Equal Pay Myth Day

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Martin Luther King was being very passive-aggressive when he complained about discrimination against black people, right?

[Kidlicious]

Ignoring that.

< 10% isn't evidence of discrimination. Work harder if you want more.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Now I see. Women are just lazy.

Now I see. Women are just lazy.

Yes. They won't bring him a beer or make him a sandwich.

[Kidlicious]

There are a lot of women who don't believe that there is gender discrimination. I don't believe they are lazy.

[-Jrabbit]

So laziness is determined by whether or not someone agrees with you?

Good to know.

[DinoDoc]

You've essentially summarized the White House response when they were asked why they paid the women on their staff less than men.

[Kidlicious]

So laziness is determined by whether or not someone agrees with you?

Good to know.

There's good reason to believe that people who take respomsibilty work harder. You have a right to your opinion though.

[-Jrabbit]

While I did not express an opinion, it is reassuring to know that you acknowledge my right to have one.

[Patroklos]

Getting paid less for the same job is a choice.

So far nobody has shown this to be a case. What was it , a nine cent an hour difference earlier in the thread?

Reading isn't your strong suit, is it?

When people flat out refuse the plain truth that speaks volumes.

Like the religionistas who refused to believe the earth was a globe, and that it revolved around the sun ?

Shouldn't be too hasty with the past tense.

Everyone knows that the ancient idea of Earth in the center of the universe is a ridiculous holdover from a superstitious age, right? Modern science has proven that we are nothing special! We inhabit, in Carl Sagan's words, "....an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people."
Well....prepare to be shocked!
"The Principle", destined to become one of the most controversial films of our time, brings before the public eye astonishing results from recent large-scale surveys of our universe- surveys which disclose unexpected evidence of a preferred direction in the cosmos, aligned with our supposedly insignificant Earth.

Set for theatrical release in Spring 2014, "The Principle" includes narration by Kate Mulgrew ("Star Trek Voyager", "Orange Is The New Black", and "Ryan's Hope"), stunning animations by BUF Compagnie Paris ("Life of Pi", "Thor"), and commentary from prominent scientists including George Ellis, Michio Kaku, Julian Barbour, Lawrence Krauss, and Max Tegmark.

Tracing the development of cosmology from its inception (Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid at Giza), through the great revolution of Copernicus, to the astonishing new discoveries of Earth-oriented alignments in the largest structures of our visible universe, "The Principle" leads us face-to-face with the question, and the challenge- what does this mean for the future of mankind?

That and a new film of the La Haye Rapture nonsense- what a great year.
