Philly swimming pool kicks out black kids, "doesn't allow minorities"

Wait a minute, Rand Rover is a paralegal?

So if we point the two of you at each other, perhaps we will create a universe-destroying black hole.

Any way to control such a phenomenon, and possibly harvest usable energy from it?

I think we cross their streams to destroy evil interlopers from other message boards.

Wait. You said crossing the streams would be bad.

But how else are we going to defeat the Stay Puft Straw Man?

Yes, that could happen. I’m the anti-DtC because I can reason through a situation, consider alternative viewpoints, and withhold judgement until the facts are in.

I haven’t been a member of that pool club for very long, but I’ve seen shit that would turn you white!

That’s it. Maw, get the young ‘uns into the cellar! A storm’s a’brewin’!

I’m going to need a cite for that one.

No, no, he can. He just chooses not to.

For example, here, where your careful reasoning, consideration of alternative viewpoints, and withholding of judgment really shine through. And it’s great that you withheld your judgment until “the facts were in.”

Of course, you were totally, utterly wrong, mainly because you, erm, shot your mouth off before you bothered to check the relevant law in this case, but, hey! When Dio does that, it’s wrong because he’s chained to his ideology. When you do it, it’s because, um, it’s usually here that you run out of arguments and start profaning posters’ wives. It’s this politeness that just makes you, you. Don’t ever change, sweetie!

Nimble little minx.

Well, in this very thread I modified a rant based on input from the Dukester. That should show my good faith and reasonableness.

It’s a pretty sad reflection on the rules where “fuck you” isn’t allowed, but insulting someone’s wife is.

It’s also a pretty sad reflection on those of us who, despite seeing it a mile off, have allowed this stain to make the thread about him yet again.

I disagree. Rand’s original comment railed against those who believed that it IS illegal for private groups to descriminate based upon race. “Go take a civics course,” he stated or words to that effect.
But you can perfectly understand the law and still believe that it SHOULD BE illegal. There’s nothing contradictory or stupid about that opinion.

Great!

Maybe, next time, profaning my wife is off limits. Small steps!

For the record, nowhere in this thread have I said the club did anything illegal. I haven’t even said they’d be civilly liable.

Duke, I guess you missed the post where I said that that rant didn’t apply to anyone truly contemplating whether the pool is a PA or PC.

Villa, I can’t help it that I’m popular and people want to talk to me and about me.

Seeing as this is the entirety of your first post…

…I don’t exactly see anything there about “anyone truly contemplating whether the pool is a PA or a PC.” It was just patronizing, misguided ranting.
