I’m all for getting rid of golf. Horrendous for the environment and piss poor land use. Plus I’m shite at it.
We should throw Rugby Union in the bin as well while we’re at it. That’s where the golfers will gravitate towards after that’s gone. 

I had Rugby in my  post above, but I didn't want to go full Bertie and alienate myself from everyone on the forum, so I deleted it.

When I go into work on Monday, the first thing I will be asked is did I watch the rugby.

My response will be, did I fuck.

 

Bit Scotland were playing.

and?

You may think that is bad, but I have worked at the company 10 years and they know I don't do rugby, even if Scotland are playing.

I never get emotional or sentimental about Scotland. I wish I could say the same about AFC though.

Two season ticket holders, that I work with, are missing the game today to go out and watch the rugby.

Each to their own and all that though.

I don't think that's fair, or an accurate reading of what was written. Just rudeness, and lacking in empathy. And arrogant as fuck, of course, assuming that you know more about a person's own experience than they do. Even if you assume that a small part of the post was embellished, it would be weird to assume it wasn't in some way informed by the rest of the it. 

In my opinion, Trump is a vulgar child who has the cognitive abilities of his predecessor, and should be stood down because of that. Voting for Gavin Newsom (or Vance, or whoever) as your answer? Isn't that equally as deluded? 

I’d agree with that, but I want to stress that I’m not looking for anything. If people ask me a direct question I usually answer. There’s nothing here that I haven’t heard before. It’s just sad that people are narrow minded and cannot accept difference. It gets personal when people don’t have the capacity to think deeper so just spout the same generic shit Ive heard a million times then get personal. And ironically these are the people who scream diversity.
It’s very similar to the way California went, where the majority are incredibly intolerant, you lost friendships, fights, cancel culture, all from a side who rams difference down your throat. It’s also interesting the blatant lies stated ( in my opinion of course) like vaccines not having a downside. Every single one does, every one has a side effect, you just chose to either ignore those or weigh up the pros and cons. 
 
what some people here don’t seem to realize is that of the 70 plus million that voted trump, many are not trump supporters or even republicans, I’d say that’s me. We just fear the dem party more than this one, and we’ve had Obama and Biden show what that’s about. And lived in Cali to see how that goes. I’d challenge those who can’t let trump go to look into why people cannot accept the alternative. Cue the racism and abuse, the generic response, but it’s deeper than that.

But aren’t the anthems just marvellous? That Haka as well, so intimidating!!!

All of that was just generic nonsense and false equivalence that you’ve been spoon fed, which I’ve heard a million times due to people like yourself being incapable of independent thought 

On the quote though, how many genders would you say there are? If you had to put a number on it

Is it two? Is it a trick question? I genuinely don't know or care, which I expect is the position of most.

That’s the thing though, nobody knew or cared. It’s an issue created out of nothing & transgender people were collateral. Their lives weren't hard enough apparently

Now we have the ridiculous position where grown men are pretending they care about women’s weightlifting events

Agreed. Very much so.
