True. Just find it odd that Trump and I would have something to stand common ground on.

They'll follow standard Stand Your Ground procedures: "It's Self Defense all along if the nigger shemale is dead."
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Not anti-LGBT

Postby Tufoba-Beringia » Tue Apr 26, 2016 10:29 am

The bill is not anti-LGBT or whatever. It just makes it legal for *private businesses* to do what they want as long as they don't hurt anyone.

Of course, the left is unable to understand this, because in their view, anything that is wrong, must be banned.

I oppose the stuff on public toilets, though.

They make it illegal for PUBLIC and government buildings to allow transgender people to use their appropriate bathrooms. The law also prohibits transgender people from using their appropriate bathrooms. The law also prohibits cities and municipalities from passing pro-LGBT ordinances. The law also prohibits, for some reason, cities from raising the minimum wage above the national minimum wage.

I'd have expecting the hyper conservatives to frown upon folks with the golden showers fetish, they've become more liberal lately then.

Murphee is an idiot.

Further, fuck him; he has been an incompetent sheriff and he will continue to be an incompetent sheriff.

Nobody will pay attention to him, same as nobody has remotely cared about conservative sheriffs in Denton.

Yep, and I'm fine with the latter two -- cities and muncipalities should not be allowed to impose any regulations on private businesses, forget this hardly relevant stuff. And yeah, minimum wage is crap. I don't like the order on public buildings.

Discrimination hurts businesses. They have no incentive to discriminate. It's bad business practice. But it isn't the job of the government to decide what business practices are profitable.

Friendly reminder that you are statistically more likely to be sexually assaulted in a public lavatory by a Republican politician than by a transgender individual or someone posing as one.

This is false.

Depending on the community, businesses can have incentives to discriminate. For instance, to keep a good face in their community and not be lynched out of it. When it comes down to it, preservation of your business is more important than accepting "the nigger" into your business.

Also, I guess I should go tell my dad's commercial clients to rip out their backflow prevention devices. After all, it's a waste of money for them since the city is making them put them on and really, who gives a shit about a bit of contaminated water finding its way into the potable water supply lines, amirite?
