"The suffix "phobic" suggests people are afraid. They are not; They are disgusted."

They are disgusted because they are afraid of things they don't understand.

The root is still fear.

You prefer to be ignorant? On brand.

In Idaho, it could easily devolve into a shooting. Of course, then the politicians and religious nutters will just blame the trans person, because well...

That's a feature not a bug I suspect.

Yeah I know every single religion has pedophile sex scandals. All of them even the Buddhists. Gandhi used to sleep with young girls supposedly as a test to keep himself chaste but let's not kid ourselves.

Extremist religions need to have warped views about sex because that creates a guilt feedback loop that keeps you coming to the church for absolution so that they can hit you up for money. This and the 4 to 14 pipeline are two of the most gruesome examples of how the sausage is made among the religiously extreme.

I said people who are heavily repressed and emotionally broken by a false religious teaching put forward by right-wing extremists can be broken in other ways especially when they're worse impulses are actively being encouraged and protected by those extremist religious organizations.

Or to put it more bluntly religious extremism encourages pedophilia.

The thing is, just like with gay folks (which plenty were calling mentally ill even just a decade ago) there is no reversing or "treating" gender dysphoria. Just like with gay folks, this is just who these people are.

Ha, I often think this nowadays about this issue.

Before it was gays it was racial minorities too. It really makes me wonder if conservatives will ever get tired of being on the wrong side of history when it comes to cultural issues like this.

Please, Vince was just a really tough guy. And it's hard to write after you dared to piss off Hillary. Have you see her when she's angry? Your hands would be shaking too!

Youre completely on point but I'd like to add that a lot of Muslims that come to this country are actively fleeing the crazy conservatives in their countries of origin so many are moderate even before integration into US society starts.

Do you have a link to that story about Planet Fitness?

It has a weird "letters to penthouse" energy about it, frankly. If he had a link it would not be to anywhere legitimate and you sure as heck wouldn't want to follow it.

What do you mean "there may come a limit in the future"? The limit has been on since the dawn of our species, exists today and second law of thermodynamics remains a proven scientific theory.

The funniest part is that you and your ilk keep telling on yourself without ever realising it. And since your religion is about strict thought control and totalizing morality at societal level, you all have exact same carbon copy arguments.

Look around this exact thread. You'll find so many carbon copies of yourself, all making the exact same error because of your totalized far left morality and how it breaks your cognitive systems on this topic in this exact same way. Making you utterly incapable of understanding the argument made, and instead projecting utterly insane claims upon me instead to maintain mental balance.

I don't like having to deal with a seat that some shit head has pissed all over. So, I'm really not bothered by urinals and always use them even when the stalls are free.

Also WTF is with the massive gaps under the walls in American toilets?

Did you just say gay people are pedophiles?

No.

Next question?

It's entropy, plain and simple. Sooner or later, no matter how secure an organization may be at any given point, skip ahead a few cycles, and attention to detail wanes. Managers stop asking questions, project leaders reprioritize thinking the problem is solved, staff do a "monkey see, monkey do", and then new gaps open up, get taken advantage of, management go into a state of denial, project leaders can't get their teams to give a damn, and then the inevitable breach or audit reveals the extent of the vulnerabilities, and management sends out the big press release that's always "We're reprioritizing security because we take security SERIOUSLY!"

Rinse, repeat, endlessly until the heat death of the universe shows entropy is always king.
