Odd choice of words given that you seem to think men should kill themselves if they can't get into university.

Men choosing not to go to university because they have alternatives is a bit different from women not going to university because they were discouraged or prevented from doing so as was the case in years past. If you didn't think women not going to university was a problem, why do you think men not going to university is? Maybe you can explain because the guy who wrote the piece in your op sure can't.

You're 10 ply bud.

Why are you so soft? Take some responsibility for a change you wuss.

Or they could go to university, or college, do a trade, start a small business, get a job, travel, take up a meaningful hobby... IDK why men choosing to be worthless pieces of shit is women's fault.

You can tell he's in a STEM field because he's a horrible writer. Maybe he should have spent less time padding his word count with so many cliches and pointless anecdotes and more time advancing a decent argument about why he thinks the shift in gender distribution in higher ed is a bad thing other than "it will make it harder to get dates." What a bucket of slop.

Stay down.

Stay down dude, it's embarassing.

More Big Tech censoring of information to help sway an election. Former President Trump’s campaign worked with Elon Musk’s X to prevent links to hacked campaign materials from circulating on the social media platform last month, according to The New York Times.

You're literally retarded.

wait a minute:

I know who you remind me of! It's Bruce McCulloch's character in this classic KITH sketch. Stay down ya frig.

lol still pushing this horseshit huh. Let's see his posts.

LOl you just can't quit can you? You just have to have the last word even if it makes you look ever more retarded and pathetic. More projection from our resident IMAX. My arguments are undefeated as anyone reading this thread can see. Sorry you suck. No one said otherwise, not sure why you keep blathering about that. This doesn't make sense at all least of all because Lee doesn't represent America; he represents a failed rebellion against it. LOL Classic coping mechanism from a snivelling chickenshit and always a sign you've been whipped.

If you look at the chart you will see it is, in fact, very close to where it was pre-Biden. If grocery prices are staying up while inflation itself is going down then there's something else at work, like corporations being unwilling to actually lower their prices and reduce their profit margins after consumers got used to paying more.

And yet you're incapable of doing so. You can't marshal evidence or facts, so you have to lie. It's pitiful. The specific statues in question? Absolutely. I demonstrated the Lee statues and Confederate statues in general were part of an organized effort to celebrate the Confederacy and promote the Lost Cause narrative and you had no response. Never argued that, there you go with your sad little strawmen again. Pathetic. What does it say about you that you think my arguments are stupid but you can't counter them without making shit up? lmao LOL it's clear this is just another self-serving lie you're telling to save face, but it actually makes you look even sadder and more chickenshit. Sure that's why the statues all depict him as a General of the Confederacy: because they are commemorating all the great things he did before and after the war. You really are a deeply dumb person. Again, no one is going to take charges of "rewriting history" seriously coming from someone who has repeatedly demonstrated a total ignorance of basic historical facts.

I don't have to pretend, you fraud. Arguments, proper arguments, are supposed to include evidence to support them. You've stated your premises and then as evidence you...repeat them. And that's why you lost. Loser. You didn't "demonstrate" anything. You made a whole bunch of claims, with next to no supporting evidence, and I've debunked each and everyone of them with actual sources, facts and logic. You can cry and whine all you want but it's all here in this thread for all to see. But by all means: continue to double down on your childish stupidity. LOL of course you're doing that shit you always do where, rather than actually defend your arguments or provide quality supporting evidence, you simply repeat them like a magical incantation. Sorry son, that shit doesn't work. So why are you doing that? LOL imagine thinking this sticks when your entire performance in this thread makes Pickett's Charge look like a masterstroke.

"Debunked" implies you've made some semblance of an argument with evidence to back it up, but you've done no such thing. All you've brought to the table is some crank's book and repurposing a source i provided that proves you wrong. LOL of course you're doing that shit you always do where, rather than actually defend your arguments or provide quality supporting evidence, you simply repeat them like a magical incantation. Sorry son, that shit doesn't work. This is cope. Anyone reading this thread will see who there is one person who marshalled sources and provided concrete arguments and it ain't you. You are an utter fraud and a loser.

The grossly unfair distribution of Senate seats isn't enough for these places?

