QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 16, 2016 -> 06:49 PM) I think greg is for the Minority Report approach. all we need is telepaths Have u traveled much lately? The public is getting sick of it and is demanding action. Nobody wants to go to the airport 4 hours early to catch a stinking flight where you are cramed in like sardines.

Read some encouraging stuff about the FBI investigation, that they want Hillary prosecuted and will make a stink if Obama doesn't allow it to happen.

The TSA lines are getting ridiculously long. Some people won't go through the Xray machines as fear of cancer. Others won't do it because they are sick of other people seeing their privates. TSA needs to get its act together and speed up the process. There is no fricking reason you have to take your belt and shoes off. Get some f***ing bomb sniffing dogs up there. Having to disrobe in 2016 is a joke!!!!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 16, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) Lol. Dicks in a shower. I'm sure that's a huge issue. And Greg show me the link on the second half of your rambling. I'll find links if you can't look it up. Google the Kansas State High School state track meet. Some person who has a male body part demanded to run on the girls track team cause he identified as a girl. He got second in the 800 instead of finishing last as a boy. And the other link I saw said the government guidelines to schools say little Johnny WILL be allowed to compete on the girls team as Jane. What a f***ing joke. QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 16, 2016 -> 01:30 PM) Wasted posts. You're afraid of transgender people. The sooner you admit that, the sooner you'll recognize what we already know. You don't understand transgender people and therefore they must be trying to assault your daughter. In this day and age when parents are so protective of their little babies, I thoroughly don't understand how people can give the OK to letting people who have dicks in the same locker room as girls. It makes absolutely no sense at all. If you go through the operation, fine, you have proven you truly believe you are a girl. Otherwise, just go into the men's room ... please.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 15, 2016 -> 07:08 PM) I'm sure for some on the far religious right, it is an attack on the "T", but for a whole lot of us, it's just simply we don't want any dudes allowed anywhere that our daughters are naked. I have sympathy for the problems that transgenders are facing. I just think we've come up with an absolutely horrible solution. Great post. QUOTE (farmteam @ May 16, 2016 -> 05:25 AM) But what's the reason behind it? Is it because you don't want them checking out your daughter? In that case, are you ok with a lesbian near your naked daughter? Is it because you don't want your daughter to see a penis, even one attached to a human with no interest at all in your daughter in any way shape or form? If so, you're just scared of having your daughter catch a glimpse of a body part. You're entitled to hold that view. But it's not a good reason to marginalize a single person, let alone a whole category of people. He said he didn't want his daughter in a shower with dicks in the shower. It's ridiculous that America is siding with the small population of men who "identify" with being a woman. Hey I just read this today. Part of the law is if a male identifies as a girl, in high school he MUST be allowed on the women's basketball team if he so desires, not the men's team. WOW. This will be interesting. I think it'd be a helluva lot of fun to DOMINATE the high school girls games. If I were in high school I might fake it so I could score 40-50 in the women's game vs. five points in the boys game. Seriously this is ridiculous. The boys are gonna be able to say "I identify as a girl!" and be allowed on the girls softball team! Wow.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 15, 2016 -> 03:05 PM) Lol. Pampered babies, yet you are too scared to order a sandwich behind a guy in a dress. I love the way message boards work. When you finally throw up your hands at a person who dissents you attack the person and try to mock/humble him. Not "scared" If you read my posts I'm trying to be polite to how the person in the dress looked. Do you get the hint ... guy in heels in dress, Greg, Greg's stomach not wanting food? I'm not afraid of him. I'm not liking the visual very much. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 15, 2016 -> 04:13 PM) This dude is telling people to toughen up when he had to leave a subway because of how someone dressed/looked. Fantastic. I don't have to toughen up in a restaurant. My stomach has to be not grossed out and want food still. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 15, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) It would be fun to see him freak out if a guy in a dress saddled up to the urinal next to him. I would continue doing my thing. I'm not going to get arrested. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 15, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) Let's just say what this is, a fear of transgendered people sharing a bathroom with you because omg they are gross. I don't want people with dicks getting their jollies off looking at women and maybe the nuttier ones attacking them. I want people with dicks to stay away from the women til they get the full operation and/or change their birth certificates completely. QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 15, 2016 -> 04:31 PM) How many f***ing times do people have to say that it's not a fear of transgendered people--it's a fear of straight people taking advantage of the situation? It's only been said fifty times in this thread? Are you that dense or just intentionally ignoring what's been said because it doesn't jive with your far lefty commie views? And yes, there are already plenty of cases of straight guys doing exactly that. Great great post.

