That happens to all of us. The best people are able to acknowledge that and recognise that we can always learn something.
I hope your week is great.

This is amazing. I don't know if I've ever seen someone on this site bring about a softening of a stance.

Incredible.

I've never seen someone get through to another person like that. Changing someone's perspective or opinion is the hardest thing to do.

reply
Shawna to RawRsaurus 2012/09/19 19:12:44

It can't be done unless the person already has it in him. All I did was offer information that was not previously known. The good heart belongs to him. :)

Nope, but a person who is unstable enough to dress up as the opposite sex is not fit to serve food.

Obviously you don't even know what this is about. This is not about a cross dresser but a transgender. That is someone that has had surgical procedures to change their sex. Try getting some education before getting into adult conversations

And again, that is the sign of an unstable person, even more the reason to avoid them

It didn't.

Correct me if I am wrong but do I still live in a free society? Am I allowed to think for myself as opposed to being forced into thinking a way that I am not comfortable with?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but others have the right to comment on your opinion; we still live in a free society right? As for thinking for yourself; sure, you have the right to your ignorant thoughts. Can't fathom why someone would be so uptight by an waiter/waitress who happens to be transgender.

reply
Chris -... to *Mahoga... 2012/04/30 21:45:01

I did not one time say you could not make a comment Latrice. I support your right to do so!

Thank you for the thinly veiled insult but I still think you are a wonderful person!

And like you a transgender has the same rights. To work, to live to do as they plaeses long as they don't break the law. If you are uncomfortable then you have the right to leave any establishment

Sorry making the choice to dress as the opposite sex is not a protected right. You want to be an idiot and dress and act as the opposite sex, well be prepared to be shunned.

Shame people don't shun you for ignorance. Really try reading and comprehending what the thread is about. it ias not about cross dresser. And I think thou does't protest to much. maybe you have desires?

How do you sleep at night knowing you've got a craptastic personality?

reply
Chris -... to Headhun... 2012/04/30 21:45:58

You are 100% correct! I do not want to take away any of their human rights and I will keep my right to choose.

See how happy everyone can be?

The left does not believe in a free society, nor are they very tolerant. You better toe the line, or you will be exterminated. See how the left is making us like the mid to late 1930's Germany.

Oh shut it; you're so dramatically inane, that is hilarious. How about toting the line and growing a brain oh dimwitted one?

"The left does not believe in a free society, nor are they very tolerant."

Would you decline service from a transgender person?

Put a sock in it. The only people here who are inane, are those who support and encourage people to play the part of the opposite gender. Playing the part of the opposite sex is a learned behavior, and it is people like you who encourage it.
And yes the left does not believe in a free society, nor are they tolerant as you just proved

"And yes the left does not believe in a free society, nor are they tolerant as you just proved"

No, you just proved me right by this comment of yours.

"The only people here who are inane, are those who support and encourage people to play the part of the opposite gender. Playing the part of the opposite sex is a learned behavior, and it is people like you who encourage it."

You must be really slow at thinking.

A free society allows people to live. You have no clue what a free society is. You want to start your own little form of sharia

reply
Chris -... to John James 2012/04/30 21:46:58

I see it heading that way. Groupthink is the rule of the day in this society and you better be tolerant of what they say to be tolerant of otherwise there is no toleration for you!
