From the Russian perspective in the past two decades NATO has illegally occupied and partitioned a Russian ally (Serbia) and managed through a decade of misguided adventuring to export Afghanistan's chaos into Russia's near abroad. NATO does things that are as crazy as the invasions of Georgia and Crimea, and in fact…

I'm not a Russian and recognize how belligerent Putin is being. But that said Russia still has legitimate defense concerns and its not crazy that when a country challenges them Russia has to respond.

From the Russian perspective it is not a peaceful nation if it is aiding in the military alliance aimed against Russia.

Cashews and kale do not have the animal proteins that a child's brain needs to develop properly. A child that does not receive animal proteins in some form will have a degree of mental retardation.

The child's brain won't develop properly, we need animal proteins.

Have we all forgotten Maude already?

Yeah the worst tourists are Brits and then Israelis. Because they get drunker/druggier/fightier than any other nationality. Australians might actually get drunker, but I've rarely seen them attack non-Australians.

Iran still is a center of science, education, literature, art and culture. Much of it honed under/directed against the censorship of the current regime.
Let's be honest Iran's literature and art scene were nothing before 1979 and similarly the alphabetization of its citizenry has mostly happened since 1979. Now I'm…

You can accuse Iran and Hezbollah of a lot, but wanting to please the West has never been one of them lol.

Yes this is what I find so hilarious. Marine le Pen will accuse France's Muslims of fostering anti-semitism in France when her father built his career (and the party she know leads) through decades of anti-semitic rabble rousing. In Germany they are currently constantly ringing their hands about whether young Muslims…

All day long I've been thinking about portrayal of skin color. Charlie Hebdo's always made me so uncomfortable

It wasn't until I came to America that I realized my skin color, because every photo of me ever developed in Pakistan gave me a cream and roses complexion. I remember getting my college ID and thinking, oh they gave me the ID of some Sudanese guy with my same name.

Can we please focus on how attractive he is? Look at that jawline.

The crimingwhilewhite folk are clearly lambasting the racism that girds American institutions. Their target is on point. This article does not target institutional racism in America, it is this article that is a distraction from the important discussion of the day.
The most hilarious part of this article is you can…

What I don't get is who doesn't like watermelon? You'd have to be stupid not to like watermelon. I could get making fun of people for eating that Southeast Asian fruit that smells like feet...but not watermelon. But I guess it just proves once again, racists just aren't that smart.

At first I was all like, silly Americans don't get British sarcasm...and then he abused his daughter.

That is what it is for all intents in purposes. I don't think anyone claims that executions are meant as exercises in rehabilitation.

No, cause I'm not a shit.

So in your mind there are situations where it is OK to threaten people's families with violence and yell slurs at them. That's about all I need to know about you.

Except of course for the many diverse parts of the Muslim world where for instance no one gives a fuck what the do like my family, or the parts of the Muslim world that are matriarchies (Moppla Kerala and the Minangkabau). These generalizations are kind of useless.
