Yup, I've already replied to a different post of yours but want to add to your excellent points here; with the straight marriage, the couple were likely straight, but here, for the gay marriage, they were also straight. The straight marriage could actually work as a 'full' marriage, and obviously did, if the kids are

Sadly the whole ceremony was filled with "lol no homo" jokes, such as "[they'll] come together in marriage but not in other ways" and "It's just a couple of genuine mates willing to go the full 80. That's a rugby term, not a position in the karma sutra". Urgh.

Well for one thing, 'Irish' isn't a slur, 'Redskin' is. More importantly, Notre Dame has a large Irish-American population, so naming the team after the Irish was a way to celebrate their own heritage. The Washington Redskins were named by white people.

I didn't say it was totally, 100% inoffensive. It just yeah...the comparison isn't even remotely there.

Respecting others = pussification...wow bro.

Censorship specifically references the government punishing a person for protected free speech. A private business is more than able to choose who is and is not allowed to use their platform to sell things. If Etsy thinks that sell racist merchandise reflects poorly on their business, then they have the right to

I worked at a museum recently (not in DC or anywhere near it) and I was baffled by the number of white people, mostly men, who came in clad head to toe in the Redskin logo. I'm not censoring these people, I'm not oppressing them, but if I see someone wearing that I automatically assume they are an asshole. Because

When that happened I called the 700 club and asked them to pray for Pat Robertson because he was obviously fucking nuts. They hung up on me.

I would like you to do something for me. Please go back, find all of your social studies and civics teachers from your primary and secondary education years, and kick them in the gonads for leaving you so stupidly ill-informed that you think this constitutes censorship.

This is exactly what I was going to say. This is a nice gesture, but, if they're not going to get rid of the other seriously offensive-to-Native Americans stuff on their site, totally meaningless.

Only the government can censor. Private citizens don't owe you shit.

I'll take Etsy seriously on this when they ban faux Native American headdresses and knockoff turquoise jewelry labeled as Zuni and dream catchers crafted in Chinese sweatshops and $10 "Navajo" pottery.

"I unfriend you."

Well, the wiki is fascinating. Maybe I'll check out one of the books.

I had to Google it. (And then I fell down a wiki hole.) I agree, most apt.

Diet cola tastes way worse than vaginas!

this will never not be funny. sorry jesus.

See here's the thing - I don't care how many anyone has. I care that they have whatever competent medical care they want/need when they want/need it. I don't care beyond that because beyond that is none of my business.

Imma guess a little column A, a lot of column B.

I vote both.
