Bruce's balls have gotten bigger with age, PJ's balls appear to have waded into a cold pool.Free said:
I agree. But I don't think PJ has the balls to do the same.dignin said:
This draws huge attention to the cause. Acoustic set wouldn't have done shit, this is action...walking the talk.Jason P said:
It's an extremely dumb message with the options Bruce has at his disposal. How about doing a free 60 minute acoustic set at a rally to raise awareness?dignin said:
It's a huge message and I bet the people in power might be starting to get it. Actions have consequences.Jason P said:Should PJ cancel too? Who has tix?
Who would this be punishing? You think PJ or Bruce canceling a concert means jack squat to a Billy Ray fan?
Good for Bruce, this takes big balls.
This will cause minimal economic impact to the local economy but will cause major economic impact to his fans who are the one that most likely agree with Bruce's views.
Dumb.
This isn't dumb, it's admirable.0 -

my question is, with over 20% of americans identifying as atheist or agnostic, why are they just now trying to make the bible the state book? shouldn't that have happened 100 years ago when everyone was religious?"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

It was Southwest. I believe they are standing by their actions.
He and his family came here as refugees from Iraq several years ago. He was on the phone calling a family member when the woman heard him and reported him to the crew. Reprehensible."The stars are all connected to the brain."0 -
"I’m the father of a 21 year old daughter. There are lots of things I worry about. I worry about her being sexually assaulted, because that happens a lot. I worry about her being the victim of a drunk driver, because that happens a lot. I worry about her being the victim of gun violence, because lots of people die from gun-related injuries. Here’s what I do not worry about: I don’t worry about her being attacked in a restroom by a trans woman because (a) it has never happened; and (b) trans women are the most victimized group of people I’ve ever met, and the least likely to commit a crime of indecency in a restroom, because they are afraid of getting beat up when all they want to do is pee. And here is something else I don’t worry about: I don’t worry about my daughter being cruel and inhumane to trans men, women or kids, because my wife and I have raised her to have values and because she is a kind person. There are things to worry about. and then there are things people want you to worry about to conceal their agenda of discrimination and hate. Wake up."

so trans people will be the only ones other than real women using the women's restroom ?.....I doubt that, your opening a door for sexual predators and this guy will have to live with the actions and crimes committed by these sick fucks...and the victims will have no choice all because a group of liberals believe that a man in a dress identifies himself as a woman is harmless.....it seems to me that any man who wears a dress and make-up in public is already battling with his own issues, not all are violent I'm sure but if you can make a case against concealed carry or even open carry laws but find it O.K. to open the door for men to use the women's public restrooms your catering to your own agenda and not that of society as a whole

Great interview with Hank that expresses what some us feel in NC. I agree it is the artist's choice to make the decision to boycott or not. I respect what PJ did.

I'm still amazed that people let politicians create problems that don't exist so they can solve them with solutions meant to do something else entirely really.
With so many real issues to work...why make shit up?
And the republican governor that take about abuse of federal government powers....and then in turn does the same thing to cities that pass their own laws is so hypocritical.hippiemom = goodness0 -

The times I have heard of molestation or other sexual assualt done to minors has been man on boy in the mens rooms.
How many cases of sexual assualt have ben reported that the perpatrators is a trans person?

Your Bigotry here is known and accepted, but I won't let it ride silently.
Linking gay and transgender people with predators and pedophiles is the oldest, most disgusting trick in the "dumbass bigot playbook".
