It's kind of funny how bad both you and the author are at math. Total number of incidents =/= risk chance. The article doesn't mention risk of sex abuse in Catholic schools at all. Also, the article seems to have the number of Catholic students wrong by half, according to: http://php.democratandchronicle.com/RocDocs/catholicschools/ http://www.ncea.org/NCEA/Proclaim/Cat ... Catholic_School_Data.aspx The public school system in California has 6.7 million children in it. Of course there are going to be more incidents in a population so much larger. But how does the rate compare to Catholic schools? We don't know, because all we have is one sensationalized comment that it "could be 100 times worse in public schools."

Yvonne, are you in favor of banning Catholic priests from being around children? Because there's a much higher rate of Catholic priests molesting and raping children than there are transgender people committing the same acts. If you're not, then please just admit that you're full of crap. Catholic priests are a much greater danger to society than any transgender person but I have a feeling you have no issue with them using bathrooms that children might be in.

Target management is one of the more dysfunctional on the planet, from customer data theft to the ridiculous bathroom policy. They are running scared and backpedalling; I am just enjoying the show, wishing I went short TGT this April. I think the bathroom backlash is bigger than you and Target will ever admit.

I've found the key boxes online but the locks have to be bought directly from USPS it seems. Unfortunately, their website is useless for this and their phone line is also not helpful. Does anyone know how to get one of these things set up?

Why don't YOU hold a fundraiser for it? Why should the city be fundraising for a private school? If you are so heartbroken about this, why aren't YOU doing something about it? Why isn't the Catholic Church doing a fundraiser? Why aren't St Anthony alumni doing a fundraiser? Why does the city have to do it? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I bet if the city were doing a fundraiser for any private institution other than a Catholic-associated one you'd be losing your mind about Fulop wasting our time. I'm sick of you hypocrites.

I think you need to clarify how large your group is, and if you want a private room or not.

The problem is that a GoFundMe shouldn't be necessary. "We" already own the land as the public. We shouldn't have to buy it from ourselves to prevent the city from selling everything to rich developers.

In both of the cases you mention, the perpetrator was a man, dressed like a man. In neither case did the act have anything to do with transgendered people, or with bathrooms, and in both cases the offending person would be charged with a crime. The illegal acts that happened here were already illegal. Please explain to me how a bill banning trans people from bathrooms would have solved any of these problems? And don't give me this completely unproveable nonsense about "well the bill is letting people think they can do whatever!" Because neither article quotes the guy using transgender rights as a rationale. And that would also require us to pretend that there have never been peeping toms ever before. You're stretching so much you should join a gymnastic team.

Yes, among other, much worse things. The Orthodox Jews also took over the local school boards and completely defunded them, and diverted funding to bus their children to private Jewish schools. I can't imagine them taking over JC in the same way, but I wouldn't give them an inch after seeing what they've done to other towns.

That's funny. That's the same exact defense that Hillary Clinton used when she was being grilled about her email server. "I can't recall." And the same result was that the FBI said they don't believe she was intentionally misleading them. I remember how Republicans were so accepting of that. Interesting to see how you agree that Clinton shouldn't be charged.

Oh my god yes, the crossing guard at Monmouth and 7th does this too. I don't know why all these crossing guards think they need to direct traffic, they just cause a lot more traffic than if they let the stop signs take care of it. I guess just walking in the intersection when kids are crossing is too boring for them. He seems like a nice guy and isn't all that bad, but I'd prefer he just let traffic handle itself naturally.

As for the Detroit thing, it doesn't seem clear what happened there. It's not obvious it was fraud, and could have easily been poll station workers not properly storing ballot papers. Here's a more recent article on it that pretty clearly explains that it was most likely user error. In any case, this is an issue of the machine tally not matching the paper tally, which isn't a problem that voter ID would solve. http://www.freep.com/story/news/local ... ection-problems/95477456/ And I don't see how a net of 310 votes miscount means that somehow Trump won the popular vote.

The misinformation you buy into is insane. What Trump did is the same thing that Bush1/2 did, which is to stop funding any organization that even talks about abortions. Federal money does not fund abortion anything, and hasn't for a long time. This is the same crap that Republicans pull with Planned Parenthood. Even though PP does not spend any federal money on abortions, the mere fact that they do abortions in some locations means Republicans want to defund their cancer screenings and parental counseling. What Trump has done is not to defund foreign abortion counseling. He has defunded any organization that provides any services at all if they so much as even mention abortion, even if they are primarily focused on preventative care. And strangely enough, a 2011 study at Stanford found that whenever this funding is cut, unplanned pregnancies and abortions in countries where those NGO's were providing services RISE.

Tell yourself whatever imaginary facts you need to make yourself feel better. I don't know why it's so hard for Trump supporters to just accept that the Northeast corridor is overwhelmingly liberal and that Trump has generally low approval ratings. It is what it is. And while we all argue with reality-defying nimwits here, Trump is still lying about millions of fraudulent votes costing him the popular vote. I know it's because his fragile ego can't handle that he lost, but I'm worried that Republicans will use this fantasy to push even more voter suppression laws. We also got a laughable ACA "replacement" plan which is just "states can keep it if they want or not whatever lol guys." And of course, as his very first executive action he cancelled an FHA loan rate reduction which would have saved a bunch of money for a bunch of people, including me personally.
