we were talking in women studies about how clinton faces sexism and so much backlash for being women. One of the main things is how nobody cares about bernies ilegitimate son, where is if that was hillary all hell would break lose and people would attack her credibility. It was this time article about the sexism she has to face.

Nobody cares about Hillary being a woman. They care about her supposedly being a crook and/or sellout that's been bought by big corporations.
Since those things actually matter for the job. Even if after 20 years of constant trying nothing has managed to stick.
-
There are some double-standards involved; for example, if Hillary got as angry and loud as Bernie gets during debates, she'd get pounced on as "shrill" and "uncooperative".
Part of this is genuine sexism, part of it is the contingent of people who decided 20 years ago that they hated her and have not shut up about how she's the spawn of Satan, part of it is both.
-
I didn't actually watch the video posted earlier, just read what was said. And now having seen it and heard it in motion by chance on the news today….wow yeah fits with sentence one there that people thought that was WHOA SHE LOST HER TEMPER.

I do think this is true to some extent. but hasn't really been the case with hillary people don't care. I have to roll my eyes when in class because I don't think i've ever taken a class where we have discussions about things that really don't exist (cough whitemalepatriarchycough). I mean it gets thrown around so many times wtf does it really mean. Such an outdated concept. Sorry I'm going off tangent but I hate this class lol.
On one hand people are making her to be a liar because of some of the stuff she has said about gay marriage, and supporting legislation that would hurt minorities. I think it could be a case that she has changed her outlook rather than being a massive liar trying to come off as similar to bernie on political issues.
Whatever the case, even if she has changed her outlook, it's a valid reason to be skeptical. After-all, we can only hope candiates keep their promise we have nothing else to wor k on. We pray that they follow up. For that reason, i don't particularly like her. Even if bernie gets strong opposition in congress i think his so called "political revolution" might help elect social democrats in congress.

I'm almost done with it anyways. but yeah not a really enjoyable class. It's a faggot class don't take it. everyone echo chambers each others ideas. Oh im also the only dude in the entire class.
we talk about similar stuff in psychology but it's a lot more interesting in psychology tbh. Cuz its objective and unbiased, and i'm also not the only one who is a dude.
-
spoken like a true white male

That's the thing with privileges, if you don't earn them you don't even know that you have them.

If you're the only dude in the class full of females how is it a faggot class? Since the females cannot be faggots since they would be lesbians which is a good thing if they let you watch also i once took a cooking class just for the free food in school i was the only dude and i got more action from the females from that class coming to me asking for it than i did before i took the cooking class since they were so impressed a guy could cook.
You choose very bad wording calling it a faggot class since you said you're the only dude in the class which means if you're telling the truth you must be turning down all the females in the class unless you have a male teacher but him being a faggot would be a good thing since they would have to come to you since the teacher would be a faggot so they would not be able to get better grades from him lol.
I'm actually asian nice try pulling the race card.
You're acting like a white male which is why he said that just like how some white people act like they're black rappers lol.

I think I lost a few brain cells reading Sanjis post. The word "faggot" wasn't used literally. And yes, im the only dude including the teacher.

Gotta love putin being like "everyone ceasefire we don't want more poeple to die". When putin plays the nice guy lol. I think it was expected to break but I highly doubt an all out war would come about or escalate any further.

It's a really hard concept though honestly.

looks at literally any country, identifies majority/dominant demographic, in the US is white peopleCan't figure out what demographic is societally advantaged!!! a puzzle

You started off well and then you just kinda started fucking up. I mean, no, Hillary isn't facing any kind of overt sexism but there's some subtle digging here and there. Her whole integrity being questioned because of her husband's infedility is a prime example. I mean, when a husband is unfaithful what does that say about the woman? Not good enough am I right? You made some pretty good points here that were hitting close to home. Too bad you went off on a tangent.

That's some Phd level of thinking there, don't ask this of a normal student.

Earthquake is telling me via PM that white privilege only exists in North America. Which as a Moroccan-Belgian I'm sure you can absolutely confirm as true.

Oh yeah I confirm 100 %.
There is no such thing outside of the US,
not in Brazil , not in places like Sudan, Mauritania or South Africa, not in Europe, etc…No, minorities in any given setting do not need to struggle to get to the same level of privilege as the majority.
-
"everybody's a faggot" Who signed up for the class? Why are you even there? You're in support of Hilory who you assume is being repressed as a woman. And in the same sentence pretend women arn't repressed. Are you speaking out of your ass.

