ESPN Fires Curt Schilling after Facebook Post
I wonder what Ayn Rand/John Galt would think about this silliness.

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
You won't believe this:

Couldn't resist...
Like we said in the old days..."get a room", keep it to yourself and everything will be fine. Today we might respond: TMI...
By this logic, it seems like we could pass laws that try to make rural people live like urban people because urbanites are the majority and there's nothing in the Constitution about protecting rural people. The politician tells the urbanites we all know rubes are the source of our problems, so we're going to ban tractor-pulls and encourage rural people to attend the opera or ballet where they feel uncomfortable. While they're uncomfortable, the urbanites can taunt them, "Who's the pansy now, rube? I made you do something uncomfortable for you. ha ha." This is a disgusting spirit.
We'll never see eye to eye, if I understand what you're saying right, because we're starting from different places. I believe individual rights, without regard to group membership, trump the will of the majority.
Huh??!!! I think the guy writing the story may need to go back to Journalism class....or maybe English. The above quote suggests that Mr. Schilling disagreed with the NC state law, but his comments [and ESPS's over the top actions] suggest he was in support of it. A little clarity may be in order here.
I actually have no idea on the science, but I'm content to focus on my own cells and body and respect others' rights to be let alone.
But you want rights decided by democracy, by the majority.
THIS IS MOB RULE...rule by the MINORITY!
I'm not talking about someone born with both sets of genitals and the doc and parents made the wrong decision.
Remember, the vast majority have been buggered when they were kids and circumstances have made them either rebel or decide that this behavior is ok.
That's my own personal line in the sand - the safety of children. A person would probably be safer smacking a grizzly cub in front of its mama than if they harmed a child in front of me...The mama grizzly probably won't go so far as to eat the perp's liver...
I do not think the people focused on bathroom patrol are purposely promoting child abuse, and I doubt forcing people into a bathroom for a gender they don't identify with is going to cause them to abuse children. Child abusers have other issues. I think the bathroom-focused people are just lowlifes, and one of their ways of feeling better about themselves is to try to make them use a bathroom they feel uncomfortable in. I stand up to them categorically, but not because I buy the notion they're fighting a war against parents. That's aggrandizing them. They're just jerks.
If I see a guy follow my little daughter into the bathroom I'm pulling him out by his ear.
I joke that if I could have showered in the girls' locker room after every football practice when I was in school you know I'd have been there every night. Born 30 years too early.
