Yeah that's true, but they get hen pecked by people like Tanya Plibersek and Penny Wong.

What happens when you turn off the traffic lights at a busy intersection ?
I thought this exercise in social conditioning is very interesting. How will people respond when they have to "negotiate" their way through a busy intersection without traffic lights to determine who goes first. Well worth reading to the end.
Thoughtprovoking.

When Amsterdam removed signals from a busy junction, it made journeys faster and interactions more pleasant. Now the approach is being copied across the city

On a foggy Monday morning in May 2016, 14 Amsterdam officials, engineers and civil servants gathered nervously at Alexanderplein – a busy intersection near the city centre with three tramlines – where many people were walking, driving, and, as in any Dutch city, riding bicycles. With a flip of a switch, the traffic controls were shut off for all transport modes, in all directions.
This live pilot project came about as a result of the rapid growth in cycling in some Amsterdam neighbourhoods. Nearly 70% of all city centre trips are by bicycle, and more space is needed on the bike networks. Traffic designers are deviating from standard design manuals to accommodate this need. Among the tactics being used are the removal of protective barriers, altering light phases, reducing vehicular speed limits and designating entire corridors as “bicycle streets”. Designers have created their own toolbox of solutions for other Dutch cities to use.

So what % of the population uptake does it start being natural and normal just like the rest of the population?

People doesn't need to be "normal". They can be just as God made them, or as they made of themselves.
What they need is a law that doesn't permit some idiot discriminate or otherwise persecute them for it when they does no one any harm, just maybe offend (some) others their sense or good-taste, God's will or intolerable upbringing.

Most, just about all, supermodels are abnormal. They're anorexic and as flat as a board. Hardly any man's man definition of beauty in a female.

Supermodels model clothes that are affordable by wealthier women. Not there to model their looks for men. Anyway most average bitches shop at KMart or Target unless their partner (note genderless
) is loaded.

It also shows the stupidity of the US medical system that allows resources to be used in such a frivolous way.

Yea true. They actually are there to model clothes and not to turn men on. Which makes sense now that you pointed it out because them being skinny, flat and with that "you can't afford this" look only attracts rich a holes
Overpriced clothes does feel good though. Sure beats the typical Kmart offerings. I guess the rich do have good taste sometimes.

I find her looks creepy; but I can't say anything about her mental capacity. Assuming that. as an electrician, she earned enough money to spend $500k on changing her body, she must have some brains. You and I might choose a different hobby, but it's her choice. I know some people who pay that amount of money on membership in a club that lets them walk long distances, every so often hitting a little ball with a crooked stick. That isn't exactly my idea of an intelligent way to spend my day either.
So, each to their own.

Here's a classic example of engineering in play.
He's started with a personal bias conclusion and reverse engineered it disguised as some kind of King Solemn wisdom.

That is fantastic, got to love what people will do. Finally so social engineering at its best.
You have to love this stuff.
Lets see how big a man can get with steroids or far a female body can be transformed with surgery.
Surely we can break 8 seconds - 100mtr sprint with a little help. Who cares about being natural.
Is anyone interested in investing in my new startup?

I guess this could be filed here.
I guess final version goes with "hits civilians" instead of "cause casualties".
As in "A U.S. missile strike hit civilians". Did it kill them? Cause casualties?
We report, you decide.
I guess it couldn't have killed any civilians because of that "missile malfunction".
I prefer Reuters because they often report straight from the news wire. BUt I guess it was a matter of time before commentaries and emphasis shape that wire.
