I did not either in Thailand.
But Japan and China were a different story.

This is called a non sequitur. Other places being racist isn’t an argument.
So is saying Western Nations hold the exclusive rights on insane racism.

There was an uptick in attacks on Jews in the past few years. Such info comes from the news.

I looked on google and attacks on Jewish people were the highest.
I thought attacks on Asians or whites would be the highest.
Are Jews not white?
We’re not white, though many or maybe even most of us have white admixture, including myself. Some here have told me I’m white, and it’s not something I wish to argue about.

Kill whitey.
I am actually over half Cherokee. I look pretty white, but I tan very easily and a reddish color too lol.

No, but saying the West is the most racist is denying reality.
I would be one of those but when I looked at my own life and sense of identity I realized I was being a hypocrite. I believe I apologized to you.

What a great phrase. So succinct and evocative! And just a little in-your-face without being too hostile.
Delightful!

I just wanted to throw this into the mix. I think she’s pretty special.

You’re looking at a very small subset of men who are hyper successful and then saying that it’s not fair that there are a few very successful men and lots of unsuccessful women. And then you ignore that there are also hypersuccessful women (which is odd since you seem to be one), and that there are tons of unsuccessful men.
Being poor sucks. Being stupid sucks. Sometimes being alive kind of sucks (hence the title of this thread). But that applies to both men and women.

Yet isn’t one of the primary issues that qualifications are lowered for women? Do they get to play by special rules in gun fights?
Same for police and fire departments?
Could you honestly say you’d be enthused about a 5’3, 110 pound fire woman who struggles with 30 lbs kettlebells to be tasked with dragging you out of a burning building? Especially knowing she is on task because physical requirements were waived, not because she’s proven herself capable of helping?
Not to hijack the thread here, but I agree pets aren’t children. I do like dog parks though. I hunt with extremely well trained dogs, and I think it would surprise people how intelligent they are. Not just in learning commands, but fluid intelligence too. Understanding an objective and in many cases independently processing through scenarios to bring a successful hunt, with a few commands to communicate here and there. And not just retrievers, but catch dogs in dynamic roles. They develop obvious bonds and loyalty beyond instinct too.
Anyways, I don’t even remember the original context now and I’m not going through hundreds of posts looking for it, but I doubt I was suggesting dogs are human subs.
I’d trust a trained dog to pull me out of a fire more efficiently than most women though.
As a woman, I’m personally very very happy that I’m never going to get drafted and I don’t buy the “discrimination” argument.
However, there are positions in the military that women can be extremely competent in (e.g, intelligence, sniping, flying drones) so I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to make a blanket statement
Historically speaking, women have always been active in the armed forces and we are fortunate that the pressures that drove women to become involved are largely non existent at least in the western world
They’re women.
Even kids can fire guns.
I believe men and women have to pass the same test to become firefighters.
