I think what happened in Colorado is a good example of why this problem exists. In Colorado the governor (IIRC) was kicked out for passing a gun law that 80% of Colorado people agreed with. The thing is the only people to show up and vote on weather to kick out the governor were the 20% who were pissed that there were now laws requiring background checks on gun purchases.

Or you can say.

Free to choose as long as society doesn't view the choice as politically incorrect it seems. For example men who want to raise children or teach elementary school are often looked down upon or ignored by conservatives as being homosexuals, pedo's, or just plain overly feminine. Conservatives like to pretend they are tolerant, but they are only tolerant of people who don't deviate from their ideals.

And, that's not even going into this pure bullshit quote from the parent you responded to, "It is a fact that women are better at raising young kids"

You are misunderstanding asymptomatic. 33% of people will be infected with the flu, will transmit the flu to others, but show no symptoms themselves. It is hard to tell how long it takes for their bodies to fight it off because they don't show any symptoms, but it most definitely does not mean they fought it off quickly.

No time is wasted on back story or set-up; the exposition is somewhat crude and artless, but it is calculated to take the minimum time possible to get the viewer to the giant robot action.

I at least partially blame this on viewers. Lots of people complain about how "slow" the movie was when they take time to do setup and back story.

A lead foot is the least of the problem. Constant acceleration and braking uses far more fuel. You see it all the time on the interstate in stop and go traffic with people jamming on the gas to go 10 feet and slam on the break. That will use far more gas than the same trip driving a constant 30 mph over the speed limit.

None of your coworkers see you come in and know what time you arrived correct? Neither your computer nor the authentication server your computer uses log what time you logged in correct? You also don't fill out a time card of any type declaring when you came in and how many hours you worked?
You're argument seems to be centered around the idea that your boss has no right to know if you are actually fulfilling your obligations as an employee.
