If you needed more proof that George Zimmerman is scum
Bolas replied to yoink's topic in Speakers Corner
That's the whole point. This was never a race issue. The only reason it was given national attention was because it was "sold" as one. As stated above, had this issue just been handled by local authorities, no one would know or care who either of them are and this auction would never have been attempted.

Why do you believe that both genders should not be treated equally? They should but public changing areas and restrooms are generally "separate but equal." Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. -

Why should transgender people be treated any different from cisgender people? They're both just people, equally entitled to dignity. That's what the anti-LGBT crowd just doesn't get. If somebody is born one gender, they will be treated as that gender. Until a TG person states they're TG and starts to transition how is someone to know they don't want to be treated as their birth gender?

The solution is simple: Any kid that goes into the other restroom and claims to be TG, you treat them as TG. If they're serious, it's very supportive. If they were lying, they'll quickly admit it (repeatedly, maybe the authority figure should claim to not believe their denial for a bit more too ) and then have a better understanding. This will also be a positive example for both future TG and a negative one for fake TG pranksters.

Or start from the beginning with conception and maternity changes. Just because we can help a morbidly obese woman have a child, should we or should we tell them that they need to lose weight first for the safety of themselves and the baby before we can help. Just because we can save/revive a premie, is that what's best? Instead of what we can do for people, maybe we should start looking at what's best for them and all of us. Now to get back on topic, what's this new mayor's stance on gay rights? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

The whole illegal immigration thing is stupid. While they may have better lives than in their home country here, as they're not legal, they aren't treated like they would be if immigrated legally. Do we need immigration reform? Yes. Amnesty for those who are here illegally? Hell no. We also need the Supreme Court to revisit the whole "anchor baby" ruling as it's over 100 years old. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_baby If one does not think a law is just, they should work to change it, not just ignore it.

Yes clearly none of them provide cheap labour so legal Americans can have things cheaper. There is nothing cheaper about their labor.... one has to factor in the tax costs and financial/personnel burden for the social benefits/programs for illegals. In an overall big picture view that's true. But businesses, (especially their accountants) only look at the costs on their balance sheets. It's one of accounting's fundamental flaws.

Sort of. By setting an emissions standard you're not letting the market decide, depending on how that standard was enforced. Unfortunately, the market has a poor record of deciding what's good for the health of humanity. And pollution has costs. Making the "high pollution" energy sources pay those costs is only fair. Letting low pollution sources not have to pay those costs is also fair. Edit to add: Allowing the high pollution sources to skate on their messes and making the taxpayers clean them up is a subsidy. Not a direct one, but a subsidy nonetheless. Stated that way if applied to all equally makes sense that the company making or harnessing the energy is also responsible for it's by-products/impacts.

Considering the age of their military equipment and other infrastructure, my bet is on the whole country imploding first. But if they even do get close to a nuclear missle, China will deal with them.

Let's be blunt: If one were to only change the race of a thug or gang banger but the attitude and mentality was the same, they'd still be a scary individual. If one were to change the race of an illegal immigrant, they'd still be illegal. You could come up with all sorts of other "undesirable" lower class stereotypes: the common thread of all being socioeconomic, not race. We don't really have a racial issue in this country anymore, we have a socioeconomic one that impacts some races more than others due to past racism and also what was done to address it and exploit it.

Considering the rise of micro aggressions and trigger warnings on college campuses we're past the point. In reality, racism basically died long ago, what we have today is mostly classism. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

What was the check amount? Was the restuarant having issues with 1-2 people parties running up large checks and then leaving without paying? Were there certain similarities in the dine and dashers?

Would need to know more but from that description doesn't sound racist. An $80+ Denny's bill for two people? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Well, the Oregon bakery is a good example of what you say. But Denny's is a pretty good example the other way. Very little public outcry, very little condemnation. Lots of claims of racism. Even fairly recently (last five years or so). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denny%27s#Discrimination_controversies Almost 20 years ago... Then one incident which they appropriately handled.

I take it you've never been in a situation where you are part of a minority group that is being discriminated against. Housing and employment are two areas where what you suggest doesn't work. Housing is not an issue as very little housing, particularly for poorer people (the ones without the power) is not in some way government subsidized/backed.
