...the idea that a person can make a claim to gain access to the restroom of his choosing.

I think that if someone who presents as male (or female) shows up and attempts to use the men's (or women's) restroom, then that person shouldn't have to go through a gender inspection in order to do so.

A man should be able to choose to follow a young girl into a restroom if he thinks it's good timing, for instance.

I don't know what you mean by "beer," but given your inability to disagree without acting like a scolded little kid, I assume it's some kind of insult?

Dos Equis is a brand of beer. Your name is Dos Equis. Since you equate calling yourself something with being something, I assume you self-identify as beer, and I am addressing you appropriately. Would you prefer me to treat you as bourbon instead?


Yes, shame on Huckabee for telling a joke.  He should know you thin skinned people will be offended.

Except I'm not offended. His "joke" doesn't affect me in any way. I simply don't think it's funny and it's based on faulty premises. That isn't taking offense. Besides, even if I were offended, why is it OK for Huckabee to be offended and talk about some things but not for me?


The salient point is that gender is not cut and dried for some segments of society and those segments want to force their views on others, and silence anyone who disagrees.  But if you live a fishbowl you might not see it.

I don't see anyone trying to force their views on me. Are you sure you aren't exaggerating?


Yes I have a problem with teaching kids that gender differences do not exist.

Why do you have a problem what kids are taught - unless they're your kids? And more importantly, why should we give a shit about what think about what kids are taught? It's really quite simple: if someone tries to teach your kid things you disagree with, then remove your kid from that school; if someone hands your kid a pamphlet like the one in your other post, then simply take the opportunity to explain your views to your kid and highlight how the views expressed in the pamphlet are wrong and chuck it in the trash. Problem solved.



You are one angry buggah.  Go smoke a joint or something.  Might make you feel better.

OK, so now that you've made this statement, what exactly would you like? For me to vigorously argue against that? Why would I. It's not my position. You're the one who said it, after all.

What is your position?

My position on what issue?

The issue of people choosing restrooms.

My position hasn't changed since the last time I posted it. Here, I'll quote it for you:

I think that if someone who presents as male (or female) shows up and attempts to use the men's (or women's) restroom, then that person shouldn't have to go through a gender inspection in order to do so.


...and locker rooms.

I have no opinion, one way or the other.

Yeah, I saw it. Looks rather vague, but no problem and can't say I disagree.

So judging by that, it seems we don't need to make changes or call attention to it in any way. Or am I missing something?

Wait.  You were trying to be funny??  So you actually do have a sense of humor?   :o  Good to know.   :)  I picked Dos Equis for the byline "most interesting man in the world," not because of the beer.  I have a few stalkers who are obsessed with me, so I am, the most interesting man in the world, to message board losers.   :)  (I'm really not that interesting.)

In any event, you're not offended, you're just pretending that his joke upsets you.  Who said Huckabee is offended?  He was making a joke.  Both you and he can feel anyway you want.  I doubt anyone cares.

If you don't see what is happening in society, then you aren't paying attention.  For instance, I posted a thread about the "Pono Choices" program here, where they were teaching little elementary school kids that, among other things, the anus is a genital.  Twisted.  Not until one legislator shined the light on this did they first give parents the choice to opt out of the program, then made other changes.  (Not sure of the current status.)  There are numerous other examples of strong-arm tactics to try and force these amorphous gender classifications on society. 

I am concerned with what kids are taught in school, because I'm not an extremist libertarian.  I care about what happens in my community.  I honestly don't give a rip if you like that, think I should be quiet, etc.  Who the heck are you? 

Extremism is also something that isn't healthy.

No one stalks you.

You are not interesting at all.

You are simply a hypocrite by virtue of stupidity that renders any debate you attempt to engage in as ending up like shooting fish in a barrel for the opposite party.

Yeah, sorry, but something like this is going to lend itself to jokes to the point of begging for it.

Whether Huckabee should have taken the opportunity is another story.

...whether it damages his campaign, that is. Because absolutely no other harm was done that's worth anything.

Yes you ignorant little punk, I said I'm not interesting.  And you, you little weirdo, should stay away from me.  I know you miss stalking Soul Crusher, but like I just said in another thread, I'm not him.  Unless you want to take another break from the forum, don't start trolling you me.

Or you can go ahead and make my day.   :)

Nobody should be joking about anything gender or gay related if they want to keep their job, run for office, etc.  The whole climate is toxic.

Yes, ridiculously so. But other than to himself, it was harmless. It should be hard for anyone to deny it.

Absolutely harmless.  But he'll probably be fielding a question or two about it during his campaign.

WHINE WHINE WHINE.

I said you were not interesting too.  Looks like we agree on one thing.  No one has brought up SC. Except you.  I know YOU miss him.  Lonely spot of being the only member of his fan club just got lonelier since he left huh?

But I am quite surprised you got out from under Straw's thumb long enough to wind up on 240s shoe.  Perhaps you should brush up on the ol' debate skills instead of fabricating "stalking".   ::)