Oh really? I, a transgender woman, am getting schooled in PM by the very same person about how "Faggot" isn't an Anti-LGBT slur anymore.
I need to get this news to GLADD, they really need to know this.

You're a fool by calling it a faggot class since you said it yourself in the post quoted below that you're the only male in the class so you're calling yourself a faggot and i was trying to be nice by not directly calling you it since i did not need to because you said it yourself lol.

Ah, it brings back fond memories of women's college.
Especially when a guy from one of the neighboring consortium colleges would come for a transfer class and be the only guy sitting in a room full of females. Forget trying to hook up with the whole room, he would be shivering in his sneakers in the corner while the rest of the class stared at him. mwahaha

About eleven million documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Foncesca were leaked and among them were documents revealing how the company helped people launder money or evade taxes. Clients that include seventy-two former or current world leaders and the families; among them, the Mubaraks, Gaddafis, Bashar al-Assad, and Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson, the sitting Prime Minister of Iceland.
It also revealed the existence of a massive money laundering ring involving Bank Rossiya and several close friends of Vladimir Putin.
Complicating things since 2009.

Yeah, was just gonna post that. Even Jackie Chan got implicated. Apparently there are some big things to come on US names that have been suspiciously absent so far,
and
that the media outlets have been trickling out. It will be interesting to see what comes of this, since it is a huge data break (2.6 TB worth of info).
This could be pretty big.
Edit: Apparently the first part was just kinda mistranslated and the dude was just telling people to chill. Still interested in seeing what dirt shows up on our homeboys.
Double Edit: Apparently the latter is also kind of faulty. I thought it suspicious, since I know Wikileaks isn't in charge of this stuff, but for now I'm assuming that all they meant to say is that they'll archive the leaks and make them searchable on their site, not that they have access to them all. In retrospect, it would be kind of silly for them of all people to be playing coy with this shit. There's still a lot of stuff to sift through, though, and it'll be worth paying attention to.

Hmmm Before we covered that Blogs are not to be covered here. But the link that was used that got us talking was from just a random site, not a 'newspaper site. IF it appears in such a site, such as The Huffington Post dot com, is it acceptable to post here?
I saw an article on dangers of drowsy driving being an equal danger as drunk driving and thought it interesting. Then I saw it was a blog and remembered another member getting told 'no links to blogs' only official news sites.
Its a blog but from an official news site, is it allowed?
-
Whether you found it on a news site or not, it's the truth. My wife does sleep research and has told me on several occasions that there's a plethora of studies that show that sleep deprivation has the same effects on the brain as intoxication.
-
I thought it was the truth, and yes, they do compare it to intoxication. As someone that has insomnia and has gone nearly 30 hrs without sleep at one or 3 days with only 4 hrs sprinkled in (well both are more due to insomnia + flu derived congestion), I believe it.
Its a horrible state to be in.My only question was if it would be acceptable to post a link here.

The sheer scope of the data leak and its implications is simply staggering, esp. when one considers the impoverished nature of many, many, many of these countries.
So much wealth being handled in the dark ($2 billion by Vladmir Putin alone).But don't expect to find too many US names on it, because here offshoring is legal! Silly international community. _(ツ)_/¯
-
Yeah that was an interrogation point, why there weren't any US politicians / big shots on the list.
So that's why. But even then it would've been interesting to know who's offshoring even if it's legal.

Well, fear not. There will be more.
Don't expect many politicians or well-known figures, nor any major US Banks (much more of Mossack Fonseca's business came from other countries, with Hong Kong, Switzerland, and the UK in the top three places).
It seems the US & Panama have a trade agreement that since 2010 obliges Panama to provide (on request) information regarding…
"company ownerships, partnerships, trusts, foundations, etc. including all such persons in an ownership change."
And wealthy Americans have many more options for securing their offshore holdings because according to the Economist,
"the business of setting up shell companies in tax havens is competitive."But that doesn't mean more names won't be forthcoming. The 11.5 million documents will take some time to go through.

mind to rest.I've often wondered about that myself; seems like being supported by people who only want you there so the world can end in fire (with you going to Hell in the process) would be somewhat off-putting

Except small Iceland not even a single westerner's name? And for your information, Putin does not have any account or money in all those panama papers, only friends of his. All this story is target him and him alone, because all the other names are people who have already been overthrown, tortured and murdered, or Putin, where as I said not a single appearance of his name, but it seems, it doesn't matter.
