I see no difference between a "unisex" toilet in a school and the ones in the back of the airplane or in our homes. I see many restaurants going to this model of a private toilet available to anyone rather than have the ladies queue up outside the ladies room while the men's room is empty.

One brewpub I frequent has 10 completely enclosed stalls with a sink area on the outside. Works fine.

I'm still on the fence on this. While genetics (either XX or XY) may be determined at conception, the in-utero hormone levels have a lot of influence. Expose an XX foetus to high levels of testosterone during development and the result is masculisation. Expose an XY foetus to high level of estrogen during development and the result is feminisation. And any obstetrician will tell you, a significant number of babies born could, based on physical appearances, go one way or the other.

We, as a culture, need to decide whether gender resides between the legs or between the ears.

"While Europe is on the brink of a nuclear war"

By what delusion does anyone believe that any nuclear war would be limited to Europe?

Deceptive title. The 30% refers to the 500 who arrived in Berlin, not the 5,000 who arrived in France, much less the hundreds of thousands fleeing to Poland. The fact that this "30%" determination took place at the Berlin main train station suggests that a refugee organization cleared about 150 people out a refugee center and put everyone on a train west.

Fortunately, this did not become a repeat of the M.S. St. Louis episode where 900 Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany were denied entry to the U.S.

@Dr Bobus If English is his third language, I commend him. However the difference between the two words is something he needs to learn. I think you will admit that misuse of lose/loose is widespread, as is the misuse of apostrophes. I taught English in Germany for a while and had a heckuva time dealing with exasperated students trying to make sense of the English language. German (and Romanian) are much more consistent.

My most memorable language gaffe was when we first moved to Germany and had to fill out the customs declaration. My wife and I had brought a birdcage along, and not knowing the German word for birdcage I tried to put down "a cage for the birds" (ein Käfig für die Vögel). What I actually wrote down was “ein Käfig für den vögeln” which turned the noun “birds” into the verb, well, Austin Powers would call it “shagging". The customs officials doubled over in laughter and waved us through.

A firearm is a tool. A very powerful and potentially harmful tool. Training is not about fixing other people's stupidity. it is about being a responsible 'tool' owner.

"an anti-gunner" can just keep raising the "training standards" How? What would be the path for such legislation? Which governors are likely to sign such a bill?

"left-wing educator who votes for Bernie Sanders getting to play "teacher"". Every firearms class I've ever investigated was taught by a firearms dealers' owner or staff. E.g. Home - Range 54
where I can sign up for Kansas Carry Concealed class as soon as next Saturday. Please cite your source where, in the United States, there an 18 month study period is required to obtain a weapons permit.

I have a lot of respect for firearms, taught to me by a big guy in a green camouflage uniform, a Smokey the Bear hat, and chevrons on his sleeves.

Odd that Moses should be pointing this out. After all, he had two wives, Zipporah and a Cushite woman. Lamech: 2 wives. Gideon: several, exact number not stated. Elkanah: 2 wives. King David: 8 wives. Not to mention a second wife one would get from a Levirite marriage or as a plunder of war.

Also, which Commandment is he pointing to? I do not recall one mentioning adultery.

The intent of the abortion was not to get at the cell line. And if the cell line was taken in the 1970s I find it hard to accept the notion that one can collaborate in a crime done before one was born.

I consider receiving the vaccine analogous to an organ donation from someone killed in store hold-up or from domestic violence. The crime is regrettable, but it should not prevent something good.

Something smells here. Any 18 year-old should be able to knock down a 68 year-old with one hand behind their back. They appear to have gone voluntarily to his bedroom, and Correa didn't forcibly strip them, they willingly took their clothes off.

I am not defending Correa, but these seminarians do not appear to have lifted one finger to get out of the situation.
