I suggested banning speech that said a deadly pandemic was not a deadly pandemic and that people shouldn’t abide by best scientific practices because they felt they had the right to endanger their fellow citizen.
I never cared if people erroneously said that it was an attack by the Chinese government.

As far as bathrooms go.… I think the 8 year old girls are going to be more comfortable around drag queens than 8 year old boys are. Second bonus…there are no urinals in women’s bathrooms. So no one should be seeing anyone’s genitalia anyway.

Show me where the laws/rules require males to be dressed in drag before entering the girls bathroom.

I don’t recall you speaking out a single time when we were discussing the active banning of people suggesting Covid originated in a lab. Please copy any statement you made in our discussions critical of the banning s if I’m incorrect

Interesting coming from someone who supported censoring and banning the speech of those who suggested Covid originated in a Chinese lab yet you want adults with penises in girls bathrooms 🤷‍♂️. I’ve never quite understood why some care more about a 35 year old “male” being uncomfortable than an 8 year old girl.

boys vs girls. and yes there is a difference

Cross dressers (or people towing that line) are the people that we are largely talking about. People who are dressing effeminately. Why don't you just make it illegal to expose your genitals to children? Shouldn't that cover any / every situation in terms of laws / rules? Prosecute those who do so regardless of what bathroom they are in. If a man or woman is ludely displaying their genitals toward your son why is that better than doing the same to your daughter?

On the topic of banning speech about China labs, I didn't speak out, but that didn't mean I supported it. I think speech should be considered "ban-able" is when it tangibly endangers the lives or physical safety of others. If people are put at risk because of such speech then it doesn't deserve to be disproven. It just deserves to be banned.

Examples: Yelling fire in a crowded movie theater, Yelling bomb / gun in an airport or at a concert. Spreading misinformation about the public health risk of a pandemic. Spreading misinformation or half-truths about racial, ethnic, or social minorities in efforts to promote hatred (and possibly violence) towards them. I acknowledge that the last two are somewhat farther logically than the first but I do think, based on historical evidence, that they can be just as dangerous to people's safety as the first two if not more so.

The issue creating a place where 8 year old girls feel safe. Being alone in a bathroom with adult males does not lend itself to such a feeling. The fact that you’re more concerned about the “feelings” of adult males than little girls is what it is I suppose.

We posted at length about the lab leak bans as they were occurring. Some posters defended the right to free speech while others chose to remain silent not wanting to criticize the silencing of speech. You uniformly supported banning of speech related to Covid and didn’t once cite the lab leak as an exception. As in the case above…it is what it is.

Aston has an opinion on everything . He consistently supported banning of speech related to Covid. Not once did he carve out an exception for the lab leak related speech.

Kids that young don't feel safe in public restrooms in general, no matter who is in there. Which is why parents generally accompany them when it makes sense.

How many fathers do you see walking into a public bathroom with their 10 year old daughters? Your comment is ridiculous. Again…you care more about adult males feeling comfortable than children. Weird

Your comment is ridiculous. I see a lot of moms who bring their sons into the ladies' restroom. The only reason fathers don't bring accompany their daughters into the men's room is because there are urinals.... which is a problem the ladies don't have to deal with. I don't expect a father to walk into a men's restroom and yell "okay lads, everyone button up"... but again, that's not a problem that would be had for a man being in a woman's restroom unless they were being lude.... which is something they might do regardless of which restroom they were in and something they should be prosecuted for.

Again, having a man in drag in a women's restroom does nothing to your daughter. In fact your daughter probably wouldn't even know. But the person in drag would certainly be uncomfortable in a men's restroom as would the other men (and boys).

Again.... you just want to ban things that you don't like. They don't do any actual harm to anyone, as opposed to the things I'm talking about banning which actually threaten public safety.

You treat this like I'm advocating for someone to molest your daughter which is actually the exact opposite of what I'm intent on. The people that we're talking about tend to have inappropriate feelings towards boys.... not girls..... I'm trying to make your sons safer, where maybe their mothers won't feel the need to take them into the women's room instead of letting them go alone into the men's.

If you just get rid of urinals all bathrooms are basically unisex anyway.

Every comment I’ve made on this subject deals with girls in girls bathrooms. Yet you start talking about mothers and sons. Again…this is about girls feeling safe being alone with men dressed as men in the girls bathroom. I can tell you from experience the reaction of one 10 year old girl being alone in a girls restroom with an adult man. We have a duty to provide our children with places where they feel safe….period. You care more about a 35 year old man not feeling awkward than a 8 year old girl feeling safe. That’s your prerogative. It’s just not mine.

