Coop, get an iPad.

It's not all or nothing. An open relationship isn't the same of a pattern of deceit.

So many greats here, but I have to give a special shout out to Zardoz for it's supreme WTF-ness.

Nor should it, and I don't mean to attempt to squash your idealism - it's something that is vital to the health of our country. If we were all cynics this world would be a terrible place. I just think it can be more nuanced that we may want to believe. But I think we actually do agree for the most part.

Well I think that might be the difference between us. I do not see things quite so black-and-white. I believe that people can find ways to justify things that may be inherently racist, but not always for racist reasons. One can be simply misguided or sheltered without intending to be racist.

Anyone with half a brain can understand my very basic answer to you, so I'm not surprised that you think I make no sense considering the braindead tripe you've been spewing. And you are obviously not so bored that you can't stop responding to what you consider 'ranting'. Nice try in attempting to sound 'above it…

Well I certainly hesitate to use someone's voting record alone to conclude that they must be racist, especially if the argument could be made that they are just toe-ing the party line. The argument can be made based on the bills, I suppose, but I have no doubt that some of these people at least believed they were…

Moving on because you can't argue my points, I imagine. Also: being black doesn't mean you can't be fucking ignorant, and if you really are black you should be ashamed of the tired stereotypes you are tossing around.

Well if leveled reasoning hasn't worked thus far, I'm curious to see how you believe this can succeed where dialogue has failed. I'm not in favor of taking this country any further down the rhetorical crapper than we are already, nor am I in favor of making gross assumptions based on region and political party, even…

Well here's the thing: making the point itself that many of those who consider themselves "pro-life" may be hypocritical in their own personal lives is necessary. However, it lies in how you do it. Throwing out wild accusations doesn't endear you to anyone, especially when you put some other lady on the spot, which…

Do you actually know any black people? (Doubtful.) Because they will tell you that the people you are likely talking about - the Jacksons and Sharptons - do not represent them any more than Rush Limbaugh represents all white people. Black people aren't one autonomous unit for you to take out your racial aggression…

And thus begins today's lesson in "What's wrong with all black people according to some random person".

Yeah, maybe because that last point serves no purpose in the discussion except to rile people up and throw blame at black people when it isn't needed?

Or just makes you feel holier-than-thou, which seems more likely.

Not surprised some genius with so many better things to do apparently came here only to bitch about "liberal hate speech" on a site no one forces them to read.

Oh yes, from Philly. One of her brothers actually went to my school. I read an article about her from a few years back that said she spent years toning down her Philly accent - she would practice holding her nose and speaking so she could learn to stop speaking nasally. The result of all her practice was that it…

So happy to see Tim Roth, but I doubt I'll be able to watch this and actually believe Kidman as Grace Kelly. I feel like a really great actor may pull it off a la Frank Langella in Frost/Nixon, but I feel like here I'd just be watching Nicole Kidman in pretty clothes playing princess.

I'm sure I'll be in the minority with this attitude, but (right as he may be) this doesn't help. What we need is more honest discussion about abortion, not accusations. That sort of talk doesn't change minds any more than it does when Republicans talk out of their ass on the subject.

Maybe because the problem you're describing isn't about abortion itself, but about disproportionate rates of poverty amongst black women, a lack of access to education, healthcare and birth control, and few resources once you do give birth - all things that "urban black leadership" address repeatedly. But I'm sure…

That's it. I'm done. Best comment ever.
