When you are born into this world you have the ability to earn as much as any man and no matter how many times you quote a wage gap this will always be the case, the wage gap is meaningless.

Just like how in America, you can accomplish anything regardless of your background, class, race, economic status, etc., right?

Barack. Had zero experience and still became president one of the most prestigious titles in the U.S

He was Editor of the Harvard Law Review. After eight years of the Constitution being used as a punchline, I can think of no more relevant experience than that of having to deal with competing legal ideologies in a fair and balanced manner.

I don't think you understand... Sarah Palin had experience. She was mayor for 5 years and governor for 2. Thats 7 years of exuctive experience. Barrack was senator for 3 terms and could not make up his mind on quite a few bills.He had legal experience but zero presidential experience. I guess biden will fix his mistakes.

This is a joke, right?

Tell me where he got experience running a city? State? Well maybe he got some experience from community organizing but then thats saying that I got enough experience to be a successful general of an army because I play RTS games.. Eh, I guess I am just jaded and hate everything.

The exception does not make the trend.

Although I would *love* to see any one of you being the editor of Harvard Law Review.

I would *love* it if America stopped screwing up, But then who would the world have to poke fun at?

I'll hold a door open for anyone, it's just politeness. I've never been chided for it because I act as if it's something one should simply do, if you've opened the door and you're not in a hurry, stand aside and let someone through.

That's my thought. I'm female, and I'll hold the door open for anyone. If someone holds open the door for me, I show him/her the same kindness they have just shown me and say, "Thank you".

I'm not sure I get the whole heavy handed feminism or anti-feminism (sorry, am I spelling that right?). I might get offended if it was shoved at me in a way that says "poor, weak person who needs help because she's a girl". But I've never in my life encountered that, so I can't really say.

I'm glad you decided to not actually address my point. Then again, it should be common knowledge by now that deriding Obama for his lack of experience is just a pisspoor argument for just about anything.

Again what experience? Being a lawyer? Last time I checked the president did not make laws nor did he examine them.

Last time I checked the president didn't get shot down by rice paddy workers.

Experience is not what defines a great president.

Eh, On those counts barack wins yes.

But with presidents bushes embarrassing us on a global scale the only place barack will be able to go is up.

Your post reminds me of a news story some years back where a womyn was suing some restaurant or something akin to that because the bathroom doors were marked either 'men' or 'women', and she seriously wanted to have the owner change it to 'womyn'.

I think I read that story, and that had to read it again to make sure I was reading it and undertsanding it correctly. Why and how she chose this one place as opposed to the millions of others I'll never understand.

Then once, when I was in college, I belonged to a fraternity. One of our 'rush' shirts had a montage of numerous iconic characters on it back in the day. In addition to Bug Bunny, Terminator, Wolverine, Magic Johnson and a host of others, there was the 'Swedish Biking Team' on there.

Before I knew it, the Womyn's organization on campus (yes...there was one) had reported us to the dean on our stance on violence towards women. I think we were all stunned as we co-mingle with the sororities, did fund raising events for community groups, and even held seminars on rape avoidance an what not.

The dean explained to us that we needed to change our shirts as the Womyn found our shirt offensive as there was the Terminator holding a gun and the Swedish Bikini Team...of course insinuating that we wanted to promote gunplay towards women.

I knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore at that point, and the rules of the world changed for me that day. 'Womyn', set back 'women' more than they can possibly grasp.

I don't think you understand that an editor is an executive office. About 235 of the 434 members of the 108th Congress had law degrees, more than the number with master's, medical, and doctoral degrees combined. I'd say executive experience in dealing with a body of lawyers pushing their own interests and ideologies is excellent executive experience for being President.

So running a state with a population over a million is not on par with 434 other people?

Not to mention he did not lead, He more was grouped together and it was teamwork.

Rails------------------------------------------------The thread.

Anyway, The militant feminists are few and far between in RL, it mostly seems to me to be the rest of the population throwing the occasional sheep into their cave that causes the most issues.

That and the fact the minority seems always to be MUCH louder than the rest.

The foresight to look out for random people around you is a long forgotten skill. If I am going into 7-11 or what not and someone is approaching the door I will hold the door for them to let them get the door and such. I do this for anyone and sometimes I will even hold it for someone a little ways off if I am not too much in a hurry and they look like they would appreciate the effort. But you are right, people that view your act of kindness as purely a pickup line of sorts is astonishing to say the least.

What I would have said is, "Obviously you appear capable of opening the door by yourself, however, I arrived her just before you did, so since you were behind me I kept the door open for you, instead of letting it slam shut on you. If I had of known you would have preferred that I let the door slam shut on you, I sure would have let you show your prowess and abilities by spectacularly opening the door all by yourself. I didn't realize that the act of a woman boldly opening her own door was such a sign of her accomplishments."

And I mean if you like held the door open for her and was like "hey toots" .. then obviously she might have a response like what you posted before. But it sounds like that is the case. But instead of being apprehensive towards the whole issue, harbor a level of humor at the scope of the situation. I would blow it off, and keep opening the door for people. Not everyone is like her, I hope.

How about we stop derailing this thread? No you may not comment on me anymore. I refuse to add argument fuel...For now.

You guys realize that this has nothing to do with the thread at hand? Start some other thread if you want to argue about Barack Obama's qualifications.

Not in the least.

"Alaska has a merit selection system for judges and justices. The governor appoints a supreme court justice or a judge of the court of appeals, superior court, or district court from a list of qualified candidates submitted by the Alaska Judicial Council. The governor has 45 days from receipt of the list to make the appointment."

as opposed to:

"The Constitution merely indicates that "the judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court" as well as in any lower federal courts that Congress may establish (Article III, Section 1) and that the president "by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint...Judges of the supreme Court" (Article II, Section 2). Congress has applied the same selection procedure to the appeals and the trial courts. "

The Governor of Alaska doesn't face nearly the same issues in appointing judges--the Alaska Judicial Council hands her the list she can pick from. Contrast this with the debacles that were Bork and Miers.

Not to mention he did not lead, He more was grouped together and it was teamwork.

Right...assistant editors just naturally work together smoothly because they're on a 'team'...

yo, i don't know if u noticed but the qualifications of barack obama have ALMOST NOTHING to do with feminism being taken too far and the impacts of such.

MAKE ANOTHER THREAD FOR THIS ARGUMENT!
