The funeral was not a “nice thing”.

“But to me it looks as though she is only interested in exploring the lives of black people solely through the lens of interracial relationships and I don’t know how to feel about that. “

Why is it people think that it matter if or not they can do something.

Man, if only Myanmar had a Nobel Peace Prize winner as their president who would speak out on this considering her own time under house arrest by an oppressive military government... rather than remain silent and complicit to the genocide because the victims aren’t considered Burmese.

That’d be swell, I’m sure.

Does a shootout over a gambling game gone wrong really qualify as a “mass shooting”?

The glorification of McCain’s political career has always been a lie. Virtually every one of his much-ballyhooed breaks from the Republican party line was just him talking shit. The media ate it up and built the myth. It’s one of the many betrayals of the American people by the media where instead of reporting on news…

I’ve seen far worse done in the name of other religions and sometimes even covered up by the religion itself.

Honor killings. Crusades. Inquisitions. “God wills it”.

it’s because they hurt people.

Pretty much. Scientology is easy to label as a cult because it’s so new, but if you somehow had no knowledge of any religion, and you put all their basic beliefs out side-by-side, they’d all be equally bonkers. The only reason the christian church, in its many varieties, gets a pass is because it’s old and entrenched,…

You can exchange the word Scientology in this article with any other religion and it still makes sense. Not sure if that’s sad or funny, or both.

Prison abolition would go a long way towards preventing crime and drug abuse and making sure the justice system is applied fairly.

Yea, ok that’s fucking moronic. The justice system includes the penal system. Don’t be so fucking obtuse. If you can’t scrape past the surface that’s on you.
