He's asking specifically to Affirmative Action which is specific program in the US based on race, not on living conditions nor wealth, nor any other socioeconomic factor (race is being used as a proxy for that). It would be much more reasonable if they actually used socioeconomic status. | ||

Well it is slightly more complicated than I presented it, but that is the core of the pending SCOTUS case. EDIT: Here is a brief description of how big an issue and why it matters: www.aei.org | ||

Are you telling me that being outraged at things on you-tube and other sites is a good way to get hits? You mean all those men making endless anti feminist videos might be doing for the money? | ||

Despite what the commercial may promise, you really don't want Carl's Jr. in Denmark. Carl's Jr. is like an Arby's and a Burger King had a sad, bastard love child that is some how even worse for you than its parents. | ||

Why is McDonald 3 times a day a nutritional problem? | ||

Well, plethora of reasons really, but the most obvious is that it is rather calorie-dense and doesn't satiate very well. That is an issue when no one in the family, including the kid, has a BMI below 35 (and none of them were weightlifters). | ||
