Don’t negotiate with traitors. Meeting in the middle with an unreasonable man just means they draw the line further back next time.

I listen to Scottish bagpipes voluntarily. I would love to help others discover how wonderful the genre is. Holding them in the stockade until Stockholm Syndrome kicks in will help make converts.

Only transactional relations are conceivable by this administration. If you still think they care about anyone or anything other than themselves you’re one of the biggest idiots to ever exist.

It’s one of those foundational “where do our rights come from” debates.

Are rights: A) Granted by a government B) Derived from nature and recognized by the People

I’d it’s (A), then they can be taken away by a change in the law. They’re just you’re because some monarch or bureaucrat decides you no longer should have it.

If it’s (B) then you always have the right and the monarchs or bureaucrats denying it to you is an assault on your human rights.

While a trousers in school debate isn’t exactly life or death, I see the title’s wording as suspect. It says the girls are now “granted” the right, which means the government decides if you have rights. That’s (A), while I would hope an article writer would want (B), and say the girls’ right to wear trousers has been “recognized” by the courts, which means it should never be taken away without the removal being an act of supppression of human rights.

Language and fraking matters here.

I’d like to see that it is a right, not whatever this headline implies:

“Right to wear trousers recognized by courts.”

If it’s a right, then you always had it and it was being denied to you. It cannot be granted unless the government owns you. So which of those would you rather it be?

How are Americans this dumb? Seriously seriously dumb.

This is the “ignore the problem I created and it’ll go away” stage of problem solving by a serial bankrupter.

Republicans are bullies. They have unearned power and don’t know why educated, thinking, and skilled people want nothing to do with their small minded hatred.
