You're free to criticize that choice, just like how I am free to point out the implications of what you're saying to you. Bye!
YOU, and the article you posted and everyone else are talking about bathrooms. Dont throw it back at me. I have explicitly stated that the bathroom thing is a complete joke, speaking to both sides. That is complete nonsense. Once TG's get their way on this silly issue, they will be complaining when anyone questions if they really are TG's. And you still have yet to tell me how its enforceable. All you said is that non-TG's are not protected....well no **** sherlock. More nonsensical red herrings you constantly throw out.
Great, so why do you constantly use it as a device to ignore the wider debate (a wider debate I have continually brought up in this thread). They can complain all they want about individuals: they will not have the force of law behind their complaints. Critical point: even protected classes have to litigate against a business. And the enforcement mechanism is a the equivalent of a mediator that has no power to fine or jail people. This sounds like one of the "compromise" things you keep on harping about, but don't let it stagger your defense of anti-discrimination through attacking anti-discrimination laws.
Of course but please be careful about taking earlier comments made in an entirely different context and trying, in general, to create mash-ups to suit your agents. I make a report of what the NC attorney generals said about the unintended consequences of President Obama's threat to withhold federal funds and try and turn it into my personal hypocrisy. You are too rabid back here. Always demeaning to the other side. Always manipulating. Always claiming victory for yourself and or your side. It's wearisome. Someday I'm going to have to count up the number of times that you've told someone that they are going to be on the wrong side of history...
You made the report then said something about how people like to have "hungry" children--try not to step away from your stated positions Giddy. I thought you were leaving? In any case, judging how being told you're on the "wrong side of history" precipitates this kind of reaction, I kindly encourage you to not do anything that would chafe your sensitivity. Once you tally up how many times I've told you or anybody else that they were going to be on the wrong side of history, can you schedule those out in 20 years in one bulk email? I want to get a measure of my predictive power. I'd estimate relatively low, but you never know with these things.
Those are the consequences of elections and the policies implemented by those elected. The system is working exactly the way it's designed to work.
1. I made a sarcastic remark that apparently went over your head. I even suggested that you look up sarcasm. In case you didn't know it, nobody likes to have hungry children.... 2. I was done for the evening. The back and forths with you can be interminable and I had better things to do. 3. What chafes me is not being told that but you're saying it. Lots of bad actors throughout history have made the same claim. It's arrogant and dangerous.
Some will. Some won't. So what? I think Springsteen could have made a better decision. That's part of the system too. I'm pretty sure that Springsteen's decision hurt more people than it helped.
1) Nobody except for the Republican Congress apparently. 2) Great, happy 4 u bro 3) Lots of bad actors throughout history have used any number of claims to justify themselves, from God/gods to "they're not human". I'll just go out and discriminate against groups for no reason now so I can at least earn that title of bring arrogant AND dangerous.
Lost in all of this dithering: 1. Look at the thread title 2. While I don't like the Charlotte ordinance, 3. HB2 was a stupid "solution." My 16 YO daughter and I were just talking about how it made no sense, so there ya go....
^ that's the quote you didn't reply to and dithered away from. happy 4 u and your 16 year old daughter bro. https://www.americanprogress.org/is...rehensive-lgbt-nondiscrimination-protections/ Of course, all that is getting hanged up over bathrooms Look at the thread topic: Damn right.
I didn't dither away from anything. That was a plea from some poor soul whose own family could not accept. Do you really think imposing laws that confuse and frighten is the answer? As far as I'm concerned, and I think the state is concerned, there was no problem until the Charlotte ordinance reared its ugly head. The emphasis i would place on the understated thread title is on the word NOT. HB2 had more basic provisions that were, are much more basic and problematic. The bathroom kerfluffle was a distraction. All governance is bull**** anymore! And it's not even in the hand of the millenials yet!
How do anti-discrimination laws in 20 states "confuse and frighten"? It's not in the hands of the millennials. But you better hope it doesn't end up in the hands of Justice Kennedy. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf

We would have to investigate what was the genesis of all the other anti-discrimination laws. What controversy, if any, sparked their creation or did they just quietly slip into existence?
Which is it? Is NC out of step with the movement of history because IIRC 20 other states have such progressive laws protecting LGBT people .... OR.... do "LGBT, individuals still lack basic, enumerated protections from discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, credit access, social and civic participation, and government-funded programs in a majority of states and at the federal level.
