Trump versus Clinton?

A person that is capable of doing for themselves but is too lazy too do so should starve. If hunger won't motive you than nothing will.

Soon robots will be able to do anything a manual worker can do and computers will be able to do all office jobs. Its time to stop basing society on a work ethic that soon will have no meaning.

Or did you miss all his bullshit sexist comments towards women, and even Megan Kelly?

Why not Megan Kelly? She challenged him with tough questions for a Fox pundit, after all. He can't have that, especially not from a woman.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't like looking at tits and ass. But a woman still has a right to dress the way the want, have sex with whom they want, and consent is still required for that. A woman still has the absolute right to control her body as she sees fit. A woman has the right to question men and even lead men if that is what they chose to do. Women have a right even in their own home to say no to sex. Even a woman on a nude beach does not give anyone the right to touch her without her permission.

I do hate this obsession by men what women wear or what they look like. But I also don't like other women telling other women how to think or how to dress. Finding a women sexy isn't a thought crime, assaulting them is a crime as it should be.

Trump is a sexist and a bigot and a peddler of fear. Trump is not a man who wants a women to have power over him. Too fucking bad.

In short, he's a primitive. I guess, there never was any doubt about that. And he's doing everything according to the rulebook of rightwing extremist 101. Incite fear, incite hatred, let women know their place. Obviously that's still a bestselling recipe. Not only in America, but all over the world.

There are right wingers in every religion, including Buddhism and Hinduism. There is no polite way to say it. There certainly are liberals in every religion that value girls/women's rights, but that doesn't change that you can find sexism everywhere in the world.

That is why it is extremely important to empower more women globally. Of course they should be qualified to be in any power, but they should not be excluded based on gender. 

I hate how evolution is in reality. I do except it as fact, but the dark side of it is that men in general mistake testosterone and force as being right and use religion to justify it. I think the world would be much more peaceful without testosterone, but since that wont happen, we can at least challenge our species that thinking and diplomacy and equality for women will go a long way in reducing human divisions.

There's your usual fixation again. What has Trump to do with religion? He spews rightwinger hatred by playing to the most primitive instincts in primitive people. It may come as a surprise to you, but downgrading women is much more a cultural than a religious issue. In the West as well as in the East. It's about men feeling more powerful by dominating women.

I agree with the "esteem" issue. Our marketing is quick satisfaction and "you the consumer it is all about you"...... But as far as flaws, Bill is not wrong in that it should always be an excuse. But at the same time that also sets up corporate America to come up with marketing like "Just do it" and unrealistic utopias coming out of celebrities and sports stars and musicians and even businessmen, "You will make it if you just do it", which is false. The higher up you go, the fewer spots there are and the more competition for those fewer spots. It is important to be educated, and everyone should shoot for the best they can do. But not everyone will end up being Stephen Hawking.

So I am not with Bill as a blanket statement, I do think it is ok to have flaws, and esteem, but balance in context of the situation and the individual. So it depends. If it leads to more assholes like him, I agree. But growing up my mom had the same authoritarian attitude Bill is conveying here, and being sensitive, that actually caused me to have lower self esteem and that too can cause someone to be destructive as a teen. It is ok to be yourself and think for yourself too. 

He is playing off the self entitled crowd.

But our "It's all about you" marketing I agree does produce self entitled narcissists like him.
