Maybe when we have one of those really rough slightly late periods that makes you wonder “is this a miscarriage” we should just start packing the “remains” up and sending them to law makers in Texas. Let them figure out what to do with it. Wouldn’t want all that medical waste going into the sewer system now would we.

But the fucking irony is it’s Clints generation that raised kids that started the whole “pussification”. It’s your fuckin’ kids! Did the kids raise themselves? No, you did! This is what drives me nuts about the olds (boomers and older) complaining about “everyone gets a trophy” culture. Who handed out the trophies? It…

Old people still live in the modern world. Old people, especially rich, white old people, still affect people in the modern world. There are old people who lived in the old world who either felt the effects of racism or who didn’t but knew it was wrong.

That’s not necessarily true. I honestly think many white people of Clint’s generation firmly believed many of the racist/ignorant things they felt and said weren’t racist. If you live in an echo chamber, with few POC, and the racist things you feel and say are considered socially acceptable by other white people you…

it’s always interesting when the black/poc friend,lover,etc is brought up to contest a white person’s racist ideology. men who hate women have sex ,befriend,and marry women all the time. certainly,donald trump’s misogyny isn’t negated by his wife’s gender...

You can be married to a black woman and still be a racist. It happens a lot. Viewing an entire racial or ethnic group as inherently inferior while simultaneously viewing them as sexualized fetish objects is a basic component of racism. Just ask Thomas Jefferson.

I’d almost have more respect for the racist crowd if they’d just own the fact that they’re racist. Instead, they want to “pussy” out, to channel Clint, and pretend that what they’re doing and saying isn’t wrong.

“I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them. I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park,” Trump said in a 2005 interview with Howard Stern. “Marla used to say, ‘I can’t believe you’re not walking Tiffany down the street,’ you know in a…

I’m surprised because, for one shining moment, he didn’t have the smallest hands in the room.

But you can have a violent, over-the-top action movie with a cast of sadistic characters where the narrative isn’t sexist (female characters are written as fully-rounded characters, the evilness isn’t predicated on sexist tropes), and where the plot is engaging and the jokes are funny? Nothing about “violent criminals…

Because retribution is not one of the articulated purposes of government. It is not, “We the People, in order to form a more perfect union, establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility . . . And make sure that racist scumbag gets what’s coming to him.”

This is one of the things I do not understand about death penalty cases. We faced this is Boston recently, and I was astonished to find that the jury voted to subject the remaining Tsarnaev brother to the death penalty, over the objections of most of the surviving family members. It’s baffling.

None of those alleged safeguards can guarantee that we will not execute another innocent person. Nor will they do anything to alleviate the unequal impact of the death penalty on minorities and the poor. This is why Justice Blackmun late in his career wrote, “I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death.”

Or better yet, let’s not do it. Let us no longer tinker with the machinery of death and instead live in a country that does not intentionally kill its own citizens.

There is plenty of autism in families “with no previous history of the illness.” This is known, and it is also known that autism presents itself in a spectrum, the S in ASD. So there is the very real possibility (if you use Occam’s Razor) that there was ASD in the family but it went unrecognized. Changes in diagnostic…

She’s not wrong, but one of the reasons Americans don’t trust the government on vaccines is because they constantly hear that Big Pharma controls US vaccine policy, which is a blatant lie that Dr. Jill Stein is repeating. She is dog-whistling anti-vaxxers and for her to claim otherwise is laughable.

She fixed the wording to allow herself to continue equivocating. She’s courting the anti-vax crowd.

If it was indeed “almost identical,” your reaction sure seems a touch hypersensitive.

Those asshole doctors of the early ‘70 can go fuck themselves. I am the result of a doctor insisting to my mother that there was NO WAY she could get pregnant within a year of stopping birth control pills, so if she wanted a baby in 1973, she should stop taking them in 1971. After a few months, she started feeling…

Well, no.
