God, I hope you are trolling us... I’m happy for you if you’ve never been the victim of racism, but your experience doesn’t at all invalidate the experiences of others. I’d go further and state that if you hold the widely reported incidents you mentioned as being fully representitive of police interactions with people…

“Common knowledge” might suggest to some that a large number of people from a wide spectrum of demographics share that knowledge. That is not the case here. Vice is not nearly as popular a news source as they’d lead us to believe. Nor can it be expected that this story was widely vowed by those who are aware of Vice…

Thanks for that. God I hope these lawsuits are successful. I genuinely angers me that all of these sort of things are ignored by the media. It’s this that emboldens the trolls who continually post bullshit like “blacks don’t care about killings unless cops are implicated”. Those of us who have ever spent any time in…

Source, please? This is plausable, but I’ll need reasonably verifiable proof to really believe it. If it is true htf are those shops allowed to stay open? If I recall correctly NYC contemplated lawsuits against states where many handguns used in NYC crime were purchased. Isn’t that an option available to the city,…

Men SHOULDN’T always pay on dates, but that’s a seperate thing... I know equal pay for women is still an issue, but can someone give a plausible reason why? Simply misogyny doesn’t seem to explain it...

“poisoning” a child is usually something MRAs whine about because they can’t be fucked to actually parent...”

“But I guess things like that wouldn’t bother you, because it’s all about you and your needs.”

Thanks!

I appreciate your perspective. You are absolutely correct, of course. I’m trying to do better, but part of it is that it took me a long time to get where I am in life. My parents couldn’t do a lot to make things easier for me once I left their home and I feel guilty when I consider leaving my kids to struggle the same…

Sorry, I don’t agree at all. Kids that young aren’t the best judges of what the should or shouldn’t do or how those decisions will effect them in the future. They also don’t understand basic things like how difficult it is to balance work demands and planning for the future ,and basic life responsibilities and…

The court’s myopic view of this is staggering. Aside from the fact that the allegations are easily proven, we have empirical evidence that rapists tend to repeat their crime. We ALSO have evidence, possibly more than just heresay, that he has done this before AND evidence that he delusionally believes this is is no…

I am conflicted as hell about the possibility of ending statutes of limitation on rape. On the one hand there are countless legit reasons why a victim may not report a rape for years or decades. Should those legit reasons remove the possibility of her rapist being brought to justice? On the other hand it is Damned…

I believe it was this site which introduced me to one of my favorite artists, Audra Day. I’m liking Blood Orange too. Good lookin out Aimee!

DAMN... but I bet I’ve got you beat... A8 or A10 I forget which, in central Germany. Driving towards Frankfurt or Hanau (forget which) from Friedburg (the one in Hessen) at around 11 pm, my black 7 or so year old black Fiat Uno chose to die and apparently wanted to take me with it. On this stretch of autobahn there is…

According to the post, the question asked was “the obstacles that once made it harder for women than men to get ahead are now largely gone,” presumably ‘true or false’followed. I won’t argue that there is a perception issue around this, but this survey skews how big it is by the phrasing of the question. I know that…

Didn’t she fire the guy? I understand that it would be great if she totally walked the walk and talked the talk, but it seems to me that she was trying to avoid saying something that could provide ammunition to the guy for a wrongful termination suit. That doesn’t make her a bad person, since she did take swift action…

Somewhere in South Central L.A...an MC named Eight is laughing his ass off. JEAH, INDEED....

Given the fact that we all know Diaz smokes weed, and the fact that many people refer to tests for weed as intelligence tests, I’d guess odds are 50/50 whether or not he actually failed the 2nd test. The thing is that they should have to prove that he was smoking and that discredited lab doesn’t help them do that. As…

I can believe that it’s relaxing effects could be of benefit in some sports, assuming one can perfectly dial in their usage. I can’t imagine a sport where someone is actively attempting to violently remove you from your senses is one of those sports. Unless someone suffers from crippling anxiety, and the weed use…

Wow... it’s been decades, but still too soon for this joke....*
