Speaking from experience pookey?

I also know those sites also positive impacts. I remember a story where a shelter dog saved a child from a rattlesnake and they used one of those funding sites to pay for vet bills. I think surgery was needed. My point is pookey is right about idiots but their are also good people

Technically we are animals, so you should give money to jelgate

I would have donated just for feeling a tiny bit sorry for her.

I wouldn't. Just like if someone went bankrupt cause they went to the casino, and then begged for cash cause they lost it all, i wouldn't feel one lick of sympathy for them..

Most to me is based on many polls that have been done. Over 55% on ave FROM those polls seem to show many people do think all this trangendered stuff is nonsense.. Gender is NOT separate from sex...

Actually, it's around 46% who are in the "keep the gendered bathrooms", and 41% who say it does not matter, leaving a 13% margin of undecided, so while the "let them pee" crowd is in the minority, it's hardly a crushing difference, certainly not "over 55%", especially given that the "let them pee" numbers are rising.

Seeing as in several states a Sizable majority of the voters there were against it, and still are i can't see how you feel 'most people believe in marriage equality'..

The states don't matter in this discussion, it's "US public opinion", not what X state thinks. "In 20 states, people are against it, so America is against it", Cool, that means "In 30 states people are for it, so America is actually for it"

So basically, get in debt, and go destitute, so you never have to pay anything back...?
Fines are GENERALLY levied regardless of what someone has/owns/earns.. A rich guy gets a fine equal to a poor guy if he breaks the law. SAME should apply to civil fines..

Oh for the love of god.
SHE IS PAYING IT!!
She is not exempt, she has not declared bankruptcy, she has not dodged it she is paying it out at whatever rate the settlement originally, or was re-negotiated for her to pay.

How's about the # of gal specific gyms, but you won't ever see a male only one anymore.
How's about the NAACP, and Congressional black/latino caucuses.. But there are no white ones (or other sub groups)..
How's about the uproar we had several years back when a PRIVATE org wanted to make a white only scholarship, but many of those who were whining about how racist it was, had NO issues with all the black/latino/asian only ones..

Do you want male only gyms?
White caucuses? Hey, have a LOOK at the makeup of most groups that are not -specifically- set up for Blacks or Latino's and tell me what "colour" they are.
White only scholarships, try checking out the numbers first:

Look, I said this to Annoyed, and I'll say it to you as well dude, the majority of the inherent racism in the system is not perpetrated by any real "large group" of individuals anymore it is simply the way the system has been designed and run for hundreds of years by people who -were- overtly racist -and- sexist. White people on the individual level have no reason to feel "guilty" about what their ancestors did, they (today's people) really did not start the fire, but to pretend that they don't benefit from it is disingenuous or ignorant. You look at these things in a vacuum and go "Blacks get more scholarships, it's unfair" when the reality is, MOST scholarships go to whites unless they are primarily low income scholarships, and surprise surprise, there are more low income Blacks, so they "luck out" on a specific subset of scholarships. Of course, then you go "well, their parents didn't work hard enough, so that's not my fault", totally ignoring that "their parents" were denied jobs where they could work themselves up because they were black, or were denied the same educational standards as whites were.
Nothing happens without cause and effect.

And do you think that is more cause people are getting pushed into 'accepting it or else'?

I have a better idea. PUT it to a public vote!.. Or do you think the left wouldn't like that, as it might mean the majority says "NO way in hell"?
Oh that's right, they already did especially in CA, where it got a no vote, TWICE and leftists sued to get the will of the people overturned..

Oh for the love of god.

Then why the hell has it taken so damn long just to get 1 friggen percent paid off??

Do you want male only gyms?

Damn skippy i would like the CHANCE to have one.. BUT as it stands if i tried, i would get sued in a heartbeat for sexism..

[pookey]

I used to go to a mixed gym, and i was ok with it, what i didnt like was the mixed sauna, so i never used it, i looked around and found a womens only night at a sauna and also on the same night a few miles away was a womens only night at the baths, that i chose to use. People make to much fuss about trivial stuff, its give and take, just go with the flow

Are you referring to PROP8?

In which case, I really and sincerely would like to hear your reasoning for denying marriage equality to gay couples?

Damn skippy i would like the CHANCE to have one.. BUT as it stands if i tried, i would get sued in a heartbeat for sexism..

Are you really that afraid women might be better at the gym than you. Are you that insecure about your masculinity?

[pookey]

I can hear PH firing up the gender machine now
