Originally posted by Colleen Actually, the life sentence is a 115-year sentence. Not that anyone's going to live it out, but... you know. Also, life sentences tend to let you be paroled after 25 years unless it's specifically stated otherwise. |

Originally posted by Arwon Not really. They provide strawmen for the other side to attack. Anyways, um... yea, gender equality is pretty much completed. While there's still some sexism here and there, it's highly negligible. Much ado about nothing. Those firms which practice discrimination suffer.. natural selection can play its proper role now. |

| Viral videos are great. I saw a couple good ones about domestic violence recently, I'll try to dig them up again.. | |||

| Yea, that's right.. I need to be executed. The equity of pay for women is lower because of factors other than their gender. For example, if you take several years off to raise children, your pay will be lower. Once these kinds of controls are added, the wage gap decreases significantly (or vanishes, depending on who you ask.) Domestic violence is illegal. Those who engage with it should be prosecuted. I don't know what else you could want. Sexual education is not a gender issue. Educate yourselves. (edited by hhallahh on 03-11-05 01:06 AM) |

| Noted. Obviously, I was talking about America, because I believe it was implied that there's still more work to be done here. "Not really," I'd say. Obviously, I can't speak for other first-world nations as well, and I know there are still serious problems in the third world. I suppose I should remember that most people here aren't American. | |||

Originally posted by The SomerZ I have a better idea about legislated maternity/paternity leave that would result in equality: Abolish it. Let firms create their own policies, and let those who don't like them work at other firms. It'd work in Norway, or America, or anywhere, and it'd just be great. The implicit fear is that women will be punished for having children (or maybe men would too, if paternity leave becomes common), but.. my response would be is that, if you're planning on having children, this is simply a factor you should take into account. As for subsidizing child care.. the reason why women quit their jobs to be with their children is because they could do spend their time better by investing in their homes. Artificially lowering the opportunity cost of going to work results in the destruction of wealth so that feminists can feel better when looking at societal statistics. Silly.

| No, if it's about equal rights for women, then "privatization" is a perfectly legitimate means to achieve this end. If it's about equal results for women, then yes.. that's ridiculous. To argue that the wage gap should be proactively dealt with while ignoring its true causes is ridiculous in the way that arguing that a McDonalds employee should earn the same amount of money as a doctor is ridiculous. "Uneducated, single, young mothers" are the typical strawman example, one that I wouldn't argue with. I think the rates of paternity debts that are actually collected are appalling. As a result, we have various programs aimed at helping "uneducated, single, young mothers". I wouldn't oppose these (at least not here.) However, we're not just talking about women who fall into that catagory, are we? Or we're not talking about remedies tailored to their specific problems, are we? |

| Wow, you're attacking economics as an empirical discipline? I dare say rational argument is probably not worth having with you, but I'll add the obvious point: If the law is blind to gender differences, then both men and women have equal rights, at least in the negative sense through which most people use the term. Simple. | |||

Gets you ready for the GREs.  But really, the test was changed in response to the demands of universities (specifically, the University of California system) which attacked the old SAT for being too... formulaic. So I'd assume the changes are good, because they're what the schools wanted, because they were concerned that the old SATs weren't really a good signal of student ability. |

| Um, I'm not a "misogynist". You're not going to win any arguments by being intellectually dishonest and posing false dilemmas. And I really don't think Summers said that. Since you're apparently unable to provide evidence otherwise, I'll continue to think that. Nothing I've read about Summers evidences at a misogynistic streak on his part. |

| My only concern with ANWAR is whether we should be so hasty to tap it. Although I'm not really worried about Peak Oil, I'm not sure that it's in our long-run interests to use this source up now. | |||

| Oil prices will rise, substitutes will be developed and new sources opened up. The chances of a crash are highly unlikely and the fact that such an event would have been unprecendented in the history of capitalism should be telling. If an oil crash were in the future, prices should be reflecting it now, since people would be hoarding oil. | |||

Originally posted by ||bass Uh, we have a strategic reserve, yes. It was established in the wake of the oil shock in the 70s and is meant to protect against those kinds of events... not a long-term oil crash or whatever.

Originally posted by Ziffski Nah. This isn't the best issue for me, but isn't Canada's oil sand supply potentially larger than Saudi Arabia's? Russia supposedly has a fuckload of oil too. And IIRC, the continental shelf has more oil than every known land reserve. Something like that. |

| Hm. I'm having an alright time so far.. I've found the missles, and used them to get the first energy tank in the Norfair-esque area, but... I'm not sure where to go next. There's no new areas that I know I can access.. | |||

 Now I'm stuck here. I can't bounce through the hole just to the right of Samus in this picture. =\ I actually got it once but forgot to save, and now... I can't do it again. She just won't bounce high enough. I've tried dozens of times. |

| Yea, umm... it's difficult. I got past the first part, but the second one is hard too. Mostly because it just seems like trial and error, like you have to bounce in exactly the right pattern first... and even then you might not get it. And there are dozens of combinations as well. Gah. |
