Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

What rights do women not have...
Discrimination is rampant in all aspects of our lives, and that will never go away.
Obama can't do much about abortion either way. Also:
...that aren't caused by the physical differences between the two genders?
EDIT: Did you just ninja-silent-edit me? Or did I manage to not see the entire second half of that post?
EDIT2: I'm not saying anything about how big of a problem those things are, or whether they're "real problems," whatever that means. I asked what rights do women not have. You said that he advanced the Women's Rights cause, and I want to know what that means.
EDIT3: Yeah, you definitely ninja-silent-edited me. Not cool, bro.

It means feminism, but feminism has a bad connotation so I was avoiding that word. Call it "humanitarianism", whatever you want. Gender equality.
[Edit] In many countries, women do not have nearly as many rights as we do. I'm sure you can operate Google to find out what rights women do not have.
Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Emphasis added to clarify what I was asking about.

I'm saying that "the Women's Rights cause" is just another way of saying "feminism". Obama's a feminist. I don't know how else to phrase it.
[Edit] And as I've edited into my previous 2 posts, I'm talking on a global level. The right to divorce, the right to work, the right to drive, etc. Not all countries have that.
Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

You're getting away from me. I'm not asking about that. What I asked was what Obama himself has done for feminism/women's rights/whatever you want to call it. You said he advanced Women's Rights. All I wanted to know is how he did that. What's he actually done?
EDIT: This was originally a reply to Tako's edit in the post two posts above this one, but I modified it a bit since Tako made another post while I was typing.

[Edit] I thought you were asking what I meant by "women's rights movement" because, well,
I want to know what that means.
so I was explaining what that meant.

I don't have enough interest in the subject to go crawling through the internet in search of anything. You said something and so I asked you for clarification. Not really worth looking through pages of bias and propaganda when I can just ask you, is it?
Anyway, thanks for the link

Well, I did the "crawling" for you, and now you know what he's done. </discussion>
Going back to the original statement, Obama is a humanitarian and I respect him for that.
Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Most people are "humanitarians", aren't they? You don't see too many people going around believing that women should have lower wages and all that.
With that out of the way,
the Obama administration brutally murdered my beloved food pyramid. Why his wife wasn't tried in court for this atrocity, I'll never know.

Does the new thing not work or do you just really like triangles?

Triangles are my life. They killed the pyramid.
Also apples. They shrunk the fruit part of the food object.
And burritos. The new plate doesn't insult my love of burritos much, so we're cool on this one.
Is this too off-topic for this forum? I feel like I'm letting my Fail Forums lax-ness leak over here.

The debt has increased by 6 trillion over his 4 years that's a 60% increase on the debt. The deficit bounced from about -459 billion to about -1.4 trillion in his first year and now stands at a about a -1.3 trillion deficit. Unemployment has staid at 7.8 or higher throughout his term and over 8 for the majority.
This is what Obama has done. More arguments?
The deficit was 1.3 trillion in 2011. In 2013 it was 680 billion and is projected to be 492 billion for 2014.

Are those real numbers?

Wow I agree. I mean LOOK at how handsome this man is.
But I mean we should impeach Obama. He is always too busy at the white house. I want him to have some time off so we can all stair at his handsome body.

How'd they pull that off?
In any case, I must give a pat on the back to everyone who was in office the past few years. Good job, governnubs.
Edit: hold on, which Wikipedia article did you read? The one I just checked says the debt is over 17 trillion.

This is deficit, not debt. Deficit is the difference between government revenue and spending when spending is greater than revenue; additionally, the yearly deficit determines how much the debt increases in that year.
So basically there's still a lot of debt and it is still increasing, just not as fast as it was near the height of the recession (the deficit was very large then due to a combination of increased spending on stimulus and decreased revenue due to the recession).

So what those numbers mean is that we're still earning buttloads of debt, but we're just earning it slower?

Exactly, though I'm not sure most people would call it "earning".

Something a little more reliable than Wikipedia.
He's doing better than the beloved Reagan, which goes to prove my point that none of us know exactly what the deficit or debt means. The 80s were one of the greatest decades of the 20th century in America, and the deficit was larger then than now.
The only way the debt would be tangible is if we defaulted - in other words, if the miscellaneous countries/programs we owe money to were to demand said money.

I love it when people make bold political statements. It either exposes their idiocy or their insight.

He sells weapons to Ukraine so that their government can kill people just so America could make money out of it. Then he blames it all on Russia so people give Russian's crap for it. Now half the world hates "us" Russians and I lost many friends because of obama. See my point yet? It's a political issue and people might see my opinion wrong but I suffered enough arguments with my friends because of obama.
