Without context, yes, it's sexist.

Context matters.
If this person is on her way into a pool, then I'd say it's not sexist.

If this person is on their way to an office meeting, then yes, it's sexist.

I would say it comes down to the "spectacularness" of the deaths we talk about.

A child being blown to bits by a radical religious nutcase enrages people.
Also a plane crash is a horrific accident with nation wide sorrow, while the same amount of traffic casualties doesn't even make it to the news outlets.

An adult male falling off his chairladder is just a dumbass and, in a sense, brought it on himself.
The same for fatalities from cars/alcohol/sickness/diseases/"self defence guns", and so on. These are every day deaths, and quite common, and does not spark much interest from people one state over.

If we reduce a life to a set amount of $ per year of life, and thus an early death will have a definite cost. If we choose this way of looking at it, everything becomes very easy. Good luck trying to implement it thou.

Let's examine the numbers, shall we? Stating absolute numbers without context doesn't tell anything.
hpk: shows efficiency, nothing else. A clan with smaller numbers will by definition be less efficient, as they might not have optimal breaking resources.
hpm: shows how many tyrranies one have, that's it.
total NW left: when the one side starts at a significant NW lead, shows nothing.
most kills: the side with the larger number of countires must have the higher number. 9 countries at 74 turns a day for 2 weeks is 74*9*14=9324 turns, or about 18 kills at 500 turns per kill.
most hits: see most kills.

If SoL?MD didnt score higher that SoF on ALL of these stats, they should quit warring, or join stones.

Stats without context is just numbers without meaning.

Without an agreement at the start of the war it is impossible to determine a winner.

The only thing that can be determined is hard facts, but that's all.
Next time, set definite war goals in the beginning, and the first to reach the goal wins, all other claims to victory is moot.

Good show from both sides!

Just to feed the flame, I just want to say that there is, politically, nothing even remotely left of conservative is the US.
Compared to the rest of the world, the US system is extreme right, ultra right, and then there is the strange clans even further to the right.

I wish more people would vote as you!
I don't know about this specific guy, but at least you vote, and therefor tries to change the system.

I personally come from a politically very different country, but the general principles ought to be the same.

That would be my next comment too, the united states of america is not exactly a democracy, (if you want an explanation, I'm happy to explain my stance, but it's a wall of post), and voter apathy is only reinforcing the current system.

If the people want change, the people have to force the change.

In my opinion, if one doesn't exercise the civic duty to vote, it is in practice a vote to keep the current system the way it is.

There can be no change in policies or politics as long as the majority doesn't make their voices heard.

That said, if there are no viable choices, it gets tougher, and that's where the write in votes becomes crucial.
Imagine if all the people that don't normally vote, voted for themselves.
All of a sudden the president candidates only get 15-20% each of the total number of votes.

Sure, they might not care, but it would scare them. And I am sure the non-state run media would love it!

Ok, so come over to my house tonight ofr dinner. We are serving cat fluff or dog fluff for dinner tonight. If you dont want to eat either, you can have leftover horse fluff from last night. Either way, you are eating fluff... also your fault for eating fluff.

You and i know this is not how it works, so please come back with an actual argument or stay away.

This is exactly how it works. Buy everything in the candidates grocery cart or vote to buy the other guys gocery cart... pick one or be accused of not picking one... it really is quiet a joke.

By choosing to heat horse fluff, I show you that your main courses weren't worth trying.
In political terms, my going to the election and casting the ballot on one that is not one of the two major contenders, you show that you want to vote, but there is nothing to vote on.

Democracy is not where one person have a great effect on things, but where millions of persons have a great effect on things.
