Where did they say who they were voting for instead?

Well, third-parties do have a place. If it's a close election and you piss people off, you could lose due to their protest votes.

They might vote for neither.

That's fair.

Democrats have been running the same candidate since the Clinton era.

We could use someone new.

Good reddit humor.

I wholeheartedly believe the vast majority of the hype surrounding sports is from gambling.

anyone was forced to use gender-neutral language.

I think you misunderstand. Citizens are allowed to use whatever language they want. This article is specifically referring to government documents.

I never said it was incorrect. The problem is forcing people to use 'they' when they'd rather use he or she.

I think the problem is that they were forced to use gender-neutral language in the first place.

Somehow I doubt that this is really the most effective use of her time.

Yeah, but that's the case with most politicians.

Do you have to be 18 to work there?

In the article:

Under U.S. labor law, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to work in meatpacking facilities because of the increased risk of injury from dangerous machines and chemicals. A 16-year-old Guatemalan boy was recently killed working in a poultry plant in Mississippi.

What do you mean? That he purposefully tried to conflate Arkansas government with US government?

No, he's just bad at arguing and expects other people to go along with it.

The majority of people in Arkansas support this. Saying that the majority of people in the US disagree doesn't matter because this policy doesn't apply to people outside of Arkansas.

You all know this, you're just upset at reality.

Looks like this issue stems from being forced to use gender-neutral language in government documents, but I'm not an expert on the situation.

No, you can still use they when referring to multiple people or those of unknown sex.

Might want to brush up on your English if this is news to you.

What opinions, exactly?

No, but I think it would have.

The majority of people in Arkansas supports policies like this.

Why?

Because not everyone believes that men and women should be referred to by whatever pronouns they choose.

Is this how you always react when faced with information you don't like?

Yeah, I never said it was right or wrong.

Just that it didn't affect me.
