Too much clapping
[QUOTE=MadPro119;46976813]Too much clapping[/QUOTE]
America.
I hate State of the Union speeches. It's never the actual "state of the union", it's stats just pulled out to the make the current president look good.
Here's the full speech if you hate the applause interruptions or just prefer reading it instead: [url]http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/full-speech-barack-obama-s-state-of-the-union-address-1.2198275[/url]
Women earning gap... really Obama

It's an important issue, along with racial earnings gaps. Don't dismiss it just because "fucking sjws....". Sure, the gap is closing now, but that doesn't meant we just stop discussing it.
It's nice to see Obama talking about raising your laughable excuse for a minimum wage, I hope he follows through with that, it'd help so many people.

[Quote]MYTH 5: Women earn 77 cents for every dollar a man earns—for doing the same work.
FACTS: No matter how many times this wage gap claim is decisively refuted by economists, it always comes back. The bottom line: the 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time. It does not account for differences in occupations, positions, education, job tenure or hours worked per week. When such relevant factors are considered, the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing.[/quote]

Boehner won't stand up or clap for job growth, lower unemployment, higher wages for low income earners, or getting troops out of conflicts.
But he'll sure as Hell stand up and clap to the idea of hunting down and killing all terrorists. I thought he was just not clapping for anything, but it turns out he just doesn't want to give Obama credit for anything. What a partisan asshat.
Chalk up Climate Change in things he won't clap for or acknowledge. Actually, make it [i]every[/i] Republican in the room.

I hate Boner (and no, it isn't pronounced "Bey-ner" you fuck, your last name is BONER so deal with) with a passion. Hell, I hate Congress as a whole.

[quote]Maids make $19,570 a year at the median, for example, while janitors make $22,590.[/quote]
It says right here in my patriarchy handbook that women can't apply to work as Janitors.
[quote]“The gender gap in pay would be considerably reduced and might even vanish if firms did not have an incentive to disproportionately reward individuals who worked long hours and who worked particular hours,” [/quote]
Its fucked up how people who work more and at specific company compatible times get more money.
I'm gonna go straight to Walmart and let them know that they can improve their profit margins by only hiring women!

Just like the New Republic is a heavily left slanted website.
You can't trust either.
My teacher made me count how many times the audience stood up and clapped as an assignment. Does anyone have an exact number because I fell asleep.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;46977556]i guess you're going to go and say that glass ceilings also dont exist[/QUOTE]
Seems like it exists. Will probably just take time for men and women to become equal after hundreds of years of men only receiving education and what not.
However, I would say that men and women might have different priorities and goals in life as well as define success differently.

Someone on Fox News said 72 or something
