You have got to be kidding. A bill passed in 2016 and repealed in 2017 is the best you have? And the story from a late-night TV show? What a wild concept, keep trans women (men) out of ladies' bathrooms.
| Quote: | North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper holds a news conference after the state General Assembly passed a repeal of HB2, also known as the “bathroom bill.”
North Carolina legislators on Thursday passed a bill that repeals the state’s controversial HB2, which had required residents to use the restroom that corresponds with the sex on their birth certificate.
The new bill, HB142, passed the Senate with a 70-48 vote.
HB2 — passed last year in response to a local ordinance in Charlotte that allowed transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice — drew fierce criticism across the country for setting restrictions on LGBTQ protections. |

Cleaned up? When pigs outnumber humans 30:1, you’d think they would actually need to clean up their shit. Not yet. Lagoons were banned 20 years ago. But…https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23003487/north-carolina-hog-pork-bacon-farms-environmental-racism-black-residents-pollution-meat-industry

Granted, NC has a hog waste problem, but so does every hog farm in the country. No easy answers, but NC's issue is in rural eastern NC where few have to experience the negative side of hog waste. As long as folks buy pork and bacon, there will be problems. No easy or practical solutions so far. Of course, Calif. is paying more for pork and buying less because of their new hog farm law. Good for the pigs, not so good for the consumer.
Now that all of you have dodged the initial issue - $20 min. wage in Calif, what is your opinion? Too chicken shit to respond? Maybe that should be "pig shit" |

I don't eat fast food so I don't have an opinion. A better question is why do you think you have a right to an opinion on California policies?
If you want more up to date North Carolina redneckville; here you go.

I posted that video earlier because if you would have watched to the very end the last thing he said was so appropriate. "At the end of the day we let everyone off the hook & we gave them free barbeque. Because what we did was kinda f#cked up. I mean, these people have to live in North Carolina, and that is stressful enough."

Hog shit. Techno is willing to overlook the control that “Big Pig” has over pig shit, because it keeps the barbecue cheap and the impacts are only on a few people. As my posts showed, mostly poor and black people.
I answered your chicken shit posting—but you don’t read. Yes, I am comfortable with charging corporations for the cost of their business practices, rather than transferring those costs to poor and suffering neighbors, taxpayers, or employees who must get food stamps to survive. Yes, I am comfortable about raising the minimum wage for California fast food workers because the cost of living—and the quality of life—is much higher in California. I don’t eat fast food—so I can still windsurf in my 76th year.
Please, please, please—stay in North Carolina, and keep brainwashing yourself. In California, we try to teach people to think for themselves. |

I've got a suggestion for all you Californicators. Why not take a vacation to Duplin County, NC, and take up skydiving ... without a parachute!
Hey, you never know, you could get lucky and land in a large pool outside a luxury motel ... |

Take a vacation to Duplin, NC? Really? That is like asking us to change our avatars to look like yours slogger. Slow & stupid. Um,... No thanks.
On a side note, it was your boyfriend who started this post.

When conservatives are out thought—a very low bar—they often threaten violence. Like Still water, nothing insightful or clever to say. |
