Fuck this. I’m going to bed. I feel like crying.
pandapistols asked: That's why the majority of of forces who allowed women to serve have since stopped. It is not the job of the military to promote equality, it is their job to kill people and lose the least people while doing so. I would not be against having female only units but you cannot have mixed units because they cannot function.
pandapistols asked: The problem with women serving on the front lines is not that they are incapable of doing so, they are. The prime example of this was during the Siege of Leningrad where the majority of women fought to prevent the Germans over running the city. However the Russians found that the units who had women serving in them had incredibly low moral and were unable to preform their duties well. You cannot...
humarashid asked: Your response to welcome-to-the-pride about that idiotic Santorum quote about women in the military was spectacular. BRAVO. You get all the golf-claps! :D

[Lazen’s] class assignment was to build a molecule using one of those modeling kits with the colorful balls and plastic connectors. Many kids would probably throw together a little H2O and call it a day — but not Clara. She randomly pieced together a combination of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon atoms to create a molecule her chemistry teacher, Kenneth Boehr, had never seen before....

Report: Watching Episode of 'Downton Abbey' Counts... →
WASHINGTON—According to a report from the U.S. Department of Education released Thursday, watching a single episode of the British TV series Downton Abbey is the cultural and educational equivalent of reading an entire book. “It’s a period piece with British accents and drama that hinges on each character’s place within an aristocratic peerage system, so needless to say, viewing...

“It’s just entertainment” or “but it’s a fantasy world!”
Fuck that.
Why "there's no market for it" is no excuse:
I see people all the time who, when asked why there aren’t more movies, books, and so on for women and minorities, say things like, “Well, it’s just not marketable. There’s no audience for a [movie/book] about [whatever].” Fuck you.
Marketing isn’t about giving people what they want. Marketing is about TELLING people what they want and making them buy it. The...

In other news, I heard something on the radio this morning that almost made me barf. The morning hosts on the local station were talking about how great Tim Tebow is and what a nice guy and how someone, someday is going to be a very lucky lady.
Right. I wouldn’t wish that vile, woman-hating piece of garbage on anyone.
Men like that are seriously dangerous to women, and it makes me...

So… nothing a child thinks is valid until they’re past the age of 14? Would you say the same thing if statistics said this is also the age most children become atheist? I agree we should teach options, but kids do have beliefs of their own.
Children are born atheists.
But you’re right. Kids have...

Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) has deleted his Facebook post linking to an article in The Onion about a fictional Planned Parenthood “Abortionplex.”
In a Facebook status on Friday, Fleming alerted his followers to The Onion’s May 18, 2011 article, “Planned Parenthood Opens $8 Billion Abortionplex” and wrote “More on Planned Parenthood, abortion by the wholesale.” Fleming’s spokesman Doug Sachtleben...

My mom and I were talking about this just yesterday. I said that if they want to teach children the bible, they should teach them a bit of every religion (and atheism too), so that the kids can decide what they want to believe in.
That’s how I feel about it. My partner and I are both atheists,...
