VitalSigns posted:Now which hip-hop song has lyrics about how lynchings are great? I need to know where these poor mushy-minded frat boys heard the words they repeated without understanding what they mean. Rush making that statement is a pretty good illustration of his methods. Since the chant is pretty simple and obviously some old SAE poo poo and has nothing to do with any rap. Rush either: 1. Is bloviating on the matter without having read or listened to anything about it other than the headlines and is making his point without even having learned what the words to the chant were, or 2. Knows very well that the statement is completely and obviously false, but is relying on the credulity of his listeners and the fact that they would never fact check him or even believe anything fact checking him. The fact that it sounds like his assistant interrupted him and he immediately semi-backtracked on it suggests number 1, but I'm sure he does both one and two on a regular basis as a staple of his show. The now famous incident about the Lord's Resistance Army is a pretty good example of number 1.

Armyman25 posted:Well, possessing male genitals while in the women's locker room seems to be the sticking point here. it doesn't matter at all. there is no legal basis for gendered rooms, it is entirely a social convention. that means any private place of business can have any sort of policy they like regarding who is and is not allowed to use any room in the facility. the only potential illegality is stuff like peeping, or indecent exposure, which depends on intent and not mere presence the planet fitness thing is because one patron (a biological woman) got offended because they encountered a transwoman in the women's changing room, which i understand has seperate changing rooms anyway with no space for any common nudity. so there's no problem there. the upset patron took it up with management, and was told "our policy is to treat someone as they present their gender identity." where this gets dumb is the upset patron then went back to the gym not to work out, but to raise a fuss with other patrons in the women's locker room about how unsafe it is to permit "men". no place of business is going to appreciate you hanging around talking poo poo about other customers and trying to cause problems. so they canceled the lady's membership and told her to get lost. so this lady's ejection from the gym is entirely because she stuck her nose in other customer's business where this gets dumber is that now it's some weird transshaming issue as people get real upset that trans people are not being discriminated against, feeling that it's "unsafe", despite the fact that the only person actually hamed by this was the transwoman, who is now being widely named, shamed, and mocked in bigot media for going to a gym it seems two assumptions are necessary for the people who think this is some kind of PC insanity -you have to assume that, naturally, biological men are sexual predators -you also have to assume that women cannot peep, commmit indecent exposure, or otherwise sexually harrass other female patrons because nearly every objection to the transwoman's presence is couched in some kind of argument that "they're a pervert" or "what's stopping me from dressing up like a lady if it lets me perv on people" which ignores that perving on people is illegal, regardless of your sex or gender identity boner confessor fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Mar 12, 2015 |

I've never understood why they want MORE competition since in the glorious free market that would result in their worth plummeting as there are much more skilled applicants competing for the same jobs. Logically, from a self preservation point of view, you'd want Walmart employees to stay where they are by improving their living conditions so they don't look to getting in on your turf, but libertarianism is never about actual logic and all about short term greed and narcissism.

It's also incredible that even "College Republicans" have tried very, very hard to get them away from policies that have been loving them over in national elections only to be met with silence and "sucks to be you". http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/college-republicans-to-young-voters-forget-social-issues-it-s-the-economy-20130821 I wonder how many times they have pushed to the left just by "Millenials" being exposed to their bullshit?

A little late to the party, but I hope Crowder gets a taste of what life is like for trans women who don't pass. I'm trans, and I vividly remember one of the very first times I went out in public, having a car full of what looked like frat boys stop so they could scream "human being!" at the tops of their lungs. Then again, he might think that's the correct response.

An acquaintance was going on about this at the lunch table the other day so I told him I'd bet him 100 to 1 odds it doesn't happen on any dollar amount he chooses. He laughed but then he shut up about it. I find that "put your money where your mouth is" works great on people like this because it undercuts the whole big, straight-talking tough guy image they invariably cultivate obsessively.

Like nobody is stopping them from setting up more Christian schools if they really do care that much. I know a few people who went to Brandeis University, which I think was the first accredited Jewish college post-WW2. The biggest difference for all 3 of them was that they got the Jewish holy days off like Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. Plus. I think they had a straight-up kosher cafeteria. I can't imagine it'd be much different for a Muslim university. Facilities to accommodate orthodox Muslims, while also respecting anyone who doesn't practice. Just like most Christian universities, except for the respecting anyone who doesn't practice. I think I'd rather be a non-Muslim at a predominantly Muslim university than a non-Christian at most of these Christian universities.

You assume his stupid prank involves him being in "disguise" for more than a few minutes in more than one specific location. He's not driving to the place in his "disguise" at all. I wouldn't put it past him to go to the mens locker room, get dressed, then immediately stroll into the womens locker room. He's the epitome of a person who never got out of middle school.

Does Crowder even get any money for being a Twitter/FB attention whore, or is he just trying to raise his profile to land a paying wingnut welfare gig on Fox or on the radio? I think you guys mentioned he has some kind of small time show biz career (the voice of Pinky or the Brain?), but as he goes out of his way to be as aggressively assholish as possible with his name plastered all over his antics, I can't imagine anyone in that business would want to hire him for anything unless it was for some wingnut financed project like Going Galt Part VI: The Galtening , some Kirk Cameron special or something.

Would it be horrible if bathrooms were just Unisex? Like rather than having men's rooms and women's rooms, they were just bathrooms. Look I'm straight white male so I am definitely missing out on other perspectives here, but wouldn't that kind of nip this problem in the bud? edit-The transgender people and bathrooms problem, also it would solve the changing stations in women's rooms but not men's rooms problem.

FuzzySkinner posted:It's also incredible that even "College Republicans" have tried very, very hard to get them away from policies that have been loving them over in national elections only to be met with silence and "sucks to be you". I'm in the same boat as you, although sympathetic Republican leaders actually kind of encouraged me to go be liberal. So that was nice. The thing is, with a lot of this stuff, everything is catered towards the one ideal Republican stereotype, and anything to divert from that is rejected. For example, I may think that Republican economic policies are good but I don't carry a gun - I'm a liberal heretic. All of the College Republicans fit that sort of thing, where they check some boxes but not all (because some of those boxes are being really old, among other things). The College Republicans will get rejected because they aren't a rich business owner with five guns and racist outlooks on the world, and will then get rejected by their peers for cultural things. (Like how the Wayne State Republican in that article thinks he can grow his group by taking people to a gun range. I doubt there's that many people at Wayne State that either want to go shooting, want to go shooting with him, or want to be invited to go.)

The problem the fox hosts have is not the doing of racist things, but that the DOJ is telling people the racist things that the police did. This is a pretty common theme in right wing media. It is the messengers fault for racial tensions and not the fault of the perpetrators of racist actions. Raccooon fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Mar 12, 2015 |
