After thinking this thread over, I am convinced of two things. 1) the guy who says he has no social and no taxes probably has both 2) he was home schooled, and since he has that 'mystery card' to play, he decided to lie his *** off in order to espouse some moral aggenda that his parents burdened him with during his home schooling.
That's what I'm going with...hehehe

Add this factor with their initial failure to negotiate salary, and you cannot argue with the fact that women are more highly paid than their counterparts in many instances. I work with many women at my current employer. All but one make more $$ than I.

Hahaha...that's what I was thinking. Does helladumb think they are paid more because they are women? Maybe this is the heart of the sexism? Who knows...

Wow, sorry I hit a soft spot...I was really just joking around with that one. I don't know you (well only in a political sense, not a workplace one), and I don't know the women you work with, so of course I don't pass judgement on any of that. Again sorry for the low blow of sorts. You have to admit that you opened yourself up for that one, though, after pretty much saying women's sufferage is BS and then explaining that women make more than you...

I'm used to it but this thread actually was allowed to get kind of interesting before it turned into the typical "you suck lojasmo/dre/mv/whoever" "well you're a racist/sexist/elitist Salty/Helladumb/whoever.
