All the time I see these beautiful young women drive up, pump their own gas and pay for it. The whole time their boyfriends will sitting in the front seat playing on his phone or something. They could at least have the decency to pump it for her while she paid inside, cause I understand there could other circumstances, like maybe she has a better job. But still to sit on your ass and not even offer to help while she drives around? Sorry for ranting.I don't think it's an issue really. It would probably depend on the circumstances. Is it an abusive relationship, or are the young ladies simply showing that they're capable of handling something that simple instead of pretending that cars are too complicated for their delicate female brains?
Anyway, I must admit that I read the post as a series of sexual metaphors, and now I need a cold shower.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
