I didn't know that crosswalk lights had genders

Nah I knew he was an idiot :)

This isn't even issue dude like literally no one gives a shit whether it's a dude a girl or even a fucking taco these people are just complaining cause they've got nothing better to do

Exactly @blackbanna

Considering Melbourne has hundreds of libraries why should tax payers have to pay for another one?

That was just an example

You are of course assuming that all of the traffic lights are brand new and aren't in need of replacement. I assume your 600,000 figure comes off the estimated cost of 8,400 to replace six traffic lights and I assume as well that 8400 is the total cost and not say, the cost of replacing a single pane of glass, correct?

Yes a poor example

How about a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter?

Would those typically be a part of an infrastructure budget?

There's no pleasing you is there?

Ahh so we can't win on facts so let's switch to personal attacks.

How about no. Take that somewhere else

Tks tks those pesky facts won't disappear just because you don't like them

What facts? It seems like you're spewing shit for the sake of it

See personal attacks

No. Did I insult you?
I said that your "facts" were a load of shit

Which ones in particular? Please tell me.

And yes swearing at me when I have not done the same to you is insulting.

Lol, OK then.
And literally everything you've said has been for the sake of arguing. An example was given, it wasn't suppoesed to be literal but you took it that way, and then started an unnecessary argument in which you were in the wrong.

How am in the wrong? And how is telling me that the cost of replacing traffic lights going to cost six hundred thousand dollars not supposed to be taken literally? I engaged with the person on what they said, nothing more.

You know what, I'm not going to argue with you. Read over the comments.

Fair enough, best of luck.

i just found that price point online my point is their are much better uses of taxpayer money if they want to help women or whatever they should instead use the tax money to make a woman's homeless shelter

I got the point, mine being that cities usually develop and vote on budgets for things like infrastructure and human services. Once the money is allocated you can't just decide to spend it on something else. I also pointed out that these traffic lights may have already been in need of replacement anyway in which case you can't just move the funds somewhere else. Either way you seem nice and I hope you have a good day!

you got me there with the budget thing haha but i still think its just a little silly but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion

Indeed, nice talking with you!

you too :)

It's more of a wage gap than a pay gap

No it's not. In a job, everyone gets paid the same amount of money. But when thy pay gap was being researched they asked all women how much the earned, and compared it to how much all men earned, not taking into account the different types of jobs, hours etc. And obviously they found that men earned more, because men tend to go for higher paying jobs like it says in the link.

That's what I meant

Why tf was I downvoted

Rabid guests maybe?

Wow, and it happened again.
I guess people are adamant that the pay gap exists.

Guess so

Just tell 'em where to stick it

Yep, the feminazis. If it bothers people so much, maybe we should just have a green light so no one has any thing to complain about

Don't forget how much it would cost to replace all the male traffic lights ;)

Kindly stfu and stop trying to revive a dead argument.

Just a joke. Sorry if I upset you.
