Your question seems confused.
All of them have changed?
Quote:We have gone from aligning ourselves with God to the literal polar opposite.Which is a marked improvement.
Quote:Could construction standards do this and still have a sound structure?They did, once upon a time we relied upon "god" to prevent a house from burning down when lightning struck. Now we ground them.
Quote:Or if you rather do construction standard change in the light of political correctness?Sure, since you use the term "political correctness" to refer to people not exploiting the living shit out of their serfs and slaves as your god intended...some construction standards do contain provisions regarding materials produced as the fruit of the poisoned tree....but more commonly wage and employment laws are leveraged to that effect.
Quote:IS the thickness of a foundation determined by LGBTUVWXYZ community? if the xyz community could change a construction practice because of the nature of it's P/C would that change even be a construction standard? Look at what I originally said. How can you have a standard if it is not universal or is ever changing?Your god with reference to moral standards, in your own analogy, would be the equivalent of the "lgbtuvwxyz" community with reference to structural engineering. Both are irrelevant to their respectively proposed subjects.
So GJ on that one.....?
Quote:Maybe you do not understand how the word is being used here:Those things change. What's the problem? Would you prefer that we slavishly commit ourselves to substandard standards in perpetuity? -Rhetorical.
