He didn’t rape a 13-year-old. It was statutory rape...he had sex with a minor. That’s not rape. To me, when you use the word rape, you’re talking about violent, throwing them down—it’s like one of the most violent crimes in the world. You can’t throw the word rape around. It’s like throwing the word ‘racist’ around.…

It’s a generalization that it’s some moral failing of people to dumb or ignorant to take care of themselves so you have to come in on your “underpaid white horse” and save their sorry selves. There are many facets to how people get to have these health issues. To put this out as if it is just people making poor…

apparently you are a doctor that has never heard of genetics or environment.

“ bet you didn’t know that most insurance companies pay docs at 50-60% of what they charge for the services that saved a patients life. Why dont you spend the rest of your life making 50 cents out of every dollar you’ve earned and show up to work with a smile on your face?”

Oh basically you are an employee? I mean there are thousands of people everyday who work in jobs of all types where the employee is compensated 50% or less of what the product or service costs.

I don’t dispute that hospital doctors today aren’t millionaires. They work very hard, often for less pay than I earn running the tech side of an app company. They also indisputably save lives under often intolerable conditions. An Internist friend regularly regales me with stories of how his hospital is constantly…

I achieved the highest level of education in my field and I can barely pay bills. $42,000 in one day??? FUCK ME I HATE LIFE.

A timely piece. Thanks for sharing your experience.

You know damn well she’s not going to run again. Your virulent hatred of her has blinded you to reality. Bernie, on the other hand, is probably going to run again; at the ancient age of 78 and be a spoiler yet again for all the other younger and more talent candidates.

Can we stop with the Clinton shit. She is no longer news. She is not the president. She is not actively destroying our country. She is a flawed person who has made a fair amount of stupid decisions in her life. She has also been attacked relentlessly for her mistakes. And also for everything else she has ever done. It…

Worshiping Jesus 24/7 must not be as interesting as it’s cracked up to be! Hard to believe.. but clearly most who do seem to get bored with it and divert their focus to zero-in on what all other women are doing with their bodies & sex lives. They should nix the Jesus front and re-brand their religious opinion…

Hating Gwenyth Paltrow is pretty rational, in my opinion.

I went to school with some Mormons, and a smattering of Young Life Christians, who always preached the religious and moral imperatives of chastity, while also being some of the biggest teases on the damn planet. I wasn’t surprised when I found out that many of these people either married as soon as they turned 18 or…

Oh, the true love waits thing was alive and kicking in the 90's, believe me. They tried to get me to take one of those pledges at my church when I was 12. Think about how fucked up that is, I had only just gotten my period for the first time. I responded that I didn’t want to make a promise to God that I thought I…

As someone who was a teen during this time and grew up with the aforementioned Evangelical Christian views being shove down my throat, thank you for this well put together piece.

If there’s one positive effect of Trump, it’s that a redux of this effort from the Christian right is going to be very difficult.

See, here’s the thing: it ain’t to get under their skin. I truly DO feel sorry for these people who labor under the false pretense of racial superiority in the face of a blatant economic disparity, stunted educational avenues, and pandemic level health issues commensurate with being “po’ white trash” and my heart…

A show the new roseanne would watch.

It’s a troll post. The edit is a dead giveaway.
