I think this lawyer Phillip Johnson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_E… might be the source of that tidy analogy you mentioned. I read, and for a time believed Johnson’s arguments when I was a young adult. He really is the architect of the Intelligent Design school of thought. But I am a Scientist and I gave up…

Victims of being brainwashed. Teenagers are vulnerable and easily susceptible to deceit.

This is really sad. I hope they are able to confirm either way for the sake of their families getting some closure. And before the asshole pile on starts, please everyone remember that teenagers are still SUPER IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN. They might like to think they know everything and make great choices, but, they…

Sometimes I want real Mexican, sometimes I want Chipotle. I don’t pretend there’s any crossover between the two.

Are there not any Unitarian Universalist congregations near you? Not as much pageantry as the Catholics but very involved in social justice and welcoming to all (even atheists). http://www.uua.org/

Worst of all? This was the text:

Kind of impressive when perps blame the justice system for splitting up families.

She’s a single mother because she’s divorcing your revolting, child-molesting ass, Jared. Even if you didn’t see a day behind bars.

In trial, Fogle reportedly sobbed as he recounted how he’d hurt his family and his wife, who would be a single mother should he go to prison.

You were a pedophile before the diet, you fucking idiot.

It can both be true that Caitlyn Jenner is not deserving of the Woman of the Year, and that this guy is an asshole for calling her a man.

Yeah, I’m a guy but I don’t see why these ads should be a problem. 50+% of people deal with periods over the course of their lives. It’s part of life. Everybody grow the fuck up.

It’s fine to tell your children that they are beautiful, but mean it in a way that has nothing to do with appearance. Don’t compliment your kids for things that they didn’t do anything to acquire. Don’t compliment their intelligence, compliment their persistence.

They aren’t even criminalizing white folks that take part in racist action, they’re enforcing laws against vandalism and threats of violence.

No, more like criminalizing white folks that take part in racist action and then holding complicit white folks accountable for those around them.

Rather than being upset at her, Trump supporters should be praising her and following her example. Maybe if more of them started reading, and learning about the issues being discussed in this campaign, they'd realize how wrongheaded the Donald's ideas are.

....the tree had been dead for two years, so a basic yearly landscape inspection would have prompted a pretty simple “let’s remove the swing attached to the tree that will instantly collapse and kill anyone who swings on it.”

SHOCKINGLY, amenities at hotels are inspected for safety- pools, gyms, saunas, ect. Most likely, had this been a hotel, safety standards would’ve meant that the swing wouldn’t have existed in the first place. I know, I know, logic is hard sometimes for the “any regulation is the death of everything because…

I explained North America to my European cousins like this: we are an apartment complex, America is that giant party that wont end even though the apartment is being wrecked and seems fun but when you get inside its only fun for a certain type of people. Mexico is directly below and is doing their own thing, and…

I have no idea. I’m just glad it happened. I’m a little misty-eyed reading this article—so many years of a xenophobic, anti-choice, homophobic, right wing fuckwad, I was starting to give up hope.
