I kind of agree BUT hiring women isn't about changing the political lean of a company (and let's face it, they all have a political lean) because not all women have the same political ideas. It's about hiring more women, not just women that fit a particular standard.

Ummmm... No.

Urgh! Agreed on Piz. Have you ever noticed how the "perfect guy" is always a white dude with a stable job from a secure home? It irks me.

:s I'm 1. Not American and 2. Not an "Obama fangirl". I just think invasions of privacy are wrong.

Thanks for indulging my questions! I read about American history (I'm a history major) but no amount of research can really give me the nuance I need to understand American social issues.

And how long ago when you were in college?

Yeah, that commenter shut down my warm fuzzies about the whole thing. BUT, but... She couldn't really just go knock on the White House door and be all "Hey, Barack, this came to my house by mistake."

I know!!!! sobs

Not at all. I have, recently, been concentrating on the hypocrisies in my own thoughts and this discussion highlighted one for me. I am sometimes a bit of a pearl-clutcher. I really don't like flagrant displays of sexuality and Beyoncé hits that button for me (along with most other pop stars). I had to admit that I…

LOL naked ocean. I have no idea where that came from but I'm leaving it there. Naked ocean indeed.

My native knowledge tells me that they studied winter swimming clubs. There is a bunch of them in each state. They generally swim in pools though, not the naked ocean. They may have also studied a group holding a "winter swim" event which are just groups people swimming in Australian winter which, on the mainland in…

Yay for not invading their privacy! Kudos, too many people would have just torn this apart or tried to sell it or something!

Yeah. I lean that way BUT I don't think cheating is a gender issue. I think cheating is just as common through all genders, sexuality etc.

I've noticed that you coincidently leave out the fact that not having insurance coverage would price the majority of people out of "just buying it themselves".

This all the way! I am moderately overweight, I guess, my doctor rarely mentions it unless it's necessary. I weigh in between 90 - 100kg. I have been told horrid things. I tried running for awhile because I love to run, but fuck, the comments from idiots in their car had me in tears every single time. I mentioned this…

One part of me is like "gooooo girl!" And the other part is like "nurrrr keep your private life private"

No, I want to make them follow the law. There's a difference.
Pretty quick turn around from "we shouldn't have to pay for..." To "It's all about the principle"
Why does your freedom of religion come at the cost of someone's else's health and liberty?
I don't hate faith, but I do hate the Catholic Church.

Go ahead, let them use it. Just pick it up afterwards!

I concede. You know shitloads more than I do. Hats off to you. I'm going to sit in the corner in shame. whimper

Perfect! Precise, succinct and filled with socially conscious knowledge. Thank-you :D
