Shuttle Discovery Lands Safely
Tuxedo Jack writes "CNN and NASA report that the space shuttle Discovery has landed safely at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Concerns for its safe return were raised when spacewalks were necessary to repair the vehicle when external components were damaged; however, the shuttle landed safely with Commander Eileen Collins at the control yoke."
how does stating my opinion and source constitute "spreding bullshit all over the place"?
get a clue.
and are still threatened with religious wackos cutting off access to healthcare services.
Any basis for this charge?
have you watched the news lately? we just had a supreme court nomination, and one of the key issues was (and still is) ABORTION.
there's lots of politicians and lobbyists who'd like to see a woman's right to choose taken away, yeah... there's a LOT of basis for that charge
May you be touched by His Noodly Appendage. RAmen.

women talk to much !
>> Lots of real estate that is completely devoid of terrorists.
True, until someone decides to become one. Or do you have a way of spotting them?
Funniest thing I've seen all week.
Mods, please mod parent +1 DickHead.
women still suffer plenty of discrimination in the workplace, are underpaid relative to men doing the same job with the same experience, and are still threatened with religious wackos cutting off access to healthcare services. Women are still underrepresented in the top levels of government and industry.
Why would anyone mod this as insightful? An explanation of the reason for this condition would be more insightful. The major cause is rank and seniority. When these are factored in, most of the differences disappear.
The remaining difference is cause by a greater portion of women valuing family over career. If you want to have a high-achieving career, you have to choose it over your family. It's really this simple. But lefty types don't like to discuss actual causes or self-selected "victims"; they only like to point out how terribly "wrong" things are. Though, they don't seem to be crying over the horrendous underrepresentation of men in the child-care and nursing professions? It doesn't seem to be an "equality" thing; lots of people just hate men.
Your armed forces?, you mean those that get paid to go shot kids in Irak?, Yes, really brave.
WTF am I doing replying to an AC at 5 A.M on a Friday night?
Wasn't Captain Janeway the first female starship captain or something like that? She managed to get her ship and whole crew hopelessly lost, didn't she?
Oh wait... Yeah. Well, anyways.
