This whole thing reminds me of the quote “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality looks like oppression.”

Starred for the first part. But for the second.... I honestly believe, in a hundred years, if a species isn’t behind a barricade, it’s going to be extinct. Maybe two hundred, tops.

Yup, areas that didn’t cut their mangroves had a lower loss of life during the 2004 tsunami. Mangroves are cut down for shrimp farming.

Well, I think this comment really illustrates the issue to me.

Wow, literally a Doug Stanhope skit come to life. Though, in his skit, I think the neurologist was Norwegian.

I remember my old boss refused to hire someone when he found out the guy was gay. In this job, my primary goal was to hire new people for his “team.” It was a financial advisory company. Somehow these things aren’t called MLM because they actually make a fair amount of money in stocks.

Question: I’m really interested in many of the “Bohemian” and “fairy” styled clothing on Etsy. Is any of it practical to wear around everywhere in the summer? I mean, will people laugh and point?

I really, really, really don’t like the character of Tony Stark. I don’t like anything about him, yet somehow he has to be front and center the entire time.

You know, it still pisses me off that men don’t have to wear makeup. Or shave their entire bodies. Or wear extremely uncomfortable clothing to be “fashionable.”

Jesus Christ, get out of my house!

Well, to be honest, it partially has to do with the money-laundrying millionaires who bought up all the property in Vancouver, so now it is unaffordable to live there. Many of these homes are also vacant. Not to mention a corrupt system, where some families use every loop hole they can. Millionaires getting student…

Let’s work on the phrasing of this one. The issue is that people believe strongly in this idea that affirmative action quotas put incompetent women and minorities in place over white men. You’ll see this fear pan out every time a person talks about women going into the military. Even when it is pointed out that the…

Wow, someone just starred two old comments of mine. They both sound super bitter without any appropriate phrasing at all. One being from 2016. I really have to work on my wording.

But some women don’t want to be treated that way. I hate this “But I don’t care, so....” Some people do care. Watch Lewis CK’s skit on the girl who wanted him to “rape” her because she was into consensual kink (but never told him that, and wanted him to just assume she would be into it!). Yeah, if it’s someone who…

Oh, you are right. It seems counter-intuitive as you see the person in pain and bleeding. But as anyone in the medical field will tell you, you might end up making it worst.

Heck, all I ever had was standard first aid classes, and that is one of the first things taught as well. Bleh!

The thing that annoys me the most is that this is once again a MRA talking point. Why don’t more women go into dangerous careers, like roofing? Umm, because they can’t get hired anywhere and face harassment at every turn. But why don’t women put up with all the bullshit anyway just to die in equal numbers as men in…

All quite true. I love everyone’s replies! I really like learning about intelligence (especially animal intelligence)

I think a large part of it is that women are pushed out of these sorts of things. Any time there is a huge male majority, they tend to treat the few females involved like shit.  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/chess/11548840/Nigel-Short-Girls-just-dont-have-the-brains-to-play-chess.html

This is what I hate about this argument. Studies show that men’s IQs can be more than women. But it also showed that men have a bigger range, and there were a large number of men that are less intelligent than women. Women tend to have a high average with less geniuses (but also less idiots), so I think it works out…
