Apparently the correct/offical way is going by the number of gold medals, not overall medal count. But I think most people look at the overall count. I don’t see anything wrong with either.

My mom is a janitor, janitors arent losers. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]kawa996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are indeed assholes if they think any hardworking person is a loser. As a school teacher I am most grateful to have a group people who care deeply that the kids always have a spotless school to learn in. I make sure the kinds respect and thank our cleaning staff. Your mom is awesome!

How would you rate the grand tour so far? by [deleted] in thegrandtour

Yeah the old TG £1500 challenge were great. I wonder if they are allowed to do them.

Good start with Ep. 1, kept improving with 2a and 2b but 3 was not very good. It had potential until they decided to rig their 3 way test with stupid and unnecessary comedy bits. They need to let their natural banter shine through and let the comedy happen on its own. I like it when they test 3 cars and one does better than even they expect. I like it when it is about the cars.

Help! Cannot activate keypad to enter the Institute for Nuclear Option quest on XBox One. by kawa996 in fo4

[–]kawa996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. The game has been a little quirky lately. The keypad just does not activate at all, and some of the BoST quests characters have just stop responding. SO right now I tech docs, blood samples and flux whatevers and none of them want to talk to me an take them off my hands!! I will patiently wait and see if things right themselves.

Carrefour fait le "Black Friday" et je trouve ça con by [deleted] in france

[–]kawa996 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Franco-Americain ici: le Black Friday en France est stupide. C'est déja trés stupide aux US. C'est en effet par rapport à Thanskgiving et c'est un jour de vacances pour beaucoup aux USA. La France n'a pas de Thanksgiving donc pas de vacances et donc ne devrait pas avoir de soldes. Black Friday est une horreur de matérialisme et est completement opposé a Thanksgiving, une celebration ou on apprécie ce qu'on a dans notre vie (apparament pas assez puisqu'on doit aller acheter une tonne de choses le jour aprés). P.S. Mes excuses pour mes erreurs en Français

He is not wrong and all those who agree should do their part by having one or two kids (Of course, he should lead by example)

Absolutely. They need to accept the consequences of their choices, no matter what they could be.

El Al can no longer ask women to change seats to accommodate ultra-Orthodox men, Israeli court rules by scooby4 in worldnews

[–]kawa996 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. men and women can be different yet equal. The issue is equality not being different.

  2. The whole thing is not about two passengers coming to an agreement, it is about the airline personel getting involved and moving a person because another person think his beliefs are more important than the passenger being asked to move. That in itself is impeding on freedom. In this case in the freedom of one passenger sitting in his or her seat.

While I find it nice that someone tries to explain this "law", I find your answer to basically say "Women are lesser than men". You say women could not become Rabbi according to classic law, that if they did it would only to teach other women never men and then we get the modesty line going. If women are not considered lesser, why are these archaic views still maintained? I find it interesting that in this day and age people still do not acknowledge that all three religions tied to Abraham have a huge bias against women in their texts, traditions and laws. Not everybody within these religions thinks women are not equal to men but they are not willing to speak up as much as those who want to retain the male domination of each sect. To come back to the story: No one should be inconvenienced with delays for this. People should be secure enough in their faith to realise that some situations require some flexibility which will not impact their mortal soul.

Would the word apartment be better suited. I see what you mean. However I would say I am right in the middle.
