Quote: Political Correctness: Nothing wrong with being polite. The problem happens when you are forced to be. By law. PC reminds me of that old Twilight Zone episode about the boy who could banish everyone to the cornfield. Smile, say only nice things... or else.
Quote: Plus, PC was used so well in Nazi Germany....
Quote: Socialism and Communism: Those who advocate either philosphy deserve exactly what happened to Hitler (and his Nazis), as well as Stalin.
Quote: Discrimination: I'm for that. However, I also don't say "african-american", "jewish-american" etc. If you can do the job, if you can do what is needed, I've got no problem with you. But again, don't blame your shit on me.
Quote: Religious Intolerance: We are a Christian nation, like it or not. Plus, atheists are the saddest, angriest, most pathetic losers I've ever met. They are people without hope, and people whose morality lays in what they own.
Quote:As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion... Treaty of Tripoli, ratified by Congress and signed into law by President John Adams, 1797
Quote: Buddhists, Mormons, Christians, etc....Don't care what you believe, so long as you believe...
Quote: Feminism: Please tell me where a woman is treated unequal to a man in todays society?
Quote: Environmentalism: I cared about the environment before it was cool to do so. And before hipsters, libs and progs made it a "thing".
Quote: You just made people even less receptive to the ideas of conservationism.

As to Waco, and the FLDS... they only got violent when the government got in their business. But then again, we don't want another Jonestown.
Quote: And as to Taoists etc... ever notice how those religions that don't attempt to convert seem to be the coolest? Like, religion should be a personal choice that you shouldn't force on other people?

Quote: Since 1789, only two percent of the members in congress were women. Today there are only 16 women senators out of 100 and 71 women out of 435 Representatives. For every dollar that men earn women only earn 77 cents for the same job
Quote:The median income for females with a high school diploma was $21,963, compared to $30,868 for males with a high school diploma. Females with bachelor's degrees earned $35,408 in 2000, compared with $49,982 for males. 29 percent of households led by single females are below the poverty level, as compared with just 12 percent of households led by single males. One of the primary causes is that females are still predominately employed in traditional female jobs, such as service occupations and administrative support. Historically, man has been entrenched as the dominant gender for thousands of years. The one undeniable aspect of gender inequality around the world is that it is still a long way off. While the progress that has been made in the twentieth century is impressive, when viewed in a historical context, true gender equality has not yet been attained.
Quote:David R. Hekman and colleagues (2009) found that men receive significantly higher customer satisfaction scores than equally well-performing women. Hekman et al. (2009) found that customers who viewed videos featuring a female and a male actor playing the role of an employee helping a customer were 19% more satisfied with the male employee's performance and also were more satisfied with the store's cleanliness and appearance. This despite that the actors performed identically, read the same script, and were in exactly the same location with identical camera angles and lighting. Moreover, 38% of the customers were women, indicating that even women and minority raters are susceptible to systematic gender biases. In a second study, they found that male doctors were rated as more approachable and competent than equally-well performing female doctors. Similarly, a study from Princeton University shows that when evaluators of applicants could see the applicant's gender they were more likely to select men. When the applicants gender could not be observed, the number of women hired significantly increased. In an audit study, matched pairs of male and female pseudo-job seekers were given identical resumes and sent to apply for jobs as waiters and waitresses at the same set of restaurants. In high priced restaurants, a female applicant’s probability of getting an interview was 40 percentage points lower than a male's and her probability of getting an offer was 50 percentage points lower. The United States National Academy of Sciences found that women in science and engineering are hindered by bias and "outmoded institutional structures" in academia. Similarly, a report on faculty at MIT finds evidence of differential treatment of women and points out that it may encompass not simply differences in salary but also in space, awards, resources and responses to outside offers, "with women receiving less despite professional accomplishments equal to those of their male colleagues." Organizational research that investigates biases in perceptions of equivalent male and female competence has confirmed that women who enter high-status, male-dominated work settings often are evaluated more harshly and met with more hostility than equally qualified men. Stanford University professor Shelley Correll and colleagues sent out more than 1,200 fictitious resumes to employers in a large Northeastern city, and found that female applicants with children were significantly less likely to get hired and if hired would be paid a lower salary than male applicants with children. This despite the fact that the qualification, workplace performances and other relevant characteristics of the fictitious job applicants were held constant and only their parental status varied. Mothers were penalized on a host of measures, including perceived competence and recommended starting salary. Men were not penalized for, and sometimes benefited from, being a parent. In a subsequent audit study, Correll at el. found that actual employers discriminate against mothers when making evaluations that affect hiring, promotion, and salary decisions, but not against fathers. Fuegen et al. found that when evaluators rated fictitious applicants for an attorney position, female applicants with children were held to a higher standard than female applicants without children. Fathers were actually held to a significantly lower standard than male non-parents.
Quote:In the United States, the beginnings of an environmental movement can be traced as far back as 1739, though it was not called environmentalism and was still considered conservation until the 1950s. Benjamin Franklin and other Philadelphia residents, citing "public rights," petitioned the Pennsylvania Assembly to stop waste dumping and remove tanneries from Philadelphia's commercial district. In 1962, Silent Spring by American biologist Rachel Carson was published. The book cataloged the environmental impacts of the indiscriminate spraying of DDT in the US and questioned the logic of releasing large amounts of chemicals into the environment. By the mid-1970s, the Back-to-the-land movement started to form and live by ideas of environmental ethics. These individuals lived outside normal society and started to take on some of the more radical environmental theories such as deep ecology. Around this time more mainstream environmentalism was starting to show force with the signing of the Endangered Species Act in 1973 and the formation of CITES in 1975.

You don't think the white man is the devil. "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies" Sure, ask them why they use the term...white devil...repeatedly What's your defintion of white? Muslims are not a race, btw, they are defined by their religion and as with christianity, cross racial and cultural divisions. Muslim extremists have never, to my knowledge, targeted 'white men'. They've targeted Westerners and Christians.

Quote:Don't take silence against you as a victory of some sort or that we're "starting to open our eyes." Really, it's quite the opposite. Most everyone else is just bored with having to respond to your drivel seeing as they know that you're not going to actually respond to their points or counter them. All you'll do is dismiss it outright as the babbling of brainwashed sheep and declare the options they suggest as incorrect while not offering up what you feel the correct answer would be. Either that or you'll tuck your tail between your legs and try to run away and hope nobody notices you've left. So really there's no point to responding to you. It doesn't make you right. It just makes you an idiot. Mike and Story do more effort than they should even have to in responding to your foolishness and highlighting it for all the world to see and so take their responses as the voices of damn near all the rest of us. And when it comes to responding to you, I'll definitely allow them and anybody else like Frem or Niki to speak on my behalf because they do a better job of tearing you down than I ever could.

I get closer and closer to disappearing, which will no doubt please some, but will silence one more voice of reason...will be interesting to see what this place is like if I came back in a year or so. Maybe all the ridiculous voices will have driven everyone else away and can just rattle on patting themselves on the back and agreeing with one another. When I come back and read through a thread, usually I see ridiculous remarks, silly videos and "neener neeners", with people responding to them and trying to make valid points, only to get same again in response, every time. What a waste of time we'll never get back again! I highly recommend some time away from here for those with any brains; it's very eye-opening. And some, usually the worst (with a few exceptions) spend WAY too much time here, which tells me of their desperate need for...something.
