Record high compared to what? How long has mankind been keeping reliable records? How long has mankind existed?

So this proves that the man-made climate change hypothesis has the exact same amount of scientific support as evolution? Really?

I only caught the third but was wondering why Lemieux seemed to be double-shifting while Laine and Roslo were stapled to the bench. Ferraro mentioned Laine was having a bad game but gave no reason why.

I would agree with you if you are talking about man-made climate change. The research is still very inconclusive. Evolution has much more scientific support behind it given it has been a thing for much much longer.

Do you mean "man-made climate change"? Or just natural climate change?

Do they both hold the same degree of scientific support? How would you measure such a thing? Evolution has been studied for 150 years. The man-made climate change idea has really only been a "thing" since Hansen started babbling about it in the 1980's. To say the amount of scientific support is "the same" seems incredibly disingenuous, purposely so in fact. To me the two theories are completely different because only one (man made climate change) can be used by politicians to control and re-distribute wealth. No one is advocating for an "evolution" tax, but politicians are sure trying to bilk people out of their hard-earned cash for the man-made climate change theory, a theory that is far from proven.

Fair enough. Not sure who is rejecting evolution?

You really need to let this go. I realize that you want to further the divide and throat punch people who disagree with you but you are looking like an obsessive compulsive here.

Check out the American museum of natural history in New York sometime. 589 million years ago, life began on earth. Three and a half billion years Earth is a life-less rock like Mars, and then boom! Life begins. How? Why? No one has answered these questions. Evolution can tell us how we got here, but it can't answer why we are here. I'm not sure why evolution and the man-made climate change hypothesis always get mentioned together. Makes no sense to me, other than certain people like to make fun of others' religious beliefs, which just serves to further the divide.

Jordan Peterson talks in his videos about coaching lawyers at law firms to be more assertive. And he's increased their pay substantially. But he says it's not a gender thing. It's an agreeability thing. Agreeable men get paid less than assertive women in the same jobs too. Agreeability is much more of a pay inhibitor than gender. In a unionized environment where seniority is everything and nothing else really matters, you wouldn't see a gap. Assertiveness is irrelevant. Bob makes more because he's been working for 29 years. Or at least employed anyway.

And I agree with Jordan Peterson. Who agrees with wiki. The tiny gap right at the top has to do with assertiveness and agreeability.

Oh ok. So when you propose violence it should be "all in good fun", yet if I post a video the views of the person in the video reflect my entire character and who I am. Good grief that's so ridiculous I don't know where to start. That video shouldn't have been posted. My bad. Still think that no one wins when "throat punching" is presented as the main response. There should be a middle ground. I didn't say that Mark Dice video questioned a societal truth. I said that this thread does that. The one questioning the existence of a gender pay gap. You are bright enough to have understood that. I don't understand how this is a "leftist position". To me it's a simple "yes" or "no". Politics be darned. But at least you admit that it's a leftist position, and not a reality. I agree, this entire "gap" was invented by leftists, to make women feel like victims. Erroneously. Its vote-grabbing under completely false pretenses. It's part of the bigger definition of "social justice": the stubborn application of unworkable solutions to imaginary problems". As you have just stated, this is just a "leftist position", and a completely imaginary problem. Unlike the gender age gap, where women live 4 years longer than men. THAT is real. Why don't leftists have a position on that? Because men make bad victims? And as sanctimonious as this statement is, all I can say is, same right back at you. Open your mind and start to question some of the lies you have swallowed wholesale. They will only just continue to control you and your entire life views if you don't. You can do it, you have the tools.

Talk about one single statement being packed with tons of hypocrisy, irony and lack of self awareness all in one. I may post videos you disagree with, just as you post stuff I disagree with, however I never advocate violence, at least not to my knowledge. You on the other hand talk about "throat punches" (in this thread!!) and wish death upon people who disagree with you. And you are going to lecture me on how my posts reflect on me? Is this a sick joke? I do regret posting the Mark Dice video (can't remember why I did) in this thread as I should have known that it would trigger the usual suspects, and worse, provide a perfect excuse to derail this thread. I've noticed that this topic makes some people uncomfortable, mostly because it questions a basic (and so far unproven) societal "truth", that turns out to be not true at all. And that's healthy I think, to question ideas and accepted "truths". We all live in bubbles of our own creation. So we surround ourselves with people who think like us. It would be exhausting otherwise. In your bubble of friends, you probably are told that "throat punches" against those who have different views are a good idea. I don't think so. So I will continue to post videos that offend you, and you can continue to propose violence and death as solutions and offend me. As Jordan Peterson says (oh no another trigger warning) "in order to think you must be offensive" or something to that effect. Now back to the topic: Gender pay gap - does it exist? I say no. Change my mind.

https://vancouversun.com/opinion/columnists/douglas-todd-surprise-rising-equality-is-accentuating-male-and-female-differences Given the mostly outdoor and often high-risk nature of such men’s jobs, it’s no wonder that males account for nine out of 10 workplace deaths. As Pinker has found, women prefer “meaningful and connected jobs,” as well as working part time. Men are more likely to take harsh full-time jobs to earn more money and provide for their children and spouse.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I say the answer is: no

So are you saying that there are a disproportionate number of men being promoted to management in the teaching profession in Manitoba? If so, is this due to blatant sexism, or could there be other factors at play here?

And uppity men folk will want to know why their life expectancy is 4 years less than women, and their suicide rate is 3.5x higher, with no one really giving a ****....

I watch all the games online through Rogers Gamecenter so I don't see any ads.

This was exactly Jordan Peterson's point. In Scandinavian societies where they have bent over backwards to be as equal as possible, more women gravitate to health care and lower paying jobs with more time off. You can't fight human nature.

Sounds more like people with closed minds who are trying to rationalize away any challenges to established and probably incorrectly held "beliefs" that society has been force-fed and told to be true, and then reinforced with immediate insults if challenged, in this case "misogynist" is always the "go to" should established norms be questioned. I am glad so far this thread hasn't devolved into that. Though it would be nice if someone could explain what Bilderburg is.

So if you watch the video I posted to start the thread, this is no different than the male CEO situation and the prior generation, and will correct itself as the new generation takes over. So not really an issue at all.

I agree. It seems to me that those who want to push this pay gap concept are doing so purely for political purposes. If you watch the first video that I posted that was one of the points of the feminist author. There seems to be an entire industry built around perpetuating this victimhood mentality, and those pre-disposed to believe it exists because it conforms with their biases will continue to believe it, no matter what.

"Combats GPG". By just complying with the law?
