Actually a society cannot exist without people in it. We are society, there is no ghost in the machine. Your premise is essentially that future people will act different if they had existed in the present or past simply because they are future people but they aren't acting different because present people are leading…

Oh that is going to be a problem .... he seems under sized

So what we are discussing here is root causes. In that sense your argument is severely incoherent. Essentially you're saying women care about their looks either because

What the...? Are you serious? Then we shouldn't tell ANYONE to not do ANYTHING wrong, because, you know, screw the counterproductive effects it may have on the individual and society as a whole. By your logic, we shouldn't have law and punishment, because why should we tell people what to do, even if it's, like, bad…

Since you are so smart may be you can tell us why the cops will attempt to murder innocent people. You've eliminated honest mistake from the realm of possibilities so what's the motive? Remember if you think it's self preservation then you are also saying they had to believe it was Dorner in the suv which will then…

The point is that women want to enlarge their breasts and that is why the breast enlargement industry exists. The existence of implants did not in itself create the demand for breast enlargement. If I started mass producing and marketing thigh implants it is unlikely i could create a demand where one does not exist…

You're starting the book from the end. The mega billion dollar beauty industry emerged because there was demand to be served and disposable income to pay for the supply not the other way around. The supply did not arrive first.

You do make a very salient point. Once in a while you need to be reminded that "society" isn't something that is imposed on us from on high or something that just fell from the sky. It is us. We are society, there is no ghost in the machine.

Of course I agree they should've made every effort to determine the truck was in fact Dorner's. The question is given the conditions what does "every effort" mean. We know for sure its not asking the driver for ID to make sure its not a look alike. So essentially the identification effort is necessarily going to be…

If you are looking at an SUV you believe to be occupied by a deadly killer. Any sound emanating from it that remotely resembles a gun shot will sound like one to you. Undergoing training does not make them super human. For example the McGurk effect will fool all of us every time even if I tell you what is going on.…

You know now that the truck had 2 innocent women, the cops did not have this information at the time. If you were a cop do you imagine you could ever make a mistake? They are in a life and death situation, where some guessing is required and guessing wrong gets them dead. We cannot give law enforcement weapons and ask…

Because you have never made an honest mistake in life or at your job. Why exactly would cops decide to open fire on innocent citizens? What exactly is a good reason to shoot at them? Obviously they were working under the impression this was Dorner who had already killed 3 innocent people and may be more if he wasn't…

You realize it is only your opinion that lesbianism on music videos is wrong. You also realize that they are a lot of people with equally scant evidence to support their belief that lesbianism anywhere is just plain wrong.

We can reach a decision on where to place a transgendered kids without necessarily desegregating sports.

If ability and merit are factors in selection then fewer women will play sports if you segregate just by size especially if the kids are over 12. If you are asking for a random selection irrespective of ability then yeah that could work.

The same logic applies... If all the women in a college had to make the same basketball,baseball or soccer team it is not inconceivable to project that none or a very small number of the women would make it.

Personally, I am all for unisex locker rooms. It will not bother me one bit. I generally avoid being naked in front of strangers but the sex of the stranger is not important. But this is not about me, though.. the more important question is what is best for us all. So bathrooms are segregated for the same reason…

Lets say you integrate track field what do you say the majority of women who can't approach men's times in say the sprints? You really believe that is best outcome for all of us if women did not have the opportunity to run in the olympic finals?

So what if someone has different genitalia than you...can't we all just piss and shit in one room

I'm pretty sure Barry Petchesky is making far more money than he needs for sustenance and is neither rejecting the extra compensation or shoveling all of it to the Red Cross. On what basis then do we expect the NFL to charge anything less than it can sustainably command? The NFL is a purveyor of a hyper luxury…
