Huge cuts coming to science budgets across the country. What this country needs now is not more science. We clearly just need to put religion back on a pedestal and get more promoters, carny barkers, wall builders, and warriors.

delusional WaPo stories again

People are delusional. Articles are not. Trump either wants to cut these budgets or he doesn't. You would refute the facts if you could. But you'd rather fling insults at people (WaPo) without backing it up.

What's the evidence that humans have 30+ Genders, but the rest of the Primate Family just two for each species?

There are no facts, Congress controls the purse strings, Trump doesn't... This article is just more hyperbole by WaPo.

The fact is that the whitehouse has released a budget blueprint and published it on their web site. The press is reporting the facts about what is in this budget blueprint.

What does this have to do with science in general? You found some tiny scrap of research at Universities that doesn't make much sense, and use that to justify cutting major science budgets? That's like murdering 1/3 of the babies in the world, because five of them got malaria.

That's what retards do. DOH!

So what, it's a request... does that mean it will become law?

Trump requests huge cuts. I stated that huge cuts were coming. You are implying that we will not get huge cuts. Are you arguing that Trump is a liar or that he is ineffectual?

And then the complain is that we are not producing enough STEM students. Well if the governmnt thinks Science is secondry, why should students stress on it.

(That's YesYNot statement, not mine. We need Science up the ass.)

Some things pushed as "Science" aren't science at all, but evidence free philosophical worldviews.

Where are the demands that 30+ Gender Advocates prove their claims scientifically? It's 100% anecdotal assertion.

Funding scientific hysteria for political purposes needs MORE support, not less!

Trump will ALWAYS ask for MORE than he'll accept.

He might not get cuts as large as he wants, but he might get more cuts than he wants. If I were writing a hyperbolic post title, I might have said that:

Trumps budget signals the end of the enlightenment period. Trump will kill real Universities in retaliation for treatment of Trump 'U' by taking a machete to science funding. Trump tries to destroy what really makes America great!

What percentage of NIH's budget is devoted to studies involving 30+ Genders?

What percentage of the population is gay/trans/bi..... requiring all of the legislation and court battles that tied up much of the last 8 years of Obama's "progress on Social Issues"?

Who knows? Not the point I am making. The point I am making is that 30+ Genders is taken as some kind of scientific fact, when it comes out of the self-masturbatory navel gazing of Blank Studies Departments and has no science behind it.

PS Let's defund the NEA, too. Well-off NPR donors can did into their own pockets for that, too. Hand out for the wealthy who ought to actually pay for things they like instead of getting a government subsidy.

Ask the NC republicans who are trying to legislate who can use what bathroom.

Wasn't that legislation a defensive measure against the policies of certain cities in NC? Just like the other legislation passed by Republicans trying to protect nuns being sued by Obama's DOJ for not providing abortion services in their healthcare plans.

In most cases, it is the Liberals who are on the offense in the culture wars forcing their new found views on the majority. Republicans are usually just playing defense.

IRT North Carolina - I figure that the tiny percentage of children who are mentally conflicted about their gender can use the faculty bathrooms.

I said Trump is defunding NIH massively, and your response is to talk about something else. OK, fine. Talk about fringe gender classifications if that's your thing. Maybe you should start your own thread, though.

IDK, but if so, why does the state legislature want to micromanage what localities decide to do? The republicans are using the culture wars to score political points, and any excessive focus on these issues is the result of both sides, here. If the Republicans really thought it was not important enough to spend time on, they wouldn't spend the time.

Seriously??? Did you run out of your medication again??

What's the matter now? Is my example of hyperbole not hyperbolic enough for you?
