Well personally, I think the vows you make when you marry should be treated as a contract. I mean it sounds as much like a verbal contract as can possibly exist. Which would make the person who breaks the contract the person at fault.
You may as well say we should get rid of all contracts in general instead of trying to find someone to blame in the event of breach. A noble sentiment, but not particularly practical.
That's a problem solving mentality. Some women are not interested in solving problems, they are interested in being excited. The high divorce rate increases with gay female couples and decreases with gay male couples.
Wouldn't it be worse to trap someone in a relationship that they aren't enjoying?
What you call trapped, I call commitment. We may as well just not get married then, to do the women the great honor of not trapping them. Especially if there is no upside for men.
I don't define love by feelings in my tummy, I define it by the actions you take to put someone's needs ahead of your own. Feelings change by the year, by the week, by the day, by the moment. No stable family will survive if it simply operates based on the whims of emotions.
Oh, well another user pointed out that SSN's are not unique, I think they are recycled after death or something. In any case, I do know that when the SSN system was first created it was created by people who said this is NOT MEANT to be treated as unique identifiers for our populace, and if it were it would be more comprehensive than an unsecure string of numbers that anyone can get their hands on. But lo and behold, we never created a proper solution and we ended up using SSN's for identity purposes. Poop.
No fault divorce? Just that women initiate 70% of divorces, and they can divorce for any reason, including boredom. And then those other things I mentioned generally come into play next.
A lot of men are staying away from marriage now, and the sentiment I keep hearing is "why would I enter into a legal contract where one party is rewarded for breaking it?"
The double edged sword of international trade, we all sink and swim together. Last time the US had an economic recession, it was felt worldwide. The last time the US had a depression WW2 happened.
No fault divorce, the man vs bear argument, child support laws, alimony laws, lack of support for abuse against men, etc. There's plenty to show we don't value men as much as women.
Because of course the government uses SQL. It's as stupid as saying the government doesn't use electricity or something equally stupid. The government is myriad agencies running myriad programs on myriad hardware with myriad people. My damned computers at home are using at least 2-3 SQL databases for some of the programs I run.
SQL is damn near everywhere where data sets are found.
You're not discussing it further because you can't see further than your nose. I specified specific issues problematic with policing, which is the specific area you brought up to highlight systemic racism. I'm trying to point out you're keen on fixing symptoms, and I'm concerned with eradicating the root cancer.
Well stated! But to build on that, that should be already known and understood by everyone, so at some point isn't it a case of "fire hot, don't touch?"
Like with the facts stated as is, it sounds like a woman would have to be stupid to attack a man with such a power discrepancy, so from this moral argument, you just have an attacking woman being controlled by their feelings of anger vs an attacked man being controlled by their feelings of self defense. Why does the physical facts matter at that point? Might makes wrong? Just because the man is born stronger his feelings aren't valid?
The reason we speak legally is to remove the feelings from the equation and make it as dispassionate and logical as we can.
But obviously it's a big murky mess because the law isn't wholly blind to feelings and motives.
Honestly even on Windows I preferred AMD's software suite compared to Nvidia control panel and GeForce Experience. Currently using a 7900XTX and pretty happy with it. Also I missed Radeon Chill when I was on Nvidia, didn't expect to care about that at all, but I love it.
Actually no, I don't think women's only spaces for rape are necessarily beneficial, because I'll point to the stupid man vs bear argument.
That's the same thinking that people use to keep trans people out of specific bathrooms. Fear of some small few despicable criminal elements shouldn't be used as an excuse to sow fear against entire swathes of population.
A women who has been raped shouldn't be coached into believing that all men are rapists and should be assumed to be rapists. Additionally, allowing men in would serve to destigmatize the concept of male rape. Where are men who have been sexually assaulted supposed to go?
As for the minorities being less interested, I was simply going off some polling numbers I saw during the election. I forget which stats specifically but I remember seeing some numbers that struck me as counterintuitive. Think it was something like Hispanics here actually being in favor of stronger border control and whatnot.
I mean if you want me to admit our police and criminal justice system are in need of reform, I agree. I don't think it needs to be tackled from a race angle. I think fixing the broader problems with the system will take care of the race concerns.
Daniel Shaver was white. Police training is completely anti public by design. Police are poorly educated on the law. Police are corrupt and cover for each other. Police, judges, and prosecutors are way too cozy with each other. Qualified Immunity is a nightmare.
Solve that crap first then let's see how bad the system racism remains.
Most people don't care about being CO2 neutral. The real question is what is the ROI? Will the panel save that person money. If it takes 50 years to pay for itself, I'd say that's bad. 10 years is more standard. 5 years I say it's a no brainer. Though I suppose you can also argue value for utility, if that is giving her the ability to power something off grid that would be worth something.
A backlog of 3.7 million cases... Jesus.
