I hope you are sitting down, because I have some SHOCKING information, and there is no way ANYONE would believe it.

I went to high school in my home country of Canada, and it was a public school 15 minutes away from a catholic high school. My high school was sponsored by Durex condoms, and the nurse at the school had a…

Direct cash payments to the poor are—by far—the most effective method of fighting endemic poverty. Not only do they build on local systems of knowledge, but moreover they are far more cost efficient and much easier to manage. All with added benefit of stripping out the disdainful paternalism to permeates so many other…

“She’s well aware of his cheating, but she doesn’t believe that her husband is a rapist.”

Is she fucking the father? That's the only theory I can come up with for why this vile moron seems more concerned about the father getting what he wants instead of what's best for the kids. Judges like her are evil. That sounds hyperbolic but until you've dealt with a judge or a police officer or any person with…

It’s called privilege and this delusion that their wealth is not evident in every way to other people.

I’m basing my support for them on the fact that he says they could have called him. Therein lies the hallmark of every narcissist father. If you’re the parent, you’re the one who picks up the phone, you’re the one who visits, you’re the one who is there.

When I married, my wife took my last name and I took her last name. The idea is that nobody is leaving their family name behind, we’re becoming a whole united family. So our names are now: our original first name, our separate original middle names, and after that, last name of my wife, my last name. You know what? It…

“Good! Don’t take his name. By the 3rd or 4th wedding it’s just a hassle.”

I also do not see a memorial in Texas to the fallen Mexican soldiers that were trying to keep Texas as part of Mexico ;)

The shooter was 21 years old. As much fun as it is to say all the racist/sexist/homophobic etc etc problems in our society can be solved by simply waiting for all our Olds to die off, these mentalities are very much alive and well in people our age and younger, as this man demonstrates.

This problem can’t be solved by…

With white people bending over backwards to make excuses for a dude that literally said he killed black people because he was a racist, we have a looong way to go.

Meh. I don’t trust her. She talks a good game, but I doubt she’s actually going to do anything revolutionary to reduce racism. Gun control alone isn’t enough, particularly since zero tolerance gun control often hurts black and Hispanic people who get caught up in gangs (e.g. young kids who are forced to carry guns out…

I think parts of Dylann’s manifesto made the coded racism practiced by so many white Republicans (and white Democrats, for that matter) explicit. He’s right about how white people subconsciously have lower expectations for black people, and how things like white flight to the suburbs and the Trayvon Martin shooting…

I’m no fan of Democrats but Republicans are nothing more than a party of white nationalism. All this other talk about limited government and individual liberty is utter bullshit.

I look at it like a group of people who just know what language to use to con people. If your audience is old white people who lived in a time of racism and ruefully watched as civil rights happened during their lifetime, you’re going to create an alternate reality where it stopped existing and that group no longer…

All these republican politicians know exactly why Dylann did what he did because they agree with him. They think the American people are dumb (and to some extent it’s true) so instead of acknowledging the real problem, they’re gaslighting us.

The fucking person who clung to racist identity politics in 2008 has the audacity to lament racism? The person who used the fear of a black guy in the white house for political expediency has the fucking nerve to pipe up about the shootings. The person who started the whole birther movement wants to talk about race?…
