    I'm not, until it walks into the bathroom behind my wife or daughter, then it concerns me a great deal.

    You want this guy to go into the bathroom with your wife and daughter?

    I'll bet your wife and daughter wouldn't mind so much, come to think about it. But have you even asked your wife and daughter?

    Yes, but you can't change your gender.

    I am arguing with verifiable facts.

    Here is what you said:

    "I have seen is women *rightly* complain that they feel threatened by women that appeared to be very masculine using their rest room."

    Now where is the verifiable fact in that? Saying that some nonexistent woman that you have "seen" feels a certain way is the very definition of anecdote. Maybe this stuff works over at 8chan or whichever fetid refrigerator GG meets under these days, but it doesn't work here. Son.

    How exactly do you propose to make the law pertain to only the good people and ignore the bad ?

    How do you do that with any law? There are already laws against bad behavior, and going to the bathroom in a bathroom is not bad behavior.

    Alternatively, I have seen is women *rightly* complain that they feel threatened by women that appeared to be very masculine using their rest room.

    No, you haven't. What are you polling the women at work or at your church about their bathroom preferences? That wouldn't be creepy at all. You're describing your own psychological issues, and it sure sounds like panic to me.

    So answer the point I addressed instead of making more false claims and ad hominem and fallacy. Surprise me with reason and logic instead of providing the expected trolling we normally see from SJWs and shills.

    You understand that as soon as you use the term "SJW" nobody takes you seriously, right? Go have this discussion with the other losers on your GamerGate message board.

    Sure, there are women who would agree with sharing the restroom.

    Jesus, boy, what do you imagine is going on in bathrooms? What the fuck is "sharing" a bathroom, anyway? It's one person to a toilet, last time I looked. Nobody's sharing anything but oxygen and the love of God.

    Maybe North Carolina should pay a little more attention to their heroin epidemic and less to what's in people's pants.

    And here is a picture of a transgender male. This guy started life as a woman. You want him in a bathroom with your wife? I bet your wife wouldn't mind.

    People need to wake up to the amount of social engineering being forced down their throat and take action against it

    Do you ever notice that people who are experiencing panic over transsexuals or gay people love to talk about having stuff forced down their throats?

    Seriously, I don't know what people like you do when you go to the bathroom, but transsexuals, gay people and even blacks pretty much just go to do their business, wash their hands, and then leave. They do not want to look at your shriveled dick.

    That's the one thing the Internet was designed to resist the most.

    Here's a photo of Donald Trump as he would look without all the fake tan applications:

  17. Implying people are impressed by fossil fuels in a renewable energy debate? Why is this even relevant?

    A better question is why "old-ass technology" is something that you would use in a renewable energy debate. Who cares how old the technology is, if it's working and constantly being refined?

    The guy I was responding to was just trying to remove hydro energy from the basket of renewables because he doesn't like the idea of renewable energy. Some people are wedded to the idea, for some reason, that if it ain't a limited resource which is dug out the ground at enormous cost to the environment, then it just ain't real energy. It's the same mentality that sports a bumper sticker that says, "If it ain't King James, then it just ain't Bible!"

  18. Hydro has largely been built everywhere feasible.

    Well, part of innovation is moving the bar of what's feasible.

    The only reason I know about this stuff is that my wife is a mathematician who models waves. I proofread the papers she collaborates on and let me tell you, people are working on some pretty interesting ways of getting hydroelectric power from the ocean. And there is a LOT of ocean.

  19. Unfortunately,

    That article doesn't name a single state that does not recognize hydro as renewable.

    1. It's old-ass technology

    And fossil fuels aren't "old-ass technology"?

    2. It's environmentally destructive, so way to go you just flooded one environment and destroyed a river system.

    Not nearly as environmentally destructive as fossil fuels. Have you have been to coal country? Have you seen what coal mines do to the land?

    3. It isn't available everywhere, so good for you but it does us no good.

    That's really a stretch. Some places have sunshine. Some have geothermal. Some have wind. Nobody is saying everywhere has to have hydro power, but if you have it, yes, it's a renewable resource and yes, it limits the amount of fossil fuels you have to dig up and burn.

    So there's absolutely no reason that hydro energy shouldn't be considered an important part of the basket of renewables.
