Honestly, I find that some of the most bigoted and hypocritical Christians tend to be 'newer' ones that were hellions earlier in life. I think that once they've latched onto Christianity they feel like they have to make up for lost time or something by being extreme in all they're views.

If you are asking why someone would do coke, you have never done coke.

Nah, that’s only because there is a lot more stigma for men to be bi than for women, so the scale gets skewed. There’s no definitive proof that there’s any difference in distribution for men and women, and, logically, there probably isn’t.

I started going grey when I was 18!! I'm 32 now. I've contemplated just going for it and dying my whole head silver and be done with it.

In my country we don’t even have engagement rings, thank God. But I married an American in the U.S. and at the beginning I did not want a ring as asked him not to give me one but then he was under so much pressure I accepted one for his sake. It’s insane here in the U.S. I find it hard how society enforces these silly…

It legit scares me in these true crime type posts, how many otherwise open-minded people come out of the woodwork proclaiming absolute unshakable certainty in something they can’t possibly have certain knowledge of.

Yeah, I can’t take anybody seriously who’s floating the theory that Koenig was “in love” with Adnan. It’s a) sexist as fuck, b) ignores the fact that she says, multiple times, that she thinks it’s entirely possible that he did it, so even if she does privately believe he’s innocent it’s not like she’s pushing that…

“That sort of shoddy journalism”: Can you be more specific? Because I spent 13 years as a journalist, and although Serial had some unconventional aspects, I would describe it as generally meeting professional standards. Many attempts were made to get all sides of the story, and where people wouldn’t talk, alternate…

Serial was not really about whether Adnan did it. It was about the trial and the system.

Jews killed a lot of people on the USS Liberty. And I say this as a Jew. No religion on this planet is without blood on its hands.

If we tried the same, the Republican Party would all vanish behind bars.

I wish everyone supporting this crap would just be honest and re-title these“Speak White” laws. Maybe if the racist intent is that transparent, we can shame the (32! omfg, I didn’t realize it was that many) states that have them into getting rid of them. Or maybe not, because we seem to be pretty immune to shame.

Since the Amish are bilingual, they wouldn’t be LEP students, though. In terms of languages spoken after English, apparently it’s Spanish, Italian then German in PA.

Probably because it’s not about language. :(

Even if your numbers were true, that is still better result than any other genocide out there. In fact there are probably more people put on trial for the Holocaust than every other genocide combined.

Shit happens and sometimes, it happens to you.

Because they were Nazi’s and we aren’t now, so we are capable of using rationale thought and compassion instead of just killing things because we don’t like them.

If only the world prosecuted the people responsible for other war crimes/crimes against humanity with even a minuscule fraction of effort that has been put into punishing Nazis.
