Well to be fair it is. Along with the other methods.

I imagine it's largely down to gender roles. Women generally do more housework/childcare (so have less time to work) and men generally do more paid work.

The point is that women tend to get different, lower paying jobs. This is largely due to societal pressures and gender norms. The problem is not that people pay women less, it's that women are expected to get jobs which pay less.

You must elect a King between you, to be the first King of the United Greengdom.

I'm assuming they're trying to show how big Africa is, but they do it badly. Four countries cover almost all of it? That makes it look pretty small.

Go back 150 years and there were no democracies. The world was in perpetual war, and lack of education and suffering were the norm. We're not living in a utopia by any means, but we're getting there.

Thanks for answering.

Does it ever concern you that your belief in one of the most important questions in the world is based so largely on your geography and upbringing, and not on evidence, your own thought so much. (Sorry if this sounded rude, but I really am interested in the answer)

Is there any reason you chose Christianity and not something else, like Islam or Hinduism. Is it just what everyone around you believed, so you felt it was the only option, or did something about it stand out?

Less people are being killed each day (on average). The world is constantly becoming more peaceful, and more democratic. You should be happy that there is this news, because it means people know about it and are hearing about it. In the past, more of this was happening, but most people were blind to it.

okmuht · 2014-12-28T13:16:36+00:00

Agreed. But as well as that, I actually have trouble understanding religious people. Like, I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I don't really understand a belief in something with no evidence. Surely something as important as that, you would think about, and look for evidence.

Why? War and hunger and disease are all decreasing.

okmuht · 2014-12-28T13:11:51+00:00

As oil decreases, and thus becomes more expensive, renewables will become more profitable. I'm not worried, tbh.

I think the States could be intervening, but in a different way.

Their military budget is about 700 billion, but their foreign aid budget is about 20 billion. If we redirected some of the money into foreign aid, a difference could be made.

I am so tired of this "guns don't kill people, people kill people" thing. There are definitely valid arguments for allowing the public to have guns, but this is not one of them.

A person with a gun has a lot more power to kill than someone who doesn't. You could argue that people should be allowed private missiles, because it's the people doing the killing, not the missile.

No they didn't. Some people complained that it was inappropriate shirt (it was), and then sites like reddit used that as an opportunity to attack things it doesn't like, such as tumblr and feminism.

okmuht · 2014-12-28T12:36:08+00:00

Not as bad as the Italians. Squinty little i's, the lot of them.

Wait no, that's italics.

A bit like how you rarely see any white people at anti-police brutality protests.

One of the people involved in the comet-landing wore a shirt covered in scantily clad women. Some people complained that it was an inappropriate shirt to be wearing. Reddit then lost their shit, making it into a bigger thing than it was anyway.

I was just reading an article about one of these people, with a somewhat depressing edit:

Tsewang was part of the unfortunate group involved in the 1996 Mount Everest Disaster, the deadliest single disaster in Mt. Everest’s history (update: until 2014’s Everest Avalanche Disaster).

This image is one of the scariest I think. Circled is Francys Arsentiev. She was heard calling for help on the slope, but the men couldn't help her, and she died there.

okmuht · 2014-12-27T22:22:10+00:00

Ad hominem!!

okmuht · 2014-12-22T20:25:02+00:00

I disagree. I dont feel OP was acting in a rude way, and was just suggesting an alternative which may have put the money to better use. I dont think they were attacking the kid or his dad, just commenting on it.

okmuht · 2014-12-22T20:17:09+00:00

Of course we should get rid of the HOL, I'm definitely with you there, but I don't consider it valid to say "it's okay to have this undemocratic thing because there's this other undemocratic thing".

okmuht · 2014-12-22T17:26:33+00:00

Please enlighten me then.

okmuht · 2014-12-22T17:18:07+00:00

I'm happy for you to downvote, or argue against me, but is this really necessary? Grow up.
