  1. Is Android better than iOS?

    I can't really compare the two at all since the only smart phones I have owned have all been Android. I can't see myself ever straying away from Android either as I have generally been quite happy with my phones.

  2. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    No, you actually didn't. I am wanting to know what you think the relationship is between biology and the sociocultural. It does, the way we conceive of the relationship between biological and sociocultural realms goes a long way towards shaping what is and isn't possible. Gender isn't a...

  3. Nations report card indicates worst decline in math and reading scores in decades.

    The timeframe for this decline was during the global pandemic. I am not surprised that they showed such a drastic drop then. I would have been surprised if it was anything other than this which resulted from the circumstances we are in right now. I do agree that it is tragic and more needs to be...

  4. QUESTION OF THE DAY: IS IT TIME FOR CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE?

    Yes, I agree with the principle of civil disobedience. Unjust and immoral laws or policies should not be followed or respected. Being just requires illegal activity at times. It makes no difference whether the source of the injustice is from the public or private realms.

  5. Minimum Wage

    Definitely agree that the minimum wage is too low, as you mention it hasn't kept pace with inflation at all. The minimum wage should be a living wage. Something we are close to here in New Zealand but we are not quite there. Our minimum wage is $21.20 whereas living wage is $23.65. That is NZD...

  6. Last Game Played

    I had only played through 5 the one time and this was the PS1 version of it. To be honest I didn't think it was all that memorable. Playing through it a second time I am enjoying it a lot more than I expected. I think I had undervalued it previously and am glad I am replaying it. I still need to...

  7. Disney creates satanic cartoons for children

    Simply being on their streaming service does not mean that they are targeting it at kids. Why do you think they added parental controls to their streaming service? They have a new CEO and are expanding into other demographics now. Considering the vast scope of the Disney empire and all the IPs...

  8. Disney creates satanic cartoons for children

    Except for the detail that they are literally not targeting children with it. Their streaming service is part of their attempts to expand their reach and market. The notion of cartoons which are aimed at older audiences has been around for a long time now. I am actually surprised now that you...

  9. Libs of TikTok Threaten To Sue Twitter Over Ban Practices

    Aren't they always going on about how private companies should be free to enact their own policies and procedures? Referring to the right in general.

  10. Disney creates satanic cartoons for children

    I am not seeing the controversy. There have been stories about supernatural beings having sex with mortals for a while now. Also like PGen98 identified it isn't even targeted at kids.

  11. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    That is literally what gender is. The cultural and social understandings. Or should we invent a third word to refer to these? If so what value is there in having two words that refer to the biology and one word which refers to the sociocultural? Would it not make more sense to have one referring...

  12. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    You haven't really addressed my question. I am wanting to know more directly what you are asserting is the relationship between gender and sex. You have said they are the same thing. The problem with this is about the biological differences and gender is about the social and cultural...

  13. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    The only area I would disagree with him is in the assertion that they are totally distinct concepts. As I believe that gender and sex both exercise influence on each other. In a real sense they mutually construct each other. The biological and sociocultural do not exist in separate realities...

  14. last soviet leader dies at 91

    It is ironic to refer to him as the last Soviet leader after he betrayed his people and the revolution. His counterrevolutionary nonsense inflicted a lot of needles suffering as he subject his people to the brutalities of neo-liberal structural adjustment policies.

  15. Nations report card indicates worst decline in math and reading scores in decades.

    Which is a shame as it isn't like there is nowhere to improve the education system. There are still lots of shortcomings where it does need serious reform. Do you still have an equivalent of the Headstart programme? Last I heard the conservatives were trying to get rid of that. Under quite...

  16. Nations report card indicates worst decline in math and reading scores in decades.

    What time period is it referring to?;

  17. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Which you are totally and completely correct on. I am confused as to how there can even be any debate about this. Gender is literally a term that came into existence to be defined against sex.

  18. Favorite sports teams?

    I am not so sure. I think the international scene is a lot more competitive now. Which I think is a lot better for the game overall. We still have some amazing players but the rest of the rugby world has caught up now. Ireland just had their historic series win over us 2 -1/ Not so much of...

  19. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at that. It certainly is within the realm of possibility given how freely they have been drawing from outdated and disproven arguments and frameworks. I have read articles from the 1980s decrying how frustrating it is that they continue to go back to the...

  20. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    It is incredibly discouraging and disheartening to see this trends playing out. Firstly, and most importantly because of the all to real cost they have on people's lives. We had not even reached a point of parity, yet we are finding the gains which had been made are getting rolled back. Secondly...
