Comment Re:Just the cost of doing business. (Score 1) 311

You sound like a creationist. Stating that because one term in certain context means one thing then the same term in another context means the same thing and therefore statements made of both are equal is a common fallacy tactic. I can't decide if you're trolling or not but just in case you weren't, the fact that physical laws are called laws doesn't relate them in any way to laws society has produced to govern itself. They should really be called 'descriptions' instead (for example: Newton's description of universal gravity) but instead some smart ass decided to call them laws instead and now we're stuck with the term. Just like we're stuck with the fact that 'theory' means one thing in common language and the complete opposite of that thing in scientific language.

Comment Re:Title IX Of Course (Score 1) 87

Title IX is also used to throw male students out of higher education based on rape claims that police have investigated and deemed fake or that have even been anonymous without any proof or involvement from officers of law. These men have been given no chance to defend themselves from these claims but instead their futures have been destroyed because of anonymous or provably false rape claims. It is a sign of our culture that a false rape claim can destroy mans future more thoroughly than false murder claim.

Comment This would go over so well on IT (Score 2) 312

Seriously, I'm a programmer at least in part because I want to be as comfortable as possible during work. It's not a huge reason but it's a reason non the less. If I in any way liked the idea of physical discomfort during work I would have gone to do construction or something else instead of programming (the pressure and responsibility as a programmer/designer in a small or medium sized company is insane, you really need to like this job to do it).

As someone looking at US culture from outside, the attitude towards guns is one of the things I despise most. I can see how the "right to bear arms" made sense before modern weapons but seriously, the gun nut culture and weapons worship that I see from people from US whenever someone has the audacity to suggest that maybe there's too many guns too easily available is just insane.
