Has there been a generation where the elders haven't accused the kids of some moral fault?

The totally literal reading would be that someone actually got chewed out by their father for being a Benthamite.

Sure, but the idea that texts have different readings depending on perspective is a pretty postmodern one. I was criticizing the claim that the text was likely specifically directed at American liberals .

As a smug postgraduate I find it kinda odd I'd be called out as an undergraduate, since I found the article funny. Cheers.

That's a very postmodern take! I personally think that most people will read this as a criticism of religious schisms, particularly considering the obvious implication that it's a parent talking to a child, rather than peers with

I think a more straightforward reading is that it is satire directed at religious people.

The amount of hate crimes, and remember, the fbi has said white supremacy is now the majority of terrorism arrests it does, have also surged, so it's more a case of the issue on the right being greater in magnitude than there being a l

Right wing extremists have killed more people in the last ten years than any other political group.

Oh for sure there's been an increase in extremist activity in Europe, as Anders Breivik and many others provide evidence for.

Ok here's my answer. > Why don't these "equal outcome" groups make a fuss about that? What about trying to get more men into nursing or day care? They do. They are.

Not only is it true, the fact that you're parroting the claim that construction isn't trying to address the gender imbalance of its field demonstrates that you don't know what you're talking about. You haven't seen

I question this result, since: https://qz.com/333313/milliions-of-facebook-users-have-no-id... tl;dr: In Thailand, 45-ish percent of people say they use facebook, 30-ish percent say they use the internet.

When questioned directly about what Marxists he believed represented what he's characterising, he couldn't name a single one. This lends more evidence and fact to the pile of facts that demonstrate he has no clue what he's t

Considering that academic rigour is at stake - given we need to trust he's made a rigorous survey of the academic consensus surrounding this topic - it is a very related subject. Given that none of these papers prove that women are bet

There used to be more male lawyers than female lawyers.

It is honestly incredibly funny that this comment, about factual probabilities, would get downvoted.

The average board has 9 members. If we were to randomly flip a coin 9 times, we'd expect to see 9 of tails/heads about 0.2% of the time.

I feel like an extreme view would be to say any ethics board is better than no ethics board. If you disagree with that statement then I think the question is: Was this ethics board bad enough that it was worse than no ethics board? And,

That simplistic view is not the consensus of modern biologists.

Ah, so you agree that gender isn't binary.

Actually the implication is he has seen delusion at Yale, which I think is easy to disagree with, especially if you're one of the "deluded".
