To emphasize that he was born in Real America, not in some made-up state like Hawaii.

my guess is: to watch the obama minions freak out & make fools of themselves. then laugh @ them in his ultra rich 1% evil laugh.

He didn't say anything that wasn't true.
It's true that no-one questioned his birth place.

I suspect there's no wage disparity between butch lesbians and men.

i have no idea why he's being unlawfully imprisoned when he's been proven innocent. when he finally walks out, he'll be greeted by every lawyer for miles around.

Obama will lose because he only won by 5% and the people who only voted for him to prove they weren't racist now have to vote for Romney to prove they are not mentally retarded.

It must be a result of all of your threads on the matter!

Do you really believe that the Israeli/Palestinians dispute is comparable with racism in the USA? The issues are completely different.

The topic seems to be to post article after article to advance one side of the issue.

You just have to paint me as a supporter of the other side, love it. Are you seriously suggesting you believe that it's either your side or there's?

I'm not aware of any Israeli company called "Converse". Your reliable source couldn't even spell the company name right.

If you saw those as insults I'd say a thicker skin is called for. You are militant on the issue and it seems quite touchy to boot.
It's interesting that you're fixating on the "error" and ignoring the rest of what was said. That's not debate btw, it's just being pedantic for the sake of it.
I could be similarly pedantic if you like and linguistically deconstruct the language you used to prove that you are indeed personalising the issue. That's not a genuine offer btw, I really don't care. It's enough for me to know I'm right.
Suffice to say we are now off topic again. And this happened how?

I'm ok with a 9 cent gap. I'd pay 9 cents more to a guy just so I don't have to hear a woman yap all day long.

That web site admits that 60% of the gap is explained by differences between male and female workers and their jobs.
60 percent - that's huge! So the real gap is not 23 cents but 9.2 cents due to discrimination alone. That's more realistic.

It's amazing to me how people have to personalise these things. You ask a few questions and look at the response. Wow.
I read the OP article. I get it. I just don't get what you want people to say about it. Nor do I get what the point is of posting article after article on this that amounts to an extremely one-sided view of the issue.
To me your stance seems to be extremely militant. I see the issue as a nuanced one - but then I'm not personally invested in it either way.
Saying that, I do know that there is no reasoning with a lot of people over the dispute and that if ever there is to be a solution to that mess it's cooler heads who will need to prevail. Speaking about cooler heads, I would say you are most certainly not amongst them.

Well when you cherrypick, you can find a 'stretch' but only if you're prepared to ignore the general point being made, which you seem intent on doing. I'm not interested in semantics, sorry.
So the US State Dept. has defined Israeli settler violence as terrorism. Read it the first time. What is you want people to say about it?
This may also be a stretch, but I really don't think many people here are all that bothered about choosing sides on that issue. Arguing about who is to blame is why the problem persists.

Of course. How about a man and a man doing the same job and getting paid differently? Or two women?
There's no rule that says that any two people should get the same paycheck for the same job.

That's the calculation. Which is why this number is very misleading.
Right, if you look at comparable men and women - i.e. in the same industry, same education, grade levels, etc. - then there is no pay gap.

The more, the better.

Be careful, they often veer north and head for NC...... which is where the Dems will be partying at their convention.

Age of consent in Minnesota is 16. No money was exchanged. If the boy was 18 would this make it less distasteful?
Q: What would prompt an 18 year old girl to want sex with a man nearly 40 years older than herself?
A: Just ask on VJ. I'm sure many of those answering would say love was involved.
