Comment Re:The Government is NOT here to help you... (Score 1) 463

Plus this is the sort of nonsense that your government is supposed to do something about

Nah, it's more like what people imagine the government cares about. Lots of people are still scammed through letters and phone calls, and there are thousands of homes broken into every day. Meanwhile most police investigators are busy smoking weed with drug dealers, and the NSA is occupied with tracking the cellphone of a goat herder in Pakistan whose cousin's brother began growing his beard 4cm longer.

Obama said he would retaliate, so it's a natural assumption, though for all we know Best Korea broke something while fortifying its defenses against this imminent attack. And while Sony may not have hacked itself, making itself look like an innocent victim of a powerful adversary rather than a negligent fool brought to its knees by teenage pranksters certainly is to its advantage

Does that make death threats that involve planning to be very, very, very, real threats, and deaths threats that result in injuries to be very, very, very, very real threats, and threats that produce a corpse to be very, very, very, very, very real threats? Cause in that case very, very real threats are child's play.

Why is there no similar push in any other field (think firefighter/truckdriver/constrution)

I think it is across the board (of course only when male numbers are "too high"). Female-owned construction companies are preferred for government contracts, and the NYC fire department just eliminated physical performance tests since not enough women could pass. It's probably happening now because the tipping point of unmarried female voters has been reached, from now on they are simply going to vote themselves entitlements. The writers of the Constitution weren't just being jerks when they didn't give women suffrage
