    According to some reports, even the governor's staff was taken by surprise as they wanted to nominate someone who would not run for the office. Why a 62 year old non-political person who works on services for blind people, who lives in Lexington, SC, wants to uproot a family to be a politician...

    Anyone choosing to be a politician is someone I can't relate to.

    Well, that's what stupid politicians and courts can argue about- and of course that will change over the years to some degree. Certainly won't be solved by any of us and I'm certainly going to always come down on the side of gay people, trans people, etc having equal rights. That's how I am built.

    My last post on this nutty subject. I didn't misread the post. You keep trying to "splain" everyone's post and that's not going to work well. Donald Trump was president when the Covid pandemic started. If people want to "pin" it on him, that's certainly fine, especially someone like Trump...

    I posted that qualifications aren't an issue- and neither is "worthy" - all irrelevant. There is no "worthy" requirement or issue. It's not even a goal. It's a made up qualification. Totally subjective issues. People aren't elected who are "worthy." people are elected because mostly they...

    no shock to anyone that we disagree on these issues. My repeated disclaimer- I detested Hillary Clinton - but I also detest Donald Trump.

    That was the issue on my Delta flight coming back from Boston. There is a shortage of qualified pilots in the entire industry.

    You think we should expect you to work around your natural tendency to be heterosexual? Or, do you only think gay people should have to do that?

    Respectfully, I don't think anyone gives a damn what one individual believes- (what you believe about it or what I believe about it). That's really not the issue. The issue is the law and making sure trans adults have all the protections of the law, and freedom and liberty to live their lives...

    When I worked at a large insurance company in the late 90s, I had a coworker that was promoted to a manager role. I didn't know him well. He seemed competent and friendly to me I do not believe I ever even had a conversation with him that lasted more than 15 seconds because there was no reason...

    ok. Well, at least you realize that our personal preferences are only our own preferences and shouldn't govern anyone else's life or choices. None of that bothers me in the least. Oh, I guess maybe it use to before I knew people impacted by those issues. But it hasn't bohered me for years.

    Obviously, not all women can get pregnant. However, I consider someone who lives their life as a man and can very well look very much like a man to be a man to me. Especially when they personally request of me to be seen that way. So, I act accordingly out of respect and because I find it odd...

    I flew to Boston through Newark a few weeks ago and back through Orlando and Atlanta. Faced a delay and rescheduled flight but the flights themselves were good with everyone associated with the airline friendly and professional. No issues at the airport. Security lines were quick. Even got...

    don't have to like what? Not to be a pest but most of us don't like about a hundred things a day that we ourselves do, not counting others. I respect your answer but I answered to let the poster know the nuance that was going on in the situation he posted about.

    Equity does NOT mean equity of outcomes. That doesn't even make sense. Equity means providing individuals with resources and support based on their particular circumstances, rather than treating everyone identically. The previous company I worked for had a program designed specifically for...
