The Post Your Thoughts of the Moment Thread 2

I'm pretty sure people who are in this "idiot group" you speak of, regardless of gender, are actually idiots.

Most of times, I personally, hear about men doing all sorts of bad things. I hear way less of women doing it. Don't know if there is something with men (by nature), having a greater risk of/being more criminal and doing bad immoral things. Idk. haven't looked it up, if that's true.

I know men are more likely to be convicted of a crime, but that's likely based in gender stereotypes. Please don't go around talking about which gender is less moral. It's not a valid discussion and only ends in sexist opinions and comments.

true. I have a bad tendency to get into hot topics. I like expressing my opinions and discussing things to get things out of my head and to get things clear, but y..


Completely different

Wow DIO sure was cool guy! A lot of metal artists seem to be really nice people. And I really like the story about Holy Diver. I'd never thought there was such depth behind the song! Also interesting hearing about DIO's growing up religious, and his views on religion(s).

Ok so I'm late to this but I figure I'll mention it anyways. You hear about women committing crimes less often because the media doesn't like to make a big deal out of it. As for what Zunawe said, yes men are more likely to be convicted of a crime. In fact even among men and women who commit the same crime there is a 63% sentencing disparity between the two.

No, you hear about women committing crimes less because the vast majority of crimes are committed by men

[Zunawe]

No, you hear about women committing crimes less because the vast majority of crimes solved homicides in Sweden between 1990 and 2010 are committed by men

[Dude]

who would have thought

[Trainer Ave]

That is only referring to murder and not all crime as a whole. In general when a woman commits a crime the media is silent about.
I will grant you that more men commit murder than women.

[Dude]

because stealing lipstick is just as bad as killing people, huh

[mastersuperfan]

yeah uh maybe the media is "silent" about women's crimes because they prefer to report murders and fewer women commit murder? that's not really a sexism issue in that case

Bleh, last weekend three a wrench in my sleep schedule, and I still haven't recovered. So I've been in a kind of survival mode this past week. Hopefully over this weekend I can recalibrate and get some sleep

[Dudeman]

man, that's almost as bad as if it four a wrench

[E. Gadd Industries]

It's almost 11 where I'm at, and I'm dying laughing at that for no good reason, and I should've been asleep an hour ago :/
