Re: It's the Parents' Fault, Partly

The Nordic countries disproved this and found that the reverse was true. Women rebelled and went into traditional roles more.

Over down under...

In Australia the firefighter tests have been changed to make it easier for women to join. Now, rather than being able to carry a 90Kg weight a short distance (to simulate carrying a small person) it is now dragging a 30Kg weight a tiny distance.

So...More women will now pass the test but you're more likely to die in a fire since your firefighter will probably be unable to lift anything bigger than a toddler.

Some male firefighters released a video applauding the change, while the women are attacking it for making them token firefighters and lowering standards...So the men are scared of being called sexists, while the women are rightfully complaining the change has made everyone less safe.

Can't we go back to a meritocracy where the person who gets the job is the best qualified? Some in the STEM fields are already bunging women £10K to go into the job and discouraging males from applying. Reverse discrimination is still discrimination.

How bad are the army budget cuts when a 7 year old's crayon drawing of a submarine is good enough to be designed and possibly produced?

"The best decision to make is the right one, the second best decision to make is the wrong one. The worst decision to make is no decision."

You shouldn't make any decision until you have all the facts. And right or wrong is subjective.

Re: Amsterdam

It's a protectionist gravy train that hides it's expenditure, treads on governments to keep them in line, and sacked the last person to do their records after he never signed them off once.

After Brexit expect it to become really protectionist and drive away business. They still haven't said a word about Spain battering old Catalonian ladies out voting either.

Re: Loyal Commenter

You do know that "Let's fund our NHS instead" doesn't necessarily mean it would get the full £350 million you remainers have constantly misunderstood for the last year?

It's like trying to talk sense into a brick wall. No wonder they're still protesting and trying to overturn the result...

Saying you can do something isn't the same as actually doing it. Who knew! And Nigel Farage isn't in power to deliver that claim in any case is he?

No wonder Marvin the robot was miserable: AI will make the rich richer – and the poor poorer

Re: AC

I don't agree with that. Automation and mass production makes us pay lower prices, so making us all richer. Just take a look at the massive crop yields and lower prices on everything mass produced. Hand made products are a luxury.

The only negative i see is that the further robotisation of the workforce sucks for the people who lose their jobs. Everyone else benefits.

A guaranteed basic income will have to become a reality by then. You can't have 80% of the population surviving on foodstamps and housing benefit.

Re: AI will make the rich richer – and the poor poorer

This has always been the case. Mass production and the printing press started this and only a fully robot workforce will end it.

Re: anothercynic

I'm not bothered where she came from. I'm bothered by millionaire/billionaire socialites in posh all white neighbourhoods (that have never taken a single refugee i'll bet) lecturing us to take in more refugees, keep the uncontrolled immigration flowing, and that everyone should pay for this.

Lead by example.

PS: And you need to learn the difference between bitching and hypocracy when talking of a billionaire demolishing needed housing, living in a huge empty house that lectures us constantly to take in more people we don't have housing for.

Re: Funny how...

She's just demolished the house next door while we have a housing shortage so that she can extend her garden.

She has 18 rooms in her house and could take in many homeless or refugees.

She is a billionaire after all

Re: What does SJWing even mean?

She's pushing the claim that she is Transracial. That you can identify as a different ethnicity than the one you actually are.

So, next time you'd like a job but they're not hiring anyone but minorities you just tell them you're transracial, and identify as (INSERT NEW ETHNICITY HERE)

Re: Punishing discrimination is not discrimination

Locking them up does the same. And there's solitary confinement and secure wings for the really dangerous crims. Either the state kills them as a punishment, or it's to save money on housing them for decades.

Re: Funny how...

Social Justice Warrior...You know...Those hippies who take gender studies instead of real qualifications, end up unemployable and spend every waking hour protesting something.

Irony alert: They're usually white and complaining how white people are evil and privileged for daring to be white. Their agenda sees a white homeless person as more privileged in society than a rich person of a different skin colour.

See Lily Allen and JK Rowling for more info: Privileged, rich, live in fancy mansions in posh areas. Always complaining about immigration and issues we should pay for, but not them personally. That we should take all refugees that ask, as long as they don't have to live near them.

With warships i'd imagine you pile as many missiles and visible weapons on the thing as possible before the buyers turn up. Then when they buy it you strip the thing down to it's shell, even taking the light fittings, copper wire, and batteries out of the remote.
