    The new iPhone is sexist

    I've just read that the UN believes the Amazon Alexa is sexist. Using a female voice in the devices reinforces gender biases that woman are subservient. Whatever next!! :geek:

    The Alabama Ruling

    I answered one of yours and you didn't answer any of mine! :ROFLMAO: [Edit: Correction. I did actually answer all of yours. I said it based on the viewpoint of what defines the human life continuum. If it starts at fertilisation, then it is right that a raped woman should give birth, since...

    The Alabama Ruling

    If a doctor is deliberately breaking the law, they should be punished. What is the alternative? Anarchy. My political preferences do not cloud my thinking about whether or not politics are influential in the abortion debate. Politics are a hugely relevant factor. Democrats tend to be...

    Technology and religion: the parallels

    I just had a thought! There is talk on this forum of the evil of religion. There is also talk on this forum of the good of religion. So, could it be that religion is like technology, where it can be used for harm or good? Just like splitting the atom can create nuclear energy for the benefit...

    The Alabama Ruling

    Ok, so I have the answer: You see, the women voting that way isn't necessarily because they are women, but because they are Democrats. I think it is a pretty good guess of mine that they were Democrats. That is why it is wrong to bring gender into it, because this issue tends to be heavily...

    The Alabama Ruling

    I wonder if the 4 female senators were Democrats and the men were Republicans. Anyone know? There can be many reasons why the vote was split this way. Not all women believe that abortion should be allowed. And remember that both men and women voted to elect the senators, I would imagine. If a...

    I agree it works both ways. No one can be certain.

    I'm in love with a psychopath

    In the last episode I watched of The Society on Netflix, it was revealed that one of the people there was a psychopath. I've always been fascinated by the topic, liking watching things on serial killers and what goes into their psychological makeup. Then it occured to me. I'm in love with a...

    #MeToo and Movies

    Ok, here we go. Just got to a scene in this box set where the woman says she hates men. The guy she was with said he hates men too. Then he says, he probably sucks himself. I think we have the complete range of current narratives now.

    Bill Nye: Fake climate evangelist or Messiah?

    Bill Nye wants to save the planet. To get an idea of his credentials and taste, watch this video: What do you think of this genius? Should we take him seriously? Will he save us all?

    #MeToo and Movies

    Ok, another scene and a guy leans in and kisses a girl. She backed off about 1 inch, but didn't ask for consent. She also didn't say no, so it was very ambiguous. Where is the paperwork?

    #MeToo and Movies

    Ok, so this time a boy tries to kiss a girl. She says no, "You can't do that without asking." So, it appears we have a new protocol for the romantic scenes, where (say) James Bond asks for written consent before indulging. Married couples up and down the country end up with reams of paperwork...

    Attachment to material things

    I have a couple of old Microsoft Access books that I am contemplating throwing out. I think one is called Access Bible or something. It is a big thick book with getting on for 1,000 pages. I used these books a lot back in the day. But, I never use them now. But I have resistance to throw them...
