Attached to: The Push For Quotas For Women In Science

New physicians and lawyers are now predominantly women. Not only are these fields lucrative, but there's a lot of people practicing in them (that is, there are far more openings than for physicists or mathematicians).

I know in the state of Maine, being the liberal hole it is.... it PAYS (it meaning we) for single mothers(see harlots) to go to college. They pay NOTHING, receive a stipend to live on, food stamps, rent, utilities paid, and oh yeah, if they have an issue with their car the state will pickup the bill. Oh did I mention the state also pays for daycare?

Oh, I also forgot, they don't need to pass. One of my friends was dating one of these single mother system users... she skipped class, dumped her kid at daycare and spent the day having sex with him. What a gem she was.

Now in a state like Maine (highest taxes in the country) it takes a LOT of effort and cash(since white men don't qualify for anything in aide if their parents make 30g's a year) for men to get through college to begin with.

In the state of Maine one out of three people is on some form of state assistance. Oh course most men don't qualify(need kids or an injury). So to me it seems that the MEN are being crushed by the system and are being forced to pay for these irresponsible women(who some got pregnant I'm sure).

It's like communism, the state takes from the working and dumps all of their income into the lazy.

SO yeah, more women in Maine are in college and more women graduate with degrees. Not all of them are bad, some girls just made a mistake and are capitalizing on the system, BUT the system is FORCING men out of school because they just can't afford it(since they're the only ones who pay).

  Cool new projects: July 2008 2008-07-07 01:36 drDugan

drDugan writes "What is the coolest project that you are working on or that you have seen in the last few months? So much of what drives good design is knowing what is available. People creating on the edge — making new things don't want to know what someone has paid to market to them — we want to know what is being built at the leaves, in the 3-5 person teams with no marketing budget and working in their spare time building tools, software, hardware, new technologies, whatever. This is not for ideas, or for brainstorming, or finding people to help with your project — rather, what have you built? Here is the place to shill and self promote, to step up on that soapbox and post it here. [Please make this a monthly event on Slashdot]"

  3 AM Gril Now Supporting Obama[->] 2008-04-05 14:32 drDugan

drDugan writes "The Tacoma News Tribune and This is True are reporting that the slumbering girl in Clinton's "Who do you want answering the phone at 3 a.m.?" campaign ad is 17 now, plans to vote after she turns 18 (before the 2008 election), and lives in Washington State. Turns out that the girl, Casey Knowles, was filmed for stock footage 8 years ago, is a devoted Obama supporter and was a Democratic precinct captain at the Feb. 9 caucus. She said on CNN, "I think it would be wonderful if Barack Obama and I could get together and do a counter-ad"."

drDugan writes "Radiohead is releasing thier new album, "In Rainbows" for download online, allowing uses to "choose to pay as little as 45 pence, about $1 USD". Maybe we will get back to the Dead model of bands actually connecting with their fans and having them support the people with talent."
