That's the issue. If the white coach hadn't just levelled a bunch of race-baited criticisms at his black players, it would be less relevant.

It should probably be called the Rapist Protection Act

It's actually performance art ironically commenting on the state of modern feminism.

this isn't really a problem since we've abolished the court system because Jesus says that we should settle out of court with our accusers before we arrive in front of the judge. (Matthew 5:25)

That's my point. Pretty much every incarnation of Christianity that has ever existed adopts Paul's writings as Scripture. To be a Christian in the modern era (or any other so far) is to follow Jesus as interpreted by Paul. To make a distinction between Paul's writings and Christianity is to deliberately misunderstand…

Hey, that's a big mouthful of bad theology. Paul's letters are canon. They are just as much a part of the Bible as any other books, and pretty much no Christians reject Paul's writings because Jesus didn't say them.

Or they just didn't have the photo-editing capability to change it.

This is the Biblical viewpoint.

I'm not sure that the segmentation of the health beauty aisle is about selling more deodorant by dividing on gender lines(if women are buying men's deodorant or vice versa, splitting that market doesn't increase sales) so much as its about teaching men the body insecurity women have had for generations to sell other…

The problem is that the current political climate has caused cuts to some of the most effective anti-poverty programs the country has. And private charities, who have stepped up over and over again as our public safety nets have disintegrated, are simply out of their league to solve all of the country's problems.

The government might be less efficient than private business (though most government inefficiencies I know about have to do with business manipulation and/or privatization), but to argue that private charity is more efficient is a little bit ridiculous. The government runs some of the most effective poverty reduction…

Private charity is doing everything it can. But the need is simply greater than we can handle. In my town, they're turning people away from meals on wheels, because there simply isn't enough money to fix it. That's a great theory, but it has simply been proven wrong. How many more old ladies have to resort to living…

I like it when my side uses tactics like this, and I hate it when the other side uses tactics like this.

Like this one? http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_facto…

The problem isn't the "you can't please everyone" card. It's the corollary that he's assuming. "You can't please everyone, so everyone should just please me"

Holy shit I totally did not think about the fact that the poster targeting one specific girl with rape advice. Good Lord, that's awful.

What's crazy is that these kids simply don't know that the world could be different from the way it is. I work with teens, and sometimes I tell them that I'm sorry they have to navigate all of that bullshit all of the time, and they're like, "What are you talking about?" The online drama/interactions/anonymous attacks…

If anything this highlights to me the fact that rape is not a sex thing, it's a power thing. Because pretending to be someone's friend for months just so that you can sex them is a ton of work when you can get laid pretty easily by just, you know, being a decent person and caring about other people.

Yeah, and his ad is him standing in a pink house talking about his mother? I think they are overestimated their target audience pretty significantly. However, I think a lot of progressives in NC are organizing, and hopefully the Moral Mondays folks will have people getting out the vote, so he could perhaps ride in on…
