Hot Dog Day #91 posted:And I'm curious why Paxton is the worst? He seems exactly the same as Abbott. Not only is he the crazy anti-fed type like Abbot but he's massively in the social right wing camp too, and unlike Abbot who was a lovely human being but at least pretended he had to not let his social poo poo bias him. Paxton proudly uses that poo poo to bias him as much as possible.

And just to be clear even the most religious cemetery will put someone in a vault, casket or not, there's zero health risk. You know what there IS a health risk in? Not having a facility Muslim citizens feel respects their traditions and thus causing them to do as Dahn said and invoke the law that allows them to just take the body on a 'yea don't worry we got this here's the death certificate' and possibly not having a professional handle it! Why it's almost as if cemeteries exist FOR the public health or something!

zoux posted:When Perry was indicted everyone was falling over themselves to condemn the indictment as baseless and politically motivated. I'm not seeing poo poo in defense of Ken Paxton, which leads me to believe that the party machinery thinks he's hosed. The Perry thing was a case of him breaking the spirit of the law and maybe the letter and more an example of him being a scumbag than anything. This is just super clear obvious law breaking.

I mean yea he's miles better than King in the sense that at least he's a generic Democrat but I'm not a huge fan of the dude pulling poo poo like playing the 'oh I evolved on gays' card while still doing poo poo like voting against something as basic as a loving study on the impact of bullying children due to their sexual orientation and his poo poo like 'well yea raising the minimum wage is good but we should leave that to a vote (that always ends well right)' or his 'no we need MORE cops and more money for their gear, that's what Houston needs!' stance. I was a Bell guy, at the very least Turner agrees we need to fix our goddamn shitbag sidewalks, that alone makes me like him a bit. I'm just drunk and surly really, Turner's a decent dude and yea, down to him or King it's not a question, I just wish Houston could have nice things and not just ok things.

With some serious glee I've been told by multiple people how they checked the news first thing this morning, saw that Prop 1 failed, and how now they feel that there is hope for this country. It's not even the "rape in bathrooms" deal, it's just that now they're saying "Well now you can't claim to be a woman to get into women's bathrooms one day, then change your mind the next!" But I CAN. I can just walk into a women's bathroom whenever I want! There's no loving Toilet Cop stationed out front saying 'woah, lemmie see if you got a dick or not' that the HERO poo poo would have had executed in the street! If these people really live in this world where they fear a dude walking into a bathroom then they already should be terrified of public bathrooms regardless!

Oil! posted:It's cool because the pro-HERO people mismanaged their campaign worse than Wendy Davis. The first I even heard of anything outside of LGBT protections was after the vote when one of the supporters lamented that because it failed, he (an African-American) could do l still be denied entry into the bars on Washington. I knew it covered a lot more than that, but everything was focused on that one part that got the highly religious conservatives to fight it as opposed to also allowing local protections against discrimination to other groups. I don't know what the gently caress you're talking about dude there were tons of ads and poo poo about 'no, idiots, HERO is about more than lgbt things, it protects literally everyone, like veterans, you like veterans don't you?'

Parachute posted:Yeah there were a few different commercials that were pro-HERO (mainly vet oriented) but it doesn't matter what kind of positivity you're bringing to the table when you're running against a black and white ad that suggests sex offenders are going to diddle some kids in a public restroom and the ordinance gives them the legal right to do so. Yea to be clear for non-Houston guys, the one of the awesome ads we were up against was a little girl going into the bathroom in scary black and white, a dramatic voice saying MEN WILL BE ALLOWED INTO THE BATHROOM and then it ends with a big dude standing in front of a scared little girl. It was straight up 'they're gonna fuckin rape your kids'

It has nothing to do with the residency requirement measure, they were separate unrelated bills. This is basically what made me vote the way I did. The issues with this are because of an unrelated terrible legislation, and if this rightly bothers you should be fighting that rather than the piddly crap 'no you have to live in Austin' stuff.

No there's plenty of reasons to never do anything in Houston that requires moving large amounts of people, but I do think it's reasonable to say what bumped us from a 'eh I'm not sure about them' slot to a 'nevermind let's not go with them' is the lovely optics of stomping out what a lot of other places in America consider a basic equality bill. I'm sure we weren't high on the list to begin with and it's not like as soon as HERO got hosed someone burst into the office going "BURN THE HOUSTON SIGNS QUICKLY" but I think it could be a factor that makes us unpalatable to do business with, especially if this poo poo catches on in a bigger way.

I do agree the superbowl thing was retarded as hell to put in, there's no way any city loses the superbowl and posting some dude saying 'yea I'd like that to happen' isn't proof. But yea, it's speculation at this point for the college thing, I just think that's a much more reasonable thing to speculate. Regardless I agree that Parker is right and this is just going to hurt us in the grand scheme of things. Grandito posted:San Marcos took fluoride out of the water.

Scalia's got some hot takes on the UT casequote:There are those who contend that it does not benefit African Americans to get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school where they do well. One of the briefs pointed out that most of the black scientists in this country don't come from schools like the University of Texas. They come from lesser schools where they do not feel that they're being pushed ahead in classes that are too fast for them. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/12/justice-scalia-suggests-blacks-belong-slower-colleges-fisher-university-texas
