• Portland city govt tells staff to avoid mentioning 'pregnant women' and

    As Portland struggles to manage crime and an increase in homelessness,
    city staff members are being told to adopt a more "culturally conscious" vocabulary that includes not using words such as "women," "Caucasian" or "citizen."

    The Office of Equity and Human Rights pushed an Inclusive Writing Guide in
    June as part of a "city-wide collaboration" to alter commonly used terms
    that they feel have evolved.

    The guide suggested removing femininity from terms commonly used for
    women, including replacing "pregnant women" with "pregnant people" to be inclusive of those "who have this experience [pregnancy] but do not
    identify as women."

    Portland officials also advised staffers to "instead of women’s health
    rights, say reproductive rights, instead of feminine hygiene products, say menstrual products or period products, and instead of breastfeeding, say
    chest feeding."

    PORTLAND RESIDENT SOUNDS ALARM OVER CITY'S ‘SAFE REST VILLAGE’ PROGRAM:
    AREA OF ‘ORGANIZED CRIME AND DRUGS’

    Rather than use "he" or "she" pronouns to describe people, staffers are encouraged to use "they/them."

    The staffers are also told to capitalize the word "Black as an adjective
    in a racial, ethnic, or cultural sense," while under the definition of
    "white," they are told to "not capitalize when referring to one’s race."

    PORTLAND RESIDENTS OUTRAED AFER BAGS OF FENANYL IN POPULAR CITY PARK: ‘NO PLAYGROUND IS SAFE’

    The guide defined "white and whiteness" as "a social construct that serves
    to reinforce power structures" and suggested avoiding use of the synonym "Caucasian" entirely.

    The guide suggested that the word "manhole" is not gender-neutral, and therefore "maintenance hole" should be used in its place.

    According to the guide, the term "citizen" is also "not inclusive" and
    should not be used by staffers.

    "Language is fluid," the guide read. "As our understanding of race,
    gender, socioeconomic status, and disability evolves, we must make
    informed choices about language and adopt a continuous improvement
    approach."

    As the city seeks to adopt "inclusive and equitable language," Portland residents are concerned about "organized crime and drugs" in the area.

    A recent Portland census data showed the city has lost 4% of its
    population, with Mayor Ted Wheeler’s office reporting a 50% increase in homelessness from 2019 to 2022.

    "Walking around, it’s hard to not notice used needles, nudity, human feces
    and the stench of urine coming from our large homeless population," said
    Cobalt Kaiser, a second-year Portland resident said of the ongoing
    homelessness crisis.

    All officials who had any part in producing this absurdity need to be
    removed from office as soon as possible.

    Yet Portlanders still don't understand the difference between male and
    female.

    “She was made in the image of God.” That is, she has all the same characteristics of self-consciousness, cognition, spirituality,
    personality, relationship, emotion, all those things, creativity. All that
    the image of God gives to a man also He gives to a woman; the only
    difference is that God made Adam out of dirt and God made Eve out of Adam.

    There’s only one kind of sexual behavior that God recognizes in the human realm, and that is the sexual behavior between a man and a woman who have
    left father and mother, and cleaving to each other have become one flesh.
    That is the only context in which God has ordained and recognized sexual conduct.

    Woke means being aware if you are white of the onerous conditions imposed on black people, women, LBGTQ+ and any other
    discernible minority such as Irish in their time, Italians in their
    time, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, Unitarians, Mormons, Hindus and
    atheists. If you are black it means being very aware of the need
    to avoid upsetting the police and other LEOs.

    By the way with the multiple addressed groups this looks
    just like a Troll busy trolling.

    Is the birth rate going down?

    Why the concern with Portland?

    Do you live there?

    personality, relationship, emotion, all those things, creativity. All that the image of God gives to a man also He gives to a woman; the only
    difference is that God made Adam out of dirt and God made Eve out of Adam.


    More likely that ur-Eve made Adam out of her own flesh in order to have
    someone more like her to carry the heavy stuff. Women invented
    language in order to tell children not to put their hands in the fire.

    Men found it helped when out hunting then turned it into oppressive
    rules and stories to lie about their beginnings as infants and idiots.

    Well that was a good idea if you were tribal and wanted to increase your tribe. One of the problems of the present day is that reproduction
    has been overdone. This will be a big problem as
    the water rises. No imaginary G*d has sent destruction upon us but
    our fruitless and deadly drive for convenience.

    And if you do not believe in God then that is an idea based on the
    tyranny of the strong man. Lots of flaws in the account and lots of
    ignorance of the true nature and extent of the Universe. Bibles of
    anysort, are generally unreliable. Lots of blame cast on women who
    are the only source of more human life.
    And lots of things in the Christian Bible point in the casual
    mis-statements which ruled the early church.

    If G*d exists then That made the vast Universe of which the tiny
    Earth, which is immense to humans, and built into that Universe, the
    parameters which permit life and intelligence to evolve, including the
    time for all this to come to pass.

    The Big Bang happened when all the anti-matter and matter collided when the conditions cooled enough to differentiate between
    the two. Luckily for us there was a bit more Matter than Anti-matter
    and that gives us a place to live now. There will never be a greater
    explosion in this iteration of the Universe. Its energy lingers and
    its light was smothered by the lack of SpaceTime to illuminate. But
    there was Time eventually and things changed. In case you had noticed
    there is still Time and things have changed. Of course if you
    don't believe in G*d you can believe in Quantum and how events at
    quantum levels in the original chaos sorted out the rules for
    survival and complication.

    I don't know if Deity exists but It might. But it ain't the one
    worshiped in most religions nor is It clearly set out in any
    holy writ.

    If by mind control you mean education, then yes I try to

    You eat QAnon and Evangelical propaganda daily but somehow you

    No such place exists. If you mean San Francisco in the State of California then say so. It won't make your statement more true but more factually accurate. The Pacific Northwest has it own share of Wobblies
    and other nativist Left organizations. Left is for Labor as Lincoln
    said "Labor is antecedent to Capital and hence more valuable". Without
    Labor i.e. Workers, Capital cannot be developed. Capital can be
    Symbiotic with Labor or Parasitical upon Labor. In the USA the
    relationship was broken by off-shoring the Labor to get lower prices
    for the Labor. Now Capital is parasitical on foreign workers and upon
    the USA. Not all of Capital of course but aided by private laws to
    benefit Capital much of Capital is just a parasite upon our Economy.

    In California we are tending toward a socialized state but in
    San Francisco we have acceptance of the need for public intervention
    in private and public ill.
