Are people really that young or un educated, the pc crowd started a long time ago, before most of us where born.
YouTube old George Carlin stand up, he started talking about the pc issue in the 60s, i understand that back then the media was alot smaller and most had no clue what was going down, but plz educate yourself.
The Iowa Supreme Court agreed, interpreting the relevant Iowa statute (correctly, I think) as requiring court approval for the vasectomy. But it’s worth noting that the court accepted that such vasectomies of the intellectually disabled can indeed be approved, if a court agrees.
The woman's sickle cell disease is very serious and the baby must be terminated very soon to reduce the risk of her losing her life, they say.
While abortion rights advocates might well point to Zika-linked microcephaly as evidence that the U.S. needs to liberalize abortion laws, disability rights advocates might argue otherwise. On the issue of abortion, the feminist and disability rights movement often come into uncomfortable conflict as they struggle to accommodate both the rights of a woman to control her own fertility and the rights of people with disabilities to exist.
Just because some people do not want to accept diversity and instead fight it the entire way doesn't mean diversity is a bad thing, it just means some people do not want to cooperate or compromise.

Unfortunately, there is no way to eliminate political parties. In the most strict definition, a political party is a group of people with similar beliefs. That cannot be outlawed because there will always be people with similar beliefs.
May I suggest we use the term "collusion" to describe the problem? It appears to be more accurate and can be outlawed.

If diversity cannot be accomplished then we won't make it very long before we kill each other off. Like I said, if diversity is doomed to fail then so is our species.

Furthermore, without significant changes to our election process, we'll likely always have two major parties (see Duverger's law).

Cooperation is not diversity. Diversity cannot compromise; to compromise means less diversity.
Cooperation is unity. Many acting together as one. Compromise leads to cooperation, which is unity.

I have a 15-year-old daughter. I am teaching her how to be a productive, caring, and fair citizen of this world.
I am teaching her that there are different cultures, and people who don't look at things quite the same way she does. I am teaching her that these different cultures can all live together in peace, and still have their own way of looking at things. I am teaching her the importance of things like equality under the laws.
I am teaching her that there is suffering and that we will all be judged (and will judge ourselves) some day on how we deal with that suffering - whether we ignore it in favor of our own well-being, or whether we try to do what we can to end that suffering. I am teaching her to stand up for her own AND for others' rights - but only in non-violent ways.
I am teaching her that it is wrong to kill, lie, steal from or otherwise hurt others. I am teaching her to be kind and thoughtful of others' feelings.
I am teaching her to be responsible with the environment when it comes to her carbon footprint

OP's thesis uses the tactics of every demagogue ... referring to a vast phantom menace while utterly unable to give specifics as to who, what, when and where.
OP isn't talking about real people ... OP is talking about gross ideology.
Another day at the ATS rock.
LOL. Ok allow me. Let me ask toward this new spirit of "diversity" and saying this without prejudice, let that be understood.
Postulation: Could the United State have went on without the introduction of Muslims, Buddhists, even Catholics ect religiously as well as the importation of Communalism i.e. other political influential philosophies with its various faces. Did we really need, do we really need, all this world wide cultural addendum?
This is not a trick question.....how does the Buddhist Temple down the road here, two of them actually, add value to american society and not to mention the people that brought them there? And did we really need them here or are they simply just "here now" due to our international interventionist foreign policies, their failure and our now trying to make excuses for them.
Come on, come on.

If you think about it you and others are saying that american society is doomed without it, Why?
You can have unity in diversity
The first is to establish three largely autonomous regions with a viable central government in Baghdad. The Kurdish, Sunni and Shiite regions would each be responsible for their own domestic laws, administration and internal security.
Galbraith says that the Sunni Awakening still remains very hostile to the Iraqi government, and the government sees the Awakening as a bigger threat than al-Qaida. The incoming Obama administration will bring Vice President-elect Joe Biden into the fray, which Galbraith calls "very encouraging." Biden "has been the prime proponent of a decentralized Iraq, and although in the campaign Sen. McCain described [Biden's] plan as a 'cockamamie' idea," Galbraith says, "it is in fact what the Bush administration has done." In 2007, the Bush administration financed a Sunni army — the Awakening — and Galbraith says this is responsible for the success so far in Iraq. Biden would take this to the next step and encourage the Sunnis to form their own region, which would control that army, just as the Kurdistan region controls the Peshmerga, or the Kurdistan army, Galbraith says.
all men being created equal and deserving equal treatment. That's why America is doomed without diversity.
