The Teskiniec post highlights everything that’s wrong with the political discourse in the US right now (probably the world too). Everybody has an opinion about feminine hygiene products in boys bathrooms, whether they care or if it affects them or not. Save the people it actually affects, it’s not a real issue. But economic policy IS a real issue that affects all of us at almost every level. But it’s complex to talk about and it’s not fun or visceral unlike getting pissed about free tampons. It’s easier to have an opinion about tampons and politicians and the cable media 2ants us to talk about that because it gets eyeballs and prevents us from talking bout not sexy issues like monetary policy.

This leads to the culture shit and uninformed opinions and allows con artists like Trump or MAGA or Hannity or whoever to manipulate people s opinions.

How many people does putting tampons in bathrooms actually help though? We're talking about females who identify/transitioned into males, who aren't taking any medication that would prevent their period, and who rely on school for period products. I have no idea, but that's got to be a really low number, like 0.1% of the population who fits all that?
So instead of telling that maybe 1 student who would actually use the tampons in the boys bathroom to go to the counseling office or nurse instead, the answer is to put tampons everywhere.
Just seems like a huge waste of money to install and maintain dispensers when no one probably even needs it anyway. Especially starting in the 4th grade. If they were around when I was in high school I'm sure the game would be how many tampons can you tie to your friends backpack without them noticing. And they'd probably run out faster in the boys room than the girls. Just seems like a waste of money and a wrong area of focus when there's so many other things in education that deserve attention and when alternate solutions are available.

asking people to sacrifice their privacy isn't the answer either. If it helps even one kid feel "normal", then I'm all for it.

To me it just seems more like the coddling of our kids and not expecting anything from them. Some schools don't offer premium or catered lunches now because it would hurt the feelings of those on free school lunch and the Pizza Hut line doesn't qualify for free lunch, so now no kid gets Pizza Hut because it might hurt someone's feelings to watch someone else eat pizza. The amount that we hold the hands of kids is a little sad these days. We make regulations for an entire district so that 1 kid doesn't have to go to the nurse to ask for a tampon. It's part of life, I don't see it as doing any favors for kids when we coddle them so much. I had huge 1/2" thick glasses ever since I was in first grade. Should we have made every kid wear glasses so I didn't feel isolated? No, you learn to live with it and move on. It's not like anyone is saying deny necessities to any of these kids. Its the idea that there might maybe be one kid in the 11th grade who uses a tampon and prefers the male bathroom, so lets stock every bathroom from 4th grade on up with them instead of explaining to that one kid here's the situation, here's how we accommodate you and here's how you can help yourself in this situation.

You seem focused on the "1 kid" being the reason behind such a thing. It is really far beyond that.

When my kids were in elementary school and their lunch money ran out they got a PBJ sandwich. So anyone eating a PBJ got the scarlet letter of "poor" or whatever that day or days until their lunch money account got replenished. I exaggerate a bit but it was always a bit embarrassing for them when that happened.

But by taking the attitude that changes are made because it might hurt "someone's" feelings I think is a bit shallow. Changes are made because it benefits the group overall for whatever reason.

It reminds me of visiting my son in third or fourth grade at school and having lunch with him. We all get our lunch and sit at the table and literally 2-3 kids at our table weren't eating. I didn't think much about it at first but then about 5 minutes in this cart gets wheeled out and kids line up to buy bags of popcorn, potato chips, those sugar filled barrels of fake fruit drink, etc. It was the most pathetic thing I have ever seen for kids to push aside a decent nutritious lunch for garbage. And we came to find out that the PTA was the beneficiary of the funds from this bullshit. Luckily that only lasted a year or so. And the school was so full of kids that they only had about 15 minutes to grab lunch, sit, eat, clear out so the next group could come in. I think we ate lunch at like 1030 that day which was another surprise to me.

Imagine kids eating kale? The horrors! In a nation where approximately 42-46% of the population is considered obese.

Kale goes in the trash 95% of the time. Kids aren’t eating that.

