  1. Re: Supply and Demand on Research Suggests 'CS For All' May Mean Lower Pay For All · · Score: 1

    Really? Guess that's why there's tens of thousands of lawsuits under various "equal pay acts" you know, the legislation that was put in place over 50 years ago in every western country that makes it illegal to payscale workers based on sex/race/etc. Nope, guess there aren't.

    The only thing that AMA proves it that women don't negotiate for pay as aggressively as men.

    There is no pay gap. There's an earning gap and it's based off of individual choices.

    My guess is that you don't have many female friends, you know, those batshit crazy feminists shivering over on the other side of the office who dare not speak up because of... well, you know... YOU.

    My guess is you don't know much of anything. Those "batshit crazy feminists" don't actually work or last long in the world I work in(you know a world where merit and ability are required). To top it off, those women are generally apathetic to feminists in the west or wholly against feminists in the west because they're batshit insane. Funny that you tried to blame me, for their own level of shitiness though. You must be a really great beta male(or would you prefer numale).

    In any case we're no more responsible for their behaviour than moderate righties are responsible for the KKK or Stormfront, both of which have existed for much longer than Jezebel.

    You know what's funny about that statement? The usual suspects on the left are the ones that like to claim it's the people on the right who are responsible for what the KKK or Stormfront do. Don't think I mentioned Jezebel, though I could have named academia in general.

    when those are your choices you're basically telling us you're too ignorant to realize that you shouldn't have to make bad choices. You're the definition of voter apathy.

    If your choice is to lose an arm or a leg, well maybe you shouldn't have to accept either option.

    When your choices are worse options and even worse options, where one will likely kill you and the other will only cost you an arm...well you're the very definition of someone who would rather let themselves die instead of doing something that would enable themselves to live.

    If you need a definition of apathy, you only need to look in the mirror.

    For the same reason that people find it a bad idea to self-identify as "liberal" or "socialist". Reactionary types have poisoned the word in the popular vernacular.

    I think you mean the regressive left has done a good job of poisoning the word in the popular vernacular. "Reactionary types" didn't even need to they didn't even need to try. The left has done it all on it's own by not controlling the batshit insane element in their midst and in many cases ignoring it or supporting it. The last 6 years have been a fine testament to that. Everything from whining about how "air conditioning is sexist" to whining that any form of disagreement/differing opinion is racist/sexist/homophobic. To making bullshit up to try and paint and tar xyz groups of people as xyz "all types of evil", and the media running with it because it generated views. Then when found out to be fake, ignoring it, or supporting fake hatecrime/assaults/rapes and then circling the wagons while saying "but it was just to start a conversation" as an excuse.

    You don't really have a left wing in the US

    You really don't know what you're talking about. There are plenty of "left wing" groups in the US. In ye olde Regan days it was the precursor to the groups of today. And seriously, if you don't think people like the Black Panthers or people like Bill Ayers weren't left wing you understand less about politics then you think.

    And the media is left wing in the same way that a piece of rocks is left wing, i.e. it's not a raving right wing lunatic.

    Well you might be old enough to remember when the media, and left-wing groups were doing the same thing against Regan. The only thing they did was hand him the presidency, and it looks like they're doing it again. Which is okay with me, since the amount of benefit to Canada that came from his presidency was enormous.

    And considering the amount of stuff up shit's creek these days with the media fawning all over Trudeau Jr., we're going to need all the help we can get. With luck, it'll be enough to head off Jr., from placing wage and price controls like Sr., did.

    What the GP says is correct, he panders to idiots. You may vote for him for other reasons, but his campaign is aimed at idiots who think they can kick all Muslims out or that their lives are being ruined by political correctness.

    So I guess that means Hillary is pandering to the mentally retarded? And her campaign is aimed at allowing unfettered access across the border, as well as ensuring that H1B's rule the day. But considering the number of people who believe that political correctness(or only their speech) is the only way that's allowed I guess so. Especially after the events of moveon.org and her support of shouting down other people.

I blame Political correctness and SJWs for the rise in trump. its the rubber band effect. the side of political correctness has pushed too far, now its bouncing back in the opposite direction where people are starting to relate to trump due to what some see as non political correct and what others call hate speech. It was bound to happen

    And you'd be right. And it's the same reason why Rubio and Cruz lost somewhere around 1m twitter followers between them after they started going off on the "Trump is really the one responsible for what happened in Chicago bit." People are tired of the regressive left doing something, and everyone going "but they're really not to blame...IT'S THE OTHER GUYS...HONEST..." And the second that Kasich decided that the "Illegals are the bestest things evar, and I'm going pro-amnesty" he started dropping in in the polls and losing followers faster then a rock dropping from orbit. People have simply had enough of the establishment pulling this.

    Couple of other examples to back up your point, would be the University of Missouri, and the 20% loss of first year students, the $32m budget shortfall, problems retaining students on campus. Their solution? We're gonna do everything we can to get students in! Tell your friends! The email from the temporary dean even went as far as saying that "anyone who'd applied would be accepted as a student." If that doesn't people what happens when absolute craziness from the regressive left and SJW happen, it should by that point.
