THIS is what we are warning you all about!!

Had it been illegal, he would have still been in there. This is a stupid argument.

Had it been illegal, someone might not have been afraid to stop him if they had seen him go in. Yours is the stupid argument.

[Carrikature]

Are you purposely being obtuse?

Men going into bathrooms designated for females and assaulting a female. In this case, a little girl. How hard can this be for you?

It could happen regardless of how the bathroom is designated, but legally allowing men to enter women's bathrooms is going to produce this kind of result.

This is why the reasoning is stupid. It's irrelevant. This result already exists. It obviously doesn't matter who's allowed in there or not. Gerbz is correct: "The larger point is that children under a certain age should be accompanied to public restrooms regardless of where we land on the current ridiculous issue."

The law doesn't allow 'men' (yes I know) to enter bathrooms. I'm afraid the argument of this op doesn't quite work. He sounds like a predator, and there's nothing to indicate that things would have been different in the past.

And they might have been afraid to stop him.


Or, more likely, no one even noticed him going in there. Which would be unsurprising if the bathrooms are empty and down a hall together like they are almost everywhere.

Regardless we are done with Public School forever. And Texas or North Carolina sound ok right now.....

[Cow Poke]

Not Texas?

So FAR, we're good here - and I think it helped that we fought back against that woman Mayor who tried to have Pastors' sermons subpoena'd. So, yeah, I'm good here!

[Cow Poke]

The bible tells us that things will get worse.

Yeah, and people would often tell me "cheer up, things could get worse", and, sure enough, they often did.

You'd need a really, really good reason to justify that sort of thing. Like inciting a riot level stuff.

[Tassman]

If you find a country where the truth will be allowed, let me know.

One person's "truth" is another person's religious superstition. We certainly don't want to impose the latter upon innocent children before they're of an age to critically evaluate the information otherwise one could be accused of religious indoctrination and that's a very bad thing.

Funny, there's so few things I'm actually in agreement with the far right on. This happens to be one of them. I don't necessarily always agree on tactics, but with this is its like HOW THE #(*#(*#&(&$*@#(*&(@&# AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP MY LITTLE GIRLS SAFE FROM CRAZY OVERSEXUALIZED PEOPLE?!?!?!??!?!

Well, if you were smart, you would do what most parents do, you would accompany your little girls to the public rest room. Gender specific bathrooms aren't going to stop sexual predators. I don't think that this issue is about child molesters anyway, thats just the tactic of fear used by the right wing to rile up their naive backward thinking constituency. Open your eyes, transgendered people do exist, get over it.

Or, children could be deprived of the hope of Christ and told there is no God, and that would be a worse thing.

Oh, the Iron E!

I don't think children could care less, let them grow up before brainwashing them so that they can think and decide for themselves.

[mossrose]

Fine. Let them grow up before teaching them about the THEORY of evolution, and how to put a condom on a banana, and how big oil companies are destroying the world through climate change, and how it's ok to feel like you are a boy one day and change your mind the next and in so doing become a victim because you can't use the potty with the other sign on the door, etc. So that they can think and decide got themselves.

Instead of starting to teach some of that crap in kindergarten.

You keep your bull away from my kids and I will keep mine away from yours, ok?

Unfortunately, the double standard strikes again. Because your bull is taught to my kids every day, from a very young age, at a public school. And not one word about how Gid wants us to live is allowed in those same "hallowed halls".
