I don't know if Kavanaugh is guilty of what he is being accused of and I don't think anybody else knows for sure either.

That aside, as a registered democrat, I don't want to see Kavanaugh being confirmed. I understand registered republicans would like to see Kavanaugh being confirmed.

I try to look at both sides, but when it comes down to purely political matters most of the time I'm going to side with democrats because the beliefs of the democratic party are more in line with my own and my parents and friends are democrats.

Do you think Kavanaugh will be confirmed and do you want him to be confirmed

The United Nations 1956 Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery also prohibits serfdom as a form of slavery.

Serfs could be bought, sold, or traded, abused with no rights over their own bodies, and could not leave the land they were bound to. Serfs who occupied a plot of land were required to work for the lord of the manor who owned that land. In return they were entitled to protection and the right to cultivate certain fields within the manor to maintain their own subsistence. Serfs were often required not only to work on the lord's fields, but also in his mines and forests and to labor to maintain roads.

Professor Alessandro Strumia, of Pisa University, has been suspended with immediate effect from working with the European nuclear research centre CERN, pending an investigation, after giving a speech at a workshop in Geneva on gender and high energy physics where he told his audience of mostly female physicists that "physics was invented and built by men, it's not by invitation", and that his results "prove that physics is not sexist against women. However the truth does not matter, because it is part of a political battle coming from outside".

He produced a series of graphs which showed that women were hired over men whose research was cited more by other scientists in their publications, an indication of higher quality. He also presented data that showed that male and female researchers were equally cited at the start of their careers, but men scored progressively better as their careers progressed. Prof Strumia also pointed to behavioral research, citing a study which indicated that "men prefer working with things and women prefer working with people" and another suggesting that there was a "difference even in children before any social influence", saying that these conclusions may "not be fully right... (but) the opposite assumption of identical brains is ideology".

Unfortunately for Strumia though, Dr Jessica Wade, a physicist from Imperial College London, was at the meeting, and contacted BBC News to tell them how "really upsetting to those at the workshop," his speech was. "This man gets up, saying all this horrible stuff. I don't understand how such a forward thinking organisation like CERN, which does so much to promote diversity in research, could have invited him to speak to young people". When the BBC contacted Prof Strumia about his "highly offensive" speech, he said: "People say that physics is sexist, physics is racist. I made some simple checks and discovered that it wasn't, that it was becoming sexist against men and said so." What do you think?

What so you think on China and our Midterms?

Senator Diane Feinstein released the contents of a July 2018 letter she received from Dr Christine Blasey Ford charging Judge Kavanaugh (nominated for a Justice on the Supreme Court) sexually assaulted her when the were in high school 35+ years ago. Dr Ford says she cannot remember the place, date or time, but it happened. Since Senator Feinstein released the contents of the letter, much controversy has surrounded the encounter. It has become clear the Democrats are manufacturing this controversy to derail the President Trump SCOTUS pick.
