Probably safer in the south than they are in Londonistan

Thanks for caring about gay people just precisely enough to use us as a way to beat up on another unpopular minority group. I know that so many of us appreciate it!

How is 1/3 of the world's population a minority?

[–]MachinaThatGoesBing 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Depends on where you're living. In England, the US, and most European countries, Muslim people are in the minority.

Have you been to London? It's very safe. Also, this warning is because legislation has changed to limit what people can do, no such legislation exists in the UK.

Limiting what people can do... More like preventing perverts from going into the women's restroom when they shouldn't. Soooo bad and awful. What is this world coming to?!

[–]Babirusa1 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

That limits what people can do. I may have misunderstood, but I don't think the law specifies perverts.

[–]jvnane -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

The law doesn't explicitly call out perverts, but that could still be a reason. Look at the repurcussions from Seattle and other places for opening up bathrooms and locker rooms for unrestricted use.

Man undresses in women's locker room

Man films women in restroom

I was being sarcastic, obviously this law has no effect on perverts whatsoever, it was hardly allowed anyway (as your cases show).

[–]jvnane 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hardly allowed?

No one was arrested in this case and police weren't called, even though the man returned a second time while young girls were changing for swim practice.

The second article is obviously illegal with or without the law, but the law does open up possible defenses for voyeurists. You can't say the law has no effect on perverts.

The thing is, men who legitimately identified as women and who looked like women and who went into a stall and pee sitting down, weren't being prosecuted before this law. If you identify as a woman, no one is going to protest. The law was unnecessary to begin with. Just use common sense people.

What is it about seeing brown people in public that scares you?

[–]h35grga -3ポイント-2ポイント  (2子コメント)

When the amount of them increases unchecked and some of them like blowing shit up, while many of the others are ok with it. I'm not a woman so I'm not afraid of being raped by them, but I'd be afraid of that too if I was a woman.

So just bog-standard racism then. How dull.

I don't want to get fucked by the rapefugees

Maybe you should try leaving your trailer park once in your life before judging places you've never been to. London is a lovely city.

[–]SoggyHamburger 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yup. Typical UK trying to pass off their much larger problems for a US one that is relatively unimportant and is a grey-area law in a random state.

No. Really. You're not.

Mississippi has the second highest murder rate, after Louisiana.

Louisiana has a higher murder rate than Haiti, Nigeria, or Mongolia.

Mississippi is a bit lower, closer to Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Afghanistan.

The states with the lowest murder rates are almost as low as the UK--Vermont and New Hampshire, but they're a little bit higher, closer to Bulgaria and Romania.

The US is murder and gun happy, man. The US South especially. When you're more likely to be murdered in Mississippi than Zimbabwe or Louisiana than Nigeria, you know things are Fucked with a capital "F."
