If you're going to get upset over people being friendly, you don't need to be in customer service
>implying it's friendly and not condescending or unwanted, inappropriate advances.

I see dudes call female bartenders and waitresses all kinds of things. It's not polite or friendly.

I don't have to walk around with a key between my fingers for fear of being raped, despite the fact I do exactly the same thing as a precaution against mugging.

Sorry to go offtopic, but what exactly does having a key between your fingers do for fears of mugging?
It's a simple line of defense against someone without having to be armed. A punch to the face/chest/etc with a key is pretty painful and deterring for people.

but that's what has been adopted.
And the entire point of this thread is that it's a fucking stupid adoption.
I'm not sure how you go about changing it, though.

It's like homophobia. Are homophobes afraid of gays? No, but that's the word we have.

But it's a legitimate point. People say and to some shitty things to people in the service and retail industry, and often women are more of a target than men. She's not wrong.
Be that as it may, that still doesn't make it a point for feminism.
I think you're confusing feminism with all that tumblr/rape culture/patriarchy bullshit. Most feminists are just "hey, let's not be shitty to each other"

Is "feminism" the right word? Probably not, but that's what has been adopted.

Depends on where you draw the line, and what statistics you're employing, but I've no problem saying the values of most Muslims worldwide are explicitly opposed to that of the Western world.
Holding values that oppose the western world =/= a degenerate, though.

They have a point. I got called all kinds of weird things when I worked retail. It's not about a men or women thing - it's about treating employees and customer service people with like...a little bit of respect.
I work in a supermarket, so I know what it's like with certain customers.

This, however, is just high-jacking problems in retail for her feminist agenda; she isn't the only one, either.

I don't hate fat people. I hate obese people who pretend they're healthy or "big boned" or some shit.

Outside of a handful of conditions and diseases, your weight is entirely your choice.

There's no profit to be made off education. It's been tried before and has failed countless times.
Yes there is, but not directly. When you invest in schools, they get a better education, get better jobs, and spend more money.

The only Republican I'd ever vote for is Rand Paul.

Romney's too busy disavowing his own health care legislation so he can get elected. Rubio's a shill. Ted Cruz is a shill (not to mention an unrepentant hypocrite on the most inane issues *coughCanadacough*). Jeb sounds like a nice guy but he gives me a very ominous feeling.
I don't know much about Jeb, but I know a lot of Floridians liked him. I think he's mostly tainted by Bush 2's legacy...

Who gives a fuck what Floridians think? 
Well, they're the ones who have the most direct experience with him...

The Flood / Re: Buying a car: new vs used vs lease
« on: January 10, 2015, 05:49:10 PM »
I'm not sure I would EVER buy a brand new car. Maybe a 2 year-old, lightly used car, but probably never new new. Leasing also seems like a silly investment.

If you really want a new car down the road, buy something used but relatively nice for now. Pocket the difference and save it up for maybe 5 years from now to get what you really want.

Better than Obama. Hopefully the midterm shows that we will be smart enough to not elect another Democrat
We cannot elect a Republican in 2016. It wont happen.

You cant win the White House if your platform is anti-women, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-poor, and anti-anything not christian. Not to mention how Republicans are notorious for threatening to shut down the government if they don't get what they want.

It wont happen. Republicans are toxic. Y'all need some serious help with your image and PR.

Personally I'm tired of the old back and forth rhetoric between both major parties. It's cancerous, they land each other in a stand still and keep the finger pointing to the other side, but once someone calls them out they scramble for every excuse how it wasn't their fault blah blah blah republicans this democrats that fucking blah blah blah

Fuck the parties, and fuck you for being another democrat drone, no different than a republican drone.
but the Republicans we can choose from are all, or many, of those things I listed.

Ya know, the funny thing I live in a very republican household and my father watches Fox News almost religiously.

If you take your post and instead replace "Republican" with "Democrat" he says the exact same thing you do. It's funny, really. People are so blindly dedicated to their one party and don't realize it's been the same thing for both.

He'll say "democrats and liberals are the problem in this country!". I'll tell him the problem is both parties being assholes, and like any Republican or Democrat drone, replies that "No, it's only liberals. Liberals are the problem."

Same old shit between 'em.
Are they both shit? Undoubtedly. But let's not pretend they're equally as shitty as the other. One is far more problematic.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
Well, obviously.

Most recently, it died when one party made it their mission objective to make Obama a one-term president, which they weren't ashamed to say out loud.

Hm, I thought the Zimmerman white-knighting fad was over.
I still think his use of force was justified
howso? what did trayvon martin do to deserve death?
Why do you have to word it that way and put an emotional charge behind it like poor little baby trayvon was brutally executed on his way home from choir practice?

He had Zimmerman on the ground and was wailing on the motherfucker. Zimmerman had no way of knowing when or if it was going to stop, if he'd be beaten to death or what. In that situation, you shoot. You don't leave that shit to chance, you fucking shoot. If I were in his situation, with the understanding of events he had, I'd shoot too.

Of course, I wouldn't be in that situation, because I wouldn't follow someone around like a fucking idiot.
Indeed. Mistakes were made by all parties, but in the end it was self-defense.

Would the times between classes be commercial breaks?
No, but the school uniform would be khakis and a polo with the company logo.

I kid.

It'd be nice if companies were more altruistic and didn't require some sort of tangible benefit from sponsorship, and instead just want to better the community that their employees and customers live and work in.

http://www.prwatch.org/news/2013/09/12218/alecexposed-george-zimmermans-criminal-history-includes-alleged-violence-and-temp

This is par for the course with Zimmerman. He's a violent, mentally unstable man not fit for our society.
Funny how all his serious charges were dropped and then people lump in things like tickets for speeding, which nearly every does, and having to dark of tinted windows after the trayvon shooting.
If he's not a bad dude, it sure is coincidental he keeps getting named in all these things...
Seriously. He's had a restraining order set against him for domestic violence, he has a history of calling 911 for the smallest things, allegations of violence seem to follow him wherever he goes (http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/03/27/10894561-zimmerman-accused-of-domestic-violence-fighting-with-a-police-officer here's another from from 2004.) This isn't coincidental. He's bringing it upon himself. He needs to be taken somewhere he can't hurt anyone else, before he stalks and kills another teenager.
The judge gave him a restraining order against his gf too, and again "accused" of fighting a police officer yet miraculously got off.  Unless every judge and juror was a sexist racist pig who favored him in every case, which seems silly.  I'm not saying he's a goodie goodie but he's innocent till proven guilty.
So you think it's just a wild coincidence that he's constantly being named in allegations of violence?
Yet Bill Cosby has been part of a major sexual harassment allegation for quite a while now, yet nobody is hating on him for it.
...are you for real? Soo many people are hating on Cosby. A bunch of his appearances and Netflix stuff was canned, even.
