QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 10:50 AM) Yes. That's why I took it to the other extreme. Kinda silly, eh? Now, back to the issue at hand, once they asked for the private time because they were MUSLIM women, it became wrong, just as it would be had they asked for it because they were WHITE women, or JEWISH women. I understand the general feeling of alot of women not wanting to work out around men. Curves is making money off that very feeling. So take some of your Saudi blood money and build a gym for ALL women, not just those of the chosen Muslim faith. Problem solved. Well, why don't you read the article again before you spew your fake outrage over this. Again, this is one gym, the least used in the university. That is available to women only for 6 out of 70 hours a week. You don't have to be a muslim woman to work out during those hours. You just have to be a woman. So why would a University spend thousands, if not millions of dollars to build a new gym for women to work out by themselves when they could just change the operating hours for a gym that isn't used very often in their system?

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 09:05 AM) That is a bulls***, Tex-like analogy, going for the most extreme you can find. Take it to the other extreme. Why not just block all the gyms into time blocks so that each and every group that wants to can have their own little private time in the gym. Fat people who are afraid people will make fun of them can have from 2 to 4 on Tuesdays and every other Friday. Ugly people can have from 6 to 8 Pm nightly. White supremacists can have it limited to whites-only 4-6 daily. Militant lesbian feminists can have 9 Am to 11 Am every weekday. Yeah, that would work. If Harvard thinks that it is such a good idea, maybe they should put that in their brochures. You know, a good marketing point. Are you serious? You compare women wanting to work out without men around to white supremacists and you tell me that my example of separating bathrooms by sex is extreme? Seriously?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 08:30 AM) That's a good point on bathrooms, but I imagine one strong reason for them to be separated is because it will reduce the number of Larry Craig incidents. That didn't work so well for the Minneapolis airport.

The problem with this article is that in the old days, Harvard would have banned women from the gym completely. In the old days, Harvard didn't admit women.

So by your logic, all bathrooms should now be unisex everywhere? That we should make no accommodation whatsoever for religion or sex anywhere? My gym has a separate women's only studio, by the way. For them it is a selling point. There are plenty of women who want to work out in that kind of environment, and I doubt that that many of them are Muslim. So do you feel outraged that men aren't allowed to be nuns too? Because that is clearly reverse sexism.

So you think that it's offensive that Harvard has set aside its least used gym facility for women who don't want to work out in front of other men. For six hours out of the 70 hours a week that particular gym is used. And during those six hours, every other gym facility is open to men and women. And this is offensive, how?

By the way, the way the delegate distribution will break out, Clinton nets a gain of 14 delegates at this point. Despite a 2 point lead in the TX vote count, Obama would receive 2 more delegates based on where the vote is coming from. Clinton nets 15 delegates more than Obama in OH. Clinton nets 4 delegates more than Obama in RI Obama nets 3 delegates more than Clinton in VT Obama nets 2 delegates more than Clinton in TX at this point. TX Caucus results have yet to be announced.

Those were first wave exit polls. Usually not indicative.

I think Clinton eeks out a win in the TX primary, anyone know whats happening with the caucus?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 11:10 PM) If Florida hadn't violated primary rules, that would have really changed this up. So any of you think she will get a re-vote in Michigan or Florida which would seat delegates? I think those would be strong states for her. Michigan, maybe. Florida, no. Otherwise, Florida and Michigan delegates will get seated, but only when the nomination is settled.

I'm just glad to see heavy turnout in Texas. Either one of these candidates will get my support in November. So although I wish we'd get a nominee already, it makes me glad to see that the voter turnout in Texas will top 2 million for the Dems.

John McCain wins TX officially clinching the nomination.

Clinton closing the gap somewhat in TX, now down just 90,000 votes.

QUOTE(AngelasDaddy0427 @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) They told me it wouldn't count so I thought whats the point. A provisional does get counted. Especially if it's close.

Clinton with just 43% of the vote in TX Early Voting, still has more votes than all TX Republican early voting combined.

Did you report that to anyone? You should have voted your provisional.

They were a smattering of precincts from three counties that were released. the SOS in OH then stopped the remaining counties from reporting before 9.

OH Sec of State results are being embargoed from release until 9PM when the Cuyahoga County polls close.

I know it's only 1% of precincts reporting, but Obama's lead is now about 130,000 votes in TX.

Obama with an early 54,000 vote lead in TX.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 07:34 PM) Ohio Exit Polls (CNN): Men (41%): Obama - 52%; Clinton - 47% Women (59%): Obama - 45%; Clinton - 54% So, according to my math (correct me if I am wrong): Obama got roughly 47.87% of the total vote and Hillary got 51.13%. It's way too early to make that decision. This didn't take early voting into consideration, and Northeast Ohio represents 35% of the sample, with Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) representing another 15%. Northeast Ohio was the only region to go to Clinton and it did so strongly (61-39), but Cleveland went strongly Obama in the poll (59-41). The other regions went for Obama marginally.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) Are there tales from WW II about stuff like this? (obviously not youtube videos, but stories or the sort?) I'm trying to build a mental thesis about war. Vietnam/Iraq vs. WW II. A perception of evil/ideological evil vs. a present and real evil (please don't give me the 9/11 terrorism is real argument) how does this affect the mental state of a human being. defending vs. occupying. I would guess that having to be in a constant state of prepardness for death messes with you. It was there too. People just didn't talk about it.

If the rumor is true that Obama is gonna have 50 more supers endorse tomorrow, it won't much matter what happens today.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 12:26 AM) Can I use that phrase when I go to Paris in a month? Of course, I'll just be another "stupid American". Seriously, though. Brilliant in La Vie En Rose.

Wait, you mean an English tabloid would take a celebrity's comments out of context? What? Whatever, she's not the brightest bulb in Le Lite Brite Box. But she was amazing in that movie.
