You also didn't get it. The OP wasn't suggesting that generalizations should be used in specific situations; instead, he was suggesting that when we look at the makeup of an entire career field, instead of being fixated on why a particular group is underrepresented we should just make sure they are not being prejudiced against.
I seem to remember an episode of Star Trek where they ended up in the armpit of space such that they couldn't get a Federation navigation signal. They used pulsar triangulation to get a fix on their location.
Now, of course, implementation of this theory in the 21st century is a different matter!
I'm sure that's why Muslims blew up the underground some years back-- it's because those crazy imperialist in the UK won't get out of Northern Ireland or something.
No, it's because of scholarly attention to detail and faithful transmission unlike any other documents in history. But don't let your unschooled atheism and teenage angst get in the way of a reasoned discussion.
How many countries have cameras on every street corner?
How many countries give their police full automatic weapons, but won't let the citizens have a pump-action shotgun in their house?
How many countries outlaw religious garb because some terrorists wear it?
How many countries kick you off your farm, tell you where to work and live, and execute you if you speak out about it?
How many countries can stop and search you for no reason whatsoever?
In how many countries can the police come into your house at any time and demand you list everyone who lives there, who they are related to, where they work, and what vehicles they drive?
You are a fucking idiot who can't read. He has been to 38 countries. Maybe once you move out of your parents' basement, you'll learn it's perfectly valid for other people not to have the same opinion you do.
Since you're blaming this boomer for every government that existed while he was alive, I'll hold you personally responsible for what Obama is doing-- OK?
I'm not sure why you think it's immoral to legally collect one's entitlement. I can't help but notice that all the celebrities and politicians who say taxes should be higher still take all the deductions they can on their returns. I'd take the SS too, and donate great heaps of money to charities. The government is not a charity.
A lot of them had their retirement in 401Ks that were mismanaged, and had too much risk. If they continued to hold, their funds have now recovered only slightly above 2009 levels and thus they could be five years behind what they expected to have.
Obama's the one who has, unilaterally and probably unconstitutionally, removed employer requirements from the bill and waived hundreds of companies. It was the Supreme Court that determined the Federal government couldn't make states run exchanges. No Republicans need be involved. And your blaming it on racism is childish and stupid.
Gas was less than $2 a gallon in 2008-- a mere 5 years ago. About $1.70 in my area, as I recall. Now we're used to the new economy, and the ruling elite wants us to think it's always been this way.
They'll just monitor you through the on-board camera and cite you for public intoxication-- or any other laws they decide you've broken. Then they'll make the car drive you to jail.
For those of us who used consistent, reliable, powerful command lines under OpenVMS and (mostly) intuitive GUIs under windows, moving to Linux is not a positive.
Correct. I, myself, think it's immoral if you absolutely know your sub is compromising safety in order to meet your requirements. But if you submit a proposal and they accept, it's expected that they should deliver. It's their responsibility to determine what they can handle.

You still don't get it, and neither do the mods.

Thanks for adding a lot of stupidity to this discussion, AC. Your atheist beliefs add nothing to the discussion.

We need more cameras so we can be as free as the UK.
We need more firearm legislation, so we can be as free as Australia.
We need more limits on encryption and religion, so that we can be as free as France.

Seriously. This guy needs to be spending more time unwinding on the golf course, throwing golf clubs at people.
Really, none of what you said made any sense.
That's great if drinking coffee is your hobby, as opposed to something you do while you do other stuff.
Ah, the fascism trope. Holy hyperbole, Batman!
The OSHA hotline is 1-800-321-OSHA.
The workers are already paid by the hour, and again I ask you: what makes you think this is a job for government? Adults should make safe decisions.
Correct. I, myself, think it's immoral if you absolutely know your sub is compromising safety in order to meet your requirements. But if you submit a proposal and they accept, it's expected that they should deliver. It's their responsibility to determine what they can handle.
That would be a problem if you tested it by wetting your chest and placing the leads across your heart, I guess.
