BREAKING NEWS! (Real World News)

Because some small-minded bigots with power imposed their interpretation of a translated 2000-year-old fictional work on everyone else??



That said... Gay marriage is the shiny thing that is comparatively easy to achieve, but arguably the least pressing issue compared to, say, reducing the the high rate of violence against LGBT people, or the high rate of bullied LGBT teens commiting suicide or ensuring global equal rights for LGBT people... Will those hugely important issues be forgotten now that the LGBT community has 'won' the right to marriage??

urgh *headache* I have to agree, Even if you make a comment about homosexual relationships while at school it would get you ridiculed,, let alone acturly being gay


Idiot

Yup. And don't even get me started on the whole 'It get's better' fallacy...

It shouldn't NEED to 'get better' in the future. It should BE better from the start.

'It gets better' implies that it's okay to be bullied for being LGBT at school because at some unspecified future date you'll leave school and those homophobic bullies behind (assuming you don't buckle under the abuse and kill yourself). NO. IT'S NOT OKAY. Homophobia* needs to be stamped out everywhere.

* and in what way is it a 'phobia'?? Phobias are a medical condition defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational.

'Homophobia' is simply a misnomer for bigotry, stupidity and hatred.

/rant.

Can someone tell me how it's OK to have a race just for women? I bet if they try putting on a race for life just for men it would be uproar.

So no one was doing their job well or if they were not correctly and well things f**ked up pretty badly.



Guys that's an easy one, everyone would be willing to run for breasts who wants to say they run for a prostate?

I kid of course but there is a lack of awareness for men's health problems compared to women health problems. Thankfully Samuel L Jackson is trying to spread more awareness on the subject:



As for the reason for quota's for women on boardroom stats well that's most down to fear. Every company likes to say they're into diversity and hire just about anyone man or woman to help fill those numbers. Hell if I mentioned that I have dyspraxia (which I do) in a job application there's a good chance that I'll get an interview even if I wasnt any where near qualified for the job. It doesn't always work but it works enough to be true so it's not just a woman thing with these places.


So anyone remember the horse meat scandal; of course you do who could forget that mess? Anyway MP's are now criticizing investigations:

Here's all the test really needed to be, "does it moo?" if yes it's a cow and if not its a horse.

Also figured this story about diet drinks was interesting: (just beware the pictures of the teeth )

lol North Korea are like the comedy villains of some old cartoon show these days aren't they refuse to give up their silly war and constantly get caught trying to cause a ruckus or do something bad then blame the west for their stupidity

Yeah.. like all that crap about Andy Murray being the first British Wimbledon champion since 1936... completely ignoring Virginia Wade's superb win in 1977...

I think that time is fast approaching where we will see men and women competing equally in the same event in certain sports. I've certainly watched women archers, footballers, hockey players, darts players and sailors who could easily complete and win against men.
