I’m not saying that people shouldn’t bitch about it, I’m saying that people need to recognize that their problem might not be the most fucking pressing problem for the MTA. That’s all.

Listen, I live off the L in “hipster” williamsburg and work and midtown manhattan, so I’ve heard this argument before, I just don’t find it persuasive. I think it’s selfish and lets us off the hook for being selfish. If you’re ok with that, fine, but I wish people would admit that more.

Other. People. Are. Not. At. Fault. On. The. Basis. Of. Where. They. Live.

No, but if you don’t want it to happen to you, the solution isn’t a personal, selfish one, but one that ensures that it won’t happen to anyone. You are not somehow less deserving of rape or mugging just because you care about yourself more. No one deserves that.

Really, how so? How is thinking that something is acceptable for others but not acceptable for yourself anything but selfish hypocracy? You can believe that that is ok, but don’t pretend that’s not what it is. Be fucking honest with yourself if you think you deserve better than other people.

The general public must support people who report rape. It is (literally) irrational to assume that people who have some stake in a case, be they related to the victim or the perpetrator or the accused, to behave rationally or to come in unbiased.

But it’s fine for other people to be riding those buses through such dangerous neighborhoods?

wow i will be sure to update my records thnx

I just find your reluctance to admit your priviledge in having a choice annoying tbh

I actually have my budget figured out so I’m not pouring $22000 a year into useless shit, so I don’t have to get a second job to live comfortably! I’ll definitely consider it if I want to take an extra vacation next year, though, thanks hon!

Again, I can’t think of a second job I could do in the time that I’m not at my first job that would net me $22000 a year, after tax, but sure, not “rich”

How would you know about them covering up rapes if they were...covering that up?

I mean, I don’t have an extra $22000 lying around each year, especially for something that is provided for free by law, but if having that much more than others isn’t “rich” to you, I guess we live in very different paradigms.

Wow yes tru great point $42000/year is a very reasonable price for ELEMENTARY SCHOOL when you put it that way wish i could find such a bargain :(

Owning a gun is 100% a choice, and one that I would argue is antisocial in the clinical definition of the word. Your gender, race, or appearing to be a member of a particular religion are not.

So, you deal with Hillary Clinton winning the Democratic nomination by coming to a female-focused space to goad adults who you call “petulant children” into having what you term “temper tantrums”...beautiful and not transparent at all, bravo bb.

Ugh, I know that, I just want them to say that for once. Fuck him indeed

So, may I ask what response you’re expecting or what response you would like to your posts?

Can I ask you what level of focus on Hillary’s Iraq war vote would make you satisfied? Now, on August 5 2016, so please don’t tell me before the primary or before she became Secretary of State. How could Hillary supporters talk about her now, during the general election period, that would be satisfactory to you?

But when you’re introducing a kid to a concept, you’re not usually starting from the platonic ideal of straight or gay. You’re explaining that someone is straight, or that they’re in a gay relationship. You’re not giving them to dictionary definition of being homosexual. I think it’s more important to describe a human…
