3 sets of public restrooms ? one designated as " other "

Damn RED EYE. You just solved the entire Bathroom Crisis. With about 5 words

Thats the obvious solution. Normal Bathrooms and a "Hades" Bathroom where just anything goes. Freakshow bathroom thats like a never ending Rocky Horror Picture Show wherein John Waters is the Towel Attendant.

This, to me anyways, is a very valid and good solution. I expect all to agree and none to be in disagreement with this.

Troll On Troll. Anyone up in here with an IQ higher than that which God gave to a Grape knows you got pwned yet again up in here, as you do in every discussion within this forum. Trolls declare Victory none the less, its what you do.

Victory or Defeat in some drop of water in the ocean online discussion has zero importance in my Life. That aside, the only ones declaring you won this (or any other debate) are your Ghost IDs.

Your VPN Game Strong. That I will give you.

And your Trolling is not -EV altogether bcuz you do make for some lively & entertaining discussion/back & forths on occasion.

Intelligent posters such as enfuego, Acebb and others up in here will never "negotiate" where the safety of Women & Children are concerned though. This is as it should be and always will be. This won't change. Other things.....maybe people relax their positions on so debate could be worthwhile but fulfilling our obligation as Males to provide the safest environment for the Women & Children is not a thing some guys will back down from.

Have a Nice Day and I hope that you have a wonderful, productive and positive +EV weekend. :toast:

Intelligent posters such as Acebb? Bwaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. It's a good thing you have zero credibility because you would have lost it all with that comment

Protect those kids from feet under a stall door......it's scary stuff!!

all in good fun.....make some money this weekend and good luck in all wagers.

Same to you man. Its unfortunate that typed words don't come with the inflection, tone etc. of face to face conversation bcuz if they did, like, if you or anyone who reads my seemingly crazed rants would know.....they are not meant to come across as Brutal & Personal Ad Hominien type Crap that they look like.

Baseball got kinda weird Yesterday and has been alot less predictable than I expected it would be, thus far.

I will get On Track with Baseball though.

GL to you and to all with their wagers this weekend. :toast: Blues at Chicago NHL Saturday 8PM EST Must watch TV.


Ya'll can have the damn NBA.

do you think the day is coming where we have 3 sets of public restrooms ?

Perhaps. But more likely is a sensible reduction in segregating restroom use by gender.

The worries of engaging in the most common of human bodily functions - elimination - while those of a different gender are near are based in primitive and irrational fears. Given that humans continue to evolve for the better, such fears will gradually be laid to the wayside and we can safely presume that restrooms will be gender neutral far more often than not in the coming century

Anyway, isn't it past time for you to login under your other user name and compliment one of your own posts?

He makes a Great Point, Bar. You have been hogging the laptop past few days.

He makes a Great Point, Bar.

Well of course he does. He is Acebb.....graduated from a Top 20 law school. There is no way either of us could ever compete with him on a mental level...so just give it up.

Thats all Well & Good, the fact that indeed "over time such fears will gradually be laid to the wayside and we can safely presume that restrooms will be gender neutral far more often than not in the coming century"

But we take a while to Evolve.

You say the equivalent of; "Well yeah damn SNOW is piled up all around the house we can't get out not even out a window and we really need food but its all good cuz eventually it will melt."

The Issue that no one wants to address is the very REAL eventuality, under this New Deal, there WILL BE some child molestors that take advantage of a situation wherein Bathroom Access is much more Liberal.

I anticipate that your response will be that, "yes OK so it will cause a few kids to get brutalized but....."

And then go all Deep Eastern Philosophy on me and say that was "their course", thats the universe unfolding as it is supposed to be, tragedies occur and "they" (meaning the souls of the kids lost) are just going to come back here anyways because Life Is Eternal so investing concern for those kids that got hurt because of this Bathroom Deal is a waste of One's Energy."

Point Being: We, as a species here and as a "nation" more particularly, are a long long way from the Peace filled Tranquil BlissOut that you have managed to find and a whole lot of people here are going to feel like the pricetag of even ONE Child getting hurt as result of ya'll's "Anything Goes, Let people do whatever they want, I so totally don't care about anything" path to GETTING to the place of BlissOut you bask in is gonna be to high a price to pay to get there.

Just My Opinion.

I just personally do not feel that my own path to True Enlightenment has to be paved in part by placing young people at un-necessary risk.

And I sense that I do actually need to care about SOMEthing. Rather than just saying "OK Whatever" to all.