I remember the Project 2025 doomsdayers posting Trump wants to eliminate free lunches in schools as a talking point…. Well free lunches ended today at my kids school. I guess they know Trump is going to win and just started that part early. 🤷🏻‍♂️

95% of the time? Did Alex Jones provide you that number?

Hey we got a new one! Welcome! And a bootyjudge fan!

Not new. I've been here. Do you have too much time on your hands? You really seem to enjoy trolling this thread and other liberal threads waaaaay too much.

Way too much time. But very fun! Watching liberals trying to defend to radical left liberals 4 pages of Tampon Tim’s bathroom policy.

You're doing more commenting than watching. I'm not seeing what's so funny about the points and opinions being made. At least they aren't making up numbers out of thin air. There's nothing radical about Tim Walz or Kamala Harris. So keep on fear mongering.

If it’s not radical to you then you are as far left as possible. Let me know where you’re moving in November, Canada or Europe? Have a great day!

Radical is just a buzz word someone like you uses to justify your problem with something you don't like, just like woke or cancel culture. You seem like you watch a lot of Fox News and Tucker Carlson.

All that is brought to you by your local liberal administrator. No Halloween, can’t offend poor kids that can’t afford a costume. No Columbus Day, offending the Indigenous. No hand Turkey Art either. Christmas! No way! It’s snowflakes and snow persons only! Way too many to offend. Valentines Day, uh oh…… unless it’s gay! No way! Show the Easter Bunny the way out…. He’s not welcome either. Did I miss any?

Spend all the money on gender identifying material and finding a way for every kid to use a tampon! That’s the liberal way!

Oh so tell us how much better you are….why these people shouldn’t walk the earth…..why Muslims should have to learn the Christian way in school while in the country that was founded on religious freedom. You are being extremely hypocritical and homophobic.

I hear you, but I’m not there. I really don’t care a whole lot about this issue, but I’d like to understand the budget/cost associated with it. Cause helping 1 kid sounds nice, but if it’s 1 kid the cost far outweighs the benefit. This is kinda my biggest issue with lots of people in the government, budgeting and being selective.

but the machine is permanent...it doesn't dissolve after the "one kid" graduates or changes schools.

Ummm no kidding. I am unsure how you completely missed the entire point. $ is finite.

Why are you even arguing against helping kids out. And hiding it behind some ”I don’t really care, b-b-but…”

Come on. Just accept being a good person and be happy kids are being helped out by Tim.

I just mean the overall cost benefit analysis...I mentioned 1 kid cause Hugh said if it helps 1 kid he's for it...I am not. You can have these available at the school office so access for all if it's about availability. As I said, I am generally for the idea, just not the execution where it makes such little sense.

On a lot of issues you can say you are for it if it helps people, but there is always a cost and far too often no one cares about that....hence the debt. And yes that would go for military spending as well.

To me it just seems more like the coddling of our kids and not expecting anything from them. Some schools don't offer premium or catered lunches now because it would hurt the feelings of those on free school lunch and the Pizza Hut line doesn't qualify for free lunch, so now no kid gets Pizza Hut because it might hurt someone's feelings to watch someone else eat pizza. The amount that we hold the hands of kids is a little sad these days. We make regulations for an entire district so that 1 kid doesn't have to go to the nurse to ask for a tampon. It's part of life, I don't see it as doing any favors for kids when we coddle them so much. I had huge 1/2" thick glasses ever since I was in first grade. Should we have made every kid wear glasses so I didn't feel isolated? No, you learn to live with it and move on. It's not like anyone is saying deny necessities to any of these kids. Its the idea that there might maybe be one kid in the 11th grade who uses a tampon and prefers the male bathroom, so lets stock every bathroom from 4th grade on up with them instead of explaining to that one kid here's the situation, here's how we accommodate you and here's how you can help yourself in this situation.

You seem focused on the "1 kid" being the reason behind such a thing. It is really far beyond that.

When my kids were in elementary school and their lunch money ran out they got a PBJ sandwich. So anyone eating a PBJ got the scarlet letter of "poor" or whatever that day or days until their lunch money account got replenished. I exaggerate a bit but it was always a bit embarrassing for them when that happened.

