Yes, I'm being honest, if she would be paid 77 cents on the dollar I wouldn't bother. Who cares, I would worry more about marrying her off or starting a business for her so she can make a living.

What I wouldn't do is place her in a game where she can't win. Only a fool would do that. You maximize the choices you have for success, in almost all cases.
Lol, for ****'s sake you ****ing moron I took you at face value and explained why what you said you would do makes no sense.

It was the other dude who said you were exaggerating and like, yeah, even I didn't realize you meant you would literally pull her out of school today (that's even more insane) but like, I already laid out why your plan makes no sense.

Whatever. You speak idiocy. Maybe you just like to insert yourself into conversations for no reason.

goof, I am not saying I agree w/ bigwilliestlye, but here is a possible argument: The dollar amount difference between the income for say a HS education and a bachelors degree for a man vs. a woman is significant. Using tiltdonk's numbers (below) it looks like a woman could make an extra $20k more per year going from a HS edu. to a bachelors degree where a man would make $26k more. That 30% increase is significant.

If Wil is looking at the situation as if he is making an investment he could be thinking he could make a $100k investment (an estimate for the 4 yr college that his child picked). With a son he could make that investment & it would take 3 yrs & 10 months to have the theoretically investment pay for itself where a daughter would take 30% longer to pay off the theoretical investment off.

This makes no sense because, even if she would be paid unfairly, she would be better off educated rather than uneducated. According to bls.gov, the median earnings for men working full time by education level are approximately:
<High School = $27k
High School = $39k
Some college = $45k
Bachelor's = $65k
Advanced = $85k

So, let's assume for the sake of argument that the figures for a woman would be 77% of that, i.e.
<High School = $21k
High School = $30k
Some college = $35k
Bachelor's = $50k
Advanced = $65k

As you may know, $65k > $21k, thus it doesn't seem logical to stop your daughter's education in this case.

Your whole shtick across the entire forum, though, has always been "**** the haters, 'the white man'" (or in this case, perhaps just "the man") "can't stop me from doing me and being successful". You dismiss the existence of institutional obstacles, to the extent they exist, as being something people just have to work to rise above.

But in this situation, your rhetoric changes entirely.

I don't understand what you don't understand. In America nothing stops you from being what you want to be. If it did, we as people would react accordingly, which would be completely logical.

Jesus, you sound like a liberal with this "if you follow your dreams you can do anything you want" ****. Isn't that how we got a generation of unemployed philosophy majors? That's what the conservatives are always telling me.

Lol @ you, posting your idiocy, getting dunked on, getting mad, and then crying that I "inserted myself into your conversation".

Next time use some logic in your post and it won't happen.
06-07-2017 , 02:26 PM
Basically the gist is that wil doesn't understand the difference between:

E[x] < E[y]

and

P(x < y) = 1

This is more addressing TiltedDonkey's posts than mine, but yeah, that's reasonable. It's not clear wil understands this, though, because like TD has been saying, wil's still been comparing daughter's earnings vs. man's earnings when he should be comparing (as you are doing here) daughter's uneducated earnings vs. daughter's educated earnings.

Sure is a strange day in P7 when mickey (first on Eric Trump's "Democrats aren't people" comments which LDO wil wholeheartedly agrees with, now here) is making much stronger posts than wil.

I've never said anything like that. In fact, I discourage that stupid ass saying. Following your dreams is idiotic in my book. It's much better to do what you are good at.

I'm not mad and no one dunks on me. Believe whatever you wish, though.

Comparing mayors to slave owners is ****ing ridiculous and trivializes slavery.

I guess we just don't understand each other. If I believed she would be paid less I wouldn't be putting so much of my resources in her education, I would just send her to a school that doesn't cost me anything and be done with it and hope for the best. I wouldn't tie her up in the basement and not let her learn how to read.

Jesus. Whats so hard to understand about this? You don't put your resources into things where you won't get back max potential. In India there are a lot more women in IT compared to America. It makes perfect sense.

The combination of social media, virtue signalling and public shaming all converged into calling someone a racist or a sexist or a bigot into the end of their lives. People became very cognizant of this fact. If you are called a racist, you risk losing everything. You can lose your job, your kids, your family, your ability to support yourself, your friends. It happened many times publicly and changed people's behavior.

It is actually dangerous for you profoessionally and socially to be labelled a racist. Virtue signalling made the issue worse because leftists thrive by denouncing people so they can make themselves look good. Like a sick Munchausen by proxy.

The left gained the upper hand and the right sat there and took it because they had no way to fight back. What the right should do is start calling the left communists or socialists, but that's not up to me.

We'll see how it all shakes out.
Sounds like the right failed to check itself and needs scapegoats.

Not at all. They just haven't figured out how to fight it.

You sonsofbitches play too coy.

The correct answer is wil's daughter needs all the education she can get so she doesn't turn out like him.
06-07-2017 , 03:40 PM
Also, is it possible to know negative things?

Your virtue, it has been signaled.

You do know slavery is still practiced in parts of the world to this day, yes?

Real talk though I'm kinda disgusted and horrified behind how wil views his daughter. I mean God mother****ing forbid she grows up to show an interest in music or art. That poor child.

This word, it doesn't mean what you think it means. Also, it's not an effective rebuttal to anything.

It has to do with your comment about "trivialization". Pointing out that since race hucksters can no longer legally "own" people, they've turned to political power and enacted social programs to keep non-whites in poverty has a lot to do with Mayors of large, impoverished cities.

Yeah, but also looks that way too. Your assessment, if we replaced "left" and "right" with "Travolta" and "Cage", isn't it like the plot to the movie Face/Off?
06-07-2017 , 04:05 PM
I liked the part where slave-owners were apparently Marxists. Who knew?