The concern to you is phony is what you mean. The concern is not phony to me.

If I had a daughter, I'd punch a person with a penis in the face if they went into the bathroom she was in. That's just the bottom line.

But my point still stands, why the protests and all the hoopla just because a conservative state has a different opinion? Libs are just trying to strong arm NC and it isn't working.

false narrative...

 

[919]

True on Curt being lacking of a good Meme Filter.

In his Brain.


There is a place for Curt though....I expect that he will land on his feet.


There is not a place at this moment for him but we do need a space wherein Sports can be reported without Politically Correct Barbed Wire surrounding the Broadcast Studio and a RoboCop poised to terminate them for expressing their opinion.

Right or Wrong.


Festering Zit won this debate when he posted that Curt should be able to express himself.


That is the most important point here.

Other than not letting potential threats with cocks and no self restraint into the bathroom with little girls.

Curt is able to express himself...but he should expect reprocussions for his actions when engaging in this type of rhetoric. if you go around social media expressing that all n****** should die and tattoo a swastika on your forehead, I'm guessing you would be fired. But why, shouldn't you be able to express your opinion?

 

[919]

A large percentage of the trans population in parts of Asia do it solely because they can make money doing it:

"That said, I've spoken with many lady boys (often with a friend translating) and many of them have told me that they are neither gay, nor transgender, do it because it pays much better than the sort of manual labor they would otherwise be performing. Some of these performers have gone so far as to have breast implants, others not. And at the end of the day, some just want to be entertainers, and it's not a bad gig to have."

Exaggerate much?

 

[919]

Why in the world would you explain to a young child that a woman has a penis? It's not a conversation for a child dude.

And don't make this about me. It's not an acceptance issue so don't go down that path with me. It's a safety issue of a man in a women's bathroom. That's the issue and nothing else.

Is it a safety issue with a man in a bathroom with a boy?

 

[ML Dog]

Is it a safety issue with a man in a bathroom with a boy?

The potential Safety Issue exists in expanding the definition of "who" is allowed entry into Female Bathrooms.

As I said in my post above, to so so WOULD be to present new "avenues" via which predators would have access to their prey.

Simple as that.

No. This was Drumpf's point and it was a good one. Forcing Businesses to build a 3rd bathroom to fix a problem that doesn't exist would be cost prohibitive. Just keep doing what we've been doing, men's and women's restrooms, period. It's worked fine for forever, it'll keep working fine.

[Enfuego]

Is it a safety issue with a man in a bathroom with a boy?

Well, since most men in America are heterosexual, it's a smaller concern.

 

[Acebb]

I thought this was a good column on the topic and saying you represent their brand really adds nothing to the discussion.


Essentially what ESPN is saying is that it's fine if you have a political opinion, but it better be the same as ours.

That's what totalitarian governments do.

Read as such, how scary is this statement? "ESPN is an inclusive company. Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated."


What ESPN is really saying is: "We're an inclusive company. Unless you disagree with us, in which case we're exclusive. And you're fired."
How amazing is it that in this age of diversity, that companies only want diversity of color, not diversity of opinion? Wouldn't it arguably strengthen Disney to have people working for it that advance every opinion under the sun, liberal and conservative, so that they can better reflect the country as a whole? There have be thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, of Disney employees who agree with Schilling's opinion. Some of them may have even shared the same meme. How nervous are they? What they've been told is pretty clear, you're welcome to have opinions, but they better be the same as ours.

