Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostHistrionics aside, your mention of those with albinism does raise an interesting point. Given that they are sensitive to bright light, often requiring sunglasses and lots of sun screen just to go outdoors, shouldn't we be mandating that all windows be replaced with tinted glass in order to accommodate them?
What we should be doing as a caring, society is "mandating" whatever is necessary to ensure maximum possible "accommodations" for ALL citizens - including people with albinism“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

However, I have been in unisex bathrooms [in bars and restaurants] in other countries where the cubicles have had board partition walls that do not reach to ceiling or floor and no one seemed overly bothered. Perchance it is a US or anglophone issue."It ain't necessarily so

Also, I think that we should also be required to change all those %#&$$ bathtubs that are too small for us folks who are five foot sixteen inches tall or taller so we aren't resting our chin on our knees when we bathe.
And every doorway needs to be altered to accommodate really tall folks like basketball players. Why should they risk smacking their head every time they enter or exit a room? Or be forced to subjugate themselves by bowing as they enter -- especially a tall black person having to bow to a group of whites as he enters?
And what about those top shelves in the kitchen? Shorter folks have to get a stool or climb on the counter to get stuff out of them. All kitchens should henceforth be required to lower their shelves by at least two feet. And the same with stores. No shelves more than five feet above the floor.
Next we can mandate that all printed material be embedded with a chip that will read the text out loud so that blind people and those suffering from dyslexia can enjoy the material as well.
And this is not even scratching the surface of "'mandating' whatever is necessary to ensure maximum possible 'accommodations' for ALL citizens.
