The parallels are incredible, but so far it appears it was initiated by a bully, and the authorities swallowed the bait.

To my mind that is far worse than the clock case. If all the details prove to be true. A 12 yo held incommunicado for three days? Even if he had a bomb that would be very wrong. I'm hoping that at least some aspects of this story are untrue.

Sounds like the bully kid should be thrown in Juvie for a false report.

And yet again, there's a "bomb scare", but no evacuation, no bomb squad, no proper response to a real bomb threat whatsoever. Just arrest the kid and throw him in jail (juvie).

I just Googled the kid's name. The story is being covered in Britain, India, Oz, and some other places. No links to any US or Canadian stories at all. The story in the London Telegraph is that the police have a very different story from the family's.

If some one would only ask the Donald for a comment....

My prediction:

"Look, I love kids, I had some of my own. But Muslims have to learn to not provoke Americans. I mean, if a guy came at me with a knife, I could react, right? That's not wrong, that's smart, and we should all be smart."

You may rest assured that people filing false reports are welcomed by prosecutors with open arms. Ad Hominem Perjury is one of the many tools they routinely use, and it is rare indeed when someone who uses the Justice System as an instrument of malice is taken to task for doing so.

The fact that American Football players are treated as heroes is but an example of how we just love bullies.

Are they as much of a hero as Caitlyn?
I don't think I've ever heard of a football player being given woman of the year.

I guess you're right.

Actually, though I don't give a rat's ass who sleeps with whom among consenting adults, I base gender on biology. If a tissue sample shows a pair of Xs, it's female, with one X and one Y it's male (odd numbers of either are not counted in this discussion).

If someone wants to self identify and live as a gender that was not apparent at birth, fine. If they want to claim that they ARE said gender, not so good.

Men and women have equal rights and responsibilities (in general), which is all well and good. They are not, however, THE SAME, and are not entirely interchangeable.

For example, the whole "pregnant man" thing is beyond absurd. Marveling that someone who is biologically female could POSSIBLY give birth is an exercise in stupidity.

That Bruce Jenner wants to be 'Caitlin' his option. Even with surgery, he will be a faux female at best. Some male-specific issues will still be manifest, and some female-specific issues will not.

Biologically, gender is not a matter of FEEELINGS, WHOA WHOA WHOA FEEELINGS...

Why are odd numbers not counted?

Brain chemistry is most emphatically involved in physiology, isn't it?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I should have said "peculiar permutations" of the relevant chromosomes. I referred to 'odd' in the sense of 'nonstandard.'

Brain chemistry is related to what one finds attractive. If you have someone in a permanent vegetative state, referring to the body as 'male' or 'female' has nothing to do with how they may or may not have seen themselves when cognizant.

I have known rather a few people who assumed a role common to the other gender, some of whom made physiological modifications to accommodate this role, and am fine with their decision. As long as they don't give me grief for who and what I am, I can't see why I might give them grief for who and what they are.

If I was on the market, I would have no interest whatsoever in someone who was biologically male. Nothing personal.