</header>[h=2]Curt Schilling, the ex-Boston Red Sox ace pitcher, appeared on Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM 125 The Patriot Channel with host and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon on Friday morning to make absolutely clear he is not backing down to the left over his transgender bathroom comments.[/h]Schilling, who led the Red Sox to their first World Series victory in 86 years in 2004 by carrying the team through the American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees by literally pitching on an ankle so busted his sock was bleeding, was fired from ESPN this week for siding with the majority of America on the transgender public restrooms issue.
Schilling, a conservative, this week posted on his blog a photograph of a heavyset overweight man wearing women’s clothing and a wig with the caption: “Let him in! To the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow minded, judgmental, unloving, racist bigot who needs to die!!!”
It came amid the controversy surrounding the North Carolina bathroom law regarding transgender people, and as such ESPN used Schilling’s common-sense comments to fire him. “Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated,” the network said in a statement.
When Bannon asked Schilling if he’s a “hater,” Schilling replied that he’s not.
“Hand to God, I’m going to tell you a quick story: in my family, my kids, the minute the word hate comes out of [somebody’s] mouth [when talking about me], they now kind of chuckle about it because I’ve always said, ‘Listen, there’s very little of anything in the world that I hate,’” Schilling said. “Hate takes effort. Hate takes energy. There’s far too much in this world that requires effort and energy otherwise that I don’t have the energy to hate. I don’t hate anything.”
Schilling compared the accusations against him to someone who hasn’t molested children being accused of being a child molester.
“That’s how I feel,” Schilling told Bannon. “I don’t have a racist bone in my body. I’m not transphobic. I’m not homophobic. My 16-year-old son is one of the founding members of the LBGT club in high school. That’s his group. That’s the people he loves and hangs out with. He has no blinders on. His whole world is about ‘I don’t care who you are and what you are—you’re good people.’ Those kids are in and out of this house all the time. I’ve never in my life treated somebody based on a racial denomination or religion or sexual preference. I don’t care. I’ve never cared. As long as you’re not sleeping with my wife, I don’t care who you sleep with. So that, to me, to be where we’re at—something had to go wildly askew. I hate to use that defense when people talk about ‘oh, you’re a racist,’ that ‘no, I have black friends.’ But listen, I’m 49 years old. I had a company with almost 400 employees. I had many people that were transgender. There were people that were gay and all the things that were like that. They were some of the greatest people in the world; they’re still friends and some of the people I talk with. If in my past, I’d ever been a racist or I’d ever said something racist or if I had ever been transphobic or homophobic, somebody somewhere would have said something I’m sure given my status.”
Schilling added that the motivation of people who have been criticizing him over this seems to be that they have an agenda.
“That’s why I sleep well at night—I’m okay with people I don’t know saying things that aren’t true because life is hard enough. I can’t live my life to make people that don’t know me like me,” Schilling said. “ And I won’t. And people don’t like that, for whatever reason they don’t like that. And one more thing I would tell you this: I am firmly a believer now in that this isn’t about me being transphobic or me trying to promote transphobic things. It feels to me like this is about people whose agenda is way more important to them than it is to me, and I’m not making a big enough deal about it.”
Alex Marlow, the Editor of Chief of Breitbart News, asked Schilling about a headline—“Contrition Continues To Elude Curt Schilling”—linking to a New York Times article that calls for him to apologize for what he said. Marlow noted that the “Social Justice crowd” is “trying to shame” Schilling into “one of those ritual public apologies.”
“Listen, people that know me know I talk a lot—I have opinions on a lot of things—I never have a problem admitting when I’m wrong or make a mistake,” Schilling said. “And I do it a lot–number one because I’m human and the only perfect human who ever walked the earth died a couple thousand years ago. I don’t try to be wrong. I love debate. I love to talk about things. I love to debate people who have a completely opposing opinion of mine because I think it helps me get educated about things I don’t know about, number one. But number two, I think vice versa is true as well. But here’s the problem: People have a very, very distorted view of opinions and beliefs. Beliefs, to me, are things that are foundational to what makes you. Jesus was the living Son of God, that’s a belief. I know that. An opinion is that I don’t think men should pee in women’s bathrooms, and vice versa. That’s an opinion. I don’t think anything differently about people because of that opinion. If you disagree with me, that’s fine. There’s a discussion to be had.”
Bannon noted to Schilling that “they’re trying to break you,” but Schilling said he won’t back down.
“Oh yeah, this is not the first time [they’ve tried to break me],” Schilling said. “For 20 years as a baseball player, I drove GMs [general managers] kind of batshit crazy because I wasn’t afraid to say what I thought and felt. Now, listen, that doesn’t make me right. That makes me me. I was in a position to question ownership and general managers because I knew I wasn’t going to get fired—and younger players wouldn’t say the things I said. So, if you’re expected me to give you everything I possibly have to win every night, I expect the same from you—and if you’re not going to give it to us, then I have a problem. That rubbed people the wrong way. That made GMs [upset]. But no one ever questioned—my job was to pitch every fifth day and win. No one I ever played with before would ever tell you, or question the amount of effort I put in on those days. So, that was my job. My job was to win. It wasn’t to play baseball—it was to win. And I took that very seriously, and I do that with everything—and much to my wife’s chagrin, 9 times out of 10, I don’t have the ability to just answer a question I’m passionate about ‘yes’ or ‘no’ because I think that that’s a shallow thing to do a lot of times.”
