you need a new hobby :)

you want to understand why women in general have a hard time being taken seriously in serious professions? Read the comments in this thread. This thread and the silly, illogical, misanthropic comments illustrate better than anything I could say why women don’t advance equally with men.

It frustrates me because for…

“actual democracy” - ahahahahahahaha *breathe* ahahahahahah

what color is the sky in your world?

ya know - the idea that she is using a body double is probably wrong. But last week the idea that Secretary Clinton was sick was also dismissed as just wrong. So, while the #bodydouble seems crazy, in the recent past, the "Hillary is a liar and capable of anything" crowd has been more reliable than Candidate Clinton…

I agree with you - I think the important aspect of this is that Hillary (OR her campaign staff) lied about her condition a few times in the last few days. Her health (which probably ought not disqualify her) is a legitimate area of inquiry. Hillary and/or her staff deliberately mislead the public.

But - let’s face it -…

“Mansplaining" is a device developed by illogical women to shield themselves from having to face the fallacies in their arguments or actions

“they’re not supported by their government either”

*sigh*

Serious question: Who do you know that those binders, pictures and people are imaginary? Is it possible that such a binder exists?

no - you are apparently a sentient being who thinks. Unlike those who would reflexively answer "yes" to the question you posed.

*sigh* — I don’t think you know what the word “conspiracy” means

1. this will be my last response because I want you to have the last word.
2. Your advice vis a vis law school is about 35 years too late.
3. “Casual thought” - yet you were the one who suggested I acquaint myself with “contrasting properties of ‘but’”.
4. I’m sorry that you didn’t get my point - which I think I have…

It is not difficult for me to understand. A contrasting point means that the speaker (you) is less than certain that the preceding point is correct.

In this case your first statement “probably didn’t mean anything” is contrasted to “this is twice now”. The clear meaning being that you are less than certain is didn’t…

It’s a pattern — so what’s your point?

How many on the air gaffes does she get before you call her a racist?

Is there a particular concentration (so many per year?) or is it a simple aggregate number (3 strikes and you’re out regardless of when those strikes come?).

The very fact that YOU DID make a contrasting point was…

If it didn’t mean anything, then why point out “this is twice now”? You can’t have it both ways; either it didn’t mean anything or it did. Pick ONE.

it probably didn’t mean anything anyway. But this is twice now.

Here’s the solution. Let’s eliminate gender specific sports. Let the women, men, anyone compete against each other. No longer worry about the plumbing, the chromosomes, nothing. That takes care of the issue.

How long below the “woman’s advocates” start hollering because the only Olympic medals being won by women are…

wow — I cant believe I have to explain this to you but here goes - you said the Representative was not suggesting a tribunal prior to the firing squad; presumably because he did not expressly mention one. I made the point that in context it was clear he was talking about a firing squad after due process had been…

Ok - so the next time you say that a rapist should go to prison, I will assume that you think they should go directly to jail without the benefit of a trial.

He is presuming guilt. However, he did not say she should be summarily executed. He used the language and vocabulary of the legal system.

ummm.... hate to say it — but We (the folks who were against the ACA) told you (the pollyannas) so.

I am guessing that you are not familiar with the concept of due process - so allow me to explain to you the difference between assassination and a firing squad. A firing squad only comes after a finding of guilt by a tribunal. An assassination is an illegal killing. Death by firing squad is state sanctioned and only…
