Wouldn't have been good for my preggo BP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293709 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 12:26:52 +0000 BlueWolverine 2293709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought her answer was ridiculous. She made and excellent point that women are not a special interest group. However, that does NOT mean that we should not be taking our correct place in history, as reflected by the symbols we use.</p> <p>Also, Jeb Bush and the guy who said Mother Theresa made me more angry than the guys who said their wife/mom. You can't think of a SINGLE AMERICAN WOMAN who merits recognition??? Are you kidding me???</p> <p>I got a little ragey about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293671 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 12:02:57 +0000 Maysprout 2293671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of those answers were bizarre. Two of them didn't even choose American women. Bush's answer of Margeret Thatcher??? That's an answer you'd see on SNL or something. And the wife/mother/daughter answers make zero sense. Fiorini's answer summed up the ridiculous responses and was exactly what's wrong with the current Republica image with a lot of women . . . Calling women tokens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293608 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 11:27:08 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2293608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Herrade: I took a Ghost Tour of DC and the guide's stories of Jackson's curses strill creeps me me out. I couldn't wait to get out of the park where his memorial statute is displayed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293585 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 11:06:37 +0000 Herrade 2293585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Indeed. Jackson would be rolling in his grave if he knew he were on paper money regulated by a central bank. I see it as a just punishment for blowing up the economy and financial system in 1837. His crimes against Native Americans requires a deeper degree of eternal torment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293533 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 10:41:54 +0000 honeybear 2293533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I agree that the plan to have them "share" the $10 is a poor choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293514 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 10:32:50 +0000 mrbee 2293514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: Yah but then the $10 bill would be split between a man and a woman - not fair to the newest person on our paper currency.</p> <p>I'd rather see Jackson off the $20 bill entirely. He didn't like paper money or central banks, so I don't really get why he's even on there in the first place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293512 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 10:32:26 +0000 yoursilverlining 2293512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I disagree with her statement – moves to better represent our nation’s history and its important and impactful historical figures who have been and continue to be terribly underrepresented are not “token” moves: they are steps in the right direction.</p> <p>Honestly, I was more dismayed by the other candidate’s responses – several votes for daughters and wives. Would they have named their sons or fathers had they been asked what man should be featured on new currency? Extremely doubtful. Totally juvenile and dismissive. Then of course there was Jeb who thinks a British PM is the perfect choice to be the face of the currency of the United States. facepalm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293474 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 10:12:40 +0000 honeybear 2293474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think the design of our paper currency is a particularly pressing issue facing our country, and certainly not one that a future (or sitting) president needs to think too hard about. I think Fiorina was spot on about that.</p> <p>@mrbee: Hamilton isn't going anywhere. Treasury says he's going to still be pictured on the $10 bill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293369 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 09:17:52 +0000 lawbee11 2293369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: Totally agree with you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293363 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 09:12:53 +0000 Rockies11 2293363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought what she said was absurd. The reason why there are no women on the bills is not because there are no women worthy of that honour in the absence of them being a "special interest group", it's because women's contributions to history have been undervalued. It's not tokenism to right a wrong. Rosa Parks, for example, has certainly contributed enough to American society to warrant her face on a bill in her own right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293329 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 09:02:06 +0000 blackbird 2293329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a $1 coin with a woman on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293326 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 09:00:33 +0000 Adira 2293326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Yep, I agree with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293300 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:51:34 +0000 travellingbee 2293300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get what she's saying and I don't disagree but it's kind of like the people saying not to take down confederate flags because it won't change anything and it's just a gesture (not an exact comparison I know). Well sure, it's a gesture, but lots of visible changes like that start to change public perception over the long haul. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293238 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:27:19 +0000 mrbee 2293238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd prefer to see a woman on the $20 bill instead of the $10, just because Hamilton founded the financial system in America! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293234 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:25:25 +0000 DesertDreams88 2293234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto what @Ms. Line said :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293232 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:24:08 +0000 ShootingStar 2293232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think her explanation is at odds with her answer. Women make up more than half of this country. So why shouldn't half of our money (or at least one bill) represent that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293227 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:22:51 +0000 avivoca 2293227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved her statement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293226 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:21:58 +0000 ms.line 2293226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely agree with her general sentiment, but I'd also like to see a woman on our paper currency. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carly-fiorina-doesnt-want-to-put-a-women-on-the-10-bill#post-2293210 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:16:08 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2293210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the other candidates suggested Rosa Parks or their female loved ones, but Carly Fiorina said we shouldn't change our money.</p> <p>I'm not opposed to adding a woman to the $10 bill, but I still loved her answer: <a href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/carly-fiorina-10-dollar-bill" rel="nofollow">http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/carly-fiorina-10-dollar-bill</a></p> <p>What do you think? </p>
