68 percent of the U.S. population believes Ebola spreads "easily."

i am not the giantest fan of rev sharpton. i feel like there's always a HINT of selfishness/self-...something, in what he does. political motivation, something a little greasy.

Yeah, sure. So many women rubbing up on you on the bus. Sure. Of course you know this phenomenon is almost exclusively male, but carry on trolling.

It's bad enough that tax payer dollars give these guys money to take five week vacations, shut down the government and force people into unpaid furloughs and basically do nothing but whine. And now you tell me that my tax dollars are giving them money to troll Wikipedia, but somehow a single mother needing food…

To be clear, it was a Moses riding a dinosaur joke.

I'm not a fundamentalist Christian. My dinosaurs roamed the Earth 200 million years ago.

I'm middle class so I just eat smaller portions.

As someone who works at a law firm, let me assure you: rich-ass lady lawyers luuuuuuuuurve their diet pills.

The fact that they do those terrible things, and then even they (who have very low standards when it comes to civil liberties) are like "you know, United States, I think you're overreacting a little bit" is what makes it darkly funny to me.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't read your name when I posted originally. Good bye.

I didn't say he was a normal person. He was a criminal that tried to rob me and left my hand scarred up. And the point of my post was that I'm not a hand to hand specialist. Cops are. They didn't need to blow this guy away. There were three incidences last year where cops in the uk had to open fire and there's plenty…

If those "reports" hadn't been leaked by the very department that still refuses to release the police reports and didn't directly contradict eye-witness testimony from strangers to both men who literally live-tweeted Brown's death, I'd take them seriously.

I am Facebook friends with someone who is incredibly liberal, and until the release of the convenience store video, was at least questioning the police response, if not outright disgusted by it.

A little over six months ago I was riding my bike through one of dc's rougher areas and a man tried to rob me with a knife. I was unarmed. I grabbed the knife with my left hand and unloaded on him with the right. Robbery averted. I did end up needing stitches. The point is, I am not a cop. I don't walk around with a…

I grew up as a solidly middle class white girl in a suburban city in Northern California. I went to a private school. Not elite, but parochial - our education included Chick Tracts as required reading in science class. I had to take a Human Evolutionary Biology class in college to even understand what the theory of…

Ok, I'm white and I'll admit to never have seen police brutality in person. But I have seen plenty of videos of it happening. It seems obvious to me that race is a factor in a large percentage of cases, but I think the problem is being compounded by other forces as well. Police now do not respect anyone they might…

I'm from a rural area 100 miles from Ferguson, and my Facebook feed is 80% very concerned about the long hours that the police are putting in. The general tone is that this is over and we just need to move on. Luckily, there will probably be another police shooting soon to distract everyone.

Come the fuck on white people.

I am really sorry to interrupt your very valid point but could she be ANY cuter?

I've taken some solace that pretty much everyone in the world, from Palestine to Egypt to Iran to Russia to China, thinks this is fucked up except for white Americans.
