  1. Here is an interesting question, do you not think a document like the US Constitution that is over 200 years old needs to be updated to reflect the reality of the social and political challengers of the 21st century? How can everything in the US Constitution really be relevant to modern society and yes I understand Constitutional lawyers debate and interpret this type of thing in courts nowadays but I wonder if it would make more sense to create an " update " of the US Constitution And of course I'm not suggesting the core values of the US in the Constitution get removed or surreptitiously changed....I am suggesting they get modernized And the only reason I mention this is because I'm sure if you could somehow ask most people who you may think have tried to "undermine " the Constitution they wouldn't see it like this. They will probably say something like " undermine? No not at all...I have only tried to make the Constitution more reflective of a modern society " So in summary my question is basically " is it a reasonable suggestion in the year 2016 to make some changes to the US Constitution " ?
  2. Yes that was difficult to write
  3. Its called brevity Zora, sometimes you dont need to write a paragraph to make a simple point
  4. Thats okay, its the RL outcome from Trumps sexism and how women will vote that matters
  5. Also if you think of Adult Mods you need to go to a specific place that is not easy to find
  6. Men do matter but not in this case because its about the Democrats getting as much of the womens vote as possible Men have dominated US elections for decades and decades so I think its fine we focus primarily on women for this one...men will be fine I promise you Besides isn't Trump considered more the mens choice? And now you clearly making excuses about reaching out to the Muslim community...Volo its disingenuous to suggest you want to get involved and then refuse the first task given to you \ If a women really calls you ugly its probably true and then its NOT sexist
  7. Well, given that you're attributing claims to me that I blatantly did not make (the bolded part), you possibly may. And since you used plural, it's kind of obvious that you meant Bruce and me (or possibly Bruce and a bunch of imaginary enemies lurking around who happen to believe the thing you accuse them of believing and also read this topic). The jab against my "vocabulary" is kind of funny in light of the level of reading comprehension you just demonstrated, though. Actually, in regards to the bolded part I was referring to something BruceVC stated in an earlier post. My apoligies for assuming and inferring you shared his bolded view because you share the rest. Vals you missing the point, sorry I assumed you knew what I meant when I said " women everywhere " I'll happily explain it but I'm sure you dont really believe in sexism and gender equality so I dont want to waste my time but I will if you serious ? No... I'm done. It's too much work to hold your hand and walk you through consonant thinking. Sorry. Look me up if you're ever in New York. We'll have beers. No problem i prefer people just being honest like you did now because its a waste of my time to make a long post if the person isnt that keen
  8. As I mentioned I am always impressed by your DYI abilities....surly people dont do as much DYI as you anymore or is this common in the USA? Do you get tired doing DIY or do you see it as fun and or a hobby

  10. I have a hard time imagining any context in which calling someone a "fat disgusting pig" is a value-neutral statement of fact instead of the nasty ad hominem it is. And attacking a woman's looks instead of their viewpoints is fundamentally sexist. Sorry this post is pure alum ....100 % unedited He has an ability to make a post if someone says something he can work with that is impossible to deny.....its really funny when he makes the post as I always think " how is the person going to explain this one " ..
  11. GD how come you have never said that about all my great posts ........waaaaaaaaaaah Orogun just 2 posts made a pretty decent analysis on the motivations and psychology of two comic book superheroes that, for one brief moment, actually made me take them seriously as characters. All the comics I have read and the hundreds of hours of Batman & Superman movies I've sat through never managed to do that. But think about all the exciting discussions you and I have had about topics like Gay rights....that must be on a similar level to Orogs post?
  12. I have a hard time imagining any context in which calling someone a "fat disgusting pig" is a value-neutral statement of fact instead of the nasty ad hominem it is. And attacking a woman's looks instead of their viewpoints is fundamentally sexist. Arguably ad hominem? Yes. Fundamentally sexist? No. If you can't even understand why that'd be unequivocally and without a shade of doubt an ad hominem, I'm not gonna waste time on advanced concepts like "what's sexism". Your vocabulary is lacking if you think it's "unequivocally and without a shade of doubt an ad hominem". Vals you are embarrassing yourself now ....please lets just move on

