    All nut jobs are not posting crazy talk on-line. This is just more of the people in power getting worried that the shit they are up to coming out and there being a revolt, this is revolt prevention.

    It's tragic what this gunner did and I don't believe he had that right reasons to do what he did. One day however, if all the dirty laundry comes out, people might have a reason to force a new vote, and disrupt the governments ability to tamper with it. Naturally the government will be opposed to this, and people will protest / try to stop the government.

    They want their finger on all of that so they can keep putting in 'security measures' so they can quickly silence legitimate protests and a legitimate revolution over the way the government operates.

    Yes, I don't actually enjoy games that have respawn nearly as much as ones that don't, or have expensive consequences.

    E.G I love Eve online, losing a ship is expensive, it doesn't respawn, you have to buy another one, full cost. Except if your alliance helps you out.

    Or games like diablo 3, hard core mode only.

    P.S It's fucking bullshit to just pick out data you want so you can label people misogynists.

    If there did actual scientific research into human biological, genetic capabilities and so on to do a study if women are better in the kitchen, there would be such an outrage over it, people would go blind with hatred, regardless of the results. No actually, if the results confirmed that women were genetically dispositioned to be better home makers / do cleaning / kitchen work on average, people would react a whole ton worse, even if the research was 100000000% unbiased and accurate, throwing feminists into a super frenzy, and it would just transfer from science directly into pure male hatred.

    You would be hated for being right. So little evidence to support the assertion that women are better at cooking is what you'll always have as no one who wants a career and a peaceful life would ever consider that study.

    "Men can run faster than women" is not sexist"

    Actually it is. Not all men can run faster than all women, and not all women can run faster than all men.
    So what you said, is actually 100% sexist.

    Some men are great in the kitchen, some women suck in the kitchen. Vice versa.

    If you want to get into biology and genetics, it would be correct to say, "On average, the average man in good health without special training or efforts may run faster or be stronger than the average women in the same conditions" could be correct, for averages. However there are women genetically predispositioned to be faster and stronger than the average man. Taller, etc, whatever trait you want.

    True, and no women has had to worry about getting someone pregnant. So there are a few biological differences like that.

    But equality is talking about social equality, not the biologicaldifferences or equality.
    Tasks that humans in society have come up with that are beyond our biological designs.

    In biology, men are designed on average to be stronger and faster than a women, but that doesn't stop a women from being stronger and faster than a man
    In fact, based on genetics, some women may naturally be faster and stronger without additional effort.
    However on average it will take effort to surpass this

    It's pure discrimination. It was widely known that physiologically and psychologically a woman is better suited for space flights

    A statement like 'Women are physiologically and psychologically better suited to cooking" is sexist

    But you think what you said isn't discrimination? Holy shit, ignorant feminist minority alert.

    Discrimination that likely happened back then is really sad and unfortunate, however saying "Let's fix this and make things proper, and equal, as women are superior" is dumb as shit.

    Some men are complete air heads and shouldn't be trusted with a toaster, some women don't know how to tell time on an analog clock.
    The opposite is also true. The concept of gender equality is that, some men will be amazing at task A, some women will be amazing at task a.

    Some men will be terrible at task A, some women will be terrible at task A.
    Individually people are different, some better some worse regardless of gender and people need to start recognizing that.

    It's so ignorant when people think that they can rally the support of decent people under the banner of equality, then think they can abuse it, and do the reverse, abuse men, and then they'll still have the support to do it.

    It won't happen. The only reason women were treated better and gained equal rights is because back when men held all the power, there were men who were not ignorant and recognized that a women is just as capable as a man, and therefore could influence the other men in power to open their eyes,

    And I'm not saying it wasn't without an amazing effort by women before anyone tries to turn it into that. What I am saying, if you can remove yourself from your gender ego issues, is that "Without support from the people in power, the people not in power would not have been able to get the changes to occur."

    Also before someone tries some ignorant but the people not in power do control it like how we vote with the government.
    No! The people have the power, and anything the government does is by using our combined power based on our votes, we can also strip them of the use of our power. (our being gender neutral here)

    Yeah I don't think "trolling" is the term of what they need t go after.

    Trolling is making a comment to annoy people, I think if it's a general comment, normal trolling, they should back off. If you're directly going after someone, it's not "trolling" anymore, it's a personal attack. That should be an entirely differnent law then some anti-trolling law.

    Personal attacks on public media has never been an acceptable practice, you can't keep going on air somewhere and targeting someone, that's harassment.
    Doing it on the internet isn't some unknown ground, it's the same thing and the same laws should apply.

    If your putting yourself up on the internet, expect some trolls or comments you don't like, you can't outlaw that, but if they start following you around everywhere you go online and doing it, it becomes a personal attack.

    Imagine if you went on different talk shows. If someone in the audiance didn't like you, said something intentionally to infuriorate you, is that illegal trolling? No.

    If someone went to every talk show you participate on, to do the same thing, is that a personal attack and that person is harassing you? Yes.
    We have laws for that already. Fucking use them properly.
