Preemptive edit: My point about what I had meant got ninja'd by Vector.

And the fact that they voted yes does not "put a negative light on them" from everybody. It just does from many points of view, including mine. I am not saying that I agree with that whole article, but I do think that the law should have been different. I am also mildly sad that they keep making laws that are "package deals," like that they packaged no-public-paying-for-abortions along with redefinition of rape. Yes, it's the oldest damn marketing ploy in the book, but I would hope that the government would be better than that.

And I would still like to see a neutral article on the issue. I just can't be bothered to dig one up, especially with ALL THESE NINJAS FOR THE LOVE OF CARP

Clinton being sexy?

I think I just threw up a bit.

What's the problem?

That she's middle-aged, or that she's got a short haircut?

I'm just going to leave those questions there and let you think about it in the context of all the other stuff I've been ramming down everyone's throats, because I don't have the energy to do anything more today.

In my case, it's more about what I know of her as a person.

then again, I can't find any politicians sexy, for that very reason.

Good man.  I approve.

 My comment was based more on her as a person than any external attribute(Perhaps being slightly old? just a side detail to the main focus of not being the kind of person I would want to be around), just so we get the original and passing intent of the joke out of the way. It also highlights how silly the whole situation is and the terminology used to define why this was justified.

 I'm okay with the ideal of not having images of women printed for some beliefs, but they just went about it the wrong way. Censor her with a burka drawn on, don't use the image, but shopping her out suggests that either she shouldn't be there or she held no importance. So long as there is some admittance to her being in her position seems like enough for me.
 It's kind of an odd place between respecting another persons culture and human rights violations, and where things split between a culture having some sex-specific ideals and maintaining equality at the cost of some harmless customs(Not this custom specifically, but in general).

Neutral?

While I am not saying which side is right, that article is clearly not "neutral"

Guess what - neither is reality.

Unless it turns out God really is right wing, I'm pretty sure reality doesn't have a political bias.

But that's the whole point, man. The whole "all wimens are prons" thing is just excuses.

I know this may seem very small and not really sad, but I miss the days when you could just buy a game and install it without having to use the internet.

Seconded, I've passed over games because of that.

The photo at the top of the article was unnecessarily included for the purpose of inducing an emotional response from readers, or are you too weak willed and trusting to notice that?

You're not.

Or at least you don't act like one.

I wrote an obnoxious Cracked topic embodying the very things they complain about, so I am pretty sure I qualify. Especially since I'm not 100% sure how much of it was satire and how much genuine.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
