It’s weird that you’re acting like taking a photo takes more than 5 seconds. It’s not enough of a delay to make any difference. The picture will also be valuable evidence if, e.g., the mom’s lawyer claims later that she wasn’t unconscious.

One of my favorite birdsrightsactivist tweets, mocking the “it’s not racism, it’s just reality!” bullshit:

So you are okay with overly-bombastic, misleading shaming rhetoric?

You should vote how you want.

Sorry that you have to pretend Hillary Clinton alone is personally responsible for every war the US has been involved in EVER, so that you can help Donald Trump get elected.

It’s fine that you don’t want to vote for a candidate that you don’t think represents your ideals, but it is also fine that Bee lives in the real world and recognizes that: (1) there are only two candidates with a chance to win this presidential election and (2) if you refuse to vote for the one that most closely…

Sam Bee is not obligated to support your quixotic dream of remaking our democracy at the expense of our actual democracy.

Dialog is important

Building codes exist for a reason. If that “limited electricity” causes a fire it could not only kill her but also injure others. The structure could also fail, or the weight of the structure cause the tree to fall potentially causing damage or injury. She’s in a residential neighborhood, not out in a rural space that…

Nope.

She said she didn’t like it, in interviews. Many, many times. This discussion is so old, it has dustbunnies.

We know she didn’t like it because she’s been interviewed saying she didn’t like it, multiple times. Get fucked.

The guy possibly/probably has PTSD as a result of the prison/legal system experience and aggressive media attention and the constant harassment of armed protesters. Yeah I read it. PTSD sucks. No one deserves PTSD. Ever. Having it sucks. Being with people who have it sucks. It sucks to have PTSD no matter how slight…

You haven’t addressed it at all. You haven’t provided a single source for your assertion that our criminal justice system is primarily punitive, despite having been provided a source clearly stating it is. You haven’t even grappled with the characteristics of the criminal justice system that clearly demonstrate its…

When someone says “Our criminal justice system is....” they are making a statement of the way things are. I fully agree or justice system should have different goals. It doesn’t. To say otherwise is wrong.

So, the source cited uses the exact words “primarily punitive” to describe the justice system. Why didn’t you include that in your quote?

You made a bold, objective statement about the nature of the justice system, I asked you to support this statement, you took an uncharacteristically long time to reply

Same. And I’m embarrassed to say that the Dr. Sears position on vaccines genuinely confused and worried me when I was an expecting/new mom and obsessing over everything. I had been given a copy of The Baby Book as a baby-care reference, and I thought that Dr. Sears was a mainstream, widely respected pediatric…

I read Bill Sears’ books when I was expecting my first child, and I did attachment parenting with her, which worked out well for our family. However, it seemed to me that as years went by Dr. Sears started to drift more and more toward an extreme viewpoint where only parents (usually mothers) who were willing to…