But I know sexism also bothers you....doesnt this particular video just irritate you. Whats worse about it is what message is it sending the rest of the world who would thinlk " sexism doesn't exist in the USA " But the story gets even better, after this debate Trump refused to attend the next Fox News debate….he basically said “Megyn Kelly was unfair to him and she is a third rate journalist “ ….and this is the guy who wants to “ make the USA great again “ , he cant even handle the scrutiny of a women or having to actually admit he is wrong to a women ? Seriously…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVNVY343FXY
  14. No, this video highlights how stupid some people are in that Megyn asks a question that only morons are going to think is relevant, and is somewhat amusing (the Rosie line was a good one). It's exactly the kind of question that a great many people who aren't morons are beyond sick of, hence the cheering of Trump's response. In addition to the various insults he's thrown various women's (and men's) ways over the years, Donald Trump has also laid lavish praise upon various women (and men), do we hear Donald being accused of thinking that all woman are 'wonderful' (which he has called many), or him being accused of having 'no respect for the feelings of men'? No, because that would be ridiculous. What you propose is no less ridiculous, and actually quite sexist. Insulting one woman/man or one person of a specific ethnicity (especially a deserving one), does not equate to insulting them all. Thinking such is moronic. Some women are 'fat disgusting pigs', so are some men, but not all of either are. You can insert just about any positive or negative adjective(s) you want for 'fat disgusting pigs' and the previous sentence still holds true. Sorry Vals but I showed this video clip and emailed the story to several of my committed feminist friends and they were very annoyed It is sexism and they agree Trumps overall actions were disgraceful....and trust me they women so they would know better than either of us
  15. That sounds interesting, didn't you have parents? But I suppose who needs rules when you can read comics all day
  16. GD how come you have never said that about all my great posts ........waaaaaaaaaaah
  17. He insults people in different ways you right but I am more concerned with his treatment of women as they represent over 50% of the voting base. Priorities Volo.....never forget to priorities But there are other minorities he has insulted, you need to step up and help out my son. Why dont you go confirm with the Muslims he has insulted? You have a natural affinity with Muslims so they will listen to you ?
  18. Right from the beginning the comic companies should have fought this...its not hard They make the basic point that the opinions in the magazines have made there customer base uncomfortable and revenue is down What reasonable judge is going to dismiss this....think about it when there are real crimes all around...the judge will order them to remove it and apologize What happened with the Batgirl one was the creative team behind the book didn't like the cover, which was a homage to The Killing Joke, as DC was doing a series of Joker themed variant covers for Joker month, and The Killing Joke is the most famous interaction between Joker and Batgirl. There was an outcry of it showing Batgirl as a victim and that they would never show Batman in a compromising position on the cover of his own book, followed by like 20 examples of just that and the people providing the examples being blocked by the people who said there weren't any. The creative team then felt it didn't fit the tone and themes of the book. As it was a variant cover, of course it didn't, variants rarely reflect the content of the book. So the artist requested DC pull the cover, and they did. I'm pretty sure most people disagree with the decision, but it essentially wasn't DC that caved to the whiny crybabies, but the artists themselves, so the crybabies claimed the high ground. Marvel had the Spider-Woman artist contracted for several other covers but cancelled them after the outcry, but didn't pull the one that was released. You know what ...I suddenly thought of a solution for Spider Women She can just go naked if the issue is her costume?
  19. Nah....thats Japanese child porn....remember we discussed this and I said it would be offensive in my country

  21. But seriously why should a comic cover ever cause a controversy ? In what world did this happen This type of thing can be fought legally but not by using a video. Then the article goes in all the magazines and then the ladies who tend to believe the likes of Elle get upset and involved, then the husbands,then the friends then people like me ...and you guys are made to feel like perverts And what is it about ... a comic I have always thought Spider Women had a nice ass...she does
  22. Can you send me the link to that one? I am not familiar with that story? He makes good points, the whole thing just becomes annoying This group that feels the need to demonize this type of picture obviously feels they have sort of moral precedent. I wonder if he only made this video or did he complain through the magazine like Elle? Because I think he only did this...and the reality is there a better way to complain to a company ? End of the day how many women would be really offended ...and the rest of the world deals with RL abuse of women.
  23. We start on 20 days leave and we get about 15 days sick leave ? But I seldom take sick leave and I take time off when I work overtime so I normally get about 20-30 days leave To give you context. As a new hire with Hertz I started with 5 days of paid vacation and 5 sick days paid (with five floating holidays). It's based on how long you've been with the company (I bump to 10 vacation on my second year). But at McDonalds etc it's just "oh you want a day off? Hope you can keep your rent going!" Dude thats really bad IMO?
  24. My one Brother collected 2000 AD.....I loved that !!! Slaine, Halo Jones and of course Judge Dredd...Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper
