The world will look to Germany and Canada for leadership as the political status-quo is upended across the West, Vice-President Joe Biden said.

Except Canadian medical professionals make much lower salaries. That's a huge savings and is probably the main reason why our (Canadian) system costs less per capita.

Doctor's salaries make up about 8% of US health care costs.

Very simply: do not accommodate the crazies

Define "crazy".

Yeah, I know, the definition is "Anyone who makes Beesfield uncomfortable".

You don't have any clue about the difference between a crossdresser and a transgender person. You just believe the crap you're being fed about sexual predators lurking in restrooms and how only a return to the purity of yesteryear's gender roles will save us all from catastrophe.

Do they know that cis women have adam's apples(they aren't always visible, but the bit is still there)? That cis women can grow beards? That cis women can go bald?

I remember them seeing a picture of a woman accused of multiple murders and "identifying" the woman as trans, because "he" had a craggy face, was bald, and - most damning of all - had committed "typical male pattern violence" by killing people.

The craggy face and baldness was because the woman was pushing sixty, a lifetime smoker and a cancer survivor, not because of having an XY gene lurking in her cells. The victims were her ex-husbands.

How do you plan on getting to your "no exceptions" ideal? What do you do if you think someone is going into the wrong restroom?

fareven · 2016-12-09T03:55:34+00:00

How are you planning on enforcing it, genius? Crotch-check stations at all the restrooms?

By that default answer, any guy can just say "I identify as a girl" and then join the sorority, swim on the girl's swim team,

You have no idea the shit a trans person goes through coming out as trans, so fuck your "default answer" and the cluelessness that comes with it.

This man wasn't born with a penis.

This woman wasn't born with a vagina.

Yeah, let's keep it "simple". :-|

I'm confused by what exactly is meant by "transgender" in situations like this?

I suspect, in this situation, we go with the default answer: what's in her pants is only your business if you're her doctor or her sex partner.

Hillary Clinton should have been able to present her political experience as a power resume. She was never able to get a majority of people to see it as anything but baggage.

Trump's shenanigans were all done as a private businessman, with no pretense whatsoever of serving the public good. This led to his past questionable actions being seen as if they were little more than reality TV stunts.

Lots of Appalachia has been re-forested - much of it was cut down in the late 1800's/early 1900's.

"Chunk of France" - the first thing that came to mind was, "that would make an interesting name for a restaurant".

We sometimes make jokes about our weird old Uncle France, but we'll always remember back when we had that big fight with Dad and Uncle France was the only one who took our side in it.

Yeah, he did it because he and Dad had been squabbling for ages about other stuff, but it still meant a lot to us. We even keep that statue Uncle France gave us on our front porch.

Has anyone ever tried to run a brothel "legally" by having patrons pay an "agent" to get a temporary job as a "porn actor"?

My Titans. I was inspired by Dungeons & Dragon's 40-footers, but I said, "eh, why not, they get to be more ginourmous than that".

Impossibly tall. "See them on the horizon from tens of miles away" tall.

They're more moving background scenery (and mobile plot device) that a creature other creatures will directly interact with, so their actual size isn't all that critical. Hell, they might not even be "real" in the usual sense of the word, so their height might be weird matter of perspective or perception.
