It is pretty full and getting more crowded.  Pits are packed solid. I am not a big AIC fan. Will probably skip them Sunday.

Well if you didn't like them before the lead singer died I'd hardly expect you to like them now.

Would you have preferred Kravitz?

This is like so 10 hours ago lol. Yes pretty cool. I know some will be pissed because prior to the shows many said "why would Axl sing anything from VR or Slash, that isn't GNR and CD is".

I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it, but I would be surprised. I think it would be a good sign though if Axl was willing to sing a VR track or two. Still would rather hear Messages though. That song never really got noticed by the public. If they broke thst out people would probably think it's a new GNR song and I'd imagine it would be well received. Would be sort of a nice tribute to Scott too if they wanted to go in that direction.

Actually that's exactly what it does. Society gets to choose what is acceptable otherwise there would be no laws. For example killing someone could be completely comfortable for someone. Does that mean they can do it when they want to?

Bad example, killing someone singles out a specific person and does a bit more than just "hurt their feelings". James' niece necking with another girl has zero real impact on him.

Or in a more relevant comparison a perv can go into a woman's bathroom and claim to identify as a woman and that's okay as long as they don't assault someone?

Lesbians can do that today... what's the difference?

It's fine to make the women uncomfortable in that case to protect the small amount of transgender people?  It's not ok to make a transgender person uncomfortable by giving them a separate bathroom to use but it's okay to make everyone else uncomfortable so they aren't?

It's not about protecting a specific group, it's about not forcing ones own morality upon the rest of society. What I'm saying is that I don't necessarily care any more or less about transgenders than I do about other people, and I don't care if either of those get offended. But neither should be protected from being offended by the law because that would limit everyones freedom of expression. Society's norms change over time because we have the freedom to challenge the status quo, and that's a good thing, and I will argue in favor of it every single time.
