People are beginning to panic because it's pretty obvious that man is certainly capable of destroying the whole earth in a relentless and heedless race to be Masters of the Universe. And that some pretty powerful people have a lot invested in the race, and they would rather we continue debating...

It only goes in one direction, is what's offensive [highly!]. Men can be in need of 'rescuing', but that doesn't ever get spoken about [out loud, or in public], much less made into fairy tale tropes. Portraying only women as needing to be rescued, and only men as the rescuers [unless you're...

Rather ironic, that people who have a history of inbreeding are so often opposed to gay marriage, IMO. The lack of access to potential mates outside their immediate family didn't stop them from enjoying a sex life, or marriage and parenthood, but they believe their religion should stop gays from...

Oh, it's possible, lol. I wear shoes only when absolutely necessary, and only own shoes that can be kicked off in a flash. ;)

Anyone who considers being knocked upside the head with a nun's habit a serious threat is some kind of soft in the head, lol. And I notice you didn't answer my question about who holds the real power in the church [not who does all the work]: if the church is considering buying or selling...

The first time I ever listened to an audiobook, I was driving my cargo van for Panther, and had a load delivering Monday am in NC. I don't remember where it picked up, but I left from home Sunday night, with plenty of time to get there. Until I realized, somewhere along I 40, that at some point...

Once government is involved, progress stops. The answers will likely come out of a garage in some small town. The idea that a few hundred people, and arguably not the brightest our society puts out, are better to solve problems than 300 million is absurd. That entire paragraph is...

While science decides whether humans are responsible for the change, [and frankly, given the evidence, I don't see what other cause there could be - what else even could change the ecosystem to such a degree?] I think we can agree that if it needs to be reversed, or at least slowed down, only...

I do avoid Disney movies - Pixar [Toy Story! Cars! Monsters Inc!] is much more my style. I did not"characterize her support for her stay at home Mom as offensive" - not at all. Women who choose to stay at home to raise their kids need all the support they can get [from people who speak in...

Huh? :confused: What's that all about? And how are pay cuts justified, after years of rising costs and 'driver shortages'?

OK, but I'm just wondering: why, given the comments the man made [to a woman who is half black, no less!], would there be any reason to "confirm his stupidity"? Unless, maybe, you didn't consider his comments proof enough?

Lots of us have AirTabs, and Turtle wrote about putting his Sprinter in a wind tunnel to test them. The fuel mileage increase seems slight, but multiplied over the life of the vehicle, it looks like a no brainer, IMO. And that's not even counting the stability they provide when being passed by a...

On a KMart merry go round - but we're thoroughbreds, we need to run, lol. ;) It has been very odd, for May, but life is full of surprises.....

Since the world's most respected scientists believe that climate change is real, and potentially disastrous, whom do you believe is 'manipulating' science?

Yes, it was directed at you - it was you who posted the link about her, correct? As if to say what he did was wrong, but [there's always a 'but', lol] look at the accuser! Like that makes his behavior less odious, somehow. It doesn't. Even if the rape victim wasn't a virgin, it's still rape if...

Does that mean we should not continue to clean up our act? Not in ANY way, shape or form. Does that mean we should deny the FACT that, in the United States, we have done much to clean up air and water, and continue to do so? NO, we should ALWAYS be pointing out the progress that has been...

I don't doubt that women "pretty much run the show", just like secretaries pretty much run the office, but they don't get the paychecks, authority, or respect a man would get in their place. When the church wants to buy or sell property, or hire a new minister, who has the final say?

You gotta love Sulzberger's rationaale for paying Abramson less than the men who held her position: compensation is largely a matter determined by salary history. Yeah - so women will continue to be paid less for the same work, because that's the way it's always been. :rolleyes:

When I born, I black. When I grow up, I black. When I go in sun, I black. When I scared, I black. When I sick, I black. And, when I die, I still black. And you white fellows: when you born, you pink. When you grow up, you white. When you go in sun, you red. When you cold, you blue. When you...

Except it isn't. Remember back when black people had just got their civil rights, and could sit in the front of the bus, and go to school & eat lunch with white people? And how they were, for a time, all about "Black Pride"? Wearing their hair in Afros, instead of straightening it to resemble...