This is one of the most absurd issues in American history. Considering the amount of people this affects the main gay and lesbian rights group should be ashamed of itself for jumping on this bandwagon. How many people in this world have a penis but "identify" themselves as women? How many? And we're going to change all the restrooms in the entire f***ing country for them. All because they might be inconvenienced for the amount of time it takes to go to the bathroom. Listen, it's time to toughen up. If you have a f***ing dick go to the men's room! One other thing ... this PC stuff on campus is out of control. Comedians won't venture anywhere near a campus anymore cause of the PC bulls***. Jokes aren't laughed at by the pampered babies of this world. At the mere mention of the word black, they hiss. Gay they hiss. The audiences boo the comics off stage, famous comics. It's disgraceful what has happened to America. Maybe Trump can change the PC bulls***. What do u all think of this article. Sounds like Americans are gonna homeschool their kids rather than have them subjected to this crap. And why wouldn't they homeschool their kids over this? Here's what this means in real life: A junior football player comes to school and decides he'd love to go into the girls bathroom so he simply walks in the girls bathroom. He hangs out in there. When approached by the dean: WTF are you doing??? He says, "I identify as a woman. I demand to use their bathroom." Boom! He's in. By law! If this is America ... time to homeschool or go to private school where they can make rules and do as they please. http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/05/13/tx-l..._article_footer Hmmm man choking girl in women's bathroom. http://www.wnd.com/2016/05/obama-obsession...s-in-bathrooms/

QUOTE (South Sider @ May 15, 2016 -> 02:48 AM) I know it's straying off topic from Jason vs. Hawk, but I want to chime in on some of the Cubs vs Sox talk and pose a question I have been pondering recently. In the event that Michael Jordan was actually awesome at baseball and played his career out on the White Sox, do you think he would have heavily influenced fan interest towards the Sox? Do you think he would have made no impact, brought it close to 50/50, or turn it into a Sox town? If he was awesome? Probably. He probably would have played 10-15 years with the Sox if he was awesome. BTW, that ESPN show on Jordan's baseball career was awesome. He actually turned himself into a pretty good baseball player. He was stealing bases that final year and he was learning how to turn on his pitch and drive it. He had a few home runs. He became a pretty average baseball player. I remember Francona or somebody saying he was on track to be a big leaguer.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 15, 2016 -> 12:47 AM) That's why we have the Constitution. To protect the rights of the minority from being infringed upon by the majority or even "factions" (feels like the perfect word for this election cycle.) I wondered when I read Greg's line what an internet message board would have looked like in say, 1935, "those pesky Jews, why should we, the Nazi Party be afraid to step on..." Of course, bathroom discrimination vs. holocaust atrocity isn't quite the same thing (nor is Trump Hitler), but the point remains that the system exists to protect individual rights from being trampled. The operative question, of course, is what are those individual rights and who defines them. During the Bush Era, we saw that the Patriot Act could supersede our rights, rightly or wrongly. What are Greg's rights (to be offended or to "protect" his daughter, even it's an imaginary need) vs. the rights of those wanting to utilize the bathroom where they feel most comfortable? What provides the greatest good for the greatest number of people? Are there millions and millions of fellow Greg's out there, a Nixonian silenty majority on this topic that are afraid to join Greg's crusade openly and publicly? The state of Kansas, which is run by a moronic governor (he'd still win re-election tomorrow if there was an election cause of the fact it says R before his name, even though he's damaged the state dearly) is probably going to pass one of those laws that says if you want to go into the ladies room you have to have 'lady' written on your birth certificate and you'll have to get it changed lest you get thrown into the men's room. So Kansas will face all the boycotts, etc. Missouri I believe survived unscathed; the law didn't pass. But Kansas has some who are pushing to deny use of the women's room to anybody who has a penis.

