  1. Out of curiosity, can't men be role models for your daughter? Why should gender/sex matter at all for a role model? To be fair though, with respect to politicians, there aren't really any good role models, male or female.
  2. Updated computer from Win7 to Win10. I regret it already.

      You were warned...

      Win8 to 10 was definitely a good thing.

  3. To be fair, everyone's assumption was that Trump wouldn't win the primary. So I don't think assumptions are very useful way to argue that she didn't win due to sex.
  4. Looking at the popular vote results again... maybe the gap was large enough that sex wasn't the deciding factor. Probably made the difference of a few percentage points, at least.
  5. Again, the race was really close. If there were a bigger discrepancy, sex wouldn't have been the deciding factor.
  6. Obviously there were other factors in play, but given how close the race was, it probably made the difference.
  7. There are lots of people voting for Hillary Clinton because she is female and there is a fair sized movement that it's time for a woman. For most of Hillary Clinton's career, being female was a disadvantage. But for this election it's an advantage. Being female is political advantage nowadays, be it Canada, USA, Germany, etc.
  8. Do you think that if Bernie Sanders were female and Hillary Clinton were male, that Bernie Sanders would have not won the primary?
  9. No. Minimizing your energy requirements means killing yourself. Anything less than dead requires energy to sustain.
  10. I find wind turbines are much more beautiful than ugly nature. Wonderful symbol of progress.
  11. So as it is, it's legal for a woman to have sex with an animal, but not legal for a man to have sex with an animal. Yet another sexist double standard.
  12. Milo Yiannopolous permabanned from twitter because of tweets other people made.

      Totally unfair! It's like holding David Duke responsible for the actions of his Klansmen!

      Doesn't it make more sense to ban people based on tweets they make, as opposed to ban people based on tweets other people make?

  13. Given that Erdogan now has complete control of Turkey. Any information coming from Turkey is unreliable.
  14. This whole thing is too suspicious. What kind of a coup only lasts a few hours and only contains 3000 troops in a country of 75 million? ISIS has 10 times that many troops. Why would the people who performed the coup attempt it if they had no ability to succeed... unless they were fed false information by someone who would benefit from a failed coup? Who benefits the most from this failed coup? Erdogan. It wouldn't surprise me if Erdogan caused the whole thing.
  15. Complaining? The original game series were pretty decent for their time. You can beat the game in under 2 hours if you try hard enough and get lucky:
  16. Why not just have a proportional house of commons? Then you will have more diverse perspectives represented.
  17. The house of commons can study bills and make changes before they are passed. Don't need a senate for that.
  18. Failed coup will give Erdogan the excuse he needs to take absolute control of the country and turn it into a facist state.
  19. Turkish Military Coup... Wow.

      When a member of NATO goes through a civil war, what is the role of NATO?

      We all go to civil war.

      It's all over but the hangings

  20. It can block essentially all legislation it wants. Historically it hasn't done that because historically it's been filled with party hacks by the prime minister, so usually the party in power of the senate is the same as the party in power in the HoC. If you want more study, why don't you instead use the money wasted on the senate on universities and fund universities to do more studies? That is more cost effective.
  21. Yep. The West should have never intervened against the Islamic State when it started growing in 2013. Instead they should have let it grow until our so called 'allies', Turkey and Saudi Arabia had to deal with it. Then all the islamists can take each other out and the West wouldn't be in huge debt nor targeted.
  22. I don't remember Japanese terrorist attacks occurring on the west after WW2.
  23. Oh wow that's even better! First appoint your friends. Then perform a constitutional change so that your friends can never be removed by future governments and that your friends get to appoint other friends when they retire.
