What are your thoughts on the world?

Yep Desnuts, most of them are individual restrooms, but not all and still no one will be upset if someone (man or woman) use the toilet dedicated for opposite gender.

Huh Chal, my English is not so good to understand your (funny, I suppose) comment about political side of this ''problem''.
But I hate exaggerated political correctness too.

[Most Lee Harmless]

It's all down to your point of view : what is 'political correctness gone mad' for one person is 'simple common-sense' for another : its the root of many social problems, a majority considers their practice to be 'obviously right' or 'entirely natural' and any that dont meet that standard must, ergo, be 'mad, bad, evil or a danger to us all'. When its the minority with the bug up their ass who act to enforce their view, we tend to define it as a form of 'terrorism' : when its the majority standing by applauding as the undesirables are marched into the camps, we call it a victory for justice : after all, one of the most cruel, murdering insanities of our times was legally elected, its madness legally enacted and its ethics blessed by the defenders of Holy Writ : now we repeat that insanity by simple dint of changing 'Jew' to 'Muslim' : fear of the 'other', the one who is not the same as us, who acts differently, worships differently, dresses differently, that drives a lot of evil in this world. And of course, to them, we are the 'other' too. But its a form of populism that wins votes and elects leaders on a wave of panic and fear : so, no surprise wannabbee leaders find it such a fruitful path to power. I just wish we could maybe learn from our history and not get fooled so easy every time.

Give Israel to its rightful owners, the donkeys!

[Most Lee Harmless]

We define 'rightful owner' as, in the ultimate, to be the ones with the most guns : otherwise the Native Americans would be the ones demanding Trump pay to build a wall to keep his Scottish ancestors out...

But it would be interesting if Mexico demanded the return of its lands stolen at gunpoint by the USA... and offered to build a wall around Texas to keep the rest of the USA pure from foreign intrusions...

[Crackedcubes]

Ultimately, wasn't the Queen of Spain that was granting land to settlers in Texas?

[ChaIbaud]

Not sure Cracked. That's either something I don't know or something you are mistaken on, queen Isabella funded Columbus and his exploration of the new world which I guess you could link to texas

Aye, and the French sold Lousiana to the USA, doubt they consulted much with the residents at the time, the same way the indigenous Alaskans didnt get to vote on being sold by the Tsar. Still, at least in that case Russian law at the time decreed the Tsars citizens and lands were his personal property to dispose of as he saw fit...

We don't want the Cajuns next door, they stink and party all the time

Not much difference now only more countries adopt this.

Totally agree!
Ignorance creates fear and fear creates hate... the fertile land for sociopaths and psychopaths to rule nations, states...world.
Living in multicultural society, studying and working in field where you have to know different cultural heritages, having friends of different cultural, ethnic, religious roots, having antifascist ancestors, makes me a person who can't hate someone only because of difference... But it's about my real feelings, not because it's politically correct!
