You have shown obvious bias in this discussion.

The problem is that government agencies are applying crimes committed by transgenders to heterosexuals, skewing the statistics to ENABLE those of you who believe penises belong in the girls room.
You get off the hook – blaming straight men for crimes of perversion being committed by the transgenders whose presence you assure us - on falsified statistics - is benign.
Transgenders are a minuscule part of the community, yet already these perverted freak shows are creating a statistical nightmare for their victims. But government agencies, aided by unsuspecting folks like yourself who just go along repeating the dummied-up crime stats, are skewing the statistics by laying the brutality and impropriety of transgenders on the NORMAL community.
My question for you is this: who told you that we normal people must accommodate every freak show, perv and sicko that comes down the road? It is beyond obvious at this point that transgenders are brutal bullies who beat up women and children, and/or sexually inappropriate exhibitionists who interfere with other people's legitimate privacy rights.
On what possible logic do you base the demand that we accommodate freak shows in our public spaces? It is you who have decided to label anyone who raises his or her hand and requests the label, "transgender." And what we have learned about this nebulous group is that it's a freak show. Why don't you roll up the circus tent and stop forcing this freak show on the innocent in our society? What streak of deformed nature has you clamoring for **** in girls' lockers, son?
In all seriousness, please explain this. How does the argument that trans people should be allowed to use the facilities that match their gender (not physical sex) "erases boundaries" ? What would you suggest as a litmus test to determine who is for real and who is doing sexual mischief in their name?

according to several economists the increase is due to the lower price in gas. They have linked the price of gas to the amount and the way that people drive. Basically, when gas is cheap people drive more and some people drive more aggressivily.kfools » 22 Aug 2016 10:30 am » wrote: Are we sure the cause is the increase in pot use?

Since the discussion seemed to be about bathrooms and showers in general - I addressed all laws. I have no problem limiting this to the Obama extention of title 9 in schools. This would effect a much smaller number of women. Are adults other than teacher allowed into the student locker rooms or showers? Would an adult woman be allowed to just walk into a school girls locker room?Are adults students at elementary, middle or high schools? I would think there we are limiting ourselves to students.

