I feel like, as a European, have been personally insulted by the decision to leave. Yes, the EU is not perfect, far from it it, but we were in it together, for Europe to stand united and move forward. That vote of uneducated, white and old is really bad for so many people...

I was laughing when some British politician on CNN was telling Christiane Amanpour that Britian had the 5th largest economy in the world so they will be just fine. He seemed very sure of himself and quite smug about it. Unfortunately for him, he’s going to get a very rude awakening when Britian starts losing jobs and…

Of course they will back down.

The shooter was apparently armed with a handgun and a powerful assault rifle. This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if…

I’m pretty sure the Bible says homosexuals should be executed as well. But few Bible believers will act on it and there are many gay Christians. I think all religions are problematic and have many terrible teachings. The biggest problem we have is that any disturbed individual can easily and legally get enough…

Islamophobia is not a helpful reaction to homophobia. A Christian person could have done this, and it would still be both a hate crime against the LGBTQ community and terrorism. People (that I’ve seen in the press, Facebook, in the comments section of other articles) have this idea that only Muslims can be terrorists.…

I’ve exhausted my will to type my feelings and opinions about all the fucked up things that lead up to and enabled this great tragedy to happen.

I doubt we’ll ever know but imo there’s a pretty good chance his “serious issue with homosexuality” was that he was a gay man who subscribed to a religion/ideology where that was unacceptable.

This has definitely hit us in the LGBT community hard, but we appreciate and need the love and support of our allies also. Nothing changes if our friends also don’t feel the sting of loss and grief from this. We’re all in this together, and your support an sorrow is appreciated and welcome here. We need all the love…

Thank you for identifying this as a hate crime. Most news sites seem to be glossing over that. It was a terrorist attack against specifically LGBT people. Then again, it’s not news that ISIS hates gay people. Going to go give my girlfriend a hug.

“[This] has nothing to do with religion,” he said.

I think she should tell the niece, but frame it more about “here’s what you need to know about guys who you consider safe because you know them.” I don’t know that the aunt needs to disclose the father’s identity, but the story’s important.

I can’t figure out what the LW wants to accomplish. Is she afraid for niece’s safety? Does she want the nirce to know her father is awful? I feel like if she’s not going to tell her sister, she shouldn’t tell her niece. Otherwise she’s putting the niece in a very awkward position.

2016 America: Where a 12-year old boy is shot and killed by the police for playing with a toy and it’s his fault because he should have “known” that people would see him as a threat, while a full-grown adult who rapes an unconscious woman and tries to flee should only have to endure a couple months of jail because…

Teachers and Administration aren’t just scared of being sued they outright have too much to focus on that their responsibilities will never get done 100%. How can any one person be proficient at teaching, say History when they get 30 new students a year on top of another 70 to 100 other students they teach - while at…

Yeah, hillary being president is going to bring down patraichy as much as obama being president did for white supremacy.

And with a Clinton vs. Trump ticket we should beg for forgiveness and hope they take us back. I kid, I kid, but I don’t see the Democratic Party uniting under Hillary without Warren as her VP.

Perhaps, perhaps not. But that isn’t the point really.

So tell me again why they’re still in power?

Men will NEVER admit they are the most dangerous threat to other people in this world. Not all of them, of course, but men in general have caused fare more deaths than any woman, child, or animal (except maybe mosquitos!) . Whether it’s their egos or greed, they seem to be the root of most evil. They’re the ones…
