Finally. Took long enough.


Finally. Took long enough.


Off the top of my head, I can answer the phone in half a dozen different ways in my language. And that is without going into rude or strange words for older people.
I want my diversity of options.


American is not a language. English, on the other hand…


Which one? The USofA as no official language. And apparently English is not even the most spoken language in it, by some recent surveys.
Should we make Italian the official language for telephones? It was an italian that invented the technology that gave rise to it. No? Doesn’t really make much sense, does it? Or perhaps chinese should be the only writen language. After all, they did invent paper and popularized it as a writing medium.
The american armed forces got to create the concept and kickstart it but the moment the technology is out, it belongs to no one and every one. Let’s all be collectively happy for that.


I really want to see if the requirements for new games will go down or continue rising.


I dislike the of minorities being in any way segregated, even if for positive reasons. There should not be that need.
By default, people deserve and need to be respected and accepted as they are, regardless of skin tone, language, creed, nationality.
We are humans.
Our diversity was what made us strong and resilient enough to take the challenges nature put in our collective way as a species. We thrived in adversity because we are diverse and that diversity made us adaptable.
People are just that: people. Shoe horning a person into something just to look right and proper is idiotic. If someone has the talent, knowledge and know-how to fill a role, they should fill it.


It’s trying to force an outcome instead of addressing the underlying issues.


Reading that became depressing really fast. One is supposed to be recognized by their talent, not through force of law and regulation.


The main reasoning revolves around mandating roles through “education”. Education has always been a way to elevate individuals and, by extension, civilization. Education here is used as a locking mechanism, not a liberation one.
That is why I understand it as a civilization regress.


It is a system that allows for the flow of wealth to pool around a very reduced number of individuals, built on debt and exploitation.
It is a broken, failed and failling system and the proof is plenty and ubiquous, unless we are to deny the last twenty years, just to keep within recent times, where several unprecedented economic disasters took place that have led to lowering living standards and the rise of personal fortunes to never before registered levels, while nations go into mounting debt.
That is asinine.
But this was not about economics but education.
Where does your reasoning goes to force an outdated and regressive doctrine to individuals, particularly women? And why are men exempt of similar considerations, apparently?


Capitalism is as failed of an economic model as what is coloquially called “communism”, associated with the brutal authoritarian regimes that rose in the late USSR, China, etc.
Basic reasoning is enough to find flaws in your opinion.
As living standards rise, fertility rates drop. This is a demonstrated reality throughout every nation. Birth rates remain high where gender roles are enforced - usually through religious belief - and poverty is generalized.
Unless you intend to enforce poverty, ignorance or both, what you propose is a civilizational regress, not advancement.


This is an unpopular opinion.
Congratulations! You achieved the goal of the community.
But now I feel the need to ask: are you not aware that what you propose is going back on civilizational achievements of nearly a century?
The system will collapse on itself.
Either the super concentration of wealth triggers governments to enact heavy taxation on fortunes or the system simply gets reset by the large majority that will simply ignore what is considered valuable today in detriment of something else.
Regardless, how things go today is not a sustainable route
