Speaking of which, I just became Supreme Leader of the Human Race, and hereby transfer all your property to whoever you hate the most.

FINALLY! A benefit to self-loathing!

You don't think spending $300,000,000 for 44 people to use a web site matters? Wow.

You don't think spending public money on private corporations that fail to deliver matters? Wow.

Isn't this what the republican party and its agents have told you when they were convincing you to fear labour unions?

I think he prefers the rhetoric better than following arguments through to their logical conclusion.

This is a fully operational Nydus Worm.

Being *American* is a risk factor for obesity.

So, according to you the "average man" is actually male olympic standard... to compare the top women to average men is utter foolisness... The facts are verifyable. Look them up yourself.

That's not what I said so there is no need to overturn anything I said. To be clear:

...a amature men's running club. In other words even the most physically tough Olympic standard women are basically average compared to men.

Any average male competitor is going to out compete the women. I.e. the men who aren't even close to being competive with other men. They are amatuers are no one is going to pay to see them. They don't include me because I do not run. They aren't going to the Olympics due to this. Because there are so many better men it's ridiculous. I am not going to out run those women.

The fastest long distance running times for women wouldn't be acceptable as entry requirements for a amature men's running club.

In other words even the most physically tough Olympic standard women are basically average compared to men. That is absolutely a gap between genders no matter how you look at it. That I probably wouldn't be able to join a running club myself doesn't stop the fact that basically no women who ever existed would meet the requirements.

I mean why do you think women have their own groups in the first place?

Which I'm sure will not be a controversial statement at all.

It sure is to some for some reason despite the facts of the matter.

That's how it works heathen.

Why not try "Unlocking the Clubhouse" when it comes to the other thankless risky male dominated jobs, like Janitors or Coal Miners -- Oh, those are clubhouses no one wants to be in? Gee. Go fucking figure.

And that, in a nutshell, is all you really need to know about the situation.

I'm sure Walker's next-to-last words (the last being "Oh, shit!") were "Watch this!"

He was a passenger dipshit.

Just because someone is technically a "layman" in the field doesn't mean that they are less knowledgeable than climate scientists.

I'm pretty sure that's what it means unless there's some ordination process to enter the Church of Climatology I don't know about.

Recall the fallacy of appeal to authority.

*False* authourity. Any old random scientist wouldn't be good enough. Appealing to a relevant expert is not a fallacy.

If this were equivalent to doing so I might agree. However it's not. It's like looking at a lock made out of paper and pointing out to the people who own the house that paper locks don't keep out bad guys.

Children in public schools should not be experimented on.

Why not? It's happening anyway done for political reasons based on nothing but mere ideology. Why not actually apply some scientific scrutiny to the education system rather than come up with something like "No Child Left Behind," and then kind of hope it does what it's supposed to? Is that the system you prefer? Or do you advocate that things just stay as they are and never change? What do you think is better? Or is it just an irrational response to the concept of "experimentation" as if the process of just randomly muddling along was much more superior? How dare we subject our children to rigorous experimental situations that will help our education system in the long term! Leave them to the chaotic winds of ignorance is what God intended! It's clearly failed to work in the past, it can fail to work again!

First thing I thought of with this summary: Black Mirror, Be Right Back