That's it. I say get rid of men's and women's restrooms in general. Everyone uses the same one. It becomes the social norm and no one makes a big deal about it. We get rid of urinals. Done. Finished. You and your daughter can stop whining about it.

Bathrooms in general are not safe spaces nor are they dangerous spaces. They are just where you defaecate. Get over it. The only reason your child cares currently is because it's the social norm they're used to. We just end the social norm which has proven suboptimal for many parties.

No one whines about it at your house. No one whines about it when it's a single restroom rather than a joint restroom. The only difference about any of this is that public men's restrooms have men with their penises in the view of others. We'll end that.

I don’t really care if you’re insensitive about the mental health of children. That’s your decision as callous as it might be. When we have strange men walking into my daughter’s bathroom at our house and closing the door when she’s in there then you might have a point. As it stands it’s just another ridiculous example you’re using to deflect attention from children not feeling safe behind a bathroom door. Your position is what it is. Congrats on being a caring father.

As far as telling my daughter to stop whining about being scared when a man entered the store’s bathroom and started talking to her while she was in the stall….F you. You’re a sad and disgusting example of an adult human being.

Why do you have a problem with just strange men? You don't think that strange women could do harm to your children and there's nothing you could do while standing outside waiting on them? At least with a unisex bathroom you would be there to monitor the entire time.

I really think you are astoundingly overprotective to the point of being an A-hole about it, which is common, but annoying about many parents. It reminds me of someone who would yell at a little league umpire for making calls they didn't agree with.

Men walking into their bathrooms while they’re alone creates anxiety. I know first hand. You’re entitled to your insensitive opinions but that doesn’t make you any less a piece crap as it relates to the mental health of children.

It’s completely about what could and couldn’t happen. Nothing about a sign with a dress on it is protecting your child from pedophiles.

There is the possibility that someone who identifies with women but has a bit of testosterone might be able to help fend off one of those pedophiles for you in your absence though.

I do find it ironic that you dig in on “safe spaces” so much. If you treat your daughters as if they are always vulnerable and need to be protected then they will inherently always feel as though they aren’t safe. There is a reason men don’t commonly share that attitude, it’s because they don’t have any illusion that they are a protected class.

Also you show a distinct lack of care for the sense of safety for adolescent boys in comparison to adolescent girls…. Both of which can be considered to be in danger around pedophiles…. You just prefer that the gender who are most convicted of pedophilia stay around other people’s sons rather than your daughters. Treating adolescent boys and girls so differently perpetuates the problem that you are so keen on solving.

Again….this is about the mental health of children. Providing them privacy and a place to feel safe. 8 year old girls on a whole don’t feel comfortable alone in a restroom with 35 year old man. Boys typically aren’t near as uncomfortable is similar situation. However, I have no issues requiring men and women to use their respective restrooms if the mental health of our children is being adversely affected.

Supporting a 35 year male who wants to use a restroom with little girls is disgusting and ignores the feelings of those children. I’ve still yet to hear a compelling reason why that 35 year old male needs to be in that restroom with little girls. I have to sometimes remember there are creeps everywhere who don’t give a damn about the mental health of our children. Even some on this board apparently. You do you though. Sad.

STFU about the mental health of children.

If you spent half of the time you devote towards bathroom policy on addressing actual school shootings, maybe then you would have a right to talk about children's mental health.

As evidenced by recent events: The danger to these kids isn't tranvestites in bathrooms stalls. It's Loony Tunes with a gun fetish and nothing to lose. I'm sure those little girls in Uvalde were really concerned about who was in the restoom in their final moments. Talk about some screwed up priorities ^

You fight vociferously for bathrooms.… if only the priority of your interests included things that actually matter to the safety of children rather than lip service on non-issues.

Meanwhile a study from Harvard: Researchers looked at data from a survey of nearly 3,700 U.S. teens aged 13-17. The study found that 36% of transgender or gender-nonbinary students with restricted bathroom or locker room access reported being sexually assaulted in the last 12 months, according to a May 6, 2019 CNN article. Of all students surveyed, 1 out of every 4, or 25.9%, reported being a victim of sexual assault in the past year.

Im sorry that your daughter or (or her friend or whoever) got scared, but kids are actually being assaulted by their classmates because of your stance. This has nothing to do with 35 year olds and everything to do with your kid’s classmates.

