Ignorant or simply don't believe what you believe?
I have a friend who thinks that anyone who doesn't believe George Bush is a criminal who should be executed for war crimes is "ignorant".

While I generally agree with you, are you really pulling a six year old failed vice-presidential candidate out of the bag?
Also, to be pedantic, it was Flavor-Ade

It's their attempt to be personal.

The First US president did a fairly good job of it

I have to laugh a bit about all the stories on CFLs being so horribly toxic. My Dad's always telling stories about how, when he was a kid, he and his brothers would play with mercury they borrowed from a school lab, cleaning pennies with it, etc. This is all barehanded, no gloves or anything.
He's currently 78 and probably twice as smart as I am.

technically, swimming pools aren't as big and issue as lawns:

Audio is the key. You'll notice stores don't record audio usually. Audio laws are more stringent

Maybe, some day, we'll have incubation centers freeing women from the need to carry the burden for months. But I'm not very optimistic, given that we are yet to solve even the much simpler problem of breast-feeding.

What is this, some sort of dystopian future?
Seriously, if you're going that route, why not just eliminate children altogether and have robots.

I can only speak from my experience. In my company, there is one CEO (male, probably will be succeeded by a female SVP), there are two male SVPs, and 5 female SVPs. In the technology department, there are only three women, and ten men. The woman I directly work with , and has the same job level as me, makes slightly more than me with slightly more seniority.
Unless there's some insidious "but they should make more!" thing going on, then I don't see it.
Doesn't mean it's not happening, just means I don't observe it.

I will add that it's also quite common for women to go out on maternity leave for 6 months to a year. I have yet to see a male employee out when having a child for more than a few weeks. That HAS to affect pay rates/experience/ability to perform a job at some level. Not accounting for that is ignoring the elephant in the room.

If we buy this argument, then shouldn't we simply stop making as much food, and bring the number down through mass deaths? I mean, why work so hard?

I bought a Moto X SPECIFICALLY because it was made in the US.
Great phone, BTW.

ugh.
