15th is the international day of action, Kozmos, it's starting everywhere.

Well, maybe I've got a different viewpoint, as my mother has worked most of her life, as hard as my father (they met while working in Africa), so I've got quite a strong view of women.

Are you raising your daughters to become housewives in future life? Would you raise a son differently?

Bingo, thanks for bringing some rationality back into the debate. They aren't there because they can't get a job in Gender Studies or whatever, but they see a system which is deeply broken, and which they are idealistic enough to want see fixed. One thing that has also been overlooked, is...

Oh I dunno, international media coverage?

It's a choice to join the military isn't it? I don't see why making a choice where you can get your ass shot off doing something stupid is any better than one where you can have a heart attack from a sedentary lifestyle.

Which is a problem with the US. But the military? Subsidised healthcare, food, housing, recreation. It's the biggest welfare scam ever.

Of course it has everything to do with it; he'd be unemployed were he in a competitive system, where he has to apply for a job competitively, and continue reapplying for his job via redundancy checks, instead of taking the easy ride of the socialised welfare which is the military. EDIT: and to...
