Dyslexic racists? I laugh now, but one day the wrong people will realize that 'ginger' is an anagram of the 'n' word and will try to ban it, too.

There was nothing reasonable in what you said, only the same old crap. You tried to assign meaning to what 3rd said, instead of letting a little reading comprehension guide you to your conclusion. He said nothing aside from calling you an asshat. And he was correct.

Hey Pajama Boy, all he's saying is that as usual, you're being an asshat. I figured that one was simple enough even for you.

They are constitutionally guaranteed their freedom of expression, as are those who would express their reaction to what those girls have done. They deserve any and all ostracizing they get, from within their school system or without. As an aside, being anti-racism isn't the same as being PC. Most of the modern PC movement is focused on things like perceived slights and micro-aggressions, and is largely idiotic. Racism is hatred, and is much more serious, and much more ignorant.

My initial reaction was the same, but I've heard law enforcement and victims' advocates recommending the same thing. edit: It only took a minute for me to debunk the wasp spray thing. It's nowhere near as effective as pepper spray, and can land you in serious legal hot water if you intentionally use it on a person since it's labeled as a poison. So - forget about using wasp spray.

I know a few elderly folks who keep a gun in their room at night, but also keep a can of wasp spray on their nightstand. It shoots 30 or 40 feet in straight, easy to direct stream right into an intruder's face, temporarily immobilizing and disorienting them while you grab your gun. I've never spoken with anyone who's needed to use it though.

As far as I know, he uses the womens' room, but I'm not certain about that. He's never had a problem that I know of.

A good friend of mine is a cross-dresser. He's shown me his drivers license, so I know his real name and true appearance, but I've never seen him in real life as anything other than his female alter-ego. It took me a while before I was able to feel truly comfortable around him, but over the years he's proven to be one of the most level-headed and kind people I know. One time he came over for chicken wing night, and after the other guests left, I had the opportunity to ask him all the whys and hows of came to be Erin (he's an ex-marine, former motocross racer, and PGA caddy), especially since he's straight. He's smart about it - he doesn't have an agenda, he isn't bitter, he's never confrontational, he only goes where people are comfortable with him (he spends a lot of time on detail in presenting himself as female, but he's not fooling anyone and he knows it), and he's as annoyed with all the militant proponents of these new sub-genders as anyone. I recently discussed all the new gender variations that are popping up in western cultures with him, and his insight was refreshing and even made me laugh. He said (paraphrased) "while I understand what it's like to know inside that I'm something other than how I was born, I'm still just a dude that dresses like a woman, and that's how I expect to be treated". I can't help but have total respect for that.

Well said!

The biggest understatement of 2016 so far.

Wasn't that when she remarked that you'd not find her in the kitchen baking cookies?

This is exactly the pajama boy crap you typically pull. If something that he says seems inaccurate, why not point it out and/or ask for clarification? We all know that all you're going to do is pull some ridiculous statement out your ass, repeat it fifty or so times, then try to say that isn't what you meant in the first place. Don't you have anything better to do?

He only suggested that they could be running mates. It could have been a lot worse - at least they're not making a porno. Try getting that image out of your head.

It sounded a lot to me like he's equating lobbyists and campaign donors, and I'm long past attempting to divine the intent of his 'ruminations'.

Twat waffle?!?!

We were speaking of campaign contributions, and the case against limiting them. You've been implying that campaign contributions are tantamount to bribery, but it's illegal for candidates to use that money in any personal capacity - it can only be used to pay staffers, produce ads, buy air time, or any other campaign-related expenditures. They are not allowed to keep any of it for themselves.

The day is young.... My only problem is trying to make any sense out of the garbled mass of syllables that you attempt to pass off as discussion.

You do this crap intentionally, don't you?

But Tom, didn't you know that meth comes from methanol?

Be fair - Gator knows all about money and economics. His understanding of the Federal Reserve is proof enough of that.

I've never actually perceived Dr King as a person of liberal values. 'All men are created equal' is a cornerstone of both conservative and libertarian values, not some whacko leftist concept.

There's enough of a story that you started a sensationalized thread about it.

Is it truly natural, organic grass or is it that crap fed with fertilizers and weed-b-gone?

Back in the days when I was a line cook, we used 'Bok Choy' as our code word for weed.
