If the political profile of Target shoppers tilts to the left and then there are more toilet assaults in Target, what will we posit as a cause?

And of course the cause will be: the weather.
Maybe even global warming.
The media would say nothing, more likely.
But righties have no excuse but to be responsible to truth. Was it the POLICY? Or was it the CHANGE IN CLIENTELE? And was the latter, BECAUSE OF THE BOYCOTT?
Good points.
I tend to feel sorry for many of the people in the Target situation: it does appear that corporate is being led by the nose by some destructive lefty shepherds — but again they also employ a large corpus of people who don’t have any particular convictions about it. I can’t put my finger on a thou shalt not from the bible, with respect to ordinary marketplace transactions, that applies to the current situation with Target. A fellowship argument is ludicrously misplaced because that’s about church, or who you treat as church.
I have rarely shopped them, and yet. People’s preferences in retailers change according to what they want and what they think is fair to pay and what the retailers prove to have. So I might end up being a rebel here, but if I went in Target it most certainly would be with prayers, not for their destruction but for their sanity and their good. One might think I even got some ideas from Jesus Christ.
I would think that Target might be able to save face by ponying up the money to re-architect its own bathrooms, fitting rooms, etc. to avert the issue they fear, or say that they fear. And that would be a virtuous move from another standpoint, i.e. they are not promising “men’s” and “women’s” with their signs only to call that meaningless with their policies. If they are going to be all “enlightened” about gender neutrality, at least I ask them please don’t lie about it.
There will still be people who wish thunderation and damnation on them for acting like the world, but again when did the world ever promise to act like churches do?
I am curious how this only works toward schools, and not prisons or jails. It would seem that they’d also have to offer the right toilets for the right people. If you claimed transgender status in some jail and claimed to be a woman....they’d have to transfer you. Same for a federal prison.
Yet I see not a single suggestion of that....only to aim at schools by themselves.
I honestly don’t get your point about churches. I don’t see any connection with churches.
This is a national chain of stores forcing the young daughters of its customers to share bathroom space with grown men.
Why are you bringing the church into that? What does the church have to do with that?
It is ugly, evil, mean and/or retarded to force young girls to share bathrooms with grown men. And to do it under the guise of polictical correctness is ultra-ugly, ultra-evil, ultra-mean and/or ultra-retarded.
That’s it. End of story. No mention of church. I am not shopping at Target ever again. That’s it. End of story. No mention of whether or not I even go to church.
I know you mean well, and I know you are a long-time intelligent poster here in FR and we have agreed before, but I honestly don’t see what you are going on about here.
Target sucks. Period.
Snap judgments have a way of becoming unfastened and making the logical dress of those who use them, look ugly.
Target is forcing... nonsense. Target is making it possible for patrons to choose to. They already support the one at a time rest facility.
You will never ever go... period... when did the Lord ever call for this? Or is this self righteousness?
You left the “P” there.
It’s a consumers choice I am making. Nothing to do with the Lord. I feel you are coming close to using the Lord’s name in vain here. Not saying you are, just wondering if you are.
Anyway, for every innocent employee I hurt by not shopping at Target, I help an innocent employee at Wal-mart, where I now drive to, even though it’s a little farther, so I guess I’m helping innocent oil company refinery workers and innocent auto mechanics, too.
You invoke The Lord. I invoke Milton Friedman. I am free to choose.
And I am not trying to force my choice on any one else, or even influence anyone else.
I thought it was one of those illustrated P’s that got left being in a simple text transfer.
My mistake, promoting our resident to a President.
It won’t happen again.
I will take the most convenient option and pee on the left front tire of your truck or car, then run away fast before you kill me.
After all, it’s NOT FAIR that you should have a newer model than me.
To quote the Hildabeast; “ARF, ARF, ARF”.
To quote my father “you can’t play with the big dogs, if you piss like a puppy”.
Nice neologism! And fitting.
