Brent Peltomaa valued that cat more than he valued his life.
Michael Campbell valued punishing a thief more than he valued his freedom.
They were all in love with dying. They were drinking from a fountain
that was pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain.

Idealistic, can’t even do this with guns...

LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.

I feel sorry for these people, but at the end of the day, there IS a choice. Move. I grew up in that part of the world and as soon as I was in high school I knew there were few if any opportunities. I moved to the other side of the country and it was by far a much better choice other than trying to tie myself to a…

“Watch the ring video, there are quite a few kids with no supervision, almost all of them white. I wonder if the guy was worried most about the far larger white kid. Not that he should have shot at all, but I don’t think the parents of these kids should let them play outside on this street.”

Bullshit. Bonds are also put in place when and individual is a danger to him or herself or a danger to society. Discharging a firearm in public is a danger to the community. Shooting at a child makes you a danger to the community.

Wait... Osaka was fined for skipping the press event and then she dropped out, which she was not fined for.Federer dropped out but never skipped media events, So he wasn’t fined. If she had dropped out before skipping the press, she wouldn’t have been fined either, I assume.

I’m deeply confused by this comparison as there was no fine levied on Osaka for withdrawing from the tournament. In addition there have been multiple players who have withdrawn from these tournaments over the years, often due to injuries, without criticism from the heads of the organizations. The criticism and the…

Let me guess, he thinks three-fifths of $15 is a more appropriate wage.

Maybe I’m too old to understand why a 20 year old has to apologize to the world for disconnecting from a video game. People take this stuff so seriously.

Politics is power. If being humane causes you to lose that power, then you haven’t really done the humane thing now have you? I mean, you’ve tried I suppose, but to the people who are on the receiving end of policy, principals don’t count for anything unless they can be put into practice. And that requires political…

I’m assuming the author of the article has been to the border and believes it is perfectly equipped to handle both current migrants seeking asylum and those that want to head there. Otherwise I would refrain from using the term “cruel” to address VP’s pleas. Cruel is what is happening right now at the border. Cruel is…

Healthcare is to Republicans as immigration is to Democrats.

It’s not cruel to tell people the truth.

Augusta National, the golf club whose most famous event is the Masters, was an all-white club more recently (1990) than this organization was (1979). I don’t see a lot of angst or demands for apologies from Master’s winners (including Tiger Woods, who won the Masters the same year Kemper attended this debutante ball).…

Now, almost a full week later, Kemper has finally decided to respond to the controversy by posting a statement on Instagram in which she distances herself from “the organization” (she doesn’t name it) and says that she “was old enough” at the time to have learned about it before getting involved.

They got their 2000 comments on the story.  It was a success story. 

She shouldn’t have said boo, because she had nothing for which to apologize.

I love how the article tries to insinuate that it was terrible that she took a week to respond to this manufactured controversy. Y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
