I know it's been fashionable within parts of the Right for a while now to try to change the deffinition of feminism and make it alllll about oppressing us delicate men but let's try to get back to what words really mean.
Full Definition of feminism 1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes 2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests
What if i wouldnt label men complaining about this "misogynist" but more "you have too much time on your hands"? The Alt-Right's crusade to save white males from the horrible persecution we are apparently experiencing feels like Fox News' classic "War on Christmas". Most of the news stories feeding it are a clear case of "if you look hard enough you can find dumb people doing dumb things that verify whatever conspiracy you want to believe". Christmas is still around and us white men are still doing just fine.
Does this mean the Alt-Right has never had a good point on their favorite subject? Absolutly not. I just see stuff like the above as a waste of time to be bothered by. Do I think the Dutch Science Academy should be doing this? I guess not as I do believe very much in merit based success. On the other hand promoting a more female image even by just having a few more women involved in higher positions might help bring more women into the field in general. Right now the scientific community is missing out on a lot of sharp female minds who apparently find this field of work unappealing. So basically, I disagree a bit with what they're doing but I really just dont see it as a very big deal.
No, I did plenty of fact-checking which is why I dont buy his bringing back jobs nonsense. His proposals for bringing jobs back wont be implemented in some bizarre political vacuum where there will be no response. Starting trade wars is a lose-lose for everyone involved and if he starts tearing up trade treaties and putting substantial tariffs on imports that's just what he'll have. The types of manufacturing jobs that once employed large numbers of Americans but are gone now will never be back for one simple reason, labor cost (and that's true with or without NAFTA, it just sped up the inevitable).
The only manufacturing that will return to America without completely destroying our economy in trade wars is that which can be significantly mechanized, which doesnt do a lot to bring jobs back,
Wow, way to change the topic from the race issue. Yes they were certainly talking foreign talent domestically educated staying here. I certainly never suggested otherwise.
Why don't you reread my post and then respond to my actual questions and points.
Oh God, I made a typo! I'm so glad someone as not stupid as you was here to point it out. Your outrage over a typo that really doesnt effect the conversation as one can certainly substitute the correct word in surely proves your non-stupidity. Naming calling is certainly another sure sign of your higher intelligence as everyone knows that someone who pitches a fit and starts name calling over a typo is certainly of a higher intellect. It sure is great that all of us stupids have you around to tell us what's what.
Well sure, if you leave out the parts about race how can it be rascist?
What is the problem with having Asian CEOs? Why does he leave that sentence unfinished? What would finish that sentence that isnt rascist? When he is asked about trying to keep foreign talent how does making obviously exadurated claims in regards to Asian CEO numbers in Silicon Valley, then stopping mid sentence, and then talking about maintaining civil society not sound suspiciously rascist to anyone?
Again, how are the Asians a threat to Civil Society?
What the hell are you talking about? If i let something go bad in my fridge I've wasted it. It doesnt matter if my fridge is full or empty. "Waste" is not some arbitrary term you can just apply as you like. Furthermore, If you're even a few years out of your parents house you have to have noticed the price of food increasing faster than inflation. Beef as an example has had its price go up tremendously in the last decade. This is due to increasing scarcity.
As for your diet, I hope you're one of the lucky ones with the genes to support a diet like that. I think I'll continue with our natural omnivorous diet and enjoy my 60s and 70s without having to be on blood thinners or take insulin.
Yeah, you got me good! Clearly a comment like that equals "You mean that guy who thought Hugo Chavez was a great leader and Venezuela was an economic model the US should follow? ".
You might have a point if applying water magically had the same result regardless of where you applied it. Most of the produce grown in California would fail miserably if it were grown in the states you list. Big agra-business isnt retarded. Land is ridiculously cheap in the regions you describe and quite expensive in California. If they could make agriculture work as well in those states you would see a very different picture in terms of water rights.
I suppose you do have a bit of a point though about California and water even though the Colorado river clearly flows through California snow pack regions, thus getting quite a bit of water from them. The flip side is that if California isn't America's produce basket anymore then it doesn't need to be so productive.
There is literally nothing pointing to these protests being pre planned. Once again: why would you pre plan protest if every polling organization and your own party thought you had the election in the bag? This "pre planned" nonsense is the very definition of a conspiracy theory.
What are you talking about? While Trump isnt universally loved within the Republican party he is guaranteed far more support then Clinton would have gotten from a Republican controlled Congress. You're being completely absurd if you think Clinton would have a better chance of passing legislation. Just look at the last 6 Obama years after the Democrats lost control of Congress, all Congress did was try to repeal Obama Care 50 or 60 times and it most certainly didn't act positively on any presidential proposals. They even refused to discuss his supreme court nominee even though that's their damn job.
In the modern context vitamins are not luxuries. They are what allow members of our species to live beyond their 30s.
I would really go as far as to say that, despite myself being a meat eater, that your description of corn being so vital is only because beef is such an incredibly wasteful means of producing food. The protein that makes corn so big is a true luxury.
Anyways, if you want to subsist on corn, bread, and meat along with pill vitamins, good luck to you. Here's a bit about California agriculture that you might find enlightening. http://www.slate.com/articles/...
So California, the last state in line in America on the Colorado, is using more then it's allotted share? I'm looking at a map now and that doesnt seem like a problem for anybody but California.
Please enlighten me if we somehow have some sort of magic that takes water from the Colorado before it hits California because that would be amazing!
Until then, we're last in line in the US. The only place we're taking water from is a brief spot in Mexico before it hits the Pacific.
A picture of a guy and a megaphone is indicative of massive pre planning?/me shakes his head.
I honestly don't know what to say to some one who makes that claim. I don't think there's anything I can say that will refute your conspiracy theories in your mind.

Hahahaha. Well said

Hahaha, and then you go and give dietary advice. Classic...

No, you're factually wrong!
Man, I need to follow your model. My posts take way longer to type out given that I feel the need to justify my claims.
There were pesticides involved!? Oh my!

Even though neither political party is actually trying to take away your gun (unless you're a criminal of course)

You mean the Republicans from districts that are all Democratic now? Yes I do.
Oh, he said some small nice thing about Venezuela's economy before oil prices dropped and their economy went to shit.
You got me good!
Yes the Civil War confirmed that nicely. How exactly are you contributing to the conversation with that post?

Sexual identity issues and bathrooms do not equal boys and girls in school showering together. You're literally making that up.

The sierras are part of the Rockies so I feel pretty good about what I said.
Oh fine, you got me good. If we all lived purely off calories California wouldnt be important agriculturally.
