If gender equality has a negative effect on the climate (ie. more cars, more refined produce consumed, etc), why would they have this as a requirement in the Paris accord?

I guess where I was getting at is that they seemed to have used this agreement to push a westernized social agenda. Considering that every country is sovereign, I'm not sure this is a proper approach.

Mind you, I would love to have gender equality across the world but it would be preferable to offer opt-in approaches.

That's odd, I didn't know that gender equality affected the climate.

For some reason I'm in a nostalgic phase

I'm playing Lufia II for the snes

I'm amazed I missed that one at the time.

As guess this would qualify as great news for sea-faring pirates.

or your code could be riddled with thread contentions

I guess this is why he used the term likely

Interesting article though

It would be fun to compare results with male writers, just to investigate the discrepancies in how genders may perceive the other.

I miss those days

I miss live-chatting with the sysop if he was around

I miss gaining access levels and discover new files/areas

I miss re-loging at 12:01am to have double turns for my attack in BRE

I miss the discovery involved, how you would need to come up with interesting/new content to maintain you UL/DL ratio

I miss the epic mail convos we had in my BBS community

I miss GT's

Sorry for the late reply, the act of living itself makes me see the world slightly differently every day as new events unfurl.

I prefer learning from observations rather than being subjected to ideological propaganda. One respects the sovereignty of my conscience, the other does not.

Art does have a great impact on everyone's conscience, this is what makes it poignant. But there is good art and bad art, and in my book, ideological art is always bad since it veers your mind towards ideologies, towards a self-imprisonment of the mind, towards a false sense of consciousness, etc.

The addition of the girl makes it look like the bull intends to go after her, that's kind of a troubling thought and it does not respect the initial artistic intent of the bull statue.

"financial resilience" becomes "confronting women"? wow.

For diplomatic reasons.

I'm sure you are aware that their justification is to help determine if people are linked to dangerous groups or not.

Personally I wouldn't go that far but still, my point is that: not being searched at the border is a priviledge, not a right.

I suspect it wasn't tresspass though, more like a bought-pass

Some observations

- Surely there is a difference between overbooking and diminishing the number of available seats after the fact.

- Also, I would like to see how their "random computer pick" complies with their legal obligation of having IDB priority criterions.

- That was excessive force without any doubt. I mean, they had to clean up the blood afterwards.

- The doctor had to meet patients the next day, he had to uphold his hypocratic oath, I'm not sure this constitutes a "refusal" to vacate the plane in the legal sense.
