Natural Immunity Croc
In 2016, I used a public bathroom maybe twice (not counting when I was a bartender at the LOCKN' festival). I suppose that's one reason I think the whole thing is silly and not even close to extreme. I can't fathom why some people care so much. I might not agree with the other side about abortion and religion and population control and **** like that, but I can certainly understand why they care so much about those issues. The bathrooms? Not at all.

Where does it end? Seriously, man, it's a bathroom. Ideally, it ends with the ****ers washing their hands, though that rarely seems to happen. Now THAT would be extreme. And what same argument? I was actually weakening my argument by allowing for the fact that I don't care about public bathrooms, so maybe that's why I think the whole thing is ridiculous. I don't know. People care about the silliest ****, in my opinion.

You've got to admit, you put public bathrooms on a list that included education and what is probably the biggest threat to our immediate future (religion). You also had other issues on there that, while we probably disagree regarding them, are undeniably important. Bathrooms. That's why I thought you were joking.
Anyway...Trump. Speaking of thinking someone was joking. We've ALL made fun of this guy on here at one point or another. Now he's going to be president. What a strange world. This is like an episode of Black Mirror where, instead of the politician, all the viewers are required to **** a pig.

You might (or might not I guess) be surprised as how many of these I agree with.
#1: Totally agree, but I am not crazy about how W did it during his 8 years or how Obama has done it the past 8. I get the points of both, but I think we can do better. We HAVE to get more of the world to go along with us though. We can't do it all by ourselves and we need to put a LOT more emphasis on the intelligence side of things first, then move on to what we do to them after we find them and hopefully before they kill more innocent people. Definitely on board with the concept though.
#2: Totally agree again, though I think you may be being a little naive about the corporate tax thing. Since so few of the big boys actually pay it now is lowering it really going to get them to pay it now that they're figured out how to cheat? Still agree with the notion as outsourcing of American jobs is one of my 2 biggest pet peeves.
#3: Agree again, though to be honest, I'm not convinced a wall is really going to do the trick, regardless of who ends up paying for it. Still something we have to do in the age of terrorism, especially with nukes possibly floating around out there.
#4: I may agree more on this on than any of them. I thought this was Obama's first really big mistake as president, to use all that money for a "stimulus" and not put any to speak of into infrastructure. This is absolutely necessary and should create lots of jobs.
#5: This sounds like one of my rants except for one thing. I agree that the dept of education is pretty effed up a lot of the time, but local districts and parents having too much say is what has led to the kids running the schools and the administrators giving bj's to parents and kids alike. Rule #1 in education you must have discipline and right now there ain't much.
#6: Agree again, though I'm not sure about the specifics of this. The extreme stuff like bathrooms for everyone typically comes from when those in charge not taking care of business right to start with, then the pendulum swings too far the other direction. I think a lot more libs agree on this more than you might think.
I think we should all be worried about the Russia connection, not because Trump might give Putin the nuclear codes, even though anything is possible, but because Trump is so unpredictable and easily takes offense. I think it's just a matter of time before the honeymoon of this marriage turns ugly.
What do these two really want from each other? And what is the CIA and NSA thinking about all this? If we'll all still alive to read them there are gonna be some great books written about this history we are witnessing.
My girlfriend's sister is at Brown... and now when they introduce themselves to their classmates, they are instructed to also include the desire pronouns to be referred to.
So she introduced herself as "Sarah - she, her"
..........
I am fine with people doing this. Right away when they introduce themself to me I would know that they are not someone I want to socialize with and I can gtfo.
If I was hiring and someone said that **** I would release the hounds on them, the ones with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you.

I live in Providence right now, and all I can say is that I'm not surprised. No offense at all to your GF's sister, but a majority of Brown students would eat dog**** if their academic overlords told them it was what the cool kids over in Cambridge were doing. Silver-spooned automatons incapable of escaping traditional Northeastern academic groupthink.
Men obviously don't care who they use the bathroom with, but you don't understand why tween girls to young women might be a bit concerned if any man is suddenly legally allowed to use the same bathroom? It's pretty reasonable to have a law to only allow those who truly have gender dysphoria use whatever bathroom fits their disorder.
With that in mind, when it comes to the issue of social justice, the trans bathroom laws are way down the list of importance. Social justice is a major issue, but it mostly has to do with the general concept rather than trying to figure out how to work with those who have mental disabilities.
thank you weso1!
Is it me or is this poser wearing Tapate's sweater ?

Americans used to find the antics of these regimes, with their tinpot dictators, funny. But who’s laughing now?
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
Today Trump threatens blogger that called him a liar.
Pelosi called him a coward
This will get interesting.

Maybe he should just place the blogger on "investigative hold" until he confesses to a crime. All the **** your worried Trump will do is already happening.
