    This is well beyond general school stupidity. This is downright callous.

    You would think that combating absenteeism would include distinguishing between excused absences and unexcused absences...

    Some Questions about Feminist Epistemologies...

    I'm pretty sure most people acknowledge this to some extent or another. But positing an objective reality is more a metaphysical matter. From an epistemological point of view, it matters more what we can know about objective reality and what knowing is and how it operates, etc. This is a topic...

    Should the Court Uphold UT’s Race-preferential Admission Policy?

    We'll see. If the precedent is set that race can be given no consideration whatsoever, then legacy admissions will be the first to go after, since it's pretty obvious that it's against the 14th amendment, and I will expect sports will be challenged as a result as well, and then others...

    Should the Court Uphold UT’s Race-preferential Admission Policy?

    Wondering why it was necessary to go down that rabbit hole then... Thanks, its something worth considering. De minimis would imply it would be so small of a consideration as to a trifling matter that the court wouldn't see it. I'm not aware that things could be ruled unconstitutional because...

    Should the Court Uphold UT’s Race-preferential Admission Policy?

    I believed I stated a statistician would needed to do proper statistical analysis to see if this or that policy is effective at its stated goals or not. If I understand UT's argument correctly, they use "critical mass" which they define as a minimum number necessary for a diverse classrooms. I...

    SC Legislator's bill to make Viagra as difficult as an abortion.

    How does Feminism view Men?

    "“the wounded child inside many males is a boy who, when he first spoke his truths, was silenced by paternal sadism, by a patriarchal world that did not want him to claim his true feelings. The wounded child inside many females is a girl who was taught from early childhood that she must become...

    How does Feminism view Men?

    But... they don't? I mean, men need women and women need men in order to keep the human race going, because populating the Earth necessitates people doing the nasty. Men and women often need other men and women to fulfill their desire to be with a member of the opposite sex. Sure. But no single...

    How does Feminism view Men?

    Reading meaning into the meaningless appears to be the case here... It happens when you misquote someone in the first place. The actual phrase is, "Dunn coined the famous catch phrase: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle," which was subsequently popularised by Gloria Steinem and...

    Sure, I'll sit down and compile some various media, but at work now, so you'll have to wait a bit.

    Climate change deniers... we're #1, we're #1

    Predicting the Future Good scientific theories are said to have ‘predictive power’. In other words, armed only with a theory, we should be able to make predictions about a subject. If the theory’s any good, the predictions will come true. Here’s an example: when the Table of Elements was...

    Ashley Madison hack victims receive blackmail letters

    Either that, or a spot in the will. I'll take either, depending on age.

    Ashley Madison hack victims receive blackmail letters

    Right, I don't go to people to make the deal, I wait for them to proposition me. Not a problem. Unfortunately I can't use these Canadian dollars anywhere around here! Not because they are Canadian, but they apparently still carry a strong stench that makes them undesirable.

    How does Feminism view Men?

    It is interesting that a philosophical concept derived during the French Revolution that resulted in equal legal standing for all men not give the same rights to women in its application, either in France or America. Where was egalitarianism when women couldn't vote?

    Should the Court Uphold UT’s Race-preferential Admission Policy?

    From the source I provided earlier to someone else: "Based on a study of admissions and academic records of 90,000 students at 30 selective institutions, including 11 small liberal arts colleges, since 1951, they conclude: ''The recruitment of athletes has become much more aggressive...
