Makes sense
The consequences of being wrong are too psychologically damaging so they refuse to acknowledge it as a defense mechanism.
Yeah, people often think they've correctly used logic and objective reasoning to determine their own beliefs and actions... it's always someone else that's a useful idiot.
- A fine example of this is James O'Brien. He's intelligent, had the best of educations, and his latest book is called "How to be Right".
His arrogance knows no limits in his belief that anybody who doesn't agree with him is wrong - and yet he gets important topics wrong every single day, and no amount of evidence changes his mind.
how to be a belligerent douche bag that nobody likes
Has he washed his hair since Brexit?
Ahhh
Anyone else just get hit with about 2 feet of snow

https://twitter.com/LauKaya/status/1086334889438384128 looks like it some good news out of EU as it looks like article 10 and 13 is failing as they cant agree on it anymore
They want to call a constitutional convention
oy vey
so what would this amendment actually look like in practice, i don't get it @Fitzydog
They list it right in the article. It's literally nothing.
"Equal rights for women and men."
Which the civil Rights act already does
that's why i'm confused
so i'm guessing it's gonna be used in some fucked up way
idk
@Fitzydog you should have been here last night
there was some faggot arguing that the constitution wasn't the law of the land
Well, I mean, if you want to get technical, its the law of the government and states.
It's the rules for the rulers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Amendment
They've been trying to lift the sunset clause on the amendment for ages
Oh, so, more visitation rights for men then?
And women have to sign up for the draft?
"Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."
That's the amendment, basically. The other two clauses of effect are how it's implemented through Congress' power and when it takes effect
I like how in the 20s and 60s it was working class and conservative women who shot it down. Today it would be leftist.
Howevrr, i dont see it making a big difference. Many states adopted similar admendments to their own constitutions but still dont have equal rights on divorce. Like Oregon.
It has to go to legislation in all 50 states first
