  1. Once again please provide specific companies that pay their cashiers a different salary based on gender. Until you can provide real concrete examples you have completely lost this debate. Your above example is absolutely terrible because it provides zero details at all. Does it take in account that their is way more female cashiers at Wal Mart and maybe because they pay so low it brings the average down? Does it take in account that more men work at hardware and specialty stores which may bring those averages up? A company like Costco which pays a higher then average salary, how much more do they pay the male cashiers compared to the females? Same with Wal Mart who is the #1 employer in North America? How about fast food places, how much more does McDonalds, Subway and all the other big chains pay the males more then the females. I can tell you 100% as I know people who currently work and have worked at all of those places that they pay the exact same wage for each gender. No males get any kind of bonus or kickback from having a weiner. Seriously eternal optimist... it's scary that some people can be such sheep and be influenced on anything with absolutely zero weight behind it.
  2. From my untrained eyes to me it seemed like last season everyone was flying around and crashing into the boards and everyone seemed to be playing like how Tanev is playing right now. It seemed like they had way more puck control in the offensive zone and they cycled the puck way more. The last few weeks it seems to me that everyone is just watching the puck in our own end and waiting for an odd man rush to generate any kind of scoring. Like you said Wheeler and a whole bunch of guys are floating and just standing still and waiting for the goalies to make the save and hope that the puck gets flipped up down ice.
  3. LaFrance really hasn't done much outside of his one play off game a few years back. I thought Augustine ran with more power and seemed to be a cheaper and better solution.
  4. Jets have been linked to Hayes before. I don't see the Jets making a huge splash outside of Stone. They really don't need the talent... maybe Chevy does a swerve and fires Maurice and picks up Quenneville!
  5. OMG you guys are such nerds.... I used dentists as an example because they make twice as much as hygienists and they are a male dominated field. I said this to show that you can't take an average of everyones salaries because some people (men) tend to pursue higher paying jobs then females. Dentists themselves charge whatever the F they want. It's not like men charge more to clients because they are men... every dentist charges whatever they bloody well want to. It's not a set fixed rate. Jesus Christ the naysayers are realllllllly stretching to try to make their point. How about you look up the salaries of people working as a cashier at Wal-Mart, I'm pretty sure both men and women both make a small pitiful salary that is the same between both genders.
  6. We will use dentists for an example. It's predominately a male dominated field. Dental hygienists are predominately female. You would propose that in order to equal out the numbers that the dentists should be making an equal salary to the hygienists? Lets do some basic math. Average dentist makes about 180 000 Average hygienist is about 50 000 In order to balance the numbers based on your link the dentist would need to take a pay cut and the hygienist would take a massive raise where both make 115 000 to equal everything out? Alternatively the only other way to make gender pay equal on that link you posted would be to force Canada to employ at each job an exact split of 50/50 with both genders. I don't see why people can't understand why the numbers favor the male side because most men pursue careers that pay better while most women pursue lower paying jobs and also factor in that most will go on maternity leave if they have children and/or will stay at home.
  7. That's an average of everyones salaries put together. That doesn't equate a pay gap between genders. The only way that would ever equal out with everyone making the same amount of money with no difference between jobs or genders would be if we were communist. What you want to post is the average salary between genders doing the exact same job with the exact same qualifications at the exact same company with the exact same amount of experience. Jeeze if people were so easily duped by looking at that link then no wonder why so many people are sheep and will believe anything told to them.
  8. Maurice also needs to start kicking some asses...
  9. The refs don't need to be the ones to be blamed. I'm siding with Goalie on the top 2 lines just absolutely putting half ass efforts. It's sad when over the last 5 games the best players have been the bottom 2 lines.
  10. Looks like we are anxious to start a losing streak.. the team really needs a kick in the ass.
  11. Helle and Niku are having a great night.... the rest of the team seems to be staring and really lagging behind. This team does not look sharp at all.
  12. This real life story-line seems much more interesting then anything the writers could write for TV...
  13. Those numbers when not in the Red Zone is crazy!!!
  14. I saw a graph / photo on Riderfans (yuck) where they showed all of Jennings passes for the season and how many balls were off the mark and how they could of been picked off. The guy has huge issues with accuracy and the numbers do not look good at all considering he had great receivers to throw at.
  15. I would personally love it if a Landmark opened up instead... the city definitely needs more of those!
  16. The long shot rumour I heard was movie theatre moving to Sears and the food court would be renovated/extended with more options...
  17. It would be really awkward if they saw the video of her doing a gang bang with a bunch of porn stars dressed as wrestlers including HHH. Not that I've ever viewed this film myself , I just heard about this from a friend ya know
  18. Week 3 and they were already in jeopardy... yikes
  19. Better make sure safe search is set to on lol. It may mess them up seeing her starring role in some of her movies.
  20. Stone would look good with the Jets.... not sure what salary we would need to dump to get him? Does Perreault have NMC?
  21. I'm kind of glad that Punisher was cancelled, I tried making it through the first season but it was painfully slow. I'm hoping it can be re-done something more similar to the Thomas Jane movie and the short he did years later.
  22. I don't think anyone on the team doesn't want to be here, I think this is much more guys dogging it and not putting in a complete effort. Also a bit short on talent on defense where guys like Myers, Kulikov, Morrow seemed to have dropped off quite a bit since last year.
