Say you are a woman who is a staunch feminist, and you walk into your house one evening and your boyfriend says, out of the blue, “Sorry I called you a cunt earlier. I love women. You know I would never say that about a woman for real.”

I’m so sorry you went through that. I can’t even begin to imagine. I hope you’re in the healing process and life gets better for you. *hugs*

I don’t judge him for dating so quickly after his spouse died (to each their own) but YES to everything else you said. And apparently we’re assholes for not thinking his smug, patronizing, alienating brand of humor is funny. Go figure.

Yes, I’m a huge asshole for pointing out what I don’t like about a comic that you apparently like.

Purposefully trying to get a rise out of people by exploiting their sensitivities and vulnerabilities in order to point out how “crazy” they are is being inflammatory. It’s also condescending.

Yep, that’s what I’m reading into it. What you said is not that outrageous. Sometimes people here are really obvious about their biases but won’t admit to them.

Congratulations, you have what is called an opinion. Would you like a cookie?

Interesting how people are judging you so harshly for expressing your personal feelings on the matter. I understood that you were doing your best not to judge Oswalt by your comment. It’s weird that people are conflating the hope that you’ll be missed with the idea that you want your loved one to be miserable.

Off-topic, but Agata Kornhauser-Duda is wearing the hell out of that skirt suit.

He’s the type who says inflammatory shit and expects to be patted on the back for it because, hey, he’s just a rational mature adult man making logical observations about how hysterical and stupid everybody else is:

Years of clamoring for recognition and having the government make concessions doesn’t make them a real tribe. I’m not trying to deny anyone’s heritage or bring up a discussion of blood quotients, parentage, etc. It isn’t my place. In that vein I am not denying that many of them are part-Native.

You may very well be right, but I don’t see the sense in making that assumption without any evidence. Unless you’re planning to do more in-depth research on the matter to back up your theory, in which case, I’m sure the answers are out there. However, I’m honestly not that invested in proving the accounts to be…

Didn’t say it was. But also, from what I understand, Blemmyes and Troglodytae were invented by the Greeks/Romans according to their own firsthand accounts/mythologizing. I could be wrong.

That was something I was thinking about as I typed my last response but didn’t address, as I know very little about Teutonic and Nordic mythology and ancestral claims.

Law enforcement is one issue among many and addressing police reform as a party platform would only turn off single issue voters who are obsessed with blue lives matter type rhetoric, i.e. very racist whites. If that’s what would sway them against the Dems over outreach regarding the economy, jobs, healthcare, and…

They are a hodgepodge of people who wandered out of the woodwork after European arrival with no history or customs or territory to speak of. The unembellished story of their origin and, more importantly, DNA analysis demonstrate that they have primarily European and sub-Saharan African ancestry (96%, which is on par…

I’m not making a judgment call on whether or not they’re dumb. Doesn’t change that the Dems’ strategy is bad.

I thought the story was bullshit until they mentioned that part. They should have led with that.

The Lumbee aren’t a real tribe.

Why did you reword what I already said?
