So, based on history, the Russians will try to keep it going until 2040

We're consumers enough already. We should maybe show people who to become citizens, aware of their duties and rights and able and willing to heed and exercise them, instead of just being mindless consumer drones.

No, there's no hatred directed at women here. That's the bullshit narrative that white knights like you want to create

Ah, so you actually are a batshit crazy moron, gotcha.

Now I can simply ignore your posts.

God, you're pathetic.

Exactly. You, and Barb, and Mattel are free to say unacceptable things all day long. You are free to try to place those utterings on any media you can find, but you are most certainly not guaranteed the right to use someone else's media for that purpose. You are also not protected from having your utterings labeled as "unacceptable", racist, misogynist, "of Satan", or any other term. Get over it.

If retards didn't exist, we wouldn't call them retards.

And if douchebags didn't exist, we wouldn't call them douchebags.

Shall I pencil you in?

See, I'm pushing 50, and while I have a penis I don't define myself in terms of it, and I honestly can't understand the sheer amount of hatred and bile I've seen on Slashdot (and the internet in general) which is directed at women.

To me, it's just a bunch of completely irrational hate by people who feel the need to blame someone else for their problems. I would find it equally idiotic if someone was blaming blacks, Jews, or people with glasses.

So, me I'm more inclined to ascribe this to some mass resurgence of stupidity than some well-reasoned people who have an actual point to make. It's just childish and serves no purpose, and it's like watching a four year old act out to get attention.

I don't care if you're PC or not -- but some people seem to be deliberately acting like loud mouth assholes just for the sake of it.

It's like a bunch of angry 12 year old kids with ADHD is the intellectual level of the discussions around here. And, I'm sorry, but angry 12 year olds with ADHD are annoying little pricks, and not to be given any credibility.

It's almost like there's a bunch of drooling idiots who want to take every possible opportunity to shout down women -- in which case you assume they're bitter, mouth breathing losers with nothing of value to add to the discussion.

Slashdot didn't used to be filled with so many people like this. So either as I get older I'm more sensitive to it, or the level of it is ramping up over time.

So, yeah, if people are going to act like whiny, immature children, I'm going to treat them as such.

Penis jokes, and then it has the temerity to tell someone to "grow up"... Further comment hardly seems sporting.

I used to think it was just ignorance, but now I'm starting to realize it's actually a campaign my misogynists to try and keep women out of IT for some reason.

I'm not so sure I'd call it a campaign.

That implies ordered and rational thought, and some coherent strategy.

Almost by definition, some of those scientists and technology exports would be industry scientists and technology experts, though some wouldn’t be. There’s your range of viewpoints. What I’m arguing is that the range of viewpoints on a science and technology committee need not include the anti-vaxxers, people who don’t believe in evolution, and people who truly think that computers work because of magic smoke. It should mostly or entirely consist of people with some science or technology background in the real world, because those folks are going to have the actual experience needed to understand how their decisions will affect things in practice.

So, what you're offended by is government interference in the economy?

No, what I'm offended by is the magical, bullshit thinking of certain kinds of economics which claims the free market solves problems and achieves optimal outcomes, and the fetishization of the capitalism as some holy and noble goal which contains Higher Truth -- because I think it's a lie and a fairy tale.

It's interesting, by the by, that you seem to have the exact same idea regarding lobbyists and such that Ayn Rand had.

LOL, no ... it is my contention that pure free market capitalism is as inherently broken and flawed as pure communism is, and that those who claim either will achieve perfection if only the rest of the world can be forced to follow it are lying bastards and ideologues.

I believe that the invisible hand is always corrupt, and simply cannot achieve the outcomes attributed to it, and that it will always lead to outcomes beneficial only to a handful of players and detrimental to everyone else.

Pretty sure Ayn Rand and I would agree on very little, except mutual contempt.

"Women are not paid less if they are doing the same jobs and spending the same time doing them as men do, "
demonstrably false.
I assume the rest of your post is based on that false data and did infect my mind with your stupidity be reading it.

Let be guess:
You incorrectly call it socialist. You assume gathering data that show something you don't like is 'whats wrong with America' and you make ad hom attacks against the article and author

Did I get that about right?
.

A) You can't seem to do math.
B) Female Vets do work the same hours
C) Female vets general spend more time with the pet owners then men.

"t 4-5 female vets do the job of one male vet."
this just keep driving me up a wal. So by your "logic" a female vet works 3 hours a day?

Barbie is based on a doll who is based on a cartoon about a prostitute. She's a whore turned housewife. So she's actually an abusive stereotype to a number of groups and subgroups...

Shouldn't you be crying into your pillow and lamenting how having a tiny penis and a small brain has handicapped you and the world is against you?

Seriously, grow up and get a life.

It's a lot better compared to then.
Fuck, you're stupid.

"Amazon should be free to hire who them like"
Yes, lets bring back etrenched racism, thing went so well

"and now lost again back to communist-socialism"
I see you are an idiot.

"Also flash news, weman[sic] do not prefer hard physical work all that much you know. "
False.
