Here we are $18 trillion in debt and Obama is proposing neutral gender restrooms for government buildings.
Just government buildings? Ah, what's a school in this day and age?
Could this be the start of something much more?
All of a sudden I recall growing up in the segregated South.
There would be 3 restrooms, one for "men," one for "women" and one for "colored."
Back then an extra restroom was an extra expense only a Democrat could love.

    Here we go. The Proof. Astronauts go to the moon. While on he moon they notice intelligent alien life forms. Funny thing is when they leave so the aliens. They realize the alien life forms they noticed are now on the space craft heading back to earth. But when they land still thinking how to explain all this the intelligent alien life forms have of course disappeared.

    How?

    When an astronaut is on the moon they are intelligent alien life forms.

    I love that story it's one of my best.

    I have an open mind about there otherwise being a huge "waste of space" (for no ET's) spoken of a character played by Jodie Foster in a science fiction movie I can't remember the name of.
    I thought that flick got silly when she spoke with her dead father within some other worldly something (do I remember a sea shore?).
    Anyway, I do not look down my nose at rationally reported UFO sightings. A UFO is merely an "unidentified flying object."
    And there's such strange stuff to see on Youtube.

    No we don't have much in the way of values and standards anymore. It's just plain old fashioned finger pointing from some very jealous and repressed people.

    Not a bit. They'll keep sending the checks and devaluing the buying power regular as clockwork. They just won't count it. Congress did it first helping to balance the Clinton budget. It was and is called off budget accounting. It''s all play pretend. They pretend to pay us. We pretend it's enough to live on. Welcome to Mother Russia. Now for the proof. If the budget was balanced with a surplus how did Bubba end up with a 1.4 trillion dollar debt increase? Actually it was more than that he kited some of the payouts forward in his last budget year of which nine moths was actually the first year of the follow on administrations budget. Then sent Chelsea to school to for four degrees and put her in charge of the family checkbook.

    If there are as many space aliens as some seem to think, they must fly over to look at a-holes on a consistent basis.

    Not to mention Belushi and others dressed up to be Killer Bees and the Christmas tree that devoured people within its shaking boughs.

    This entire conversation reminds me of my visits to college campuses some 15 or so years ago. On campus tours my wife and I were taken aback when the tour guides offhandedly referred to the unisex bathrooms in the dorms. All of the parents were stunned. But the guides assured us it was no big deal. Later our kids reconfirmed that it really was no big deal. Live and learn, I guess.

    I was for the last 36 hrs, big time. Now seems ok. Probably hired some idiot from the HeathCare website as a temp, and found him out as a communist thumbtwiddler.

    Oh, of course.
    This time I had no trouble at all.
    Reminds me of trying to show a mechanic what is wrong with my car.
    Of course, whatever is wrong is going to work just then.

    Are you having trouble posting too?
    I did three of these but caught it and deleted two.
    My last two attempts to post did not take at all.
    That was late in the morning.
    Let's see if this goes through.

    Neither. Just a thought. Doesn't seem much different than "Perhaps we U.S. folks have too much Puritan still flowing in our culture." So, do I detect a general anti-sex bias or just a lack of tolerance to let other people free to do what they want to do?

    Yup. Apparently we are rather backward and all this is just very...French. I don't know why, but I keep seeing the Coneheads in my mind's eye.

    I figured it was like that. Have fun in Paris! Love the food, Louvre and walking around.

    Expect a Presidential Directive shortly, Gaiagal. Neither of us will have a choice; the choice will be made by Obama.

    Yes, jimjamesjames, I must agree. I would not like it. I understand, of course, your right to take - what you said- ...but I would prefer to keep my right to not have to bear audio and olfactory witness to it. I guess that ship is rapidly sailing though.

    This should be a humorous remark...except it isn't. Think about it. It's logical. Children will have to be taught that this is perfectly acceptable, even laudable, behavior. Anything else would be discriminatory. If a child under 18 does not tow the pc line...the parent's will be held responsible. :(

    Did you see America's Got Talent? There was a comedian dressed exactly as you described the prisoner - down to the beard. He was thin though and actually looked better in the bodycon dress he wore than most women would. He was also wonderfully irreverently funny with excellent comedic timing, I loved him...but I don't want him in the Ladies Room.
