My wife and I went to opening night last week for the Dierks Bentley Concert. In a break before Dierks took the stage I went to use the bathroom. The line for the men's room was basically a walk right in, where as the ladies line was all the way up the stairs and into the concourse! In the past, women have walked in with a boyfriend and used one of the stalls, which with urinals right there, is a little tough. For the most part,I didn't hear vulgar comments. Now this concert, there were 2 PNC workers standing at the entrance, I'm guessing to make sure women didn't do this. What would have happened if a women pulled the gender issue to get the job done quicker,lol?

I was there and saw some women in the men's room. Think part of the reason not many women do it there is because the plumbing sucks and the men's room are basically flooded with urine. Regardless, was an awesome show.

Bathroom issues still in the news while Venezuela is melting down (rioting, people eating animals from the street) with nothing in the news? Seems odd.....

The world has bigger problems than what bathroom someone has to drop a duece in.

Venezuela is spiraling down into civil war. It is gonna get much uglier down there before it gets better. But it is curious the lack of coverage by the major news sites.

We will not have equality in this world until urinals are installed in the stadium ladies rooms. Port-a-johns in the yellow lot should be co-ed as well. I hear they have co-ed ones in the blue lot with hand soap. Power to those who stand up to urinate!

there are separate port a johns for men and women in the yellow lot?? In the Blue Lot Port-a-Johns are for those too lazy to walk to the real bathrooms.
 
50 odd years ago JFK vowed to put a man on the moon and now Obama vows to to put a man in a women's bathroom.

We can build a statue of that pioneer who first crosses the threshold of the ladies room at HPSS right next to the one honoring the first college football game.
 
In the Scarlet lot, Porta-Johns are only for those too lazy to walk into the woods or pee over the guardrail.
 
Easy solution for the ladies, use one of these:

You don't even have to leave the concert for the restroom. That's what the big cup of soda is for.
 
Quite possibly. I think there are actually a couple brands out there.

I'm all about grabbing free giveaways at concerts, tradeshows and events, but wasn't too stoked when I got a "go girl"
 
They've been around forever. Used to be sold in the J.C. Whitney catalog as the "Lady J" - right alongside the "Trucker's Pal" (which was basically just a plastic jug with a slightly ergonomic shape).
 
In the WSJ, just not front page. Others seem reticent to report on problems in the socialist paradise.

Coverage from the NYT has been excellent.

There's always a lot of coverage about Israel, but yet I notice conservatives never mention the fact that Israel has free healthcare and that colleges there are nearly tuition free. Why is that? Why is Israel never condemned by the right, as its electorate is clearly full of lazy takers? Or Canada, the UK, Australia, and every Western European country? Could it be because that would be an actual equivalency instead of a false one?

Australia sucks. Israel sucks. UK sucks. Canada really sucks. Happy?

Israel's social policies are what they are. I don't think the argument is with the concept of government-subsidized (or rather, taxpayer subsidized) stuff, but rather with the manner in which it is funded. Among Israeli citizens, there isn't a great deal of income disparity. I've always viewed it as essentially Socialist.

It works for them because they can afford it. It wouldn't work for us because we throw money away on too many other things. The proper conservative argument against things like Obamacare isn't that it's "free gubmint healthcare". It's that the law itself is an administrative Greek tragedy and as such, is horrendously inefficient as a delivery mechanism. Done better, more cleanly, it would be fine.

And should be accompanied by a serious conversation about other government expenses that can be trimmed.

all joking aside... this thing is pandoras box. America continues to try to solve problems for the 1% and the rest of us are getting screwed

As long as the media can keep getting the country into arguments over stupid stuff like this, we will be too distracted to realize that at the end of the day both sides are getting screwed on more important issues.

They don't wish to scare the sheep. They might not ever come out of their safe space again. Double so if someone has written in chalk on a sidewalk.

And so it goes: the current Venezuela dictator has declared a 60 day "State Of Emergency" which will allow the military and "local committees" to control the distribution of food. I'm sure that this will be a totally democratic process.

Women have been using the men's room at rock concerts for the last 40 years. I've never met a guy yet who was bothered by it.

That's a nuanced and reasonable argument. Not the kind I've ever seen before though from the right on this topic. Whenever they mention socialism, they tie it up in dictatorship and not say, Sweden, nevermind Israel, who they will cite as a huge success on any non-economic ground.

To me it's not believing in it or not. If the right wing talking heads said, "Socialism is bad, because XYZ in Israel", everyone would take it more seriously than the Venezuela comments.

And credit to Mitt Romney on this subject, who recently compared a certain candidate's promise to retaliate against Jeff Bezos' business interests to Hugo Chavez.