Anderegg, Prall, Harold, and Schneider, 2010
Anderegg et al., in a 2010 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), reviewed publication and citation data for 1,372 climate researchers, based on authorship of scientific assessment reports and membership on multisignatory statements about anthropogenic climate change. The number of climate-relevant publications authored or coauthored by each researcher was used to define their 'expertise', and the number of citations for each of the researcher's four highest-cited papers was used to define their 'prominence'. Removing researchers who had authored less than 20 climate publications reduced the database to 908 researchers but did not materially alter the results. The authors of the paper say that their database of researchers "is not comprehensive nor designed to be representative of the entire climate science community," but say that since they drew the researchers from the most high-profile reports and public statements, it is likely that it represents the "strongest and most credentialed" researchers both 'convinced by the evidence' (CE) and 'unconvinced by the evidence' (UE) on the tenets of anthropogenic climate change.[
17] [
18]
Anderegg et al. drew the following two conclusions: The methodology of the Anderegg et al. study was challenged in PNAS by Lawrence Bodenstein for "treat[ing] publication metrics as a surrogate for expertise". He would expect the much larger side of the climate change controversy to excel in certain publication metrics as they "continue to cite each other's work in an upward spiral of self-affirmation".[
19] Anderegg et al. replied that Bodenstein "raises many speculative points without offering data" and that his comment "misunderstands our study's framing and stands in direct contrast to two prominent conclusions in the paper.[
20]
Another criticism of the Anderegg et al. study was that dividing the researchers into just two groups, "unconvinced" and "convinced," doesn't capture the nuances of scientific views. This "reinforces the pathological politicization of climate science," Roger Pielke Jr. wrote. Co-author Prall said that "It would be helpful to have lukewarm [as] a third category," but added that the paper provides a measure of the scientific prominence of researchers who identify with certain views.[
18]Farnsworth and Lichter, 2011
In an October 2011 paper published in the International Journal of Public Opinion Research, researchers from George Mason University
analyzed the results of a survey of 998 scientists working in academia, government, and industry. The scientists polled were members of the American Geophysical Union or the American Meteorological Society and listed in the 23rd edition of American Men and Women of Science, a biographical reference work on leading American scientists, and 489 returned completed questionnaires. Of those who replied, 97% agreed that global temperatures have risen over the past century. 84% agreed that "human-induced greenhouse warming is now occurring," 5% disagreed, and 12% didn't know.[
21][
22]
When asked "What do you think is the % probability of human-induced global warming raising global average temperatures by two degrees Celsius or more during the next 50 to 100 years?’’: 19% of respondents answered less than 50% probability, 56% said over 50%, and 26% didn't know.[
22]
When asked what they regard as "the likely effects of global climate change in the next 50 to 100 years," on a scale of 1 to 10, from Trivial to Catastrophic: 13% of respondents replied 1 to 3 (trivial/mild), 44% replied 4 to 7 (moderate), 41% replied 8 to 10 (severe/catastrophic), and 2% didn't know.[
22]
Lefsrud and Meyer, 2012
Lefsrud and Meyer surveyed members of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA), a professional association for the petroleum industry in Alberta. The aims of the study included examining the respondents' "legitimation of themselves as experts on 'the truth', and their attitudes towards regulatory measures."[
23] Writing later, the authors added, "we surveyed engineers and geologists because their professions dominate the oil industry and their views on climate change influence the positions taken by governments, think tanks and environmental groups."[
24]
The authors found that 99.4% agreed that the global climate is changing but that "the debate of the causes of climate change is particularly virulent among them." Analyzing their responses, the authors labelled 36% of respondents 'comply with Kyoto', as "they express the strong belief that climate change is happening, that it is not a normal cycle of nature, and humans are the main or central cause."[
23] 'Regulation activists' (10%) "diagnose climate change as being both human- and naturally caused, posing a moderate public risk, with only slight impact on their personal life." Skeptical of anthropogenic warming (sum 51%) they labelled 'nature is overwhelming' (24%), 'economic responsibility' (10%), and 'fatalists' (17%). Respondents giving these responses disagreed in various ways with mainstream scientific opinion on climate change, expressing views such as that climate change is 'natural', that its causes are unknown, that it is harmless, or that regulation such as that represented by Kyoto Protocol is in itself harmful.[
23]
They found that respondents that support regulation (46%) ('comply with Kyoto' and 'regulation activists') were "significantly more likely to be lower in the organizational hierarchy, younger, female, and working in government", while those that oppose regulation ('nature is overwhelming' and 'economic responsibility') were "significantly more likely to be more senior in their organizations, male, older, geoscientists, and work in the oil and gas industry".[
23] Discussing the study in 2013, the authors ask if such political divisions distract decision-makers from confronting the risk that climate change presents to businesses and the economy.[
24]
John Cook et al., 2013
