What an original idea.... years ago they used to call it "freedom of speech" before certain people in America decided that they had the exclusive right to decide who and what could be discussed in an open forum. Typically the lock-step, self-righteous tolerant ones will ignore the substance of the speakers point and reflexively launch into vicious personal attacks. But what will satiate the mob if there is no one left attack? Ignore YB and her comments scroll right off the page. Nice challenge.

Please, Mr. Free Speech Argument Maker, tell me where the government has interjected here and locked anyone on this thread away for something posted.

Really sad, that people ignore the real dangers of sexual abuse of children.

Really sad that people don't ignore this troll. Jerseymom, you are one of the best people on this site, but giving this wretched creature air time is what the organism feeds on. It thrives on getting responses in this echo chamber. The only way to kill it is not to feed it.

The Jersey Journal is a rag that shouldn't even have deigned to print this - I've read more incisive opinion pieces in the comment section on porn sites.

Since the Troll feeds on attention, let us not use hate as a weapon, but indifference. To paraphrase Silence of the Lambs: Do not approach the Troll. Do not touch the Troll. Pass the Troll nothing. If the Troll attempts to pass you something do not accept it.

The Troll is an oxygen thief, nothing more. Deprive it of oxygen and it's mouth will wither and die, like it's heart and brain did long ago...

+1. Nobody has said it better-

With the above in mind, how about we all try a little social experiment? For the next full week, NOBODY replies to ANY thread where Yvonne has posted. In other words, let that thread wither and die with Yvonne being the last poster. If the original subject (which is probably not where Yvonne left off on the old thread) is still of general interest and folks here have useful information to share then by all means start a similar new thread (apologies to Webmaster, but it's just for a week, OK?)

Anybody up for this suggestion?

I can't believe the intolerance of these people at the public pool... sacrificing 10% of children to sexual abuse by strangers is a small price to pay for men to use whatever bathroom they choose, call it the new "norm" http://dailysignal.com/2016/02/23/man ... ut-citing-gender-identity

So you conclude from what evidence that 10% of all children are molested by strangers in public bathrooms? You seem to have a hard time with statistics. That was 10% total of "molested children" were victimized by strangers.

Not sure what your point about teachers is, but kids are far more likely to be molested by a person in loco parentis such as a relative, teacher, coach or clergyman. It's just that simple, they have far more access and trust than somebody in a restroom. Better the restroom than jolly ole Coach Denny Hastert pulling up a chair to watch the boys shower.

Naw... we figure we are performing a public service helping you get your head out of your butt. Otherwise you will run amok through JC List threads searching for microaggressions like Captain Ahab searching for Moby Dick, the great white whale.

Actually the people who complain about "micro aggressions" are usually the people with their own head firmly planted in their ass. That's why it bothers you so much to have to try and wrap your head around a different perspective that is outside your comfort zone.

Hey, there is a nice civil thread going on about the Cicada. Then some arrogant dope contributes by calling people racist because we were using a product name called Chinese Fire Water?. and that person says he is still offended after being totally discredited. So we are supposed to excuse the terrible accusation? The guy never even apologized. That?s right liberals wouldn?t admit to an error in judgement, they would change it to facilitating a ?learning moment?
Thanks for your useful contributions though, incoherent as they read.

Don't worry- your opposition to learning anything new is very apparent. Keep that head firmly planted!

Uh oh... I think some one is trolling to be offended on JCList. If you know Terry, he has a special blend that he calls "Chinese Fire Water" behind the bar. The quotes were aimed at those of us who have ever tasted it... and "survived" Lighten up.

Terry's not Chinese, so it's still offensive.

High profile restaurants closing in JC is not good. Maybe some of you were rooting for Talde to close, but I view this as a bad thing.

I do agree that the closing of high profile restaurants is not a good thing. This would be the third high profile place to close (if indeed it is closing) all within a few months. Hopefully that is not the case.

As for the other stuff, I am not too worried. Plenty of good places still around, and enough options to try a different place or two every week and still have a fun, varied experience.

This would actually be the best time to eat from a place like this because everyone is being super picky about cleanliness.

Heard this on the news this morning. Didn't know the guy was from JC. Well, I guess we finally did something worthy of reporting on WNYC.

I listen to WNYC daily, and I am often pleasantly surprised at the decent amount of coverage drawn by JC.

About the drone, this is something that I have been meaning to ask in JCLIST and keep forgetting to do so: does anyone know why drones are now banned in LSP? I was just at Maritime Parc a few days ago and was surprised to see the huge electronic billboard at the park's entrance announcing the banning of drones at LSP.

It smacks of kowtowing to the hysteria of some. If the concern is devices up in the air could somehow pose a danger to people or aircrafts, what about kites? If the concern is noise (and, really, drones aren't that loud!) what about all the boomboxes and speakers that are cranked up by weekend patrons grilling in the park?

EDIT: I looked it up online. Turns out this is a blanket ban by the State of NJ on ALL state parks. Flying drones is otherwise allowed in JC city parks, as long as you stay clear of the airport 5-miles no-fly zones.

I think this fake service dog thing is more theory and fantasy than reality.

Someone has to be willing to go through the effort of outfitting their dog and/or obtaining the fake paperwork, pretending to be blind or visually impaired, running the risk they will encounter someone they know, and committing the crime of lying to a police officer if they get questioned and don't fess up.

I have a feeling there are very few if any cases of this actually happening.

Would the one in Jersey City have a special feature? Ferry service? Legal prostitution? or what?