I’m not talking about school bathrooms which are used by only children. I specifically spoke of public bathrooms where adult men are using without regard to young girls. I’ve never referenced school bathrooms. Quit changing the facts surrounding my argument to try to justify your despicable anti child position. Again…there is zero justification for you or one of your adult male friends to walk into a public bathroom alone with an 8 year old girl. I get that you prioritize the mental health of these adult males over children for reasons only you know . It is what it is. Disgusting as it might be.

My tiny wife attended a women's self defense course years ago. The data presented there was that most women don't put up for themselves. Our society teaches them to feel helpless and do nothing. The course taught women to yell "no" and stand their ground. Stage 2 they taught them simple physical moves, especially kicking. Stage 3 they got of use those moves to kick the "snot" out of guys in padded suits. At the end of the course, the women testified that they had never feel so empowered. Years later a guy snatched my wife's purse. Instead of freezing, she immediately ran after him shouting "stop" and "he stole my purse." Two guys jumped the thief and pinned him to the ground. She would never had immediately acted if not for the course over coming years of passivity training.

Stuff is more important your life. I’m glad your wife was ok and there were men around to come to her aid. However, you never know when the criminal is armed with a knife or a gun. This is even more of an issue when no one else is around. If you’re being robbed (man it woman) give up your purse or wallet. Unfortunately, criminals today place very little value on life. Be smart. Stuff isn’t worth your life.

Go figure NYC has a bad mayor. What else is new?

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses” This is not a new paradigm that NYC is being asked to deal with.

Though, I do think that it might be better to relocate immigrants to places with more actual chances for opportunity and prosperity. It’s hard to start in NYC at the bottom these days. The burden of immigration would be much more tolerable if it were more evenly dispersed.

He said "this issue will destroy New York City." Also, he's being lambasted by left leaning groups fairly roundly for such rhetoric.

Meanwhile many Republican leaning Congressmen / Senators, and news outlets have praised him for such rhetoric.

In a state where it's hard to get elected as a Republican he's a very conservative Democrat probably due to his law enforcement background. I personally think in a state like Arizona he wouldn't be in the Democratic Party.

Biden admin clears the way for prisoner swap deal with Iran, lifts freeze on $6 billion in Iranian funds

Five Americans imprisoned in Iran and five Iranian nationals detained in the U.S. will be released, the administration told Congress.

www.nbcnews.com

 

[Gmoney4WW]

"But supporters of the administration say the White House had to use the leverage it had to secure the freedom of the imprisoned Americans,"

So we allow them access to 6B. That leads to more prisoners. They will find ways around using it for humanitarian purposes only, just like they found ways around the nuclear proliferation policies they signed up for. You get prisoners, and $6b. We get prisoners and 'positive' movement towards another deal, dealing with Nuclear proliferation. Who came out ahead? I'll give you a clue, they are first on a list in alphabetical order. Really stupid move to make.

2). Why is CNN going after him ? Did he cross the line when he sent them a letter telling them how they should be covering the news and this is their response ?

Of course it is both. But imagine it is mostly his memory of events.

I get things mixed up in my head after the stroke happened to me. If you ask me to tell you the story about when my grandfather died, and whether it was before or after my Aunt died in a car wreck, and when it happened in relation to my stroke, and what I was doing through this period related to these events, you will get a story full of falsehoods. All of those events happened within two years of each other, and it is a jumbled mess in my head.

Most of my past life is like this. I cannot remember when something happened for the life of me. I couldn't tell you for certain whether a past event happened 3 years ago or 10, with any certainty. My memory is usually short, for instance I think something happened 3 or 4 years ago, when it was really 9 years ago.

I doubt him getting mixed up about driving a bus as opposed to a truck is a memory issue, but it could be. When your memory is that mixed up, it is hard to tell what your brain is remembering as opposed to a fake memory that you got confused about once, and it caused a recurring misremembrance. But that is not as common. The Amtrak train conductor conversation is almost certainly a misremembrance about time. I can also see him getting mixed up about his grandfathers death and the place where it happened.

It is not a disability of formulating basic thoughts though. Difficulties like this are difficult to explain to somebody who has not gone through it. If they would talk to someone who has memory problems from a major event like a stroke,(or a concussion) but still has most of their faculties, it would behoove them. But they really don't want to get into his problems. That would cause them to admit more fully that he might not be capable of handling the responsibilities of the presidency.
