It is a pretty big date in American history:
The US invasion of Honduras, breaking ground for the Pentagon, the first advance of US soldiers across the border of Germany in WWII, Truman's approval to invade N Korea, the landfall of several major hurricanes, a Croatian Nationalist bomb plot in Grand Central, and of…

Even if it isn't, we usually establish a thread to talk about it, it is usually just tougher to find. But I agree, this is a good place to talk when horrible stuff like this happens.

I think you inadvertently hit the nail on the head. Germany doesn't have birthright citizenship for the children of some immigrant groups, which, when Trump proposed that same idea a few months a go for hispanic immigrants to the US, was rightfully dismissed as racist. Germany has only been so generous because it…

Germany is letting a lot of refuges in, but that doesn't mean people there are less xenophobic than anywhere else in Europe (or the planet). There are 3rd-generation Turks in Germany who still can't vote. The US should let more refugees in, but it is more difficult logistically, because Syrian refugees aren't just…

Hey! The Vending Machine of Justice ate my dollar!

Every silver lining has a cloud :(

Jesus Christ. I'm a sucker for smoldering craters, so I headed over for a second. This is the first of over 26,000 comments:

I just need a cabin in the woods with a stream, and like 20 other people. I don't want to deal with the rest of the world.

And that may prove to be one of the biggest tragedies of this attack. In France, a lot of people are probably going to try to blame this shit on the refugees.

I've been meaning to check that out. I've heard good things/

I guess now it's just
"You can't Hoff the Hoff."

You are projecting a lot onto this song that is simply not in the lyrics. "She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts" on its own is not a criticism by any definition of the word. If you look at that line in context, it becomes clear that Taylor isn't saying "She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts, so I am better for…

Derhütgendaßenschleißnegatten!

I have a complicated face.

Where's your research!?!

I am so sorry that you had to live in Phoenix.

I've heard people say things like that, but I've never thought about this song as coming from that angle. Alas, I too am a dude.

Judging by her yearbook pictures that I just googled because of this conversation and not for any other reason, it is conceivable that she was bullied in high school.

I actually thinks it is about halfway between those two. Probably mostly a stupid pop song, but not really meant to show how spunky, rich, and blonde she is. In fact I'm not sure where you got that.
