You must be retarded to think women outnumber men 4 to 1.

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant outnumber globally. The XX combination is much more common than the XY.

Women aren't minorities you dolt. 1/5 stars

[jayhawk09]

Nice try "Prophetofdoom." Look at all 16 presidential candidates and tell me how many middle aged white men you see and how many black people and women you see. Correct me if I'm wrong but 2 out of 16 is the minority.

[prophetofdoom]

Hah!

Well if you look at it that way then John Edwards is a 1/16 minority because he is the only one who pays 400 bucks for hair cuts.

O I see, you only consider genitals and skin color when you classify "minorities". How small minded of you.

Look I'm all for criticism, but you could be nice about it at least. Rather than project your umbrage with the democratic hopefuls on my comments wall, maybe you should like to be more proactive and post your own questions or thoughts on Youtube. Just a friendly suggestion...and you get to exercise your first amendment right. At any rate, you bring up a good point. Women aren't minorities; they actually outnumber men nearly 4 to 1, but in politics and the workforce that isn't so true.

( see below).... In Topeka , Kansas( for you morons) .. Topeka is the Capital of Kansas! And John Stewart mentioned Jordan on his show on Comedy Central! So don't hate because Jordan's question was deemed important enough to be chosen for national tv! Jordan is a very intelligent politically aware and kind person you don't know anything about him! I know him very well... I raised him! Yes, I'm his mother and I'm very proud of him and all he has accomplished!

[glendaraewilliams]

To all you narrow minded, uneducated idiots such as....Killerme, Prophetof...DUMB, and Kungfuyou..... Get over yourself! The question was based on what had already been mentioned in the media and that was exactly how Jordan prefaced the question. And if you think race and gender don't matter in every aspect of life, you are living in a fantasy world! Oh and by the way, not only was Jordan's question chosen by CNN, but he was interviewed by The Huffington Post, KMBC in Kansas City, WIBW Radio

who cares, both are big government, tax and spenders.

[SparklestheClown]

Really good question!

[ChodaCS]

Woot Woot, leave it to me, I raise dogs for a living

[mightym2]

Good question, congrats on having it chosen! You can't keep a jayhawk down! Good luck at KU from mightym2, class of 79.

and yeah, its a wierd name. just a temp account

[Blood0rc]

Dont pay them too much mind jordan. Many of them are too narrow-minded and miss the main point of what you are truly trying to illustrate, that, or jealous because you got your question answered in a national presidential debate.

Anyway, good luck at KU.

Great question. It pisses me off when I read those comments in news papers.
