Is Bernie the only one that can beat Trump?
-
Labor has the better policies but a totally uninspiring and word challenged leader.
Liberals have, well, Malcolm.

Yes, there is.
When it comes to objectifying, this is last on my list. Feminism. Firstly, let’s start with equal pay for women. Something men never think about. Then, let’s move on to reproductive rights. How about the right to consensually choose a spouse? Genital mutilation. Forced pregnancy, anyone? Gang rape and enslavement. Gender apartheid. Religious murder and burnings. Pornography coercion. Breast cancer and the lack of scientific funding. Property rights. Sexual harassment. Gynecological rape. The list is endless.
If this was truly an issue, which it isn’t, I’m sure PwC will give this woman a get out of jail free card if she turns in a good doctor’s note. I’m sure of it. This is non-news that wastes time. When my male psychiatrist came onto me, in 1996, and I sought out help, most people thought I was the one with a sexual disfunction. Maybe my heels weren’t high enough, but my high horse wasn't.
I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Sure there are higher order priorities, but attitudes and values are hardest to shift and they're contained in the PwC dress policy. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
And let's be real, the only people in this thread having conniptions are those saying high heels are the epitome of professional wear and she should shut the fuck up and deal. *cough*roccopop*cough*

Women need to look sexy or otherwise they're useless. Flat shoes just won't do. We must maintain the historical practice of objectifying women.
Fair enough if a woman wants to and enjoys wearing heels, but it shouldn't be forced on her. Especially if the only reason is to give clients hard ons.

I love how PwC say it's not their dress code and blame shift to some hiring company. And these are the geniuses we throw a lot of our government work to.

She should have waited a week.
I heard Dell are hiring.

I can see why the Huff Post pulled the article. Public confidence is crucial and anti-vaxxers are dangerous. They spread irrational fear and unsubstantiated claims. As a result, more people (stupid people) will buy into these false claims, choose to not vaccinate their children and compromise the herd immunity. Then leaving the majority of the population at risk of treatable infectious diseases. The return of measles is an example.
Spot on.
We're at the point now that letting anti-vac and climate denialist/skeptics access to influential media platforms to spruik their debunked arguments is akin to giving space to segregationists and pro abstinence loons.

The letter sounds written by a queen.
Well boys you were so wrong! *snaps*
So true!

The supporters should force the Republican politicians to support having guns at the convention.
Republican politicians are happy to have them in church and bars (where people get drunk
)... why not at the convention? Someone start a petition.

Who would be Hilary's VP and who would be Bernie's?

Sometimes I think free internet porn isn't worth this.

While surveys aren't foolproof, they give us a truer indication of the aggregate beliefs and values held by a population than your opinion on the matter.
And I'm fine. You're the one following me around and replying to my posts.

Nope.
Are you really generalizing the feeling of millions of millions of people according to what terrorist propaganda sells?
Are all christians like Trump?
No - I get my information from Pew research. http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-overview/
Where do you get yours - your ass?
You need to educate yourself before you come at me for a third time.

Bill Maher summed up well this rising ulta-PC attitude among middle class college kids.
-
Not because of this article, but Mehdi Hasan is an asshole.
He's an apologist for conservative side of Islam and homophobic.
So he represents the majority view?
-
And I agree Trump will be more liberal if he gets the gig - he's not an ideologue, he's just a populist. He'll turn on a dime.
-
Bernie served his purpose in making Hilary be more progressive.
Sadly, it's time to take a bow.

I hope Tony Windsor makes a comeback and knocks Barnaby Joyce out of his old seat.
-
I wouldn't underestimate Bill Shorten. Labor has seen the end of the careers of 14 Liberal Ministers and a Prime Minister.
Yes, Mr Bill Shorten masterminded all that...
-
If Labor wasn't led by a barely-literate, they would have a really good shot.
However, if Turnbull insists on being Abbott in different clothing - except without the convincing scare campaigns - he might just give it away to Shorten.

If it does in fact boil down to Trump vs. Hillary, I really hope we can count on the Bernie supporters to support the Democratic Party. It's not voting "out of fear;" it's doing the right thing. We cannot allow Trump to be president. We have to be united against him. The vast majority of the #BernieOrBust people are white straight men that have little to lose under a Trump presidency. As a black gay college student, I have EVERYTHING to lose under a Trump presidency so please don't contribute to his success by placing your vote on a total losing candidate. I'm begging all of you - for our sake.
I hear you but I think Trump is the perfect President to see out humanity when the catastrophic climate change tipping point is reached or terrorists finally get their hands on nuclear weapons. It just seems fitting.
In other words, you are asking people like me to go against my beliefs and principles and vote for a lying, corrupt, corporate fed politician "out of fear" of getting someone like Trump? Sorry, but we will have to disagree. It is voting "out of fear", not doing the right thing. Doing the right thing would be voting for a candidate with integrity in the first place, whether it's Sanders, Stein, or someone else. People have a rare chance to vote for someone with integrity and a consistent record, and they choose Hillary instead. So, now I'm just supposed to give up what I believe in because people have decided to vote against their own best interests and go with the establishment, celebrity, "safe" candidate? That's on her supporters, not on me and the other Bernie supporters. It goes both ways. If Trump wins, people can't just pin it on the Bernie supporters. Hillary will never get my vote ... and neither will Trump.
That's like saying you don't care if your balls get whacked by a sock or a wooden bat because the feather - your preferred option - is no longer available.
Son, your balls are going to get whacked either way, at least attempt to minimise the damage.

Forget about the personality, it's who has the right policies.

That was the scariest thing that came out of her mouth.
I really hope that none of those 12 kids ends up gay/transgendered. The fucking head trip her and her family would do to someone like that.
