Well, so what if? We really have outgrown the need to produce as many offspring as possible by now. This dirt-ball is overcrowded, and individual freedoms and growth rightfully is viewed much more important in progressive societies than producing the next generation.
Yes, thats why the population of Muslims in Europe is growing and the population of native Europeans is shrinking. He who is represented in the gene pools of the future is he who has won. Freedom is irrelevant; live free, have no children, lose the future.
We have children to colonise, dominate and exploit the future. The human race is on a journey, its supposed to be from the bestial to the superhuman. So long as bestial humans outbreed the civilised humans the future is lost, the human race is lost and instead of our descendants being to us as we are to the apes, our descendants will be a mockery of the apes.
No I haven't, because one of the biggest MTV prank shows is filmed in Texas. But oh yeah: everyone is afraid of your peashooter. I'm sure you will be protecting us all real soon now.
Dunno... if I were in one of those 'stand your ground' states and had a firearm and some fucker came up to me and slapped me while his pal filmed it, I'd feel pretty safe shooting them both in the guts.
"Officer, I honestly felt my life was in danger". "Yep, nothin' to see here, move along."
Just like the people who created Borat should have been jailed.
Harassment and abuse are never ok.
There are a lot of other videos like these also. I saw one where a woman went in public deliberately with her ass showing, then filmed guys reacting to it and she confronted them to embarrass them and accuse them of being perverts.
There are a lot of sick creeps out there. I think the movie Borat unleashed a lot of this.
I think there is some truth in it. In societies with a high gender gap, women are typically taught to be good mothers when men are more career-oriented. This not only make good mothers but also keep couples together because there is a real necessity since they have different roles. In societies with a low gender gap both women and men do the same thing. And in western societies where career is often more highly regarded than families values, there will be more and more career women and less and less good mothers. Problem is, the reverse is not true for men : they are still expected to be career oriented rather than become good fathers. And because both parents can function independently, there is less insensitive for them to stay together. Just look at what kind of example we give for "progressive" societies : almost always career women, almost never stay-at-home fathers. This is not a progressive society, this is a productivity oriented society with little regard for the family.
Indeed, just look at Japan with its non-progressive system and many stay-at-home mums with dads who spend an average 15 minutes a day with their kids... Thats not being a good dad.
My point was that for people who are bound to be at the top of the middle class payscales, they would be made to contribute far more to the state treasury than their own costs pull out.
If the GP poster had referred to a family of janitors, it wouldn't be so. But he/she said engineers.....
The family of janitors would require at least 3 janitors working for every one child in daycare. It would be more effective to have one stay-at-home janitor and the rest working.
This is where things break down badly; the 'entitled', middle classes have so little idea how the low-end of the pay-scale lives they think their 'engineer' lifestyles give them some kind of insight into how society functions.
Poverty in places like the US and Canada is just fucking massively worse than the poverty in any European country, maybe except some Eastern European countries, the extreme ends of which which still wouldn't be as bad as the extreme ends of poverty in Canada. This is why Bob Geldof can criticize Canada for not being ambitious enough in its foreign aid spending; because he imagines Canadian poverty to be about the same as Irish or British poverty.
Disclosure; my wife is from one such non-progressive cultures. She is a terrible cook, a terrible wife and a terrible mother. She is also terrible at math. And ugly.
As ability to leave a marriage that isn't woking is encapsulated under "progressive" the stability of a marriages does not make a very good metric for evaluating the quality of the members of said marriage as wives/husbands, let alone parents as a function of progressivness.
You're likely to get terrible marriages that drag on because divorce is stigmatized, or financially untenable, showing up as false positives when measuring stability.
yeah but people call a marriage 'not working' for much more minor things. Its related to the culture of entitlement, laziness and generally being special snow flakes.
While I wish no harm upon Bill Gates - in spite of being vehemently anti-Microsoft myself - I don't see what Al-Qaeda could expect to accomplish by killing him. He stepped down how many years ago from the top of Microsoft? This seems about as logical as watching too many reruns of ER and then deciding to kill George Clooney to harm our health care system.
They just don't think laterally enough. Economy depends on infrastructure and governance and some key businesses supported by that infrastructure and governance.
- How much does Apple help the US economy? What happens to Apple if someone were to kill off their entire security team? - There are less than a dozen locations in the USA where you could effectively take out the US Internet. - How about making the main deep water harbors unusable? - Dress up as cops and shoot a bunch of militia guys in one place, a bunch of black guys in another place and a bunch of hispanic guys in another place. The USA is a powder keg of armed opposing factions. A serious opponent of the USA would take advantage of this. You can bet the Russians and Chinese have plans in place for this. Al Qaida not so much. - And if they really wanted to fuck America, they could take out Bernie AND Hillary, leaving Trump the only candidate with any chance of becoming president.
You sound like a reactionary who's desperately hoping that the terrible traditions that marginalized half of our species are beneficial. Hint:They're not, and there's no value in preserving harmful traditions.
Disclosure; my wife is from one such non-progressive cultures. She is a terrible cook, a terrible wife and a terrible mother. She is also terrible at math. And ugly.
In terms of evangelical conservative views, of course they make terrible wives and mothers, because they actually want to do something other than be in the kitchen or on their backs. Girls in those types of households are not going to do well at math because they are expected to learn specific roles, that do not include it.
Personally I would take an engineering wife.
Half of your combined salary will go on childcare.
Non-progressive societies don't encourage girls to do things like science and math in the first place, they expect them to adopt 'traditional female roles'.
Should do a comparative study of marriage stability as well!
Perhaps women from such progressive cultures make terrible mothers and wives, perhaps men from such progressive cultures make terrible husbands and fathers...
Meanwhile the U.S. Marine Corps has discovered half their computers unexpectedly can't remotely upgrade to Windows 10, slowing their transition to what they expect to be a much more secure operating system.
Why would they expect it to be *more* secure - 'cause 10 is higher than 7 and 8?
Just wait until Windows 11 comes out! The Spinal Tap OS!
I know my way around Windows, and I declined every Windows 10 upgrade prompt, only to wake up one morning sitting at the Windows 10 registration screen. This shit *does* happen, but for whatever reason, doesn't seem to affect every installation equally.
Based on my recent experience trying to do a clean install of Windows 10, it's extremely buggy, far beyond any previous version. It's almost as if the installer contains a random number generator that generates a different problem with each installation. Same computer, same installation media, different problem each time.
Thats the reverse of my experience. Windows 10 has been very consistent and on most of the computers I've installed it on its been better than anything else. On the one computer it won't install on its pretty consistent.
The real question is whether computers running 7, 8, and 8.1 can be downgraded to XP in a dual-boot or virtual machine scenario with another OS that doesn't try to p0wn your computer.
And a lot of complaints as those XP / Vista machines struggle to boot due to lack of drivers.
That would true for Windows XP-certified computers, but not for Windows Vista-certified computers. I rebuilt my computer nine years ago for Windows Vista. I had no problems upgrading to Windows 7/8/8.1/10. For older devices that don't have a Windows 10 driver, I manually install the Windows Vista driver to get them working again.
One quirk I've encountered is a laptop, which came with Windows 7 SP1. Last year I noticed it had a Windows 10 upgrade available, so I installed the upgrade and it was fine. Then there was a Windows 10 update and the laptop could no longer boot. I took it back to Windows 7 (from the factory reset partition) and it was fine, still had the Windows 10 upgrade available. The other week I took a backup and tried the Windows 10 upgrade again. It couldn't get through the upgrade, rebooted itself, Windows rolled it back to Windows 7.
The surprising thing about this is that it DID WORK! And then it stopped working...
So what if the data was copied in Europe. It was LEGALLY obtained from a server in Oklahoma. Are YOU stupid?
The data may be legally obtained, but under EU law its what the data is then used for that counts; the users gave consent for a specific use for that data. If the, legally obtained data is then used for other purposes without explicit permission of the users then its illegal and EU law kicks in. Its nothing to do with OK cupid, they are not the infringer, hence the location of the data doesn't matter on this just the location of the infringer and user.

