    I find it incredible that, in this day and age, there are still Neanderthals walking about, treating women like objects.

    wel...

    Well... having a discussion is one thing. I see people with both main us parties who think they should keep browbeating everyone around them with their political views though; get a few of them bickering and this could go on for months, rapidly turn into a unproductive pain in the ass for everyone around them.
