I feel that the difference is one in perception. All feminists want to fight perceived inequalities, sexism and oppression. However, the differnce between feminists and those you label female supremacists is a matter of perception. Also, it is a difference of perception on the part of other people as to what constitutes these inequalities and sexism. And, it is a matter of perception on the individial person. For example, you wrote "The f

CARACAS, Venezuela(Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned the U.S. government Sunday that if it tried to invade Venezuela or impose a trade blockade against his country, he would shut off Venezuelan oil supplies to the United States.

And as I'm sure we're all aware, Japanese-American citizens were sent to concentration camps by the thousands, with no real evidence against them except their ancestry. So, we should send people to concentration camps because of their ancestry and let them go when the "war on terror" is over? I don't

I read an article a while back on why Bush getting re-elected is good for Canada. One of the reasons was universal healthcare, making it cheaper to make cars in Oshawa than in Detroit. And the odds of Dubya being America's Tommy Douglas are pretty slim. Has that ever been done, in the history of the world, in such a wa

I think the problem with left-right is a lack of dimension. It has only one dimension, yet it tries to cram every political issue known to man on it, not realizing that in order to be completely accurate, you need a dimension for everything you are trying to measure. Of course, I don't like this sort of labelling that much either, but in a world where a few parties attepmt to represent (or BS) the population, you have so many labels based on party na

Thing is, the "sane conservatives" around here, as you put it, always seem to band together against such uprisings. And it seems that we usually do win out when the lefties give up and "slink off" back to their caves, don't you think? We have our moments, though...

I'm not going to start defending this guy like I did for Jean Charles de Menezes. There is a major difference between this guy and de Menezes. de Menezes never claimed to have a bomb, he was just acting normally. From what I heard, this guy claimed to have a bomb. They did what had to be done (unless some more stuff comes out later like it did in the de Menezes case).

Probably one of the reasons price tags aren't used anymore is that they aren't needed and aren't useful. At my job, the computer will only take either a UPC (either scanned or typed) or a product number. I guess it probably has something to do with how the inventory is updated; whenever you sell one of product number xxxxxxx, the computer somehow updates the inventory to have one less whatever that is. It can't say we have one less hammer if the onl
