California to fine stores that don't have a 'gender neutral' kids toy section

I'm fine with gender neutral toys, clothing, whatever. I also think that telling stores they must stock them or else is incredibly stupid.

 

just call the sections

with penis

with vagina

 

I agree, but the fact is that many of the declines in America today are also present in much of the rest of the world. Many of those we think might want to attack us are also dealing with internal dysfunction.
California- is modeling the new trend of incompetence and stupidity, has been for a long time- doesn't seem to learn from the consequences of its own blind decision-making process.

Incompetence in government can only exist, in a democracy, when the citizens continue to tolerate it. From the psychological side, that tolerance comes from weak character values in the citizens. Mainly the level of dependence on government; most people will trade a little freedom for the promise of some kind of benefit- but when that happens over and over you trade freedom off for promises that aren't kept, and at every step, you become more dependent on the promise. These are the tools of corruption, of course- not of honorable leadership. But humans are gullible; the way to counter this is to support stronger people and stronger values. Many parallels can be drawn, such as the decline in the nuclear family which imprints children with stronger values- and the broken homes that impair that ability. That matches up with declines in morals, in personal control over themselves- and the undesirable behaviors from crime and violence to drugs and suicides.

Truly strong people are generally happy people, they are honest and contribute to society. Weak people are a mix. Some grab external power to control others, which allows them to ease the fears of their own weakness. Others bow and scrape trying to get survive. Thus weakness produces both sheep and wolves, and a dysfunctional society. Everybody is unhappy one way or another.

We need to promote real strength in our people. Government can't give that away- but it can take it away, and that must stop.
It can lead with it and promote it, and that is their inherent duty, not it's not being met.

California is destroying it's strong.... and rewarding it's weak. When it reached the tipping point where the wolves could use that to control the state government, the downhill trend became self-perpetuating.

If you ever worked with addictions, there is a lesson to be learned. All the proof and good advice you might give an addict will not cure them. But what often does is a catastrophic crash, something that destroys everything they thought they knew, and they have to rebuild basic values. The phenomenon is also known as "hitting bottom". If it doesn't kill them, it opens a door to re-programming, and real change in thinking. I've seen some really sharp people come out of that condition. Unfortunately, they have to crash to be able to learn. I think this will happen to California. Perhaps, after the crash, they will learn. If not, they will get to repeat the lesson over and over until they do.

 

What is a gender neutral toy? Would that be like a GI JOE action figure with a pocketbook instead of gun?

 

But California can already; if it's the wrong kind of pork.

They do anyway. Every store on earth with toys has ones that are gender neutral

 

anti-animal cruelty laws? is that what upsets the right?

 

After reading this thread I looked around, no difference at all really! But I'm sure ol Grusom and tax men will find some way to suck-A-buck out retail outlets...

 

What they want is a section for people for which these things don't matter.

 

I was thinking about how this law will get enforced. Will Newsom create a new agency staffed with people and vehicles to drive around and inspect stores every week?

 

Job creation, and another excuse to raise taxes, you sir should run for Gov

 

I don't know about that. There may be some that don't.

 

There’s far too many toys that are neutral for that.
