- dmitrygr 4y ago3% of the population is mentally ill. Should that be represented? 2% are senile. That too? I don’t want “someone like me” in positions of power over me. I have no idea what that’s such a popular phrase in America. I want someone vastly better than me in positions of power.
- tadfisher 4y agoIt's good that Title VII doesn't identify mental illness or senility as protected classes for the purposes of employment, then.
- weard_beard 4y ago22% of the population are children. 40% of interns generate 0 paid income. 21% of families have a stay at home mother not in the work force. When are these slackers going to start demonstrating their worth!?
- rizoma_dev 4y agoThat's a terrible outlook. Mentally ill people (and in general the weakest in our society) still deserve representation, and there are no "vastly better" individuals. You're confusing education/health for inherent worth
