She just didn't want to hear it. He can say what he likes to whoever he likes, but she won't listen to it.

Since we're on the topic of female circumcision, my question is quite simple:

I find it amusing that you think we should keep the people currently in charge just because they've been doing it for years when it's clear to everyone that they've been doing their work badly.

Multiclass races are stupid for this very reason.

I'm fairly sure that Ontario policymakers (and other places too, but I live in Toronto so I wouldn't know too much about the others) are determined to destroy the public school system. Honestly, it is distressing that we are now at the point where if I want to have my child taught in such a way that his education…

So, basically, catching up on sleep is something you can do, and it's something you should do.

If the IMF and ECB were the same body, then you could say that Christine Lagarde is an example of a woman who holds a high position at the ECB. But they are not the same organization, nor are they in any way related.

Your statement is just plain wrong. Jezebel has frequently posted articles that are exactly the opposite of what you're suggesting - they've posted articles written by scientists that show women are in no way less competent at math than men, and in situations where someone in the media has made the "Math is hard (for…

I have to say, I really feel bad for Ruth. It didn't have to go down like this. Perhaps what she did was misguided, but the response from both camps ensured that she now has no friends, only enemies.

One pours time and effort into issues they have the most impact on. If you had 5 hours a week to spend on a cause, how much of a difference could you make in the life of a woman living halfway around the world in a culture you know little about? Compared to that, could you do more or less for the quality of life of…

At this rate, history is all they'll have left.

It's not the bending over backwards that I look for. I don't like it when people prostrate themselves to me or give the air of desparation.

He said "those who prioritize innovation over litigation" not "those who innovate over those who litigate." Every company must litigate. But if a company releases the same product six years running while using a big litigation stick to beat away any competition, I'd say they are definitely spending more time thinking…

That's a pretty impressive case of a biased jury as well as an incredibly incompetent one.

Apart from the fact that she had no criminal record, your point is valid.

If only the "without makeup" part were true. Female gymnasts wear ridiculous amount of makeup. The beach volleyball dressing guidelines are no better.

In the land of the stupid, the biggest idiot is king?

That's part of the reason for their ruling. Real sports don't work like that. There would be defined moves and points assigned to moves based on difficulty. Otherwise, a wardrobe malfunction would be scored higher than anything else.

I think this is the right ruling. It's not that cheerleaders are not athletes. The problem is that it takes more than athletic challenge to make an activity a sport. A big part of that is independence from other sports and its own structure.