Trump is going to reveal his tax forms? Should be interesting. I doubt he gets 250,000 bucks a speech.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 14, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) Bloody hell greg! You are one of the most rigid, black and white posters on this forum. Stop speaking in absolutes so your posts are more bearable. All politicians get ripped and the fact that you use the media as evidence is god awful. Rush and Meghan are conservatives, so they will naturally be biased against any liberal. That socialist nutjob tidbit comes from the right wing base as well. The criticism of Trump are pretty much from both sides of aisle. Did you watch any Republican debates this election cycle? They were insult filled slug fests. Seriously, go watch them, I dare you because you will find out your posts have zero merit after watching his alleged republican colleagues rip him on national television. The hardcore Bernie supporters have been harping on Clinton for a while now even to the point there is a Bernie of Bust movement. Look it up! No one is free of ridicule and the fact that you think it's one sided shows how intellectually lazy you are. Come on now. It is one-sided. Do you watch cable channels? Hillary's transgressions rarely get mentioned. It's like they don't want to even acknowledge the email problem exists at all. It should be part of the discussion how badly she wants power, but nobody in the media is digging at all.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ May 13, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) You said to trust you - that where there's smoke with Hillary there is definitely fire. The only reason that I should trust you on that point is if you have personal knowledge of Hillary Clinton's actions and defenses. I can say "I don't trust Trump with foreign policy because his statements have no basis in reality" (getting Mexico to build and pay for a wall between the countries). I can say that I consider Trump's rhetoric regarding foreigners to be ignorant and inflammatory. In both cases, I have evidence backing me up. In neither case am I saying "Trump is a war criminal! He's going to jail!" IF you were merely saying that you do not trust Hillary Clinton because she has changed policy positions repeatedly over the last 20 years, or that you don't trust her because the e-mail scandal, at best, shows a lack of judgment that raises concerns about her ability to lead, I might disagree, but at least you would have support for your argument. Time and time again, you assert that Hillary Clinton is not a nice person (without considering the fact that someone might consider Trump or Cruz or Kasich's actions that of a not very nice person either). Time and time again, you rail on Hillary Clinton as a liar and someone heading to prison without any support for those arguments. Simply put, you have an ax to grind against Hillary Clinton and your posts contain zero analysis or objectivity on that point. Please IlliniLaw and others. If you are Clinton fans here is EVIDENCE of some of her flip flops and shoddy behavior. Elizabeth Warren is a liar, right? Watch this and tell me if you are not sickened by Hillary or at least bothered by her. Oh, but many will blame the messenger ... WARREN IS LYING!!! Sure she is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d60AzoIqvE

I cannot believe America is so P.C., so afraid to step on any group, that this is an issue to where big companies will boycott the states that merely want to keep females with penises OUT of the women's bathroom. Do you realize what a small percentage of Americans we are talking about here?? Truthfully is it even 1 percent?? So just because a man with a penis IDENTIFIES with being female we are going to pass laws letting this person with a penis go in the ladies room? My god. How about attacking the homeless problem America?? Or saving the environment? Or fixing roads? Making sure our seniors won't all be homeless? Having affordable healthcare! No ... we're going to worry about changing all the bathroom signs in America to make sure people with penises who IDENTIFY with being female get to go in the women's room. What a country.

