Live look at his election victory speech

are people not allowed to educate themselves on topics that they’re passionate about? i’m very passionate about reproductive rights and the pro-choice movement, and i can list off a whole bunch of statistics about them for you, but i’ve never been pregnant nor have i ever had an abortion. is it a new law that you HAVE…

This may shock you, but some people are interested in causes that do not directly affect them or their loved ones. I don’t know what the fuck you mean by “the point was not to know the statistics beforehand,” but weirdly enough, someone might have looked up those stats just because they were interested, not because…

Seems like she had a tragic life. The wiki article about the murder mentions that she was forced to watch her father rape her mother as a child, that her mother tried to kill her, and that she’d been to ten schools by 15. Horrifically sad.

What a tragic life. No life at all, really. Childhood, prison, suicide. Very sad for that to be the sum of a human’s experience on this earth.

Paging all the “just a young teen”/”Jesus forgives” crowd. Nobody? No?

A lot of the answer is right there in your second sentence.

I suspect it may have had more to do with the difficulties of being a disenfranchised felon in a society that makes it pretty hard to perform reformation — on top of being incarcerated since childhood.

I will never understand how anyone can support the death penalty, In the US there have been so many studies shown that black people are more likely to face death penalty than white people and that the murderers of white victims were 4.3 times more likely to be sentenced to death than those who killed black victims.…

Bill Pelke is someone we should all aspire to be. And I say that without googling him or checking his organization’s stats, so I hope I’m not proven wrong.

They’re all backstage at AfroPunk fest Paris. They're probably tired from doing shows.

Yes. That’s is indeed the Smith kids.

I want to pitch my idea for a reality show: get a bunch of poor people and have them battle lions in a kind of coliseum situation. They don’t have a lot to lose, and it would make GREAT entertainment.

Can’t believe Tabitha Soren, Kurt Loder, Matt Pinfield, and Jesse Camp all said no.
