If I encountered someone like that, I'd really mess with them.

Yeah but are you ever gonna see a woman get free pizza for bottle feeding her baby?

I agree with you on your last paragraph, but this is the U.S. Embassy, not People magazine. He's an American citizen (above all else), and he deserves the security and privacy all other citizens get when they're abroad.

If I were abroad and someone I didn't know went to the U.S. Embassy to demand my whereabouts, I would think that behavior was creepy.

Not to mention a little psychologically disturbing. I feel like this is right out of the Gift of Fear.

I apologize if someone else already point this out, but stunts like this are EERILY similar to how Rebecca Schaefer was stalked and eventually killed. Her stalker insisted he was supposed to be on the TV set, and because he acted like it, security let him in.

Or my personal favorite.

Oh please. In my experience, the more a guy complains about shrinks and the mental health industry, the more likely he is to be messed up himself.

With the internet, bloggers, social media, and other alternative forms of news gathering, traditional media outlets are slipping. In the morning, rather than filter out all the fluff and banter and 100+ birthday announcements and chirpy weather reports, I just go to Google News. I mean...I just don't care for TV…

That's a very fair analysis. THANK YOU!

Very well then. I'll use a real example.

Right. And that's a person who almost always believes in meritocracy*.

And that is why libertarians confound me. Their whole platform is built under the assumption that Idi Amin, an airline pilot, Prince Harry, the homeless guy in Times Square, a CEO, a Wal-Mart cashier, a mechanic, and President Obama all came from equal life circumstances and that where they ended up was all solely a…

I usually point it out for two reasons: a) that song really did ruin the proper definition and b) the word is the most misused word I've ever heard. People use it when what they mean is "coincidental" or "unfortunate" not "ironic."

Oooooooooooooooooh I gotcha. I see what you're saying.

All correct, but that's a narrow scope. There isn't ONE medical school. There isn't just ONE company. Sure there might be only 100 jobs, but that's not the only environment where that would be the case.

You're missing the point. In this economy, it's quite often a choice between Starbucks barista and no income. It's not like there's a choice between barista, nuclear engineer, gas station attendant, teacher, Senator, etc.

But that's not what he's arguing. He's saying that the landscape is changing and now men feel "humiliated" about what they're expected to do. But, you know, when women were already adapting and doing the jobs no one else wanted, that was cool though.

Right. When things were better...FOR GUYS THAT LOOKED LIKE HIM!

His statement itself is sexist, but I bet that went right over his head.
