...and that the recycling process is how plutonium is extracted. That's why Jimmy Carter stopped the recycling of fuel rods in the US and had everything shipped to Yucca mountain instead.
It's because of bigots like you that guys like me feel feminism still needs to exist. Same goes for affirmative action.
The simple rule is to treat others as you'd want to be treated. Period. How often do you hear about women having too much power? Never by sane people. How many females are on boards of directors? Way too few. Do women have way more obstacles to overcome just to do well at work? You bet your ass they do. Of course men "don't talk and bitch about it" because they have no idea how poorly women can be treated.
I know women to this day who are seen more as sex objects than colleagues and never taken seriously at work, even though they happen to be smarter than many of the others in the room. They are often ignored or 'mansplained to' (Wikipedia). Women (and men) actually ARE doing something productive about it by informing the ignorant that women generally have it rougher than men.
As for life being unfair, I agree with you, but not with the word 'sometimes'. Being a woman on earth means 'almost every time' life is unfair, and I don't see why that should be the status quo nor why we shouldn't set a high standard of conduct for ourselves to resolve that.
By the way, why is calling a locker room full of guys 'ladies' or something based on the feminine like 'bitching' derogatory , while telling women to 'man up' supposed to mean to strive for better?
I don't see why the burden of action should be on those who are subjugated to unfair behaviour. Why isn't it up to men to stop being jerks?
TFA says 7 meters - which is still 30% smaller than what you quote. 30% off a hiroshima bomb is a lot. Not to mention that the composition of the object has quite an effect as well.
I'm going to let a source that carries a little more weight to, well, weigh in on it.
A radio personality named Dr. Laura Schlessinger, an orthodox jew, once said on her show that homosexuality was an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and could not be condoned under any circumstance. "Why Can't I Own A Canadian is the title of
the letter in response to her comments.
Neither GM nor Chrysler will "get it".
Why should they?
They have governed by finance pros instead of by engineers.
I'm an engineer, and the marketing department at my company will always get over double the budget of my design dept. This is normal, and simply a question of marketing. It has nothing to do with any mismanagement of GM at all, actually.
Seth Godin's blog, although usually vague and general, gives a bit of insight into this matter.
Moral of the story: People don't buy what's best, people buy what they want. GM is just providing an option to cater to something people would want, and making good money doing it. It's not like they were sacrificing any performance for the add-on. If anything, they're managing their resources even better by doing this.
Call it naivety on my part, but am I the only one worried about National governments studying the Iranian uprising, in search of countermeasures to YouTube and Twitter?
Judging from various crowd control measures being implemented (such as 50,000 volt riot shields, I'm sure there is an interest in figuring out a way around everything people are doing in Iran. I can easily see the physical destruction of a website's servers to be on the top of a government contingency plan. Cut power to Twitter's servers? Done.
I hate conspiracy theories, and am looking for anyone to tear me apart on this one.
Finally, condom manufacturers should offer more variance with respect to sizes. My favorite kind, Trojan Large, have been discontinued. The Magnums are too large for my weenie and regulars are too tight.
I always thought the "Magnum" sizes were the same size as "Large", but that they just changed the name to make average sized dudes feel good about themselves when condom shopping.
"I guess I'm just too huge and need the Magnum size, that cost $4 more per box".

He might get sued for that.

I can just see it now: "No way. They actually bought into the report? - SWEET!"
