    which is why the gold standard was a primitive idea that was abandoned.

    BULLSHIT. It was abandoned by the US because they refused to pay their financial obligations. It's a familiar fucking story you lying sack of shit.

    4. I was tired of people who shove energy efficiency in everyone's faces without considering that most people are perfectly fine with consuming extra energy so long as it improves their quality of life (including, but not limited to, displaying pretty pictures).

    I live completely off grid and it is surprising just how little electricity one really needs. Annually I average about 5.5KW a day and my quality of life is just fine. Don't get me wrong I agree with you.

    This of course assumes they can get in the door to see the necessary people and convince them it actually works.

    This is an extremely valid point. Many years ago I worked out and mocked up a working model of a device capable of containing oceanic oil spills. It is easy, relatively cheap and all of the recovered oil can be easily sold as it is in no way tainted by its experiences. I couldn't find a single person anywhere who was prepared to listen.

    It would be sad if the reason women are underrepresented in IT is because they are actually smarter than men and know what to avoid in their own best interests. Feminism seems to kick a lot of own goals so it wouldn't surprise me.

    We do ask why, a lot of what we've seen implies early childhood cultural factors. But it would be a lot easier on the relatively simple-minded to assume girls are just different.

    There's absolutely no difference at all. I heard that last week a bunch of girls where comparing their penis sizes to see who was the biggest girl.

    Where's the big push to get men working grade-school teachers

    Even if there was men would not get involved. Men are getting out of the teaching profession quick smart as they are realising just how easy it is to be destroyed by feminism's thought processes. It is happening and to such an extent that some male teachers have started recording their classes as they have been at the wrong end of accusations far too many times.
    ie: male teacher gives Sally a D and one week later poor innocent little Sally tells school Counselor that Mr X is always brushing up against her and 'accidentally' touching her breast too often for it to be an accident.
