  1. Just got yourself crossed off the preferred neighbor list. To be fair, I baited the hooked. Got one on the first cast, though wasn't exactly sure who it would be. Whenever I state I am Catholic, someone feels compelled to want to debate/discuss Catholic teachings. 10 times out of 10, the discussion is meant to point out everything wrong about being Catholic. Seriously, do you guys all take the same classes? I could list your probable top 10 points of discussion and get at least 9 of them right. Typically, you guys will use the same maybe 8 to 12 biblical quotes, as if being able to drop a few religious quotes make you a better Christian. (Hey, at one time, I could draw the entire Periodic Table, recite The Jaberwocky, Kubla Khan, and recite 6 or 7 of Shakespeare's most famous soliloquies, but none of that made me an expert in poetry and literature nor a Nobel prize winner in chemistry. It did win a few bar bets and impress a lady or 2.) And most of you guys are hypocritical in telling me I need to open to Christ and welcome Him into my life. But, if I am not doing your way, I am doing it wrong. I am Catholic. I gets its teachings. If you thinks it is wrong, that is your problem, not mine. Go pound sand. You have demonstrated why I would prefer the gay couple with the trans kid. For all I care, they could worship the Great Pumpkin. I don't have to agree with their life to talk about the best fertilizer or whether or not Pickett is the future of the Steelers. I don't judge them, they don't judge me. Life is good. The overtly religious guy on the other side of the fence? Busy judging me for being Catholic. Just can't help himself. I can always build a higher fence. Maybe the next time I find a rattlesnake under the shed, I will toss it over the fence for you to use in your next religious meeting.
  2. Catholic..Confession...I am covered.
  3. Best bet is to contact an electrician. Portable generators can be wired back through your electrical panel, but it must be done correctly. They can also help correctly size the generator, based on your needs. I have a 9000w which can easily run all my essentials...well, septic pump, furnace and house lights. We can use the cooktop. We do shut down or avoid using things so as to not overload the generator. When the power goes out, I throw a special breaker, drag out and start the generator, and plug the generator into a special plug on the outside of the house. I also have a 'mini shed' I built specifically to cover the generator. The generater sits about 20 ft from the house...limits the noise and fumes. Takes 5 minutes to get up and running. Decent generator, with wheels and electric start wiil set you back around $750-$1000. Can spend way more. (I have one generator I use regularly...a 8000w Predator from Harbor Freight--a Honda knockoff I bought for about $850 about 5 yrs ago). Generators need to started at least evey few months. The electrical work might cost around a $1000? -- really no idea, just a guess. (An electrical contractor friend did mine for a pizza and 6- pack.)
  4. I would rather live beside a gay couple, quietly raising their trans daughter than some bible-thumper constantly telling me how I should lead my life according to his version of how to be a true christian. Werent the 10 commandments given to the Jews?
  5. If biology isnt too important, why do you have to have all these workarounds to overcome biology? I have decided to identify as a 6ft 9 in African-American who can perform windmill dunks. I want to try for a basketball scholarship and eventually the NBA. The fact I am a 5/8 white dude with no practical basketball skills shouldn't matter? Hey, my feelings will be hurt. Everybody and everything needs to adapt around me. Right? Well no, I accept my biological/genetic limitations while being able to celebrate their chromosomal advantages. Uterine transplants have occurred. Some woman have even grown babies in these transplants. Nothing about the process is even remotely natural. From implanting the embryo to extracting the uterus so the baby can be born. I suppose you could transplant a uterus into a man. Still not even remotely natural. Remember, men can't produce eggs. Probably a lots of risks to the baby..all the added sythetic hormones and anti- rejection drugs. But, hey, what's the big deal of sacrificing one human so another human can feel good about themselves. I get it. You want the world to conform to your view. Biology is not plug and play...no matter how you wish it to be. You want to create a synthetic world. So, you willing to pay for my hair transplants? My own damn biology is getting in the way of my happiness.
  6. I would have preferred something in your own words. Nothing here really defined. More like slogans. I can easily intepret any of those 7 slogans into a liberal concept. Even among conservatives, I you asked each to state what each of those tenets mean, you will get a vast array of answers. Back to your original question of the makeup of your ideal neighborhood, the more correct way of stating your question would be along the lines of 'would you really have neighbors that think like you do or neighbors that have different views'?
  7. Yiu really need to to further define what you mean by christian and conservative. Define entitled, hoodlums, and even woke. Interesting that you somehow put entitled and hoodlum together. I wkuld be willing to bet your definitions would differ from mine.
  8. Being called a man or woman already embraces a wide range of characteristics. There are very masculine women and very feminine men. Whether you like hunting and rebuilding transmission or prefer needlepoint and flower arrangements doesnt make you a man or a woman. Biology does. I get it where you would like to discount or ignore biology. It is something you cannot control or change. Sure, you can cut off parts a manufacture parts to create reasonable facsimilies, but it it will never be or function like original parts. You can also take drugs to suppress natural hormones or mimic hormones you cannot produce, but you are actively choosing to alter your biology. You will never be a biological father without testicles nor a mother without ovaries. Sure, you can change the words all you want, but it's not going to change reality. Painting it red and slapping on a Porsche insignia does not make an old Cavalier a sportscar. At any age? Really? You want a 6 yo to be able to alter their physical and chemical biology by their own choice, long before they are capable of creating a true understanding of, well, anything? A group that changes their favorite color from week to week, you think they should be able to make life altering decisions? If you are self-identifying, you should be self-paying. Self-identifying implies you are making a choice. No one should pay for someone else's choices. I would feel more manly and virile with a full head of hair. You willing to contribute to my hair transplants? How about paying for implants for women that would feel more feminine with bigger boobs? I really dont care how you desire to self-identify. I will even use your preferred pronouns. However, stop trying to pretend there is no difference between men and women. Stop pretending biology doesnt matter.
