For anybody confused about why America is struggling a mechanic's approach is warranted. Mechanics do not look at odometers or kick tires on a malfunctioning car. Mechanics look under the hood. It is under neath the hood that mechanics find answers to what is wrong with the car. Under the hood lie the engine, the battery, the catalytic converter and everything else that really powers the vehicle.

A look underneath America's engine reveals her true problems. Sorry to burst your bubble folks, it is not Wall Street. Hell, I am sad to admit...it ain't even Washington. Not CDS, not filthy, whorish Fannie, not even her drunk, inbred cousin Freddie. The real problem is the fool's dream of equality. Equality can only make sense in the minds of the brain dead and for those who believe if they could just get enough government funding and basketball lessons they too could be Lebron James, while standing 5'8" and weighing 220 lbs.

Here I present the greatest evidence to America's downfall. This seemingly irrelevant and idiotic story shows you where our money, time and energy go. There simply are not enough hours in the day and when shit like this matters, let alone makes the front pages...you know you are fucked so bad and so deep you will soon be puking up foreskin.

In a twisted way, however, I am glad about this. I remember sitting through mind numbing propaganda flicks about that one girl who just had to be on the men's football/baseball/debate team, in high school. Rampant retarded reasoning about equality, a fair shot and other nebulous childish idolatry. Naturally, it came from the same people who encouraged us to go to college and major in stargazing and under water basket weaving. Big fucking surprise the place is a shambles.

I always laughed and asked my teachers: but why can't I play girls field hockey?

This always stumped them and brought out the stutters and fumbles. The "oh", the "well", the "oh well you see". Their inability to connect the dots and to comprehend that the positive discrimination pendulum is a swinging one. We joke about Big Swinging Dicks on Wall Street, but there's an ever darker side to that humor in today's environment.

This idiotic tale of a boy who needs to have the shit smacked out of him and told to stop being a fucking woos is garnering national attention for the same reasons that important issues are not.

We are too sensitive, too weak and have become too stupid to understand why those are serious problems. It has often been said that America will destroy itself from within. I see stories like this one as physical evidence of such predictions.

Every morning I wake up and find another reason for why lobotomy should be our primary domestic policy tool.

May all you whining bitches and equal opportunists choke on that giant dick you are trying to get normal people to swallow.

I'm going to start my own anti discrimination league. The fat chick at Starbuck's has been smiling at me again and my fragile psyche cannot endure the pain.

I agree with some aspects of your post, but this particular kid doesn't need to "have the shit smacked out of him and told to stop being a fucking woos". I am not saying this is the case here, because I do not know the complete schematics, but I it seems as though this boy has a gender issue which is out of his control.

Prenatal androgens present during fetal development cause sex characteristics to be expressed, but when at abnormal levels, they can impact the gender of an individual. Thus this boy here identifies himself with the woman gender, but clearly is of the male sex.

Simply telling this boy to act like a boy might solve the way he acts and dresses, but will not solve the real physiological situation at hand.

I understand there are cases where parents and kids act of for attention, but I don't think that is happening here, and jumping to such a harsh reaction is unfair.

@Midas , this cant be the No.1 reason of whats wrong with America, the feminization of men is something that has been happening for a while now and we can talk about that in detail.

On this story: Why was this news worthy in the first place? maybe because media is always scouring for sensational pieces. I am sure gender-confusion is not the No.1 threat for Americans.

(Monkey, 33

Why do you have a problem with a kid who clearly has transgender trying to enter the girl scouts? This has nothing to do with an equality, this is about creating accommodations for people/kids who have gender issues. Yeah we should smack around a kid as reponse to his confusion about his sexual identity. Just beat the gay out of him.

But I guess your rant is not against this boy per se, but the fact that all of a sudden this story is being covered? By what? A local news story and a fucking yahoo blog post? This pushed you over the edge?

How the fuck is this the watershed moment signaling the doom of America?

Every couple of fucking days I see a post by some homophobe or racist on WSO bitching and moaning and just plain whining about how great the "ol' days" were and how everything is turning to shit because some kid wants to join the girl scouts or some the fucking guy behind the counter at the local deli didn't understand his order what the fuck right speak English and totally fucking bullshit man!!

Maybe if you added some reasoning and background to your posts aside from strawman arguments against gender equality in sports (Seriously, wtf was that story trying to even prove?), you wouldn't come across as a such a fucking baby.

Also, ANT, you have the moral reasoning of an 8 year old on a playground.

Exactly...SB for you. As an FYI, everyone starts off as female in the womb. During the eighth week of gestation, the presence of a Y chromosome and a functional locus for the SRY gene product, also called the testes determining factor (TDF), determines if testicular development will occur.

You are right. I am a moron. An organization for young girls should allow a boy in because it would hurt his feelings otherwise.

I mean fuck all the girls who gain a benefit from this group. Fuck the fact that it is for GIRLS. Fuck the fact that at age 8 maybe this kid is just confused in general and not fully cognizant to understand everything.

Yeah, an 8 year old is sexually and gender confused.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
