All I'm asking you is to back up your claim that a majority of sex work in these regions is coercive.that's a huge claim to make that strongly undermines the typical counterargument that legalisation enables their protection. It i

Have you seen the university pool of your congress? Hell, even Bush was a Yale and harvard grad.

>It's 'good intentions run ideologically wild'. I would characterize it differently. The core issue with CRT is that it's an attempt to frame everything in an oppressor-oppressed framework. Perhaps it might have more

Apologies on that one, I did correct (and elaborate on) that bit in an earlier comment, but it's pretty easy to miss (Or it might have been a different thread). I'm referring to the use of CRT by the media (not the reporting of CR

It's more interesting because the two have areas where they're clearly opposed. Then you watch them twist themselves into pretzels with things like Blizzard's Blitzchung fiasco. Or the NBA's position on political issues

>Nope. These particular laws are tailored to suppress coerced prostitution, which is rather the norm than the exception when prostitution is legal. You'd really have to give good data to support this claim. Specifically, you'll

This sounds to me exactly like a nice-sounding in the short-term but ultimately unsustainable system to me. That some of the most anti-socialist places in the world are ex-territories of the soviet union doesn't give me much confidence

Some people don't enjoy work, period either. That doesn't mean that having a job should be illegal.

I'll say that you'd probably want to set your null hypothesis at "presumption of innocence" here. The general trend I see in the community is that there's a strong belief that google, and by extension, the tech indu

Could you support this with data of your own? I know that applies to university level education, but I've never seen the data for lower levels of education.

Perhaps the people should provide the teachers /school with more ways to punish disruption. Let schools expel and suspend disruptive students. Don't let bad actors hurt the rest. But from what I've heard, they do the opposite

Something I've wondered about this is the social pressure around dysphoria. Dysphoria, ironically, has become trendy, particularly about social media. See the "cis is boring" view that's been in vogue for some time acros

You attacked probably the weakest part of that entire statement. Your claim that it's a subject for post graduate study/research might have been true at one point, but many of it's principles have been leaking into multiple l

No. Equality focuses on normalizing the distribution of resources, while equity distributes resources to normalize the outcome. Equality, given a group of people, would aim to put them on a level playing ground by allocating the same level

Honestly, both of these, the car accident and the gas tank are being treated exactly the same here. You've looked at the given "truth", evaluated it, and then come to a decision on whether it's worth it or not. It's

Would you like your us tech salary replaced by the European one? My take, as someone outside both regions is that even after medical and rental and other such fixed costs, us tech workers continue to make tons more than European tech worker

Having seen the media about crt, as well as the way it's applied and the attitudes of its adherents, its pretty close to the truth. And its hard to argue with the result. Whatever is going on, that particular strain of "crt"

Man, if you're trying to defend teachers, you're doing a sufficiently terrible job that I'd almost think you were deliberately strawmanning. You've effectively responded to a hypothetical "if teachers were converted

It requires you to go with a very different axiom of equity over equality, basically. Asians do well at exams for some reason, therefore to ensure that there is an equitable distribution, we then sacrifice the level playing ground of equali

That's completely missing the point. The point is, do you accept that unpleasant Truth, do you reject it, or do you weigh whatever other values you have against that truth and ignore it. That's what that question is.

Or perhaps, they do it because its the ideal weapon and means of control. We've seen that "sociopaths in management studies" bit. Wonder how it'd apply to wokism.

I'm definitely all for punitive measures on amazon if they're found guilty there. That also works invalidate the results in my book. That's an if, though.

From what I saw here though, the workers don't want a union and the teamsters seem to be trying to force one in regardless? There was a vote, and from what I remember it wasn't even close. Does this coercion not impact its legitim

This is the way you get defect culture on a massive scale. People don't go "oh, man, I did whatever I could to make it. Good on him for his bailout". They go "Why the hell did I try, when I get punished for it?". Th
