Yeah, except what he’s talking about is NOT what the questioners are asking about. He’s talking about caring and being a human being. That a far cry from the crap being taught/required at the academies.

This seems reasonable…

"The installations and facilities that our Department operates are more than vital national security assets. They are also powerful public symbols of our military, and of course, they are the places where our Service members and their families work and live." Austin wrote in a memo to senior officials on Friday. "The names of these installations and facilities should inspire all those who call them home, fully reflect the history and the values of the United States, and commemorate the best of the republic that we are all sworn to protect."

I didn't realize that it was woke to remove the names of traitorous losers from military installations.

Comparing pediatric cancer to "gender affirming care" is ludicrous.

Where were Stewart's facts? He solely relied on "experts say". You want to line kids up that are too young to buy beer and give them hormones and surgery before that age?

And if you don't think that was selectively edited clip, you haven't been paying attention to his schtick. He's trying to get his lost relevancy back.

I’m quite positive John Stewart is worried about his relevancy.

Absolutely no issue with changing the names of bases to not honor anyone who fought for the Confederacy. Just a remnant of the Lost Cause movement that, while widely successful for a good century or so, is now widely discredited. Don't see why anyone would have an issue with this.

I agree. He lost his relevancy and now he's trying to get it back with this stupid stunt. One in which he employs the appeal to authority fallacy, while making sure to never back up any of his generic statements with facts such as, "giving a 12 year old girl testosterone improves their quality of life by X.". This in addition to his ludicrous comparison to pediatric cancer. :dunce:

I can think of millions of reasons why he voluntarily left the Daily Show the least of which is relevancy. Some people have made enough and are ok with semi-retirement and no longer being a slave to a nightly. It’s simply bizarre for you to choose that attack angle with Stewart.

Regarding the litigation you’d prefer government to decide medical/psychiatric care. In the case of 12 year olds (if that’s actually occurring in Arkansas) it’s admittedly strange. But it’s none of my business. How about 17 year olds? Does a magical power somehow appear at 18 years of age that makes gender affirming therapy ok? “Just avoid suicide another year kid and then you can get the help you need”.

Your solution: Let government decide the fate of other people’s kids instead of their parents, Dr’s, and social workers. Because…freedom.

You had no problem with government deciding for COVID, so don't trot that out here.

In regards to a magical age, for years the medical direction has always been to wait for children to mature before administering drugs, let alone surgeries that affect hormonal feedback. Kids are still growing. Adults are set.

How about some facts to back up your claims as well, or are you simply going off of feelz? The point was Stewart tried to make someone look bad by using a highly edited, logical fallacy argument with zero facts.

Can you quantify gender therapy improvements for me? How about telling me if testosterone were given to an 8 year old girl, it improved her life by how many percent? You know, facts.

You are trusting medical experts and organizations that cannot back up their claims with facts. It's all feelz. You're also backing money grubbers.

Little story. The company I used to work for developed a colorectal cancer test by analyzing stool samples. The test would detect abnormal DNA, possible cancer, and if you were positive, you were then told to get a colonoscopy.

The reason the test was developed was of course to make money, but also because 50% of Americans do not get Colonoscopies. This would have driven that number up.

The Gastroenterologists fought this tooth and nail because they were afraid it would take away their business. They got downright nasty. They didn't give two shits about actually screening more people and thus saving more lives. They only cared about the money.

The same is not only true here, but even more nefarious. Doctors and organizations are willing to mutilate and drug kids without facts, all for a dollar.

This is a strange line of thinking you're following. By the same measure, anything that places a restriction on children is government overreach. Age to drive, age to drink, age of consent (JSO's favorite), age to work 40 hours or more in a week, age to leave school, age to be conscripted, age to basically do anything. All government overreach that interferes with freedom. Is that what you're really preaching here?
