For most people quitting your job is an extremely risky proposition. Even if you do have a financial safety net, there are no guarantees other employers will be jumping at the oppo…

There are humanist churches too that you can get involved with ... if you don't want to deal with the crazy dogma that is.

At the very least its heavily reliant on reinforcing cultural stereotypes that likely have no bearing on actual gender differences.

India, like China, also has a sex ratio skewed heavily towards men ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_sex_ratio ). Removing even more women from the pool in India …

They looked very much alike because most of them were socialist dictatorships, or socialist oligarchies. Their economic system didn't decide the shape of government.

That's not so much an issue with grain prices. Rice and bread and such are the most basic of staple foods, and pricing people out of that market results in hunger and starvation.

That is where government is supposed to step in and provide at least a small incentive, or buy the supply for a more modest sum before distributing it. Protecting the life and heal…

Yeah i don't see what the story was here either. It sort of disgusts me to think anyone would read this and be enlightened or surprised. If you've never had to worry about being ou…

Getting employed and staying employed when you're homeless is a lot more difficult. Psychiatric and substance abuse problems don't help either; even if you're a homeless person and…

Poverty is structural. Why are people poor? Largely because they are working jobs that pay shit wages, or live in areas they are too poor to escape, where there are not quality job…

I'm curious. If you speak in an anechoic chamber like this, what does it sound (or not) like?

Theres a thing called professionalism. It is no more appropriate to invite the mocking of women in the workplace at a conference than it would be to mock multiculturalism, and supp…

There's nothing wrong with giving non-apologies in some circumstances. All it does is indicate in a diplomatic way that you weren't really sorry for what you did. If there was actu…

Ummm ... since when are leather boots considered business attire? I'd also call that dressing down, though in a more rugged style.

I wish [I] had it 5+ years ago when it mattered [to me]. Most people don't drop 75+ dollars on Starbucks a month, and rent, food and healthcare expenses are a tad more important th…

It's ridiculous to design a system for the purpose of spying on its users, with users being aware of that. The only people that will be discussing illegal activities using that med…

I'm sorry. A lot of this post just reads like a bunch of nonsense, especially this line: "It's a question of attention, awareness, reality & virtuality, mental health beyond the cr…

I think you're being downvoted because your opinions are grossly misinformed. 40-50+% of the US population could be classified as introverts (1). This couldn't in any way be called…

i'm sorry. that tip is a good one, but not for the reasons you gave. it's only a good idea because saving more is almost always a good idea. if someone is unlucky the money they se…

But keep in mind each of those cancers is developing and evolving independently. Wiping out one type of cancer doesn't make it more likely for the other to proliferate on a populat…

Its fine to be less than perfect and to make mistakes, but if someone makes a mistake large and in public, they should apologize for it. Spending the least little amount of time ta…

There are proper places for sexuality, objectification, etc. A professional / workplace environment isn't one of them. It makes people uncomfortable and can contribute to a hostile…

For someone who's part of a group that hasn't been historically marginalized and discriminated against it's a lot easier to laugh off racist or sexist jokes regarding their own dif…
