I really don't want to rehash this debate. Long story short, I think there are innate personality differences between men and women. Many posters think that's sexist/misogynist. I disagree, and think those labels are inaccurate. I'm sticking to my story and so are they.

Anyways, drj: I think I remember him arguing with Memphis in one of the "woman's Atlas" threads, so him.


You can tell that we get along spectacularly.

A crappy joke belittling a law program he only got into because of the same racial quotas that he's so strongly against.

right, no black person can get into Yale without a quota.

You ever stop and think that maybe one of the reasons he's so against them is because he doesn't appreciate being denigrated as some sort of charity case?

I didn't even have to go to page 2 of your posting history. I left out your defense because the claim you made wasn't actually true. I've seen worse than this but I gain nothing from spending my time searching for them.

This is true. 14 years before I was born. Today the site is the National Civil Rights Museum, which is great. They're renovating right now, so I am interested to see how it will look with they are done.

You're not very bright if you think that lends truth to your original claim. Did someone from Yale tell you personally that they only let in Thomas because he was black?

In all seriousness now, all bad rep Memphis got from this is exadurated, since the assassin had nothing to do with the city except travelling there to fire his shot.

Sadly bigoted with regards to gender issues, but seems an OK guy apart from that.

I suppose you also think Bush Sr chose him of all people to replace Thurgood Marshall because he was the most qualified applicant? Oh, and you're very bright too Roll Eyes

Im not going to get into this argument, I never had the patience to deal with the racist trash that would say Obama was an unqualified four year Senator who only won because he was black. It is a convenient angle for racists grasping for straws.

Thomas is against affirmative action because people like you exist and will shrug his accomplishments off because he may or may not have benefited from programs you claim to support.

I've never been there, but I've heard it's a decent city.  I like their basketball team too.

I might visit one day, even though it's hard to travel to the eastern United States now that I'm in the middle of the Pacific.
