Seeing a parallel to another field with more blatant examples of the types of discrimination keeping women out of tech-related jobs is helpful. And more discussion around these iss…

Harass: to disturb or irritate by persistent acts While one person saying this once is not necessarily harassment, the frame of reference has to be from the context of the recipien…

It sounds like from your perspective, being better looking than their co-workers is a good thing. By and large, men are going to find women better looking than other men. That mean…

Someone could make a website about this single concept. domainwashing.com?

Do you boycott any other companies based in, or products made in China?

Agreed. I don't think it'd be unreasonable to do blood testing as part of a kid's regular checkup cycle. Doctors use metrics to determine whether kids are growing properly (height …

It helps the other 29 kids in the class until there are altercations involving 5-7 of those. Then it helps the other 22 kids in the class. What's the endgame? Do you suspend half t…

This is a good argument for government funded R&D, and government owned drugs. They cost a ton of money and take forever to create, so the product becomes very expensive, and right…

It wouldn't be as hard as you're implying. The rate of suicide is much higher in prison than out, and is also higher after release for people who have served their prison sentence.…

I'm in favor of allowing people to live without needing to work. I understand that there needn't be a job for every person in the world. I'm aware that nobody should have to work 4…

Under performing was an understatement. I could have as easily said "employees that are asleep at their desks" and it would have been true for some cases. Management doesn't pursue…

Some insight as to why someone may be anti union: My union has done nothing perceptible during the course of my employment, outside of protecting employees who are under performing…

I don't think you need to worry too much. As has been said in this thread, electronic devices and the software running on them are designed to be addictive. Young children lack the…

From the tone of your comment it sounds like you think conflict is bad. As a bit of a sidebar: It's the parent's job to teach a child how to live a healthy lifestyle as an adult. I…