Meanwhile the same simplistic criticisms of Bernie (socialist nutjob) and Trump (wacko narcissist, asshole) are accepted as gospel. I don't get it. I have an axe to grind against Hillary yes. She's a career politician who believes it's her turn and America for some reason is all to ready to coronate her. Nobody can blast Hillary, but Trump, Bernie are mocked, ridiculed and criticized and nobody bats and eye.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 13, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) jesus just stop already. Obama's ratings are going up because people are realizing that we're facing a future President Trump or President Clinton and the collective feeling is: Do you deny this happened when Obama was running for re-election? Suddenly oh boy his approval rating is high. Get him back in that oval office then we can point out some negative things ... til it's election time again. QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ May 13, 2016 -> 08:54 PM) Greg, I didn't know you had such access to Hillary Clinton! Based on your personal knowledge of the facts and circumstances, I will definitely trust you that where there's smoke, there's fire! Just as some on this board shoe away Bernie with, "He is a socialist! We cant have a socialist!" and Trump with "He is a war mongering wacko; he is dangerous!" I can come back with "Hillary is a proven liar (we're not rich we just accept 250,000 a speech from Goldman Sachs, lol) and is on the cusp of jail."

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 13, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) A bad post but not nearly as bad as your response. As others have noted, same-sex abuse by coaches or teachers happens and yet I don't see declarations that people won't send their children to public restrooms or shower rooms because there will be someone else there. Because a parent like Hickory, a concerned parent, will not let his daughter go into a locker room when it is APPROVED for a penis to be in there. Why is his post a bad post. He is being a GREAT parent.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 11, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) I wonder if the airlines offered two options, one with the current security levels or one like the good old days of just walk on, which flights would fill up faster. Using common sense at least might help.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 13, 2016 -> 08:56 PM) As has already been pointed out to you, drag and transgendered are not the same thing. I don't know which he was, my bad. What do you think of Hickory's post?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 13, 2016 -> 08:14 PM) When my daughter gets to the age where she is expected to shower at school after gym class and/or athletic events, if the school is not providing a penis-free place to shower, she won't be participating in activities. Finally! Somebody besides, uh, ME, is thinking about this in common sense, put yourself in the situation terms. Hickory, thank you. His comment, is REALITY, folks. So we get a guy who dresses in drag (if he's got the male body parts he's still a guy I say!) and says he "IDENTIFIES" with being a female so he is welcomed into the women's bathroom/shower room. This is the reality. Girls in elementary school, high school, have to go in the shower with the PENIS out for all to see! Some of you are shocking me with your cavalier, get your head out of the gutter he's not there for sex, talk. THE REALITY is somebody's daughter, 12 to 16 years old has to get in a shower with a dick nearby! Thanks, Huskers. I thought some people would think about putting themselves in this position when I kept bringing up the Subway situation, but everybody just blasted me for not being tolerant of the transgender (he might have had a dick and just been in drag) rather than not being a p**** and manning up and forcing my stomach to eat with him in the restaurant. THANK YOU HICKORY

It said: "President Obama's approval rating stands at 49/48, the first time we've had him with a positive approval spread in a considerable amount of time." Well, well, I've pointed out in the past mysteriously Obama is beloved near election time. That's when the media returns to its roots and makes sure everybody loves the Democrats. Now shortly after election they might have some negative crap on Obama, or off an on the first 2-3 years there's some negative stuff, but when it's time to elect another Democratic president, you better believe people start saying how great Obama is and how his approval rating has skyrocketed.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 13, 2016 -> 05:48 PM) I'm still in utter disbelief that Trump is the Republican nominee. Does the GOP even f***ing care about their brand anymore? I could say the same about Hillary if and when she gets indicted. I mean trust me, where there's smoke oh there indeed is fire with her. I'm hoping she gets indicted before the election but she could get it after the election too.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 13, 2016 -> 07:32 AM) Greg, it's never gonna get through to you. p.s. Did you know that not only is one person not representative of all transgendered people, but if you look past Clay Travis at Fox Sports you'll know that her rep shot this down as BS I'll make u the same bet offer. A beef sandwich at the Cell and a Big Hurt beer or Coke on it. Jenner will admit he's made a mistake within a year of right now is the bet. By next mid May he's saying he wants to be a guy.
