I thought feminism was about civil liberties for women, NOT female dominance
It was, but it has been hijacked by matriarchs, I refuse to call women like these feminists because they're an insult to actual feminists who care about equal rights. It's all about changing the meanings of the words, newspeak |

Regardless of your opinion on if the law is just or not, the police officers were only doing their job.
Just doing their jobs. |

I am, by no means, a believer of an ideal society nurtured by a free market (laissez-faire capitalism) My sincerest apologies if I have posted this in the wrong section. There is currently a market on this forum for the licit trading of accounts, and a user may not be challenged for his trades as long as his trust rating is either neutral or positive. That is a recipe for disaster, because a user may purchase a well trusted, veteran account with an excellent trust rating, then use it to operate a High Yield Investment Ponzi schemewithout any suspicion from its victims. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to track a stolen/lost/sold account, unless by authentication through security questions for identity verification on every session. Of course, this is very inconvenient and I don't see it being implemented any time soon. If anyone else has solutions to counter this issue, please share them with us. |

This is old news Some educational institution was offering students extra credit for not shaving their armpits, except that the credit was offered to women only. Male discrimination. Hair is hair. Actually, it's discrimination against males |

That's not true. They just get caught twice as often as we do. Spark 'em if you got 'em, bitches!  Ever wonder why? It's because of police flagging black neighborhoods as "high crime" zones and patrolling them constantly Well, obviously my attempt at making a joke to lighten the mood was unsuccessful. There's probably a reason why some black neighborhoods are labelled as "high crime" zones. Probably because the ones labelled as such ARE "high crime" zones. [/quote] Circular reasoning |

All the hacker has to do is guess the right PW or answer security question correctly and it's game over.
The chances of that are very low Only if its coupled with email verification though |

Definitely the class system, not only between Rose and Jack but also between the different classes of passengers.
YEs, I agree 100 % Also, to see how reach people was saved first and third class people had to wait until the end, this was really tragic. I've realized that airlines often have a more convenient location for obtaining the life vest in case of an emergency for business/first class flyers, which is really implying that they have a greater right to life than those who could not afford it. It really is tragic. As mentioned by awesome31312, this is definitely the most intelligent and thought provoking answer! Poor people are most certainly treated as second class citizens. I honestly don't know how anyone can miss it. Recently, I was reminded of this when I took my dad to see the doctor regarding his pneumonia. My dad received oxygen when he was in the hospital and he says it helped him immensely, but the hospital couldn't discharge my dad quick enough. In fact, my dad came back later the same day, due to feeling short of breath, and again they discharged him asap the following day. *sigh* The next day I took my dad to see a doctor (which was filling in for his family doctor) and asked him for oxygen, but he denied me three times saying my dad can't have it and even told me I was being difficult. I just couldn't understand why not, knowing full well there are in fact old people who do have oxygen at home. Finally he admitted it was because my dad didn't qualify to have it covered by medicare and if we wanted it we'd have to pay for it. "FFS! Of course we'll pay for it!", I told him.  Lesson learned - If you have to go see a doctor (at his office) you will be lied to because you obviously cannot afford good treatment and so must die. If you can afford a doctor to come to your home then you can obviously afford good treatment and so have the right to live. Sorry if this seems a bit off-topic, but I just had to get this off my chest.  It's not off-topic at all. I'm sorry you had to deal with such outrageous oppression due to class warfare, oYo. It really does seem like we are one nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all that can afford it. We don't like facing it, but it's true, there is in fact a condition where one cannot afford rights. The right to life is mentioned in our Bill of Rights, but unfortunately, it seems that you need to be able to pay for your right to live. Titanic was a good example of that, airline tickets are another. Health care in America tops it all. Thank you awesome31312. Indeed, I'm sure things are the same there in the USA as they are here in Canada. Don't you guys get free healthcare in Canada? Yes, but it doesn't cover everything. My dad's oxygen level wasn't low enough for him to qualify for free coverage. What pisses me off is that doctors hide options which are not covered by healthcare if they figure you can't afford it. I believe that this discussion brings up an important question. Is it really moral to capitalize on a man's basic need, his bare necessity, his right to LIFE? |

They can even spy on turned off electronic devices...
Stop exaggerating the powers of the government If the phone is turned off and the battery is removed, there is no way for them to track a device unless they planted a GPS chip in it beforehand. |

Notable quotation from Vod's post:
"I can see their point... if you keep feeding the problem, it will never go away."
"He can see their point" meaning he believes the police's actions were justified in arresting someone for feeding the homeless
"If you keep feeding the problem" notice how he refers to the homeless as "the problem", the context here is obviously feeding the homeless
"It will never go away" the homeless man is referred to by the pronoun "it", as if referring to a different species

The ship, for being on a planet with "global warming".
What? What does global warming have to do with the sinking of the Titanic? That iceberg wouldn't have been floating around if it wasn't for "global warming" - the entire planet would have been a glacier. Wow, that's really critical thinking |

Also, white people use marijuana just as much as the blacks do, but blacks are incarcerated at a nearly double rate
The drug war is a closeted war on people of color.
Just like the war on terror is an excuse to terrorize Middle Eastern children and strip us of our civil liberties (NDAA)

They are finally raising the minimum wage, which will at least help the people who make that.
Unfortunately they are only raising the minimum wage. I know in Seattle it will be going up to $15/hr. That is absolutely insane they don't raise everything else. I imagine there are some people out there making $14/hr and are doing fairly well at a respectable entry level job. Now you can get the exact same pay at Mcdonalds? What is wrong with this picture...
Minimum wage doesn't mean only McDonald's, it means any company that pays the minimum wage. To compete, the companies paying the current wage would raise their wages |
