PERSON, you are misinformed about Economics. It is most certainly a social science. If you want proof just look up the definition of Economics on Wikipedia or any online dictionary.
One example: PERSON (one of the most influential Economists of all time, sometimes described as "founder" of modern Macroeconomics) on what he sees as the "ideal" economist:
"He must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher—in some degree. He must understand symbols and speak in words ... He must study the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future. No part of man’s nature or his institutions must lie entirely outside his regard."
History, philosophy, politics, institutions, human nature? Not all covered in your typical BComm :)
Your view is of course not uncommon - but that is an indictment of how Economics has come to be taught, especially in SA, and not what it should be. The more recognition of economies as being embedded in society the better. | biased | 5237774 | 1,301 |

President PERSON was criticized (justifiably, in my view) for saying that when the ACA became law, everyone would be able to keep her or his doctor; some people were not able to do that. If PERSON did not know that, he should have known it. That lapse seems quaint now, against the extraordinary dishonesty of PERSON and the Republicans with respect to health care. For six years, every time they repeated the mantra “Repeal and Replace”, they were lying: they had and still have no plan to replace the ACA. The farce they released yesterday was cobbled together in haste. Conservatives don’t like it because it doesn’t hurt enough people; too many people will still have insurance. Liberals don’t like it because it will hurt so many people -- between 15-20 million people will lose their health insurance. | unbiased | 4975401 | 1,303 |

It sends a strong message to all the participants in this regressive and repressive practice that in this society it is impractical to wear a niqab. It delegitimizes the practice. Mandates reasonable openness and transparency. I say it should go further and ban the operation of motor vehicles while wearing a niqab or burqa because it dangerously limits vision. | unbiased | 6218110 | 1,306 |

One point of agreement with this author is that a half story ignores facts. You indicate that most psychologists have undergraduate science coursework upon which to build and yet have referenced no data (other than your own experience) so are either unaware of the “typical” doctoral student experience or are willfully ignoring facts, evidence and data. My students and I collected data from a representative sample of nearly 400 Oregon psychologists following the 2010 veto of a similar bill and published those findings in a peer-reviewed journal this fall. Less than 9% of the sample had a science background (only one who expressed interest in psychopharmacology training!). Why is there a resistance to acknowledging the different skill sets and requiring strong science grounding prior to pursuing prescriptive authority (this is what the DoD program required and advised)? | unbiased | 5495668 | 1,314 |

My sense is that at a certain point all systems of governance will have no ideological/moral underpinning and be more like a plumbing system of a super-organised suburb that services all houses and allows access for all - all worked and 'manned' by AI. It's inevitable because there's never been a period in the history of our existence where the pyramids set up behind the facade and its inclusive narrative don't exist. It's sickening because the established systems/structures/institutions always become the vehicles for power hungry characters with no scruples, but I am never sure whether the relationship between those who swallow the narrative ad infinitum (especially today when evidence for the failure of every aspect of democracy as described is self-evident by everything we see and experience in our daily lives) and those who spin and shape it - ad infinitum - will ever surface and be seen for what it is - dysfunctional sublimation. | biased | 5662709 | 1,317 |

Good for PERSON for reminding people about the difference between legitimate Veterans' groups and those that are just rip-offs (think of those melodramatic TV fundraising ads.) While I'm not in the VFW as is PERSON, even as a peacetime Cold War Vet I hate to see con artists rip off vets. PERSON's concern with PERSON is well founded, for while he preaches respect for vets his own history here is shady.
During the PERSON war, young men who were draftable faced tough choices. Many went and ended up in that brutal war; others strongly opposed the war and refused to go. I respect and honor both those decent American groups.
But a third faction "patriotically" supported that endless war but found ways to keep their own precious selves safe by endless deferments and questionable methods. One of those jerks, a military school graduate, is running for president. And he even ridiculed a true PERSON hero. | biased | 335665 | 1,322 |

This story is trash, and at some level you know it. I've provided a link to CDC reports that zika infection causes fetal deformities in only 6 percent of infected pregnancies, I have pointed out that El Salvador probably doesn't have the imaging to determine those deformities in advance, and I have shown how implausible it would be for a woman who didn't know the condition of her fetus, or likely didn't even know she'd been infected (that is all hearsay) to climb on a plane in her late third trimester to deliver a baby she didn't know was deformed in the US while visiting relatives. | biased | 5537035 | 1,334 |

In 2012, my son passed all his classes with good grades and extra hs credits, but struggled on the state writing test, therefore he wasn't able to get his diploma until the following school year, as he has to take the alternative testing opportunities (ACT and SAT) during the summer after graduation.. which I also had to pay for. It was such a shame to put him through all that, especially when the school district uses computers for everything, from elem to high school yet the written test is hand-written. His topics were crazy too, nothing that related to a high school students interest. I hope they rid the requirements for these tests, and leave it to each student to pass their required classes/finals to graduate. | unbiased | 5315448 | 1,345 |

1. PERSON used WMD's to kill about 13,000 Kurds due to an internal battle with them. Our attack on Iraq has arguably killed 300,000 people. So, because it was "chemical" weapons, 13,000 is a bigger issue than 300,000? That's comical. It's just like the Syrian chemical attack. 30 got killed. The world makes a big deal of it. We do a bombing run that same week and kill 60. Nobody here says anything, but they still make a big deal of the chemical attack. Absolutely ridiculous P.R. garbage in our favor. (oh, let's not forget that our attack destabilized the country where when PERSON was in charge it was relatively stable)
2. PERSON claimed Iraq was a threat to the United States. It was widely publicized at the time as a means of selling the invasion. Go read PERSON's 48 hours speech. So, yes, it was pimped as a threat.

Back in the old days, the 1980s, there was an airline called Wardair. I don't remember what the seating was lik, but, even in economy where unfortunately I'm always located, I don't remember them being as tight and cramped as seats are now. The service, however, was wonderful - Royal Doulton china, real silverware, free drinks and meals and little extras like clotted cream with the fresh scones on a flight from England, soft blankets and pillows on longer trips, hot towels, and chocolates, nuts or chips to keep hunger pangs at bay between meal service. The attendants were charming and the airline went out of its way to make the boarding and off boarding process as seamless and easy as possible. Flying was an adventure back then, a treat. Now, it's an unpleasant chore to be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Who's up for a road trip? | unbiased | 5166223 | 1,358 |

But fear not - if we continue to overuse antibiotics, the old (including my cohort, the boomers) will succumb earlier than this generation of the old, to an overwhelming infection, probably the first major pneumonia case we get. Because otherwise, we better hope cancer gets us as we progress to dementia. Just look at today's nursing homes, filled with elderly people of the last "naturally selected" population (before todays medical miracles) - they are outliving their minds. | unbiased | 5445305 | 1,397 |
No, by definition a threat is not violence. They are two different things. If a person threatens to kill you, that's a threat and may be very frightening. If a person actually tries to kill you, that's violence, and if you ever have that happen to you and survive it, you will come away with a really clear understanding of the difference. | biased | 5188706 | 1,398 |
