ever heard of "Curves for Women" its a ladies only gym.  couldn't they just go there. even have the college pick up the tab instead of making an issue and making the rules bend for them .
You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you?  Pay your own bills for college, and then you'll have some idea of what the college should/should not provide to paying customers.

Think of it this way:  Why should the college pick up the tab for an off site gym when they can repurpose one of the many gyms of campus to serve the same needs, at no extra cost?

It's banning everyone else for those hours.  How is that better or fair?
I question your comprehension of the situation.  If that were the only gym on campus, I would agree with you.  Except it isn't the only gym, so no one is being barred from exercise.

lowing, did these women say they were uncomfortable around white men only?  Didn't think so.  Their grievance was about men in general, but you added race to the mix, changing it.  That hypothetical is not relevant to the discussion.
I didn't say they said it was about white men. I posed a hypothetical question to challenge your reasoning and it does not go unnoticed that you and the rest of the bf2s think tank will not answer it, because you can not answer it truthfully and still stay consistent with your argument.

Why pose hypothetical questions when there are plenty of unhypothetical questions that needs a discussion ?

Answering hypothetical questions will only give you hypothetical answeres lowing so what's the point of bringing that into this very debate where one specific issue was raised and debated ...

Why not bar them from playing the church bells?  It disturbs others from their sleep.  The church gets special treatment, since it is a public disturbance.  But it's OK, since they have been doing it for a while!

I ment those Jewish boys and girls switching parts, meaning they get to play another part in the play just not the pig. Some other kid from the majority group gets assigned the pig role. Anyway it was just a quick example.
And I dont know how you expect me to quantify the level of intrusion and set a numerical limit  What kind of a "line" do you expect me to give you?  Every example is different and its decided by different people. If someone request the feet washing thingy at an airport than the owner or the board, for example, can decide whether to put it in or not. If its related to the school than the school board will review the request and decide. They wont pull out a book that has all possible requests anyone can request. They will think about it, figure out the possible cost of it, how much does it affect other people involved etc.

It was declined but the university representatives didnt say "gtfo adapt to our ways or FU". They met with the student and showed them what would need to be done to accommodate them (expended kitchen, more staff etc) showed them the prices and respectfully declined. Civilized, collegial and fair. Thats quite wrong and its definitely not civilized or the "American way".

A lot of private TV stations will do the same depending on their targeted audience.
Since there are many workers from India in some factories, it they request it, arrangements are made to make an isolated part in mess halls for them. But you see, its not a news worthy scandal when they request something like that. If it makes sense and its feasible and doesnt intrude too much than its done. Plain and simple. 
Does that make Bosnia better or worse than a hypothetical "Lowing - My way or the Highway" country?"


Now if analogies and hypotheticals are all of a sudden no longer used to debate in BF2S, explain to my I am asked about Jewish boys, Catholics, Protestents, the GI Bill, church bells.  resteraunts in Vienna etc.......There is more shit I can use but I think my point has been made.

So if I am supposed to answer questions posed to me such as the above, I think it is fair for you all to answer my hypotheticals and analogies. Like I said however, I understand why you will not do it, because if you are truthful you will nt be able to stay true to your argument.
