Saying that homosexuals are equal to heterosexuals is not a "trendy idea", it's basic equality. I'm not sure why you think "employment as CEO" is the metric for whether "we" "support and debate [

The key point is that your desired salary should be an accurate amount based on your needs and expectations. If you're genuinely out of their range, why would you settle anyway? This is why it's crucial to focus the conversation o

I think you've just kicked yourself with your jerking knee. This is exactly the behaviour you'd expect under a really oppressive system: given a low-risk way to protest the oppression, people take it. Women and those sympathetic

The set of citizens concerned by this stuff is not the same set as those taken in by fake news on Facebook. So the concerned types spending less time on Facebook won't solve anything. And I think the Arab Spring shows your dismissive c
