Well, I do know that my country doesn't sponsor a fucking church!Arising_uk wrote:No it's easy bob as unlike you I have no illusions about my country. Whereas I doubt you know anything about yours in person.
Oh right. They just don't have to pay any taxes, turning them into the corrupt bloated mega-corporations that they are. Is that why you have invented your own religion? You are hoping to do the same? Well you first have to have followers and suckers who are willing to empty their pockets for you. L Ron Hubbard did it, but he was intelligent and (apparently) charismatic (the biggest mystery of all, but you can never account for other people's taste).bobevenson wrote:Please, don't talk like the stupid limey you are. Not a single American tax dollar supports any church, and you can't say that about your despotic country!
“The 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time. It does not account for differences in occupations, positions, education, job tenure, or hours worked per week. When all these relevant factors are taken into consideration, the wage gap narrows to about five cents. And no one knows if the five cents is a result of discrimination or some other subtle, hard-to-measure difference between male and female workers.”vegetariantaxidermy wrote:I never understand that claim. It's made here too. It's illegal to not pay women the same as men for the same job, so how can it be that women don't get paid as much as men?bobevenson wrote:If women ruled the world? Jesus Christ, they can't even rule a household. All they do is complain about not getting promoted or paid as much as men. You might as well ask what if up were down?
I knew that. It shows how statistics can be skewed by those with an agenda. Plumbers often make a lot of money. Never seen a female plumber. Builders do too. Never seen a female builder. And yes, I know they exist, especially on American renovation TV shows (but only if they are blonde and attractive).Walker wrote:“The 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time.

Why would you name a non-religion as "The Church of"?bobevenson wrote: ↑Mon May 08, 2017 8:03 pmbobevenson wrote:The Church of Ouzo is not a religion, which shows how perceptively impaired you are.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: Is that why you have invented your own religion?
It’s a strange beverage. The first drink makes you wonder what exactly that was. So you take another. If you take three, you begin to learn more about yourself and the drink, and perhaps what inspires it, so be prepared. It may have been given to Sparta by one of those gods. It’s a religion for the young, although I can’t say if it’s for older folks, or exactly what the tenets are.
I have visited Tibet several times, those nineteen century descriptions of the Tibetan society is indeed funny especially considering how patriarchal Tibet actually is in the year 2017.
