There is something very dishonest when somebody talks about how people died for the freedom that we take for granted, only to brow beat somebody when he says he isn’t feeling very patriotic. Pride in freedom, especially when we’re talking about low level, non violent protest, requires thicker skin. Saying “Well, I…

they would believe he owes respect to the NATION (the American people), and to the soldiers that fought and died to kept us free

You mean besides all the government funding that the NFL gets for stadiums which inflates their bottom line? Not to mention the tax dollars that go into college football which allow players like him to play, develop and get drafted? Not to mention the larger issues of, you know, having a stable government which allows…

It’s not a straw man, it’s what conservatives do to athletes who get out of line. Can you not recognize that your stance makes you an EXTREME outlier in the conservative community? Head on over to Pro Football talk for a taste.

If you are more upset at Kaepernick protesting police brutality than you were at the police committing it, yeah, you're part of the problem.

it is parody of a pretty standard conservative hot take in response to a person of color saying basically anything. If conservatives weren’t so illogical and hateful, they wouldn’t be mocked in this way.

People get so up in arms about that song. It’s propaganda. We think it’s weird when we see bits of North Korea and the way they parade around and pretend like everything is patriotic and perfect. But then someone here doesn’t wanna parade around and buy into the chant reaffirming their American-ness...and we lose our…

Conservatives on big government: “I made this money with my own hard work, I didn’t need the government’s help.”

Apparently everyone read the Salux posts and went immediately to Amazon because they are now out of stock.

Reading this thread made me legit sad more people don’t know about Salux. THERE IS A BETTER WAY! FREE YOURSELF FROM WASHCLOTH AND LOOFAH TYRANNY!

I don’t have dry or sensitive skin, but Dr. Bronner’s dries the hell out of my skin. I don’t understand how people can use it to clean their bodies. We watered it down as hand-soap in a pump and both my and my partner’s hands got so dry they felt like reptile skin. I love Dr. Bronner’s for house-cleaning, but not as a…

If you don’t have an exfoliating wash cloth, like the kind Auntie Esther uses at the Korean spa in the communal shower, then you are washing wrong. You can just throw those suckers into the washing machine too.

TRYING NOT TO BREED SUPER BUGS THATS WHAT. It’s like immune system boot camp.

antibacterial soap is bad for you since it leads to superbacteria. what’s with your smugness?

What about the intense war between washcloth users and non-washcloth users?

Anyone who says “I have no interest in it” twice in the same paragraph is a fucking liar.

My half sister accused my father of abuse. I don't believe her (for a variety of reasons), but my father was TORN UP by it. He never brushed it aside, he went to therapy and it took years for him to come to terms with the fact that he wasn't even in the same state as her when she said he abused her. That he DIDN'T do…

That, and then has the nerve of tut-tutting politicians for politicizing the film.

Mine too.

Krasinski is still on my shitlist for starring in the Michael Bay-produced anti-Hillary screed.
