I’m thrilled with the consolation prizes if the first place prize would have been watching a despotic self-appointed “liberator” succeed in conquering a country she has never stepped foot in before and assume  her “rightful” place on the throne because birthright. 

Same. It’s just... Dany’s whole thing since she got her dragons was that being the Queen of the 7 Kingdoms was her birthright and destiny, even though A) the people mostly did not want her, B) she had never been to Westeros until like last season, and had basically no knowledge of their issues or cultures, and C) her…

The strength of their beliefs is irrelevant to their worthiness as a basis for law in a secular society.

I volunteered as a clinic worker in the 1990s, and we’d regularly see women who had been protesting get abortions and then sneak out the back entrance and be back on the line a few weeks later.  The hypocrisy was staggering.

Similar experience here, too. I was raised by an ultra conservative, Rush Limbaugh listening, George Bush supporting, Fox News watching mom, AND we were LDS! So I pretty much got the whole shebang of fucked up opinions towards all kinds of things, especially sex. A few years ago, I was in the early days of a new…

To them, women are human beings, they are vessels created by God for men’s use.

I don’t give a fuck what you think.

Let’s just ban men

I grew up in Alabama and was sent to Christian schools for many years. We were taught how the p goes into the v and that you shouldn’t have sex until married or you’d go to hell. There was no education around contraceptives and women were/are shamed about their bodies and made to feel responsible for the sexual…

And no jerking off! Don’t these fuckbuckets know that:

Here’s some fun anti-Nazi news to cheer everyone up. One of the UKIP candidates for the South West region in the European Elections is some “trigger teh libs” “anti-feminazi/SJWs” YouTuber and even being someone who’s tuned in on to politics I had no idea he’s actually been out campaigning in these parts this week.

Oh goodness what has happened to this country? We used to care about finding practical but effective solutions based on the science we had at the time and actually hold people accountable. We used to mock big tobacco when they tried to “prove“ cigarettes were not bad. We had win after win for labor, equal rights, and t…

You’re not wrong; I almost prefaced my comment with a humblebrag disclaimer, then thought better of it. But I see what you did there with your “I went to Italy AND Germany” reply.

I really like “mitigate legal scenarios” because it is total nonsense. Legal pitfalls, sure, legal issues, ehh maybe, but legal scenarios would be anything that is legal or illegal. As written, I am reading it as he will mitigate all legal scenarios leaving you with only illegal options. At least go to a real…

That’s true. But not all of us react to being small by deliberately trying to upset people in the dumbest, most telling-on-yourself way possible.

The holdup is over the status of Northern Ireland. Remember, the island of Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland, a sovereign state and member of the EU whose capital is Dublin, and Northern Ireland - a province in the United Kingdom whose capital is in London (normally it is administered by an assembly…

We need to listen to both sides of the issue - the people who survived being shot and those who are dead.

Can you imagine even a fraction of this being redirected? “Magers was convicted today of two counts of irresponsible insemination. In addition to his mandatory sex education training, he will be required to listen to a recording of his partner’s heartbeat and to watch an informational video explaining that a woman is…

“Have you ever been there? Because you don’t know why they closed all those DMVs in predominantly black areas while simultaneously upgrading the requirements for voter ID unless you’ve physically gone to those counties!”
