I try not to dismiss the message because of the messanger, but you chose Milo Yiannopoulos - he's pretty vile. I mean he starts off his argument with: "it doesn't surprise me to hear a lesbian skeptical about family values- since after their relationship start, you know... lesbian bed death sets in... you know.... well look.." You should know a little about him before you post more stuff with him. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/21/milo-yiannopoulos-rise-and-fall-shallow-actor-bad-guy-hate-speech https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2017/02/21/the-96-hours-that-brought-down-milo-yiannopoulos/?utm_term=.d2dbf6db1a31 https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/james-ball-rise-and-fall-of-the-alt-right-poster-boy-1-5809076 He was a poster boy for the Alt-right movement and was one responsible for bringing that into the mainstream.

Just because you think someone is vile doesn't make it so.. it seems like the main criterion for being "vile" is that they disagree with whatever is "acceptable" according to the radical left.

Once again no examples given, just attacking the messenger not the message, with no real value added to the discussion whatsover. If "you knew this thing was completely *****" as you say, it would be nice if you could provide some backup to that statement. But you can't. And that's the problem. And it looks like you didnt bother to watch the video in the OP either. And that's shame on you. Political correctness is a funny thing. Some people are angered by its doctrines, some blindly believe everything they are told despite any proof (and this belief is reinforced when people they are told are "vile" disagree with said doctrines) and then there are people like me, who simply ask questions. And its actually amazed me how unwilling or unable those who have chosen to believe this doctrine re gender pay gaps have been able to answer my and others' questions. It makes me wonder why smart people are so willing to do this. To blindly accept something as truth without evidence, because they are told to. And reject anything shown to the contrary. It is actually fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call BS on this. I say that no one can find any evidence and so grasp at straws instead rather than admit that they've potentially bought into a giant pile of hooey. I do love it though when its everyone else who has the "closed mind" on issues like this, by asking questions.

If she had a relevant point to the discussion I would love it! Like you feel with Milo, I find Hillary to be a "vile person", but if she has a view and it isnt just unproven dogma I would want to hear it. For sure. For instance, when she was practicing law, did she get paid less than other lawyers who were defending rapists? That would be interesting to hear, though it was a long time ago.

The union and the government feeling that there aren't enough women in admin is not evidence of a pay gap, it just means that less women are applying for admin jobs. Or there is sexism. Or something else. The only way a "pay gap" would exist is if women are working the same jobs as men in admin and being paid less for that job. Do you know if this is happening?

This is an oversimplification of a very complex problem.

The above has NOTHING to do with Applicant "B"s choice to choose a less paying job. Edited February 5, 2019 by wanna-b-fanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
