please accept my apologies in responding. had some final moving duties and some trim work (gotta love harvest season).
Spare me the high-minded condescension.
You know as well as I do when Gloria Steinem talks about pay disparity between the sexes she does not break it down by profession. She and all of the other gender-pimps talk about salary disparity between the sexes. And they speak in broad and general terms.
You want to talk about individual cases where an individual of one sex makes a better salary than the other sex, I would be happy to talk about the other differences as well. Like education, experience, sick days taken, etc.
wow, just wow.
i make a specific reference to the lilly leadbetter fair pay act, i even give you a specific example explaining what it does, and you run away like child scared of a bumblebee.
this is not about gloria steinem, this is not about "broad and general terms"...this is about, as you called it, "obama's destructive agenda".
how is it that giving a woman who has suffered pay discrimination a better chance at seeking justice even remotely definable as "destructive"?
are all women so uneducated, inexperienced, and prone to illness that they deserve to be paid, on average, 4/5 of what a man earns
for the exact same job?
this is not "high minded condescension", i do not even know where you get that. this is me nailing your ass to the wall on why the lilly leadbetter fair pay act is destructive. just tell me why, quit trying to redefine the question or branch off into distant generalizations. tell me why this legislation, part of obama's agenda, is destructive.
you are correct. goebbels was the one who pioneered the phenomenon of making something so by simply asserting it. so like goebells, you prescribe to the theory that by asserting a falsehood often enough, you can make it so. way to be!
going back to the original point again, please tell me why not allowing insurers to drop you once you get sick, part of obama's agenda, is destructive. quit trying to redefine it as me being someone who believes the non-affluent deserve everything for free and tell me why requiring insurers to not drop lifetime payers once they get sick is a bad or destructive thing.
You sure have a funny way of expressing that love.
i'm not sure what you mean. like i said, the profit motive, ie the motivation to earn a profit, is what allows me to pay my rent and bills.
I agree. But McCain was the alternative, was he not?
you agree that obama was better than the alternative? well hell, johnny! let's quit all this fussin' and feudin'.
yes, mccain was on the ticket....but i seem to remember a winking pander on his ticket.
And the health insurance industry is among the lowest in terms of profit rate. But I am sure you don't concern yourself with things such as that. Gross profit and net profit are all you concern yourself with I am sure.
i don't concern myself with any of those things. i concern myself with the behavior of the industry that is in charge of insuring our health. like i said, it is not like a netflix subscription, it is MY HEALTH.
if they are going to suddenly find a pre existing condition that allows them to drop you once you get sick (a documented practice) in order to earn that profit, that is my concern. and if that means a system like germany where health insurers are mandatory non profits (yet still compete fiercely), so be it.
making health insurers behave ethically - how is that destructive?
I already explained which actions to which I was referring.
I find the firing of Juan Williams contemptible.
And I did not say Brack is a Muslim. I said he was born a Muslim.
There is a difference.
As to why you are a Jew, who knows? If you were baptized then you were not born a christian. Christianity does not work that way. You could have converted, as Brack did when he became a Christian. Or your mother could be Jewish. Judaism is matrilineal. The woman is the vessel.
You can look that up, too.
too? i already told you i didn't need to look up your first point, making the 'too' unnecessary. besides, i knew that as well.
juan williams was going to be fired by npr anyway, he had several instances where he allowed his opinion to overtake his reporting. npr holds themselves to a higher standard with respect to not inserting opinion.
i bet you get all scared and shit when you see a muslim on an airplane though.
at least you understand that religion is not decided by birthright. still not sure why you felt the need to point out the religion of obama's father and that it is patrilineal...
check that. i know exactly why you would do that...
