in depth piece and USAToday just dont belong together in the same sentence

Basically because they have factories on the West Bank & Israeli settlements in that area is considered illegal in international law. At the same time, the factories employ Palestinians who reside in the West Bank.

My guess is that he lands in an organization in a progressive market with a team that's not risk-averse (not that Sam is a risk), e.g., Seattle or San Francisco. (And the rest of the NFL should shudder at the thought of either of those teams landing another potential monster pass rusher).

There's a reason all of these GMs spoke anonymously.

While I agree that the original comment was turning this into a bit of a personal issue. Your comments turned this into one sided racial one. The world is not black and white. While I agree that race does play a big part in this problem (as this article shows) it does not give you the right to say that it is the only…

How do you know the person telling the story was white? Fuck off with your hyper-defensiveness. If you can't read a comment that DOES NOT MENTION RACE without interjecting your paranoia and kneejerk defensive bullshit, you don't belong on the internet. That's twisted, man.

The real test of the legitimacy of this is to flip it backwards logically. I come from a long line of French Canadian Mennonites and I have a family tree traced back to the 1500s on one side (thank you, bibles!) and to the early 1800s on the other. I'm reasonably certain none of my direct ancestors owned slaves…

So, some of my relatives were Vikings. I am NOT going to be held accountable for their actions.

What does it matter 300 years later WHAT his relatives did? This is a ridiculous non-news story.

Making rape easier to prosecute reduces rape. True of all crimes.

You obviously live in some weird upside-down world where feeding the hungry is more important than fizzy sugar water.

The newspaper piece was not bad. If I had come across it and read it without reading the sensationalism first, I would have thought nothing of it. The partisan attack machine twisted it to make it sound much worse than it was. Jeff Davis himself has said the attacks were unfair and based on out of context quotes and…

And secondary to that, what on earth is wrong with a father as a primary caregiver anyway?? The whole thing is fucked up.

"And, on Sunday, like clockwork, a Dallas paper ran a barbecued garbage "expose" that slammed her for being a bad mother. Texas-style sexism really sticks to the ribs, doesn't it?"

Buonanno is a definitely South Italian surname. Probably he's a child or grandchild of South Italian immigrants like me, but with memory issues. (It's hard to remember how your folks were treated, with no brains)

Yes, that is literally what they want.

Guys, as an Italian I'd just like to say something. Yes, Italy has a huge problem with racism in general, but Lega Nord is infamous for its racism even by our normal standards. They used to be total laughingstock that had virtually no power and nobody took seriously (they used to get less than 3% of votes), but they…

the idea that murder is excusable if the victim did something illegal is reprehensible.

Wasn't she also like 21?

Judging from what I've heard, there are virtually no similarities between this case and the Zimmerman case. This guy had no reason to believe he was at risk of being murdered or suffering extreme bodily harm.
