Why should a women have to shave if a man doesn't?
I don't even mind a nice set of hairy legs.
I agree it is unfair women have to shave everything while dudes have always been gorillas .... i thought things would change a while back ... they did, tho not what i thought ... now dudes are also hairless

I'm not judging her, you never told us her name FFS, and the only identifiable features you gave us was that she had hairy armpits.

I know what I would and wouldn't argue and under what circumstances I would argue whatever the hell I would argue, I don't expect others to know though, that's an argument I wouldn't ( and strangely enough didn't ) make.

Do you even know what it is you are arguing about?
Well you implied that HJ is "dumb" for expecting you to defend "an argument you wouldn't make". How is he to know what argument you wouldn't make? Certainly your stated position is at least adjacent to the one you imply you wouldn't make.

I love seeing words like 'probably', 'could', 'might' and 'potentially' in these debates... Might as well shake an 8 ball and tell people to act on the advice that spins up....
Actually these are real terms used by analysts to indicate confidence in an assessment. Obviously it's very difficult to tell the difference between a capable analyst and one that's full of shit.

Well, no I didn't, I said...

Well at the very least, the last thing you wanna be doing is defending an argument you wouldn't make, cause that be real f**king dumb.

.............which implies no such f**king thing.

Disagreement over Australia’s plan to use an accounting loophole to meet its climate target will spill into 2020 after a United Nations conference in Madrid failed to reach consensus on rules to implement the global deal.

As talks dragged past the scheduled Friday close into Sunday afternoon, Australia was accused of “cheating” and named by other countries and conference observers as one of a handful of nations that thwarted a deal on the rulebook for the Paris climate agreement.

The Morrison government drew criticism throughout the fortnight-long conference for planning to use carryover credits, an accounting measure linked to the expiring Kyoto protocol, to meet the 2030 emissions target it set at the Paris summit four years ago.
Australia claims access to the carryover credits for beating its Kyoto targets. Opponents say those targets were unambitious and based on earlier favourable account rules won by the Howard government more than 20 years ago.

Laurence Tubiana, a former French environment minister and architect of the Paris accord, told the Financial Times: “If you want this carryover it is just cheating. Australia was willing in a way to destroy the whole system, because that is the way to destroy the whole Paris agreement.”

Using the credits would reduce what Australia needs to do to meet its 2030 target of a minimum 26% cut in emissions below 2005 levels by more than half. Analysts said there was no legal basis for Australia using the credits as the Kyoto and Paris agreements were separate treaties, and noted officials had acknowledged Australia was the only country planning to still count them.

In a last-ditch bid to reach agreement on Saturday, a group of nations, led by Costa Rica and including Britain, Germany and New Zealand, released a set of minimum standards for a deal. Described as the “San Jose principles”, they included an explicit prohibition on the use of carryover credits and other Kyoto-era allowances sought by some major developing countries, particularly Brazil.

Costa Rica’s environment and energy minister, Carlos Manuel Rodríguez, called out “Australia, Brazil and the US” for blocking progress. The group said the steps were necessary to keep open the possibility of limiting industrial global heating to as close to 1.5C as possible, a goal agreed in Paris four years ago.
