@ant, kids channel is FOR kids, not about kids..

Well, the children were not his kids (despite your insistence to the contrary), so your entire argument is fallacious.

But far be it from me to interfere with your consensual sadomasochistic relationship with an abuser who, according to you, is never wrong... So, the abuse really isn't a "problem," since you've consented to it. It's far too "progressive" for me to try to talk you -- or any other stranger -- out of an abusive relationship that you choose to be in (and even try to defend)!

I hope you enjoy your statist fetishism, you naughty boy!

This is not a kid, he is a young man at 19 years old. Why is everyone so sad for him that he has to go live on his own? $60K on the go fund me site is ridiculous.

When I was 18, a few months after graduating high school, my mom asked me to move out because I was coming home to late. (Fortunately it wasn't quite the heated discussion this guy had to endure) Should I have been crying to everyone I knew about how unfair it was and that my mom didn't love me?

I agree that this guy's parents are horrible and ignorant, but I don't feel bad for this guy. He is an adult and needed to get away from those people if he was going to have any chance of not being like them. If anything being gay will help him move away from the ignorance that he was raised with and hopefully make him a better human than his parents.

But like Magicpants says, when you compare across equivalent jobs, the number is closer to 90-95%.

That can be attributed to employers factoring in potential maternity leave and the general lower likelihood of women working overtime. These are not necessarily fair as some women will work long overtime and not have kids (or have the father take leave) but there's a rational reason for employers to assume this on average.

Realistically, I would argue that the best way to approach this is purely through awareness. Mandates on pay scales or opening up companies to lawsuits for unequal pay would, if anything, make the issue worse. Which is why this being brought up in politics seems like a play for votes for an issue that can't be effectively tackled with policy and instead requires cultural changes.

Take for example, South Korea, which has much more serious discrimination. Women earn 63% of what men do, and are expected to not return to work after having children. This has created an opportunity where domestic cultural biases allow foreign firms to come in a scoop up female talent cheaper. Over time, this will give them a competitive edge, raise wages for women, and help overturn the cultural stigma.

Not for kids when they showed the exec smoking at the start, and not really aimed at them anyway.

Are they fucking...? No... Dammit, no, they're not fucking kidding. Sheesh.

YES IT IS PREPOSTEROUS! THANK YOU FOR ASKING!

(Remember, kids channel is "for kids", not "about kids".)

And yeah - *nochannel, *dark, *fear, *british, *worldaffairs, - this is not for kids.

Yeah the title is a bit a-hole. I'd bet at least some of the kid's teachers know, they just don't want to get involved. It's not the kids fault he's being bullied, it he moved to a different school, the bullies would just find someone else to pick on.

Your video, NEW! Try "NOT HAVING KIDS", has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

So was that an "official" sesame street video?

Seems like an odd topic for them to parody, given that most of their target demographic (hopefully) hasn't seen or read the Hunger Games. It's not exactly kid friendly stuff.

Still funny though

I like him. But he's talking about going back to before nationalism gave everyone an easy identity and consumerism something harmless to power to think about (shopping and tv).
He never mentions how the old way used to work out for the majority - straight up hard power rule. Sadly that seems the more likely outcome of his revolution -spiritual or not - rich kids fixing the libor rates or starting oil wars really don't have a crisis to deal with. They think its awesome and if their choice is to become (relatively) poor or go tiananmen square on our asses.. Guess what. Better to rule in hell than serve in heaven they say and they mean it.

It seems the arguing is sufficiently covered here, so I'll just say that this video is definitely not for kids.

I don't think this is a "win", either, but it's arguable (see above) and the channel is retarded, so fuck it.
