If "the media" is to blame, they did a horrible job if they wanted to exert influence in modern times.

Look at today, most people (especially the "young" under 30 crowd) don't get their news from the same, monolithic sources as older generations did. With the internet, a person has a limitless supply of news sources. Of course, that is also a HUGE negative on its own, but it is proof that "the media" isn't controlling much, if anything, in 2017.

I have 2 legs, if I decide to identify as a 1 legged person would society encourage me to have a perfectly healthy leg surgically removed?

No.  Same applies to my dick.

Your gender refers to how you identify your own body/mind in terms of being male, female, a gender (neither), or fluid (not adhering solely to one end of the spectrum or the other). This is not to be confused with your sexual preference, which may have nothing to do with gender at all, and refers to what you find attractive in a potential romantic partner. I know you asked about gender, but I’m mentioning sexual preference as well for two reasons: First, so that we can be absolutely clear that gender identification doesn’t necessarily relate to sexual preference (some people do find that confusing), and second, because—just as we’re seeing an increase in the number of teens claiming gender fluidity—we’re also seeing a lot more teens identifying themselves in broader terms than simply “heterosexual” or “homosexual.”

There is no LGBT lobbying in countries such as Taiwan, Japan, China, South Korea.etc. That is the reason why the economies of these nations are growing, and at the same time that of the western nations are declining.

Authorities say an Arkansas man has been arrested after being accused of sneaking into a yard and having sex with one of the homeowner's donkeys.



The Siloam Springs Police Department said the residence in the 1800 block of Cheri Whitlock Street had been under extra patrols for the past month because a man was coming into the yard, feeding and engaging in sexual acts with a pet donkey.

The homeowner called police around 1:30 a.m. July 16 to report the man was in the field again.

When an officer arrived, he found Everett Lee Compton, 49, hiding behind some bushes. Compton reportedly said he was taking a walk.

The police report states that the officer asked him about the donkeys, and Compton replied that he gave them carrots but did not have sex with them.

After the officer informed Compton there was footage, the 49-year-old reportedly said that marijuana “makes him do sick things.”

Video footage showed Compton feeding a donkey carrots, then covering its eyes, police said. The footage also shows him standing behind the animal and appearing "to have some type of sexual interaction” with the donkey, according to the report.

Compton was booked into the Benton County jail Monday, where he was being held in lieu of $5,000 bond as of Tuesday afternoon.

He is charged with four counts of criminal trespassing, bestiality and cruelty to animals. His next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 11.

An American pedophile has been convicted to 40 years in prison for years of sexual abuse of adopted Russian boy. His boyfriend from New Zealand who allegedly assisted in meticulously recording acts of sexual offence is going on trial at home.
Two members of the pedophile porn exchange ring Boy Lovers network, Mark J. Newton, 42 and his long-term partner Peter Truong, 36, were busted in 2011 on suspicion that they were sexually molesting their son, born to Russian mother in 2005.

A US judge in Indianapolis has imposed maximum sentence on American-born Mark J. Newton, 42, for sexual exploit of a minor and conspiracy to possess child pornography. Newton is also obliged to pay $400,000 in compensation to the boy’s account.

Newton’s boyfriend Peter Truong, 36, awaits court in New Zealand.

US District Judge Sarah Evans Barker explained that Mark Newton was tried at district court level to save a jury from seeing the images produced by the defendants.

“‘What can be said? What can be done to erase some of the horror of this?’’ Judge Barker said while handing down her sentence, sharing a belief that the pair deserved a stricter punishment.

‘‘Personally ... I think this is probably one of the worst [pedophile] rings ... if not the worst ring I’ve ever heard of,’’ investigator Brian Bone of the US Postal Inspection Service told reporters outside the US Federal Courtroom.

“Russian orphans always attracted foreign perverts because of accessibility. The foreigners were simply coming and taking children for money,” Russian Ombudsman for Children’s Rights Pavel Astakhov told RT.

Russia has recently adopted two laws on adoption of Russian children by foreign families. In December 2012, Russia adopted the ‘Dima Yakovlev Law’ banning American citizens from adopting Russian children. In June 2013, The State Duma passed an amendment that bans the adoption of Russian children by same-sex couples from abroad.

“In forbidding foreign adoptions we put a barrier against scoundrels,” Astakhov said, pointing out that he knows a number of similar cases when foreigners adopted children with solely sexual intent.

Astakhov told RT that the rehabilitation process for the boy, currently adopted by another American family, will take a long time. He noted that according to Russian law an adopted child remains a Russian citizen until lawful age and promised to closely follow boy’s life in the new family.

To avoid future harm to the child, the investigators named the boy ‘Adam’ in all official documents.

Astakhov stressed that he fully trusts the American specialists responsible for Adam’s rehabilitation.

“International cooperation in the sphere of struggle against pedophiles gives Russia an opportunity to identify, expose and punish the criminals, protect children,” he said.

The story of ‘Adam’
Reportedly, starting from 2002, the gay couple of Newton and Truong attempted to find a surrogate mother to give birth to their child. Having failed to find a surrogate mother in the US, where both were working at the time as computer experts, the pair finally found a woman in Russia who gave birth to their child for a fee of $8,000. Mark Newton is believed to be the biological father of the boy dubbed ‘Adam’.

Adam was handed over to Newton and Truong a mere five days after his birth in 2005.

Newton and Truong gave media interviews as a gay couple with an adopted child, stating that their son was born to a Russian surrogate mother they found on the internet.

“Being a father was an honor and a privilege that amounted to the best six years of my life,” Newton told the court minutes before his sentence was announced.

At the age of 22 months, Adam was sexually abused by his ‘adoptive parents’ for the first time. After that he was abused on a daily basis. The ‘parents’ took photos and video recorded practically everything they did to him.

Later on they made Adam available for sex with other members of the pedophile ring in Australia, France, Germany and the US, for which Newton and Truong had to travel extensively. The investigators have found proof of at least eight men in these countries having contact with Adam when he was between the ages of two and six.

Two of these pedophiles have been charged already: they are American residents John R. Powell, 41, a Florida-based lawyer, and Jason Bettuo, a 36-year-old Michigan tennis coach.

Adam was made to believe that the life he lived was normal. He was also trained to give ‘correct’ answers if questioned about his life by an outsider, so when investigators first talked to him they got no information about his parents’ double life.

As the investigation continued, it emerged that Newton and Truong had contacts with some children in Australia who had been questioned. But so far the investigators got no additional information from them.

For me IOTA is just under a big hype plan. In general when supporters are praising it like the new Bitcoin, it is very fishy. I saw this on several altcoins : Bitcoin Cash, Footy Cash, Monero, IOTA...
