Now, there is probably going to be new carpet and draperies. Probably some flowers, too. Ugh. -- nm - David Aug 24, 16:15 28
- what she needed was some discipline. Thank God Captain Jellico made her put on a uniform. -- nm - Remlik Aug 24, 16:20 26
  - you missed this morning's thread about women protesting against equal rights in Mali. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 24, 16:22 25
    - HA! I had just left home. -- nm - Remlik Aug 24, 16:24 24
      - I love how it's only the "educated" women who are in favor, and that's derogatory. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 16:24 23

        Sarah Palin has found her constituency though. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 16:33
        
        it's the appeal to "regular" folks. The Sarah Palin crowd of Mali. - loosilu Aug 24, 16:33 4
        
        I love that they are in every way possible kindred spirits to the Low Right here yet neither group would admit it due to religious conflicts. -- nm - David Aug 24, 16:35 1
        
        The international community should find a way to exploit that, to shame Mali into equal rights. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 16:36
        
        jinx! -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 16:33 1
        
        you, my friend, are clearly a genius. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 16:35
        
        exhibit A in how religion can drive people insane. -- nm - znufrii Aug 24, 16:31 5
        
        or rather "peoples" - znufrii Aug 24, 16:32 4
        
        Mob mentality is definitely an under-studied aspect of human psychology. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 24, 16:33 3
        
        There have been studies done. And, of course, people have learned how to harness the power of mobs for their own nefarious ends. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 16:35 1
        
        Examples: Obama, Al Gore, Toyota (Prius/Synergy hybrid drive). - Beryllium Aug 24, 16:41

        Damn east (?) coast Malian elitists! -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 16:26 3
        
        west coast, I guess, for them. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 16:27 2
        
        though really it's landlocked. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 16:28 1
        
        technicalities! I had to check that just now. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 16:32
        
        tangentially appropriate is the facebook status of a friend of mine from earlier today... - znufrii Aug 24, 16:25 5
        
        you might ask why she objects to being called a feminist. :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 16:26 4
        
        I don't think that's where her objection lies. -- nm - znufrii Aug 24, 16:29
        
        Yeah, I always went by the bumpersticker that says "Feminism is the radical notion that women are people." - Dr.Vermin Aug 24, 16:29 2
        
        As recently as 1929 it was decided law in Canada that they were not. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 16:36
        
        I think she is baffled that an idea as common-sensical as treating women as people is even deserving of a label. -- nm - znufrii Aug 24, 16:30
- The huggie-feelie types tend to overcompensate when give real power. Death to all her enemies! -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 16:17
Ro better put her in her place! -- nm - Remlik Aug 24, 16:14
