Also, the NYPD loves the "low hanging fruit". By low hanging fruit I mean harassing Black & Brown people.

Typical New York pricks & dicks M.O.

No significant problems I can think of. Your right that she could be lieing to me about her Catholic guilt being the problem, that is always a possibility. She is what I would call a "poser" feminist, she talks a good feminist game, but when you scratch the surface she is pretty traditional and old fashioned in her…

I commend you for being able to move past shit like that, I've had a harder time letting go of my experiences with the NYPD. I look forward to the move, and I will miss the seasons, although the winter snowfall doesnt have the same appeal it did when I was a kid and missing school. CA all day!

I could not agree more.

I agree, but the whole "why should my tax dollars pay for a program/policy I dont believe in" argument is such bullshit. I dont want to pay for the drug war/foreign occupations/spying on Americans/wall street bailouts, etc., but guess what, I still have to pay for them regardless.

Wow, sorry you had to go through that. I've been thrown up against a wall and had a handgun pointed at my head but never the kind of treatment you received. I agree with you that that kind of situation can occur anywhere in the country. I also feel like it is more likely to happen in NYC, just based on it having…

How is stopping unwanted pregnancy a bad thing?

Agreed. And I've been putting up with this my entire life, it's the reason I dont wear "baggy clothes" (skinny jeans for life, cant carry a gun in tight ass pants!). I should have moved to the other side of the country years ago.

Yes. This.

From Gothamist:

As a youngish, male New Yorker of color I can say,

Deep down I know your right.

My gf has a low sex-drive. Whenever she does want to have sex I just assume she's doing it because she feels "obligated". This situation in turn makes me want to have sex with her less and less. In all honesty, I think about cheating alot.

Glad you brought this up. I assume your talking about the anti-fracking protests? I know of someone, a friend of a friend, who is in Yellowknife right now, he keeps me abreast of the situation you speak of over facebook. I agree with everything you stated, I to tend to view law enforcement as a form of "occupying…

"how men truly just can't understand, because there's no real equivalent for them, how we can feel hunted on a daily basis"

My gf calls herself a 'good girl', based on her Catholic upbringing. I think it's her way of reminding me that she is sexually unadventurous, not very fashionable, and borderline boring. I tend to find myself drawn to women who can not be described this way, but you know, Inertia and stuff.

Lest Instagram upset the "Family Values" crowd? Get over the puritanical nonsense, America!

I don't think charters are for rich students, in fact in New York most charter students are low-income. I know alot of teachers, a few teach in charters. My problem is with the concept of charter schools. The taxpayers fund them, the Corp. that runs the charter turns a profit, if they are successful. I realize some…

My problem with charter schools is using public funds to generate private profits. That goes for anything similar government might engage in.
