Yes, I complain about movies that glorify violence no matter who directs them, be it Quentin Tarantino, Kathryn Bigelow or Sam Peckinpah. Because violence shouldn’t be glorified.

Yes.

I know nothing about K’naan, so I hope from what you and others are saying, it’s a lot more him than her. The “draw open an iron curtain behind which they will see the highly impenetrable world of Jihadi recruitment” thing just sounds like more Zero Dark Thirty bullshit to me.

She didn’t just portray it, she justified it. She showed it working, which it doesn’t.

Dude, Adams called Curry and Thompson monkeys. I don’t care if you’re from New Zealand or New Wherever ;-) Seriously if you watch the video of him saying that comment there is a hesitation like he knows what he’s about to say and then still says it. So, part of me thinks it might have been retaliation for that. Who…

India, Pakistan, England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Indonesia, Skri Lanka, Bangladesh and Kenya are all countries that come to mind when I think of Cricket. That’s without Google-searching. Additionally, I’m sure some other countries with large populations like the U.S. or China could…

Gotta wonder how many fringe sports that only rich/upper middle class white bro’s in Europe and Usa play will they add before they consider a sport that is the number 1 sport in a country(India) with 1 billion people(cricket).

A woman is roughly 10 times more likely to die during childbirth than she is to be murdered, by anyone, for any reason. This number does not include deaths related to pregnancy complications during the course of the pregnancy.

If society collapsed I am pretty sure this is what I would miss the most.

It never ceases to amaze me how bad the American system for funding schools is. “Let’s base funding on how wealthy the district is. There’s no way that’ll hurt kids from less wealthy areas!”

So let me get this straight. A 15 year old cannot consent to sex because they don’t have the maturity to be able to do so. HOWEVER, a 16 year old, who, for all we know, could be mere days older than the 15 year old should be locked up, branded a sex offender, and have his life ruined for having sex with a 15 year old?

Agreed. That isn’t to say I think it should be the focus, but when a man is complaining about being overly objectified (which is what he’s actually complaining about here), there isn’t a need to be so dismissive. Furthermore, I think it actually harms Feminism to be this way, because I believe that snarky articles…

I think that the only reason to devalue what he said is if he was using it to distract or derail from a discussion about the sexism women face. How are we supposed to gain allies in our fight if, when they do want to talk about how the same system of oppression affects them, we chide them for not talking more about…

That’s... What? Women have, and frequently exercise, that option. Of all the things women are denied in society, the right to stop acting because they’re being objectified is not one of them. Of course, nobody should have to stop acting for this reason, but the option exists, equally, for all parties concerned.

Nevermind. Gavin McInnes was the Taki interviewer. Talk about a melting pot of irredeemably awful shitheadedness, racist paranoia, and beards.

While it’s stupid to deify Gaben and Valve, they are really not the same as EA and Activision. Like, not releasing the sequel of a very popular game that WILL generate massive profits is the opposite of what EA and Activision would do. If Valve was the same type of company, then we would be waiting for Half-Life 13,…

Three-Eyed Raven is a dick, not Bran.

It’s actually not Bran’s fault: That’s the thing. He just happened to be there.

What I got from the scene was in that exact moment young Hodor was experiencing everything from that moment and time... and old Hodor knew it. That’s why Hodor was freaking out well before things started happening. He knew it was how he…

Dickery implies the ends were the intent. Bran may have fucked up bigtime, but he is not a dick.

Obviously liberals don’t care for militant leftists. And, obviously, liberals and leftists are “other” to each other. For example, you with your “fuck this woman.” So, yeah, fuck liberals.
