of the testes. Thus, this gene is singularly important in inducing testis development. The production of testosterone at about 9 weeks of gestation results in the development of the reproductive tract and the masculinization (the normal development of male sex characteristics) of the brain and genitalia. In contrast to the role of the fetal testis in differentiation of a male genital tract and external genitalia in utero, fetal ovarian secretions are not required for female sex differentiation. As these details point out, the basic differences between the sexes begin in the womb, and this chapter examines how sex differences develop and change across the lifetime. The committee examined both normal and abnormal routes of development that lead individuals to become males and females and the changes during childhood, reproductive adulthood, and the later stages of life.
Quoting only the first 2 sentences of the second paragraph misses some fairly critical information.

By the same token, it also makes your previous statement look like a complete load of bollocks.

Talk about dumb comments? Every country is responsible for THEIR citizens illegally entering another country. Doesn’t matter if they share a border or not.

Australia IS responsible for Australians over staying their visas in the us and should have to accept them being returned any how the other country sees fit.
Do you think if Australians who over stay their visa it is perfectly acceptable to shackle, degrade and harm them?

And meanwhile China is excelling in education compared to the US. Do the Right really think that dumbing down their country is working for them when they are in competition with countries like China?
 
Interesting insight into the First Lady Elonia Musk:

So you've moved on from T.D.S to M.D.S. now, interesting but not surprising.

"Take the positive" out of people dying because they probably voted for someone you don't like? Do you actually think of yourself as good and tolerant when you post shit like that?

There's little to nothing in that that supports the idea that we are female by default. You seem to be relying on the notion that because it's the SRY gene that drives male development, the absence of that gene is the "do nothing" option i.e. female until otherwise driven to male.

Emma Hilton addresses this in the X thread I linked to.

Regardless, sex is determined at conception, and it can be observed within a few weeks, before differentiation, and that's the key point.
