Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job....

Even if that’s true, you obviously can’t defend Trump’s executive order as rational policy on those grounds. I mean, what are Trump supporters suggesting here?

Manual transmission bros are like the Linux bros of the car world; they both like having to put more work into using their machine, they both consider this as having greater control over their machine, and neither will hesitate to lord it over everyone else with a smug sense of superiority.

Complaints about political correctness always, always boil down to 'Boo, I'm now expected to think about things before I say them! I have to consider the feelings and experiences of people who aren't me! I can't just stomp around saying and doing whatever I like any more, except actually I can, because there is literal…