Or you could just slap a girls ass for a prank

and get taken down by said girl.
She even helps him to get up. Then kicks him again.
Wow, you are _really_ fucked in the head.
But I'm having children. If you aren't then the future is mine! Mwahahahaaa
"It would be more effective to have one stay-at-home janitor and the rest working."
Most use an unlicensed daycare, or start one.
It's stunning to me that it can cost $2k/mo to keep a child in daycare, but early childhood educators earn $40-$50k.
In North America my guess would be that the majority of the cost of childcare would be liability insurance.
I don't understand how what you call "hate speech" can be a crime.
I don't think 'hate speech' should be a crime, its ridiculous. But if you are going to have 'hate speech' laws, let them be applied even handedly!

You should hear what she says about you.
I do. All the fucking time.

Al-Qaeda's the Jeb Bush of terrorist orgs. Once respected, they coasted for too long, grew fat and lazy and lost their edge.
Like Jeb Bush, Al-Qaeda has an excellent donor network to fund future activities.
And, similarly, they will be spending those donations on hookers and blow.
While I wish no harm upon Bill Gates - in spite of being vehemently anti-Microsoft myself - I don't see what Al-Qaeda could expect to accomplish by killing him.

On the other hand, the women from those societies are far better cooks relative to the men. And laundry... my whites have never been so white!
Yeah they should also see if theres a correlation between looks!
The old song... "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife!"
"Man your wifes so ugly"
"Yeah she's ugly. But she sure can cook!"

The laptop is a Sony Vaio.
My inexpensive Dell laptop had no problem upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10. However, I did replace the 2GB RAM module with an 8GB RAM module.
Yeah well it is almost like running Java; Q) How much RAM does this application need? A) How much can you physically install in the box?
Meanwhile the U.S. Marine Corps has discovered half their computers unexpectedly can't remotely upgrade to Windows 10, slowing their transition to what they expect to be a much more secure operating system.

Just wait until Windows 11 comes out! The Spinal Tap OS!
Fortunately, the law here doesn't allow such clauses. You can't give up your rights with a contract, let alone a dubious EULA.
Yeah most places don't let you contract out of the law. Otherwise contract killings would, uh, make a killing!

The person willfully exported their data to a server in the US. Kind of useless to lock the barn door after the horse is gone.
Ah but the researchers then downloaded the data to their servers in Denmark.
