Forget it, Red.
if you were asking about the Constitutionality of such a law I would say it is not.

Okay.
Also a moot point since Dallas has agreed to play the Anthem which is NBA policy.

Quote
On Tuesday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was asked about a new abortion law in the state that bans the procedure even for cases of rape or incest. His response was a doozy.

"Let's make something very clear: Rape is a crime," Abbott said. "And Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off the streets."

Oh really! You are going to "eliminate" all rape?

"Wait. Governor Abbott had a solution to end all RAPE and he sat on it until now?" tweeted state Rep. Gene Wu, a Democrat. "Does it involve horse de-wormer?"

The Star Spangled Banner Protection Act goes into effect today in Texas

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will face substantial fines if he refuses to have the national anthem played at Dallas home games.

Bullshit.

But should I be hung for laughing at a red-neck joke, or a dumb-blonde joke? Or dating a dumb blonde?

Is there a statute of limitations for behavior decades ago?

I think that's the woke line most reasonable people start to balk at.


I think the counterpoint is that woke,  in the main,  is not some humorless lockstep of overreaction.   I think that's why misusing the term is perceived as stereotyping.   Sometimes woke does just mean aware,  and knowledgeable of why some minorities joined the footrace carrying twenty pound weights in each hand.   It simply means understanding that all effects of discrimination don't vanish when,  on the sixth lap,  they're permitted to drop the weights.

But how is that different than "sometimes conservative just means--------" or "sometimes liberal just means------"?

The problemthat many of us have with the woke is the proselytizing nature of the constituency.
The issue YOU have with woke is people pointing out your racism, Forrest.

The zealotry that is used to critique the use of pronouns or the reading "Lolita" or watching a Woody Allen movie is entirely off-putting, heavy-handed, and demonstrates the exact same intolerance that the wokies preach others represent.

I will point you to your thumbs up regarding banks's Hitler post, hypocrite. Let me know when you get sent to a re-education camp. I'll stand up for you then. Otherwise you are just bitching about having your conduct pointed out, and your being held accountable for it.

No. You just call anyone who disagrees with you a racist, Kuntzler.

Making a bunch of Texas rapists impotent through bad medical advice is an interesting policy choice but Abbots track record of not being able to keep the lights on in Texas or the fence on the border standing does not give him a track record that points to success.

It is far more likely that he has no plan for this or anything else and is making it up as he goes along.

No Forrest. Just people like you. You know, actual racists.

We all understand how lawyers weaponize language to lie and distort reality, but your personal smear campaign has gotten old.

It's very much like that same, lazy tired old move you keep trying in the bedroom that your wife keeps ignoring.

Try something new, because that one doesn't work, Kuntzler.

Your creative seed has dried up.
