Why the heck do we (especially the eastern 2/3) have so many counties?

No no, that shows men are better, we ain't hiding in no schools, we're out there kicking ass and living the high(and drunk) life, taking no shit except other people's when we think nobody's looking.

The county government was much stronger than the state or even federal when all those counties were formed.

Not sure what's so awful about an arts degree.

I mean, unless you feel that society should be 100% utilitarian.

Arts degree? I didn't see that mentioned.

The two things we need most (so make sure the aren't coming by fedex) are air and water.

The chart isn't saying it's bad; the chart is saying that significantly fewer men take those courses/have those degrees than women. It's a counterargument to the standard "not enough women in STEM" numbers.

What's interesting about that is that I see polls saying this, but then I see companies like Chick-Fil-A having to walk back right wing views (in their case, public, loud donations to anti-LGBT organizations) because it was costing them too more customers than they were gaining.

Another example is Carl's Jr, which has lost 13% of its stock price since it came out that they were handing cash over to bigots. We already know about the Target bathroom thing and the Hobby Lobby ("back to the 1950s!") debacle.

So I am unsure which way to think. On one hand, the polls say one thing. On the other hand, the market says something else entirely.

That's because in respectable homes Mom is cooking supper so when Dad comes home from work, they can sit down with Jr and Sis to thank the Lord for a nutritious meal. Only those scallywag troublemakers are going to Chick-Fil-A or Carl's Jr.

Because anti-LGBT isn't the defining issue of conservatism. I couldn't find a conservative/liberal poll on this so we will have to make due with Pew's survey which shows that, currently, 44% of Rs and 75% of Ds are for gay marriage.



This wildly pro-gay rights moderate eats Chick Fil A every other day. I am very aware of their giving and once I tried to edit the Wikipedia page on it to make it more accurate (and was immediately rolled back by an activist editor)

They have recently walked that back, so they're now on my menu.

However, that is not the only issue.

To clarify things, when you say center right, can you give me a few examples of which issues you feel center right about?

You have company.

Apologies for the likely repost. I searched in vain for my other posting of this

Unsurprisingly, we have a thread for this.

Jump in Luce, the water's fine!