Well, you were proven wrong, but if you lie to everyone else, why not yourself. It's pretty plain that your claim that I said Communist was Trump's favourite insult was incorrect: it was a different poster that did that. But it is funny that you're so addicted to contrarianism and your ego is so fragile you can't even admit that in the face of the proof. And there's no record of that either. Keep digging loser. You posted a link to an article about a book you have not read that claimed to have evidence that has been thoroughly debunked. That you think that kind of garbage is in any way convincing says a lot about your biases and gullibility. It's the only one they mention. Not taxes, not tariffs, only the "encroachments" relating to slavery. Yes they didn't want the North to tell them they couldn't keep slaves. That's the issue according to the seceding slave states. Yes: in order to maintain slavery in their states, not for shits and giggles. As one Southern newspaper wrote in 1864: "Our doctrine is this: WE ARE FIGHTING FOR INDEPENDENCE THAT OUR GREAT AND NECESSARY DOMESTIC INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY SHALL BE PRESERVED, and for the preservation of other institutions of which slavery is the groundwork." I dunno why you think posting the same thing I already posted that proves that South Carolina was seceding because of slavery is a gotcha. Ah so you do concede that slavery was the motivating factor. I accept your surrender. LOl you would say that but you're wrong and everyone can see it. You failed to provide evidence that supported your claims and instead provided evidence that supported mine. Because you are a huge screwup. You seem to have the impression that simply posting a link is "providing evidence" regardless of whether the information accurate or actually supports your argument, but I assure you that's not how it works. No, they represent a man in a specific role at a specific time, as a General of the Confederate Army. Here's a contemporaneous description of the unveiling of the Lee statue in Richmond Virginia: “The boxes were decorated with bunting and Confederate Flags. On every hand could be seen the ‘Stars and Bars.’ Nowhere in all this procession was there a United States flag. The emblem of the union had been left behind…a glorification of the lost cause was everywhere manifest.” From the New York Times: "While in no place in the land are the people more loyal to the Federal flag and the Union than in this city, it has been suggested, and meets with approval of many, that on the occasion of the unveiling of the statue here to Gen. Robert E. Lee on May 29 the bands should play exclusively the airs popular to the Southern people during the war. At this occasion is a memorial one to the great commander in chief of the Confederate armies, it is contended that all the surroundings of the day should harmonize with the period in which Gen. Lee won his fame." No one has said otherwise. Anyone reading this thread can see what my argument actually is so you continuing to spew this sad little strawman argument is just so pathetic and really shows what a feeble debater you are.

Lol yeah good luck with that.

Sorry you can't handle being proven wrong. Given how often it happens you should probably work on managing your emotions about it better. Nope. Again here's what I said: "The slaves were never property of Mary Todd Lincoln or Abraham Lincoln. The most you can say is they may have profited from the sale of slaves, but that assumes they received any money from the deal and there's no evidence of that either." Can't traffic in something you don't own. LOL you couldn't provide any actual evidence for Lincoln owning slaves and now you're trying a different tack but you still can't help but being wrong. You must have a humiliation fetish. LOL it literally says "slaveholding states" there and then when they go into detail about their main beef it says this: It's slavery all the way down. Those "encroachments" were entirely about slavery, specifically the refusal of some states to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and the federal government's perceived role in attempting to abolish slavery. It says so right there in the declarations of secession. All roads here lead back to slavery. Yeah, states rights to practice slavery, which was the root cause of the conflict, which is exactly what the southern states said when they seceded. Not sure why I should take your word over theirs. Proved? You've never offered any evidence at all! The only citation you ever provided was regarding lebensraum, which your own source proved was rooted in the ideology of German racial supremacy. You've completely failed to do anything but spout your own opinion and pretend it's fact. The Nazi ideology was rooted in racial supremacy and almost every thing they did flowed from those beliefs. LOL phenomenally stupid take. They had already seceded over slavery, war was inevitable from that point. You're flailing so bad here you've lost the ability to type coherently lmao. Every beef the South had with the North was connected to slavery and you can't provide any examples otherwise. Nope, there you go again, declaring victory when all you've done is shit yourself repeatedly. The statues have nothing to do with his post war achievements, whatever they were. They were placed there to honour his role as a defender of slavery. It's no more complicated than that. See this is another reason why you're an absolute joke. You refuse to actually engage people's ideas or viewpoints and instead tilt at strawmen. But given how poorly you do when you actually have to engage with people's ideas and support your own, it's not really a surprise, but it is pretty pathetic.

It tilts the playing field, but it tilts it to your side so you don't care.

Our system still makes more sense than the EC. Again: no shit, but we're talking about the U.S. system and its flaws, try to keep up old man.