Cook et al. examined 11,944 abstracts from the peer-reviewed scientific literature from 1991–2011 that matched the topics 'global climate change' or 'global warming'. They found that, while 66.4% of them expressed no position on anthropogenic global warming (AGW), of those that did, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are contributing to global warming. They also invited authors to rate their own papers and found that, while 35.5% rated their paper as expressing no position on AGW, 97.2% of the rest endorsed the consensus. In both cases the percentage of endorsements among papers expressing a position was marginally increasing over time. They concluded that the number of papers actually rejecting the consensus on AGW is a vanishingly small proportion of the published research.[
25]
In their discussion of the results in 2007, the authors said that the large proportion of abstracts that state no position on AGW is as expected in a consensus situation,[
26] adding that "the fundamental science of AGW is no longer controversial among the publishing science community and the remaining debate in the field has moved on to other topics."[
25]
In Science & Education in August 2013 David Legates and three coauthors reviewed the corpus used by Cook et al. In their assessment, "inspection of a claim by Cook et al. (Environ Res Lett 8:024024, 2013) of 97.1% consensus, heavily relied upon by Bedford and Cook, shows just 0.3% endorsement of the standard definition of consensus: that most warming since 1950 is anthropogenic."
However, as the paper took issue in the definition of consensus, the definition of consensus was split into several levels: In the end, of all the abstracts that took a position on the subject, 22.97% and 72.50% were found to take an explicit but unquantified endorsement position or an implicit endorsement position, respectively. The 0.3% figure represents abstracts taking a position of "Actually endorsing the standard definition" of all the abstracts (1.02% of all position-taking abstracts), where the "standard definition" was juxtaposed with an "unquantified definition" drawn from the 2013 Cook et al. paper as follows:
The unquantified definition: "The consensus position that humans are causing global warming"The standard definition: As stated in their introduction, that "human activity is very likely causing most of the current warming (anthropogenic global warming, or AGW)"
Criticism was also made to the "arbitrary" exclusion of non-position-taking abstracts as well as other issues of definitions. [
27]
Craig Idso, Nicola Scafetta, Nir J. Shaviv and Nils-Axel Mörner, who question the consensus, were cited in a Wall Street Journal article by Joseph Bast and [url=javascript:void(0)]Roy Spencer[/url] disputing the 97% figure, as climate scientists who assert that Cook misrepresented their work.[
28]
Climate economist Richard Tol has also been a persistent critic of the Cook et al. paper, arguing that the authors "used an unrepresentative sample, left out much useful data, used biased observers who disagreed with the authors of the papers they were classifying nearly two-thirds of the time, and collected and analysed the data in such a way as to allow the authors to adjust their preliminary conclusions as they went along".[
29] Cook et al. replied to Tol's criticisms, pointing out that "the 97% consensus has passed peer-review, while Tol's criticisms have not". [
30]
A new paper[
31] by Rasmus E. Benestad, Dana Nuccitelli, Stephan Lewandowsky, Katharine Hayhoe, Hans Olav Hygen, Rob van Dorland, and John Cook examined the quality of the 3% of peer-reviewed papers discovered by this work to reject the consensus view. They discovered that "replication reveals a number of methodological flaws, and a pattern of common mistakes emerges that is not visible when looking at single isolated cases".
Powell, 2013
James L. Powell, a former member of the National Science Board and current executive director of the National Physical Science Consortium,
analyzed published research on global warming and climate change between 1991 and 2012 and found that of the 13,950 articles in peer-reviewed journals, only 24 rejected anthropogenic global warming.[
32] This was a follow-up to an analysis looking at 2,258 peer-reviewed articles published between November 2012 and December 2013 revealed that only one of the 9,136 authors rejected anthropogenic global warming.[
33]
So which are the two student papers and which the opinion piece? Looks like a lot of surveys of scientists and surveys of papers to me. Cooks is not the best - but he was not alone writing it.
I will also ask you the same question that I asked Cannon - does a consensus or a lack of consensus change the science? There were times when the majority of scientist did not believe in things we now take as gospel: plate techtonics, the Earth revolving around the Sun, that viruses and bacteria cause disease etc.

No one knows the deal with the die off. Velakovsky's Worlds In Collision Link theorizes that as recently as 3500-4500 years ago, ANOTHER die off was caused by a near collision with a comet. Velikovsky's thesis is that the fallout from that comet's tail, along with the earth flipping on its axis, caused the die off. It is undisputed that the poles have flipped on numerous occasions, and it would take a leap of faith to doubt that something that massive would cause extinctions.
What all scientists, historians, archaeologists and dog sled operators agree to is this: Wooly Mammoths half again the size of modern elephants have been found so quickly and deeply frozen as to leave their flesh still edible, notwithstanding they died ungutted and their bowels, like yours, work by reverse osmosis.

Global warming is a political movement, not a scientific theory. If it is a scientific theory, tell me the names of some scientists who openly propound it - and share their work - inluding some videos of them explaining this urgent news to humankind. If it's so existentially important that we need cheating clerks and circus barkers playing sleazy games to save the planet, WHERE THE **** ARE THE SCIENTISTS?
Every peer reviewed research paper has an abstract. Show me an abstract written by a physicist or a meteorologist or a climate scientist - not a podiatrist or a dental hygeinist - which states that the earth is warming, CO2 is a primary cause in that warming, and humankind are a primary - or even significant - driver of that.
