But Obama can't run again!
He'll probably elect himself as supreme ruler of the Fascist States of Obamica first! WHY DIDN'T WE LISTEN?!
I mean like, Mitt Romney = White Obama.
You can apply that to nearly every politician. Yeah, I know, on paper Republicans and Democrats are total opposites. Too bad that the results will be exactly the same no matter who gets elected. The best hope, in terms of politics, is researching those in your local government and not fucking up there. That's probably the only time you can vote for a politician and not have a cold stone in Hell's chance of it being meaningless.
No, like, your choice in 2012 was literally Black Obama or White Obama with their skin color being the only noticeable difference.
Let's not pretend it was THAT simple.

And they're testing this why?
Because science. Understanding the human body is important.

I refuse to vote, so... I guess that means I don't have the right to an opinion. lol
You can have an opinion, you just can't complain about the results when you didn't vote.

http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/women-squirting-during-sex-may-actually-be-peeingWhen aroused, some women may experience squirting, or a rather noticeable discharge of fluid. What it is exactly and where it comes from has been hotly debated: female ejaculation or adult bedwetting? Researchers are now saying that squirting is essentially involuntary urination.
Female ejaculate is technically the small amount of milky white fluid that’s expressed when climaxing, New Scientist explains. Squirting, on the other hand, results in a much larger gush of a clear fluid, which comes from the urethra, the duct where urine is conveyed from the bladder. The findings, which combine biochemical analyses with pelvic ultrasounds, were published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine on Christmas Eve.
A French team led by Samuel Salama from Hopital Privé de Parly II recruited seven healthy women—who’ve reported recurrent and massive fluid emission (enough to fill a cup) during sexual stimulation—to undergo “provoked sexual arousal.” The team conducted pelvic ultrasound scans after urination and during sexual excitation just before and after the squirting event.
All of the women had empty bladders before sexual excitation, however, urine collected just before squirting showed that the bladder was filling up. Urine sampled after squirting revealed that the bladder had been emptied again, revealing the origin of the squirted liquid.
The researchers also analyzed chemical concentrations in the urine samples (before arousal and after squirting) as well as the squirting sample itself. These included urea, uric acid, creatinine (a byproduct of muscle metabolism), and prostatic-specific antigen (PSA). The latter is a protein that’s produced in men’s prostate glands and in the “female prostate” called the Skene glands; PSA is found in “true” female ejaculate. Urea, uric acid, and creatinine concentrations were comparable in all of the urine and squirt samples. However, PSA, which was not detected before sexual simulation in six of the women’s urine samples, were present in urine collected after squirting and in the squirt sample in five of the women.
Squirting, they found, is essentially the involuntary emission of urine during sexual activity—though there’s also a small contribution of prostatic secretions as well. Salama’s team is now working on a protocol to test whether the kidneys work faster to produce urine during sexual stimulation than at other times, New Scientist explains. And if so, why. Latest research seems to conclude yes, it is. Interesting. I always thought they were different things.

I see no free for all thread so I'll just post this here.
I want some fucking combat boots. none of that girly stylist crap either that you see in google image search. I want something that says that I AM THE FUCKING AUTHORITY.

MFW all you do is fucking complain.
Don't like it? Fucking leave. I'm sure there are many more places with fewer rules you will feel more at home in.
Excuse me for trying to improve the community instead of just running away
Constant whining like a child isn't "trying to improve the community", it's being a whiny bitch.
Kinda irony coming from you
Go on..
You post opinionated threads that don't even open up discussion
You flash your opinion like it hot shit and absolutely true
Then instead of discussion, you just disregard what the other person says and just keeps on pushing your point instead taking any input from the other person
...and how is that the same thing as you complaining about the moderation style of this site?
It's not
You called me a whining bitch to which I responded and that led to this
Then your claim of irony in me calling you out on that is incorrect. That would hold true if I also complained about this site's moderation, but I don't. I'm not sure what my posts and topics have to do with your complaints of site moderation.

They're not wrong. Obviously you need some sensitivity training. The hallways of your school are not The Flood.
Please tell me you aren't fucking serious.
I'm mostly joking. I don't think you need to take a class, maybe just a "bro, you probably shouldn't say those things. People will think you're a dick"

Hypothetical scenario: if you were the citizen of a newly forming, very small country, would you rather the government comprise of elected officials, a direct democracy, or be under the complete guidance of a benevolent, all-knowing deity?
How can you choose to live under such a deity? It's not up to you to choose.

So what are we going to cut? Social security and welfare programs? Military spending? Foreign aid, perhaps?
All of those should probably suffer some restructuring and some cuts.
I'm sure they could. But that should happen before we cut taxes.

Taxes are near a historic low. They're still too high.

My biggest gripe is that this move is another step towards making college essential education and ruining the value of a diploma.
It already is. If you want a job that pays more than minimum wage, you need a degree.
It's already a societal requirement, we don't need to give it a foundation by further excusing it.
By giving people who couldn't previously afford it a chance at higher education, you're giving them a chance to rise out of the vicious cycle of poverty. We'll all be better off for it in the end.
By making higher education a requirement instead of an option, you're diminishing the value of it. There's no reason why someone needs to get a bachelor's degree to be a McDonald's manager, and because of actions such as this policy it will only gain more traction.
It's not going to be a requirement. Nobody's being FORCED to go to community college. The option is there for you if you need it.
You just said that it's already a requirement for jobs above minimum wage, how is it a good thing to further support that policy by offering college to more people instead of fixing the education system in the first place?
No, I didn't say it was required. I said it was essential. Small, but important difference.
In today's job market, you cut your options significantly by not having a degree.
That's a problem of semantics. If it won't lead to argument over word choice, then I'll say that it was poorly worded on my behalf.
You're cutting your options significantly by not having a degree in a state of which there is still a financial barrier in the way of attaining one. So instead of tackling the problem, we're attacking the symptom and only fueling its progress. Instead of saying, "Hey, it's a problem that basic jobs are starting to require higher education", it instead support the policy by making it even easier to do!
So if this isn't the answer, what is?
Instead of railroading people into higher education, fix the problem at its source: core education. Fix curriculum and stop increasing standardized testing. And I don't mean Common Core, I mean actually fix it instead of doing the same-old-same-old with deceptive advertising. I hope you don't expect me to write a bill here, because I assume you know enough about the state of core education in the US to know that it is a serious problem. If you don't, I'll be glad to keep discussing it.
I don't disagree that public education is terribly flawed. However, nearly everyone on this site disagrees with me about Common Core [many because they don't really understand it, but I wont jump to conclusions] I certainly do think CC is a step in the right direction. The end-all, be-all? Unlikely. But we wont really be able to measure its effects until maybe a decade down the road since it's still so new.

In all reality is there any chance at all this will get passed?
Absolutely not. Republicans would never let something beneficial like this pass either the House or Senate. We can't even get them in on a jobs bill for veterans they created.

Doesn't my very existence right now disprove this?
I wouldn't know. What do you do and what education do you have? Yes, it's *possible* to have a good job without having a degree. Often, experience can be supplemented for education. But that's far from the norm.
