I totally get what you're saying about the unpredictability of human behaviour. But I don't see the connection to this particular system. It could totally be chaotic if it was modelled as a dynamical system, I don't disagree

It's not impossible at all. In fact there is entire field of study devoted to the long term evolution of dynamical systems ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergodic_theory ). And within a chaotic system there are sever

I'm pretty sure we still find plenty of use in the ideas much older than that... Do we not still teach the ideas of Pythagoras et al? I'm pretty sure what you're trying to say is religion has no place in the 21st century. Als

My dad used a bike seat for me, which was doable since my brother and I were different ages and weren't often going to the same place. There are of course bike trailers for hauling 2-3 children around and don't forget pedicabs whi

Well show me some data then. Like I said, it seems like the majority of people live within a reasonable radius of work to make cycling feasible. I'm not saying it's easy, and there are plenty of people it doesn't work for, bu

I live in one of the worst cities for cycling in the US and I do all of those things regularly. I bike to Costco and Ikea all the time, but sure you do have to get big stuff delivered unless you have a trailer ( https://www.bikesa

Ummm, I kinda explicitly pointed to the Irish having a distinct culture that people celebrate. And where did I say people are responsible for the misdeeds of their ancestors? You definitely aren't responsible, but you do benefit dispro

People do say they are proud to be white all the time, just in a different way. I hear "I'm proud to be Irish!" all the time. The thing is "white culture" isn't really a thing, "white culture" is simp

This is true, but why do these differences change so dramatically when you cross national borders? Specifically, Men have a higher variability in IQ in countries that have higher gender inequality. To me this seems to indicate that it'

I guess that's true if you consider being for legalized sex work the exact same as being against legalized sex work. She's pretty explicitly pro legalized sex work. Let me quote the relevant part again: "She views prostitutio

I'm sorry but it's patently obvious that "every other organization is a men's organization" is hyperbole. You're making a very forced semantic argument that applies to pretty much everyone. 99.999% of feminists

by quinnchr 13y ago
No sorry, had the poster actually engaged the issue critically they'd probably at least cite specific sources and literature for the issues they are raising, instead of reciting the same tired criticisms of feminism that are brought up

by quinnchr 13y ago
So your issue with feminism is essentially that it's wrong for a women's movement to pursue women's issues? Nothing about feminism is orthogonal to addressing the needs of men. In fact there is a lot of feminist theory explor

by quinnchr 13y ago
I highly doubt you engaged these issues critically if you seriously don't believe that most institutional structures are dominated by men. Great, student bodies have slightly more women than men. However the vast majority of professors

The only reason "lunatic" feminists seem more visible is because people feel compelled to point out the most extreme views of "lunatic" feminists every single time there is a discussion of feminism. It would be like if e

No I didn't miss that part. Like I said religious charities devoted to human services are counted towards human services in the source I posted. My source counts charities as religious if they identify their cause as being for "Re

So... what's your point? You seem to be making a semantic argument, to what end? Sometimes there's not a germane statistic and you might just have to go off of your own lived experience.

by quinnchr 13y ago
That doesn't really refute my point at all. Catholic charities devoted to human services are counted under human services. I'm not sure where I said religious charities don't help people. They most certainly help members of t
