It' is for objects, not people.

Those who deny any group of people human rights are really denying the humanity of that group - and their own.

The idea that all people can and should live together in peace is not really a new one - but yet in practice it is very young indeed.

Some people think everyone should be the same as them:Look, dress, sound and act just like them.

Rejecting people for who and what they are will not make you a better, more 'righteous' or more 'moral' person - than the other person, or even in your own right - in fact, if that's why you're doing it, it is far more likely to do the opposite.

Any religion which demands death for other people is itself worthy of nothing less than it expects for others. In fact, it is probably long overdue.

Some people don't like 'different', it makes them scaredOf people who aren't like them, I think that's weird.

They set about making people so unhappy and isolated and when they crawl into a hole and pull it in after them, they have the nerve to call homosexuality a 'suicidal lifestyle'. And yet they do this - and deny that any gay or trans person could ever be a 'true' Christian. As if THEY are.

The only way a society of diverse people can survive without tearing itself apart over differences in nature is by accepting that ALL people are different, and that no single one of us is more or less deserving of decent treatment, compassion, legal and ethical equality, justice, life, or love, than any other.

isn't lying supposed to be a 'sin'? Or is it okay to lie when trying to make people you hate look bad?

The truth of the world is that in every group you will find some good and some bad people - which is why i am keenly aware that no group is ALL bad, just as no group is ALL good.

Some people do everything, some do something, many do nothing - which is bad enough - but the worst of the lot are those who break down what others have built.

People wonder who is who,Everyone is different - even you!

Advocacy groups in the USA, as in other countries, may not be able to silence this hateful, cowardly and deceitful attack upon people__ humanity _ but they can put out the correct, factual, scientifically and medically accurate information in an attempt to counter the ignorance and to restore the balance.

The only problem that ever really seems to bother empire builders is bureaucracy. Before a new colony on the frontier could be founded, the Senate and Triumvirate would have to pass the plan. Factors influencing the High Lords decision would include, among others, the number of people needed to found the colony and whether this would result in any significant population shift. Another, more critical factor would be whether Tactical Defense could spare the ships or the manpower to patrol the area.

Rise of Science DenialismThe problem is, in a world where some people (even in the USA, where someone like Donald Trump was allowed to rise to the level of a serious presidential candidate in 2016) have descended to such levels of ignorance that science itself is dismissed by leaders, political and religious as __n agenda_, and frightening numbers of people cling to ignorance and superstition because it suits their conservative anti-human rights views and objectives.

Imagine, if you will:Meradinis!The stuff myths are made of! The Turtle Island of the stars _ home planet to the fearsome and once legendary Corsairs. The very name of this world immediately grabbed the imaginations of young boys and girls, and universally mesmerize dreamers and romantics alike. The truth though was less romantic _ and as reality so often demonstrates in real life - instead rather ugly and brutal. The Corsairs were not corn-ball comics that went about with parrots on their shoulders, saying __rr!_ to everything they encountered. They were anything but. Behind the Corsairs and their culture lay a history fraught with a struggle to survive, a vengefulness and a cruelty _ and a drive to survive by preying upon others that struck fear into the hearts of neighboring fringe worlds.

People who have practiced occult religions for many years are being told that they don't know the first thing about their own religion and its beliefs and practices - and that a bunch of zealots from another religion posing as 'experts' (in a religion they despise/ fear/ oppose and who peddle slander and misinformation about occult religions), are more credible than they are.Non Seqitur. This does not follow.
