I wasn't aware that God had any specific comments with regard to the US presidency. Good thing he OK'd female CEOs though apparently.

This. It's yet another example of someone misusing the bible to support their beliefs. The curse that God levied against Eve obeying her husband only had to do with their relationship, and that Adam will take the dominant role in that instance only. Females aren't inherently inferior to males.

If you think they are, you're a fool.

I read the other day that a top British chess player said woman can't play chess because they don't think logically like men do. What a ****ing laugh and a half, he was beaten by a female chess player in championship finals 3 times.

She didn't even bash women wanting to run for president. All she said was she has an old fashion view on gender roles that comes from her religious beliefs.

How is saying that women are incapabale of being the president not bashing women who want to run for president? Like Janszoon said, it's really hypocritical for her to say that women can't handle power, when she herself is enjoying the benefits of being a CEO. She's just another arsehole that refuses to follow her own moral guidelines.

"By no means am I saying every woman out there who doesn't do what I do is a bad female, or that your daughter shouldn't aspire to be the president," Rios said. "If that's what she wants, that's great, go for it. All it means is that I don't support that, that's my personal opinion."

Yeah, those are funny mental contortions she's doing there. "Hey, I'm not saying I'm against it, I just mean I'm against it." Classic.

DwnWthVwls 04-21-2015 04:26 PM

I didn't take it that way. I understand your point, I just took it as "hey it's not for me but if you have the desire than go for it".

Kinda like how you don't like seafood but your not gonna tell other people not to eat it if they enjoy it. :D

Except she did do exactly that. She said, “I truly do believe a woman shouldn’t be president.” That's not just a claim she's making about herself, it's claim she's making about women in general.

Also, let's not ignore the awesomeness of the real life Kermit here.

DwnWthVwls 04-21-2015 04:47 PM

To clarify when I said "hey it's not for me" the me was meant to mean women presidents are not for her. I didn't mean it to sound like she was talking about herself. I'll try one more comparison and drop it: It's like the people who don't agree with gay marriage but aren't against it from being legalized. Do you see what I'm trying to say, even if you still feel she is worth bashing?

and Real life Kermit is really freakin awesome. I like how it looks as though it has eyelashes on it's cornea.

Which is a nonsense opinion that just sounds like they're trying to have their bigot cake and eat liberal sushi too.

DwnWthVwls 04-21-2015 05:01 PM

I don't see a problem with being honest about your opinion while respecting others, especially when it has no effect on you. It's perfectly reasonable for a topic like gay marriage. If this were about the death penalty I would definitely agree with you.

DeadChannel 04-21-2015 05:35 PM

Personally, I think that everyone on this forum should be required to bash her, but if you disagree that's cool too.

Exactly.

I really like the way you analyze things, you come off more rational than the others.

All I can think about is how weird it would be as an adult to be staring at a blurry, faded drawing of me as a baby every time I talked to my dad.

It says she actually had a job, but quit because she felt "left out". You are a ****ing stupid **** and should pay everyone else as a fine for subjecting us to your idiocy.

Today's Unbelievable News: Apple is framing itself as even more of an enemy of the people than previously thought possible.

To coincide with the launch of their late-to-the-game streaming service, Apple is pressuring labels to cut off all free-account licensing to their competitors, suggesting Apple would pay Universal Music the fee it normally receives from YouTube if the label agreed to stop allowing its songs to be on YouTube for free.

Apple's efforts are said to have caught the attention of the US Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, who are said to be looking closely at the company's business practices around music streaming.

Farkhunda murder: Afghan judge sentences four to death over mob killing | World news | The Guardian


I'd say this was in the wrong thread, but as far as I know there isn't a "Wow I Can Totally Believe that News Story" thread. I guess some people might be shocked, but there isn't much that surprises me about religious extremism in Afghanistan. If it weren't for the fact that the Taliban have proven to be a threat to American civilians, I'd say let them have that ****hole country. They ****ing deserve deserve each other.

If Steve Jobs were running Apple and they were desperate to get into music streaming, they would NOT do it like this. This is an immoral way to get edge for Beats Music which in itself is overrated.
