Well, I guess. If I understood right what calculus mean. Actually, I am not sure there is a direct equivalent.

In America (not sure about the other countries)... we usually go Algebra, Geometry, More Algebra, Trigonometry and finally Calculus.... and from what I understand, Calculus is a big deal for people like Engineers

For business majors its Algebra1/Geometry/Algebra2 and then Business Calc(which regular calc except they teach you all the shortcuts and easy ways to solve problems) Never took or need to take Trig.

Also multiple statistics related classes.

Ahh, see, I've yet to do my college maths... the path that I listed was how my High School tiered things... They may have done a "pre-calculus" in between Alg2, and trig, but since one school apparently burned my record which forced me to retake all my math from middle school i never did get that far.

thats odd... in my french language, and i mean parisian, not quebecois, though I do mix both a bit just due to quebecois being taught here, and my time in france further muddied the two together... heck I have been know to randomly switch from french to spanish without realizing it too...

For me, calculus is the same word in english and french, calculate is calculer in french

Truthfully, Calculus is really just algebra with some extra concepts that are super easy to understand(if you remembered your Algebra)

I learned more algebra in my Calc class than I learned in 4 years of high school and the 2 prior years of college.

Strange indeed.
Look at what Wikipédia points to when looking for calculus : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus . A spider!
Wikitonary does not know better : https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/calculus .

By the way, you did not answer about the personal attack.

Just needed an excuse to post this.

Dafuq, a beauty contestant that is actually really beautiful. I think that's the real reason people are mad.

How about we use a combination of everything? Teach the men about rape and why its bad, and teach woman how to avoid getting raped and how to protect themselves.

I don't think the issue is that men are unaware that rape is bad. Rapists just don't care. It could be genuine misogyny and the belief that women are inferior and have no rights. It could be hatred or obsession with that specific women. It could be that the rapist is dumb as a rocks and wouldn't know better if you doubled his IQ. It could be heat of the moment stupidity. It could be because they believe they'll get away with it. I'll agree that men need to be made aware of how mentally and emotionally traumatic being raped is because I know many, possibly most, don't understand that at all.

I don't think that we're debating that most men dont know that rape is bad... I think the bit that does need more education is just the extent of how "easy" it is to rape. Ie. meet cute girl at party, during party, prior to blacking out she tells dude that she "wants him"... later, she blacks out drunk, so he takes advantage of the situation. Basically, because she was drunk when she "gave consent", she didn't actual give consent... and ESPECIALLY didn't give consent when she was blacked out.

Which can get more complicated if the guy is also drunk.

Which ultimately gets us to the common sense warning that nobody should get that wasted. ever.

Basically a lot of guys get that screwed up all the bloody time. Guys need to be properly educated on all the things.

We need better sex education and also we need to know when no means no.

Because right now most men have no idea what consent is. A lot of guys think getting a girl willing drunk and when she is drunk she says, or if she is not conscious it's okay to have sex with her. :/ People don't know.

No, I think most of them know exactly what they're doing and that its wrong but do it anyway.

Most people know that no means no, and many of them just don't care.

And that comes down to the current culture of "bro fives" or fists, or whatever "bros" do nowadays for their most recent "conquest"


If you are that type of dude, let me assure you, you'll get far more in life with more respect than that toward women.

Jeebus, guys. 4 pages in and this is the first picture of Miss Nevada.

I am really disappointed in you all. -5 Internet Points, all around.

She's fething hot, none of the girls at my taekwondo school ever looked like that. (though I certainly wish they would have)

I wouldn't mind her hurting me.

She is way hotter than the Australian winner.



EDIT
Maybe... is this the Miss Universe one that Trumps owns just to hit on women, or the Miss World one? Because they had the Australian Miss Universe girl on TV the other night, and this tae-kwon-do girl is way hotter than that Australian girl.

Does Miss World still have points based on how much charity work they've done?

And which is the one that Venezuela always wins?

Who was the aussie?

The Miss Venezuela pageant.

And Trump owns the Miss Universe Pageant: Article

Trump owns the Miss Universe Organization, which puts on the annual pageants Miss Universe, Miss Teen USA, and Miss USA

Not to derail the thread too much, but isn't the Miss Universe "pageant" sort of like the Mr. Olympia is for men?

I don't know what that means.

Mr. Olympia is one of the biggest bodybuilding competitions... I seem to recall there being a "Universe" title as well, but can't remember if it was for men, women, or both (and cant be arsed to look it up right now)

I see. I don't think so.

Miss Universe pageants is all of the Miss [INSERT COUNTRY NAME] Beauty Pageant contestants competing for Miss Universe. Like Miss America, Miss Venezuela, and Miss Europe.

Mr. Olympia a body building thingy.

I'm not aware of another body bulding thingy called Miss Universe.
