Bill Maher's final comment from Religulous (Spoiler)

Hanns says...

>> ^osama1234:
I dont know so much about the christian parts of that clips, but from the muslim bits he used, to me it seemed to show that he didn't have a proper understanding of the religion. This fact really struck me when he was making the leap of logic that just because a religion believes in the final day, that somehow its OK to pillage the earth (environmentally), according to the religion.


I don't know about Muslims, but I have personally spoken with Christians who feel that God put everything here just for our benefit. Therefore, it's perfectly fine to pillage the environment because it's here specifically for our benefit anyway. It's a really convenient worldview that ignores any consequences for those actions.

Canadian Commercial - Overqualified Workers

Hanns says...

I manage a team of clerical workers. The job entails answering phones, communicating with clients, faxing reports and that sort of thing. When I put an ad out to fill a position, I regularly get people with B.S. degrees or higher, or people who are highly qualified in IT because the job title has 'specialist' in it. While these people are technically able to do the job, they are very overqualified. This means:

1. They are looking for a job to hold them over just long enough to find something better. That means they will leave and I'll have to hire again shortly.
2. They will be bored, and may not do a great job due to frustration. The old "I hate my dead end job!" mentality.
3. We can't afford to pay them what someone of their education level and/or experience should be paid. That leads to #1.

It's an all around lose. Yeah, the job might help their immediate problem, but beyond that, no one wins.

To be fair though, this video seemed to pose the opposite problem: people who are very well qualified ending up in low end positions. I'd be surprised to see that in real life though - most managers won't hire someone like that for a janitorial job for the reasons I just outlined.

God bless you!

Fuck You, Female Coworker!

>> ^rychan:
Downvoted for the abuse of statistics, etc, as Krupo and MaxWilder already pointed out. If you pay a woman less for the same performance at the same job with the same experience, then yes, that's asinine.
But just because women on a national scale are paid less than men doesn't men there's any discrimination. It means they choose to work part time and put families first, choose to avoid high paying high-tech fields, choose to avoid working on oil rigs, etc...


I really wish a course in statistics were required at the highschool level. Given the amount of random statistics thrown at us each day, I think highschools could afford to teach something that will actually be useful in everyday life (unlike, for example, PE, which was a complete waste of time... at least for me).

How fast can a dry Christmas tree set your house on fire?

Hanns says...

What was the ignition source there? I think I remember a Mythbusters episode where they did this, but found that the heat from the lights alone wasn't enough to do it. Bad wiring could though.
