..And what is that? What does their job entail, to you? 'Fixing' something that isn't a problem in the first place, by ruining a drive for competition?

They're the ones who have the official, final say in this matter But what do you want them to do about it, specifically? You want them to penalize these companies who give out higher pay to those who negotiate for it? And what do you imagine as the response from these companies, the increase of eve...

What do you mean? What do you want the court system to do?

I'm not easy to convince about that Well what convinced you that the pay gap exists due to gender discrimination, in the first place? It's not enough to just point out how there's a pay disparity, you have to prove that pay disparity exists specifically due to female discrimination. PS If we're tal...

That $.77 figure is one I consistently see coming up (in one case it was $.75). Right. It would be from 2010 statistics only measuring pay disparity. I'm not entirely sure where all the other numbers come from. I think some of them are based on more local numbers, and some of them are coming from e...

That a woman gets paid $.77 on the dollar that a man gets paid ...No. Not like you would think, anyway. That particular estimate of the 'gender pay gap' is an overly simplistic one which compares the median income between men and women. It does not account for things like job differences or qualifi...

Don't recall reading about women being brutish in history, You probably don't recall hearing much about women in history; Their roles in society only changed relatively recent on a historical timescale. Those roles didn't allow much for contribution, but it also didn't allow much for the negative t...

Thanks for your support; I'll give his balls a tickle tonight, then whisper something in his ear about the 'symphony of order' so he knows that one was from you.

Alcoholism is not the way to go about dealing with your flaws, by the way. I saw in the other thread that you suggest you have a bit of an alcohol problem...Well, I guess you wouldn't call it a problem, yet - you're probably still in that stage of denial; I'd recommend losing the alcohol and picking...

It's more like I was the one calling you out for being homophobic because I don't really care if you want to make some gay innuendos between me and another user - but okay. If that's really your end-all be-all insult, you're free to stick to it. Guess it fits in with everything else you say, as it o...

Here in Denmark we have had a case where a dude had hypnotized women to have sex with him, so it's real. Well, we've had situations like that in the US too, but they are controversial and complicated; The reason why he ended up being convicted had more to do with the intent than an affirmation by t...

Don't insinuate some gay innuendo between us and pretend like you think that's a bad thing; You're the one who insists on focusing on the 'gut stick' and 'I have an eodnhoj tattoo' posts ever since they were made. Your thoughts have practically been frozen in the exact carbon state ever since you he...

Do you think that like you, scientists have considered if campfires caused the last ice age, as part of all that? ...I'm not sure there were animals who knew how to make camp fires before the last ice age. The last ice age started well before early human are thought to have been able to create fire...

Phil, lick your lips . There's a very basic layer to the concept of hypnosis that's true. But the idea of people who can be put to sleep by just a few words, is generally not all there is to it. There's a lot of effort going into effect on the part of the person being 'hypnotised.' Like the fact tha...
