Your opinion and mine do coexist. But you are not ignorant. And I don’t think our rules of refined debate apply to increasing tolerance and the rights of the disenfranchised. It’d be great if they could, but they can’t. Civil rights leaders didn’t really win anybody over by debate, but by DEMAND. They marched, and…

Except this study controlled for qualifications and still found substantial bias. If women and minorities simply aren’t considered when they don’t make up enough of the candidate pool, how could qualifications be the issue?

That is presuming that there is only one BEST choice, and that choice is obvious when compared to the other choices. In reality, there are often many BEST choices for the job, and in those circumstances non work-related traits most definitely come into play.

That being said, I believe that a major company looking to hire the BEST employee, would do so.

“Wait, why is this on AdequateMan? This is about hiring practices... wait, I get it, you want me to remain adequate while you women get more than adequate. I see where this is going, I’ve taken the red pill... wait.... that was also made by a woman.... AAAHHHH!!!”

Or that somehow castigating speech, or not giving it your paid for platform, is somehow violating free speech. These people want their uncontested speech free and paid for, not free speech for all.

He bankrupted an entire state. He has no business telling anyone that they should be more responsible.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. Human beings are great at compartmentalizing and rationalizing the irrational. It’s very common for people to have no problem being kind and even liking and being friends with members of a group they don’t like or are suspicious of overall (e.g. blacks, Muslims, liberals, conservatives…

“Schilling did not specifically clarify which of his former co-workers were racist or had said racist things.”

Schilling should take responsibility for his company's failure and pay back the state of Rhode Island.

That’s funny, because I’m a Red Sox fan and I don’t have a problem distancing him as a player who spent a handful seasons in my team’s uniform from a hateful idiot spewing noxious garbage. Maybe your friends are idiots.

I don’t think it’s so different than a racist justifying his racist views with “but I have black friends, so I’m not a racist .... it’s those (insert stereotype about black people here) ones that are the problem.”

And he also does the chickenshit thing where he says “I don’t support everything I share/retweet, I’m just getting the conversation started, you know?”

I like conservatives like Schilling who always love telling poor people and/or minorities to “take responsibility” for themselves. Then people like Schilling go out and blame all their problems on liberals.

Good on the MLB, taking the high road and deciding that being entombed in Toledo was punishment enough.

This season’s Warriors and Spurs are literally two of the best teams ever, old man.

Eh, you’re assuming those teams are/were looking to fill their rosters with the best available players (or, in the case of the Grizzlies, that that was even an option, given that they were depleted by injuries to guys they still had to pay). The Sixers and Lakers were not employing the best available players; by…

Bingo. Today’s NBA vs mid-80s:

Here’s another way of looking at the depth of the league now vs 2016.

Also, comparing a hypothetical list of a bunch of players who were retroactively placed on this team by you in order to maximize the number of HOF members against the actual Olympic team of this year is ridiculous. Are you saying that there are only 5 future HOFers in the NBA?