But by taking the attitude that changes are made because it might hurt "someone's" feelings I think is a bit shallow. Changes are made because it benefits the group overall for whatever reason.

It reminds me of visiting my son in third or fourth grade at school and having lunch with him. We all get our lunch and sit at the table and literally 2-3 kids at our table weren't eating. I didn't think much about it at first but then about 5 minutes in this cart gets wheeled out and kids line up to buy bags of popcorn, potato chips, those sugar filled barrels of fake fruit drink, etc. It was the most pathetic thing I have ever seen for kids to push aside a decent nutritious lunch for garbage. And we came to find out that the PTA was the beneficiary of the funds from this bullshit. Luckily that only lasted a year or so. And the school was so full of kids that they only had about 15 minutes to grab lunch, sit, eat, clear out so the next group could come in. I think we ate lunch at like 1030 that day which was another surprise to me.

Imagine kids eating kale? The horrors! In a nation where approximately 42-46% of the population is considered obese.

Kale goes in the trash 95% of the time. Kids aren’t eating that.

I remember the Project 2025 doomsdayers posting Trump wants to eliminate free lunches in schools as a talking point…. Well free lunches ended today at my kids school. I guess they know Trump is going to win and just started that part early. 🤷🏻‍♂️

95% of the time? Did Alex Jones provide you that number?

Hey we got a new one! Welcome! And a bootyjudge fan!

Not new. I've been here. Do you have too much time on your hands? You really seem to enjoy trolling this thread and other liberal threads waaaaay too much.

Way too much time. But very fun! Watching liberals trying to defend to radical left liberals 4 pages of Tampon Tim’s bathroom policy.

You're doing more commenting than watching. I'm not seeing what's so funny about the points and opinions being made. At least they aren't making up numbers out of thin air. There's nothing radical about Tim Walz or Kamala Harris. So keep on fear mongering.

If it’s not radical to you then you are as far left as possible. Let me know where you’re moving in November, Canada or Europe? Have a great day!

Radical is just a buzz word someone like you uses to justify your problem with something you don't like, just like woke or cancel culture. You seem like you watch a lot of Fox News and Tucker Carlson.

It's another murdoch inc dogwhistle created to wind up the QtRUmplican base.
Goes with woke, hunter, her emails, librards, marxists, socialists, commies, etc
They have no original thoughts or ideas when it comes to attempting to own the libs.

You act like there isn't a reason for that.

Why did Donald Trump kill the bipartisan border bill? Why does he prefer to not solve the problem at the border?

AMT has become the weird show. It used to be a great place to talk about current events. No more. I'm done with this place.

Is it worse to call someone "names" (someone who tells easily proven lies is, in fact, a liar - it's accurate and fully reasonable to call somebody such), or to post said lies on this forum?

The guideline I'm hung up on is sticking to the intent of the discussion, which is regarding who Harris was going to appoint as her VP. Now it's turned into this shit show of how radical Tim Walz's hygiene product policy was (which it wasn't). Maybe there should be a thread started just to bitch back and forth about that.

No, seriously Gern, I'm over it. I'm even seriously consider not renewing my PJ membership next time it comes due.

AMT and Other Music and sometimes The Porch are the main reasons I've maintained membership here. Since I joined the Steve Hoffman forums , I get plenty of interaction about music there (and they have a fully functioning ignore option) and I can always lurk Other Music, AET, and The Porch here without a membership. But unless these forums add an improved "Ignore" function that works properly, I don't have the time or patience to sift through the bullshit from the very few people whose only purpose for being here is to troll and/or "entertain themselves" (how weak is that!), and who dominate this site with their endless bating. If I were able to block those people, I would be happy to stay here. But these thread are saturated with ghosted images of the people I put on ignore and their comments show up anyway because y'all keep quoting them.

Sorry folks. You know I love a bunch of you, but I'm over it.

When someone posts they block people or ignore they don’t. I said this a few weeks ago. Sometimes it’s hard to express your views with those that differ from your own. That’s OK. Like you said there’s plenty of forums that only allow people that think the same and look to validate each other without opposition. Best of luck you Brian!
