Or they date co-workers just like everyone else. Or they run in the same circles and meet the same people. Or they like to date people they have things in common with...

In fairness, it’s sort of like that David Frum quote, except not only did the Republicans reject democracy, they rejected conservatism. ...and ideologies more broadly. ...and objective reality. ...and, at least arguably, winning.

If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.”
― David Frum

in other nations you can’t be an “inactive” voter unless you died, jfc.  it’s not a driver’s license that expires! i hate this for you.

Pence should have had several invasive prostate exams and a year long waiting period before being allowed to his abort his campaign. Who does he think he is?!

There were plenty of vile, despicable people in the Trump administration but for whatever reason I hated Pence the most, second only to Trump himself. Just the blandness of him, his “This is my serious face” face, the fact that he’d lie at the drop of a hat like his boss and never suffer consequences for it (like his…

Also likely to be hidden in the greys but here it is. (Content warning: harm to children.)

Just as I have little faith Israel would back off if the hostages were all released, I also have little faith that Hamas would be satisfied with the right of return.  There has been too much blood shed for too long.

You can’t evolve if you don’t face, reconcile, and learn from the past.  That’s what the author was stating.

We agree. I was making basically the same point you are making, just ironically. I don’t actually think these poor premature children whose parents were kids in 2006 are to blame for Hamas’s actions. 

If the reviews are accurate (as I have zero plans to read this book), it sounds like Britney consistently describes herself as having been clueless and made bad choices, so I don’t know that Mother Theresa is the look she’s going for and certainly not what I’m hearing. The fact that she’s been borderline imprisoned…

She worked with author/journalist Sam Lansky. As a fellow co-author of memoirs, thank you for noting his obvious skill and input in helping Britney tell her moving story.

This is a great point. These premature infants should not have taken those hostages, and even though I’m generally against the death penalty, these premature newborns committed a war crime when, as premature newly born children who can’t walk, talk, think, or do anything except be a passive recipient of life saving…

Half of Palestinians are under 18, and like 65% are under 25. None of them were voting in 2006 anyway.

I’m really appalled with how many of my Jewish friends on social media were sharing, unironically, the type of arguments historically made to dehumanize Jews.

How do you expect Palestinians to vote when the opposition party was exterminated and there has not been an election since 2006? These people are just as much victims of Hamas as the Israelis are. And you can thank Putin for his support of that, not just Iran.

See, this is why it’s important to listen to Israeli officials when they point out they are fighting “human animals” and say there are no innocent civilians in Gaza. Sorry premature newborn, you want to not suffer and die? Oh well, I guess you should have thought of that when you voted for Hamas. Sure, they were only…

Justin doesn’t want to “bring up the past?” He did exactly that for 16 years after his split from Britney, painting her as some evil, villainous slut and himself as some wholesome, good guy, woke musician with a big heart. I’m so glad he wants to stop now that he’s looking bad.

This is gonna get buried in the greys since I’m submitting it at the end of the month but I’ve been reading and loving these collections each year for a while and am finally putting in my story because 20 years later I still don’t know what to make of it - but it’s the absolute truth.

Not sure if I’m submitting too late, but I just stumbled upon this contest, and I have a story to share that has stayed with me since childhood.
