I assume it has something to do with this: http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2014/February/Belgium-Expected-to-Extend-Right-to-Die-to-Kids/

Meh, they don't seem very funny to me. Of course, I'm to busy raging against the mislead mentions of thermodynamics (damn you Ham :fu:)

"The patriarchy" as in the ideas most of us have internalized to some degree that attribute to women the function of sexual objects and victims and to men the function of sexual 'predators'. In this sense yes, a lot of what happens in the two cases Dave mentioned stem from this kind of things...

Well, I've often found myself using 'the patriarchy' in the same way the image uses 'patriarchy' (expressing the same idea even), but not in the way the comment does. So that's a data point in the other direction ;) There's certainly some people who view feminism as "we'll take men down and be...

Although mentions to the patriarchy could be read with this 'organization' interpretation, as far as I know I have never seen it used in a way that was inequivocably this and as far as I've been able to understand what people meant, I've always seen it used as something like 'the social and...

Um, maybe there's a trend but I don't think you can say the characters have been shoehorned: - It's too soon to say with PvP, but it's a dumb strip anyway - The Table Titans character had already been introduced and it's probably the one that makes most sense to add to the group short of...

Something that has always surprised me is how creationism seems to be much more pervasive in the US (and Canada? The only creationist scientist I've ever met was a Canadian) than in most of the developed world. I mean, I understand that the religious makeup of society is different there, also...

Sorry, I was answering to CDS, not to you, but got ninja'd because I'm suuuper slow

Well, if you accept scientific truth as actually true there's no discussion to be had, is there? Science says what it says and that's it. But starting from this controversies you can discuss many interesting things, such as what can or can't be known, about what can science say anything, or talk...

I only came here to say that your prices must be inflated. I don't really understand how your healthcare insurances work, but I was just looking for healthcare insurances for my girlfriend (to avoid waiting lists in the free public system) and I could find insurances as low as 45 €/month (0 €...

OH HEY LET'S USE FALLACIES ALL THE TIME THEY ARE GREAT Ugh, I need to stop watching this for a while

Re: the conflict here, I can't clearly say if anyone did anything wrong and where, but in general I find it's better to call the opinions or beliefs insensible, unreasonable or whatever, rather than the people holding them. At first I couldn't see the difference between Stienman's example and...

Depending on how you do it many companies stand to lose nothing from it: obviously, if you have this Basic Universal Income coming from the government, you won't have a minimum wage anymore and companies can pay a lot less. The other side of this coin is that workers do not need to accept very...

There's plenty of shit on American TV isn't there? But I guess you can just restate your argument as 'Brits have different criteria to keep a show on air' (BBC being public and all that) and I'd find it acceptable.

I don't think income inequality is intrinsically unfair. I do think it is unfair in the way it is set up now. In my mind, for income inequality to be as just as possible, income should be very strongly correlated with a combination of effort and skill (I do not know in which proportion). As it...

Is that a Cthurducken?

Well, the other side of the argument is that most frequently black characters are mainly defined by being black, as opppsed to white characters that have many more defining characteristics. I don't know if that says anything about the racism of the person wearing a costume, but it certainly...

I'm not so sure of that. It would be as if it had always been shorter/not existed.
