PS. On suicides, a successful suicide is always worse than an attempted one. And on driving, the statistics clearly show that men are the most aggressive and dangerous drivers. Worse is a matter of opinion, but you're telling me that if you had x amount of money to donate to either a group that hel...

Well, since you described it as a "claim" and I have no other recourse but to assume that you're claiming that female drivers are worse than male drivers... I used the word more loosly, I guess that's where we're getting our real argument from. Poor word choice on my part I guess. Yes, ra...

Really? Show me a source. (Besides, when asked which group of drivers is worse - the group that gets in minor accidents or the group that kills people in accidents - I do hope you'll excuse me for choosing the latter.) This is like the man/woman suicide argument. Men are more likely to successfully...

I made a "claim" in which I stated it was based on personal experience. Do you want me to list MORE personal experiences, because I have already listed a few, to further provide support for my claim of personal experience? Yes, I did read the rules. And I answered the questions. This is my...

Actually, your list of biases taken as a whole have inspired that reaction in me. It is just my opinion; I could be wrong. Could you explain why I'm a jackass for having those specific biases? Emphasis mine; this seems to be more anecdotal evidence than anything else. If you can't provide statistic...

In fact, men were between two and three times more likely to die in car accidents as females in 2001 ( source ). But don't let those pesky facts interfere with your sexism. Maybe I'm overreacting, but sexism pisses me off. If you don't like female drivers, move to fucking Saudi Arabia. Yes, men are...

Why am I a clown? "Clown" is my euphemism for a person acting in a jackassish manner. Do you have any statistics to back up your assertion? Ok, why am I acting in a jackassish manner? I answered the question posted. Why is saying I am biased against female drivers worse than saying I am b...

Wait, you think women are too aggressive on the road? You're kidding, right? :lol: As for women being more distracted, if we equate being easily distracted with having ADHD (which I can tell you from experience makes it hard to drive well), it's far more prevalent in males. I didn't say women were ...

...Female drivers, solitaryshell? Looks like this clown is just a misanthrope in general. Yes, female drivers. I find that drivers in general are pretty bad but women seem to be especially bad and young girls even worse. From my experience they are either too distracted, frightened, or try to be ov...

The movie version of "The Last Unicorn" was almost word for word from the book, so I thought that movie adaptation was good. I also thought the movie of The Great Gatsby was pretty good and accurate to the book. I agree with those who posted earlier, The Time Machine was a horrible adaptat...

Well, I would use it for myself and to hell with everyone else. I don't want to be a noble martyr, I want to live a long healthy life. Maybe this isn't the ethical answer but I would be lying if I were to say otherwise.
