You are right, except that it’s really bad timing. If Hillary won, the show would make sense for the reasons you mentioned. But with the extreme right taking power, learning why they are the way they are is more than what people can—or want to—handle at the moment. KKK is no longer a fringe group of crazies, they are

A student can get expelled for a having joint. Without a conviction or even a formal charge. Not many people seem aware of this, but the Constitution—including things like presumption of innocence or right for a fair trial—does not apply within universities, not even the public ones. They make their own rules and

If the media ignored him, we’d be angry that they weren’t exposing the evil thongs he said and did. Remember how everyone cheered that “now he’s definitely not going to win” when he made fun of the disabled reporter, or insulted the parents of a dead soldier, or said that women should find another job when harassed?

It’s more likely to have cash than any other store, because people may want to avoid having that purchase showing up on their bank and card statements. Not that there’s anything wrong with buying sex toys.

Yeah, it does. Supporting Nazis makes you a Nazi. Supporting racism makes you a racist. It’s not “political correctness,” it’s logic. Reality is not an opinion, whatever you may have heard.

Reminds me of that show Russia used to have, where the contestants would steal a car and get chased by the real-life police. If they could avoid getting caught for a certain amount of time, they’d keep the car. If not, they’d go to prison for 7 years. Wild capitalism is wild.  

What do we have to lose? If it doesn’t work, the result will be no worse than doing nothing. Besides, if this election has proved anything, it’s that nothing what worked and didn’t work before apples any longer? Had an accused child rapist ever been elected President?  

Frankly abortion and guns should never even be connected issues. There are quite a few pro-gun liberals and pro-gun feminists. You know why? Because you can’t protect yourself from violence and your rights from conservatives with “peace and love” slogans. It’s not flowers and drum circles that are guarding abortion

Just so you know, there’s absolutely nothing American (or North American, or even “first-world”) about Christmas presents. People living in the cardboard slums of the poorest developing countries—without running water or any kind of plumbing, indoor or outdoor—buy their children presents. It’s been done since before

Exactly. We risk something whenever we go outside the path of least resistance. If people always knew how It’s gonna end, no one would have the courage to do anything.

Lol are you serious? “Why didn’t they just move?” If you can’t imagine having to choose between living in a death trap and being homeless, you are more privileged than you realize.

The owners—or the guy that had run the place—might be the easiest scapegoats, but it’s not that simple. I don’t know who owns the building, but if they brought it up to code (assuming that was even possible) it would be commercial rental property way out of reach of the Ghost Ship residents.

A city inspector couldn’t have missed the clutter space that would have (and did) make getting out of the building difficult in case of a fire. That’s why they’d never let the city inspectors in. The problem is, if they had, the people living there would have ended up homeless. If I had to choose between risking a

It would make more sense to convince them to take the other half with them. Being an immigrant gotta suck on any planet. But that other half could count that as the Rapture and consider themselves the “chosen ones .“

As opposed to illegal aliens?

The simplest way to explain it is: people in Russia see all forms of art (or pop culture, there’s no difference between the two there) the same way as Americans see movies. If you can have a movie about Holocaust, you can have an ice show about it—it’s all art, and all of it can have the same emotional impact. There’s

Uhh... My best guess is, they see it as an artistic inquiry into the issues of life and death. One thing I am willing to bet on: they have no idea why anyone is upset.

The “gray” isn’t likely to look gray to a lot of people because it isn’t. The hexadecimal number #31404A shows the amount of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) that make up the color on the computer screen. (A is hexadecimal 11, but all that matters is that 4A is more than 40 or 31).

It is interesting that none of the non-Russian hackers, including the Anonymous and the rest of the “hacktivists” made a bit of an effort to bring down Trump. Not that it’s a great mystery why. With all of their left-wing beliefs, most hackers are men who like women in power even  less than corporation.  IT is

It is different because it could make the world a better place. Unlike having another member of Trump’s party as a governor to help finish this country off. It’s not about the principle but about the consequences. Just like “White lives matter” is completely different from “Black lives matter” even if both use the
