Yeah. I think a lot of people have noted that the next terrorist attack (you know, the next one that’s perpetrated by—or can be pinned on—brown people, and not the kind of terrorism where a white man in Kansas tells Indian men to “get out of my country” and then murders them) could be Trump’s Reichstag fire. And that…

While I don’t at all disagree - and 100% agree this man is a hero - I want to also make sure we focus on those women serving our country who put their bodies on the line to defend us all, and yet find those same bodies sexually violated by their peers for cheap thrills. Those women, and all women, deserve better.

“Brennan tells the Marine Corps Times that there’s a ‘bounty on pictures of my daughter...It has been suggested that my wife should be raped as a result of this, and people are openly suggesting that I should be killed...Can you imagine being one of the victims?’”

And your instincts were right, he and his family are being threatened.

she lowkey sucks

Emma Watson on Beyonce’s tits in 2014:

When someone brings up PC-culture as a refutation, it’s always the final square of Asshole Bingo. His refutation points more to the fact that he’s totes okay with Affleck because he doesn’t see anything wrong with behaving like Affleck, than to whatever point he was trying to make (we’re all so mean? I dunno).

So his argument boils down to, “Don’t take the word of a woman unless there’s hard evidence backing it and it leads to a conviction—if there’s any doubt at all, the man is always right.”

PC-fueled sense of indignation

Not war, but colonialism. Honestly, as an Irishwoman, I hold the British responsible for most of this. In the decades post-independence (really until the 1990's ) most Irish people were living in poverty to one degree or another. There was no economy. And the Catholic Church, being an utterly evil institution, preyed…

The last of these homes closed in the 90's - that wasn’t long ago. And this is one is only the latest to be found to have the remains of babies and children buried on site. I saw a documentary about this a while ago (it was so horrible I couldn’t even finish it it). From what I remember, the children born to unwed…

Shit like this is why I get pretty mad at people praising the “good pope”. Ain’t no such thing as a “good” pope. I’ve met plenty of good Catholics who were good people, but they’re good people despite it, not because of it. The church needs an overhaul for the 21st century. They only stopped doing stuff like this…

Also divorce. Which was legalised in 1995.

It’s well past time all nations around the World start raising up to their claims about being “civilized” and treating religious entities - any of them, not only the Catholic Church - as any other instituition, without privileges or special treatment. Imagine any other instituition other than one related to the church…

But please remember that abortion is the true sin.

Look, I love Friar James, I think he is an truly good person and an exemplary Christian. And to be clear, I have never seen him say that he thinks abortion should be made illegal, although I have seen him express support for the “March for Life” and similar organizations.

GWB is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Trump presidency. Even lefties are giving this guy props just because he’s not as vulgar as Trump. This Iraq invasion Patriot Act motherfucker is still a motherfucker even if Trump is the anti-Christ.

Right I get that, but for all intents and purposes you could call almost any other religion a cult under certain lenses.

Yes thank you, but people who adhere to it and officially it is a religion. MOST religions could be categorized as cults.

meh. all religions are cults. some are just really big cults and don’t have as much control over their followers.
