Oh wonderful, let’s get this racist asshole involved in discussions about gun violence. She can blame it all on black and hispanic dudes again. Cuz they’re all criminals amirite???

And to add this bullshit about “Don’t be rude” and similar comments are people just telling you to calm down. Because our anger about this BS is not justified, not like their anger about Cecil. Not like their anger about feeling like they’ve been called racist or that they don’t care about Black people. That anger is…

That is an accurate assessment. NVC is jsut...

With you up to the last paragraph. Let’s consider why we’re saying animals should be given ‘human’ consideration. Why can’t humans be given animal consideration? Because I feel similar to your argument but in the opposite way. I’m an animal. Specifically a primate. An omnivore. I eat animals because that what I was…

Except a slight limp, all of my disabilities are hidden (broken neck, broken back, neurologically-based left-sided weakness, brain stem damage, brain damage, etc.), so my inability to work for money and my frequent falling have made for some difficult conversations. This seems like a great thing to me. I would have…

You really appear to be arguing about a technicality here. No, the authors and signatories of the petition are not directly arguing for criminalization of sex workers themselves, but they ARE arguing for laws that are ultimately harmful for those sex workers.

Yes they fucking signed it. Of course they did! Read the goddamned petition and don’t be fooled by this lying click-bait journalism. It’s a petition literally stating that sex work should be decriminalized. It is blatantly PRO decriminalization.

He’s not really an aristocrat, he’s a life peer which means he was given the title by the government for his ‘services’ to the country in order for him to become a member of the House of Lords, now that he can’t be a member of the House of Commons (no longer being an MP). He didnt inherit the title or anything.

That makes no sense. Goodness knows standards are much higher for European driver licenses.

If you are implying European pilot's are not as good as US counterparts, I'd say you put too much value on flying around in small aircraft for 1500 hours... It's the same all over the world, there are amazing professional guys with 150 hours around and there are completely useless guys with 10.000 hours as well.

She certainly seems to play a nationalism card a lot, like “don’t let my kids grow up in some weird foreign country” kind of appeal.

I think you misunderstand what the BBFC’s role is. It does not censor films, it classifies them. It clearly explained why the 18 rating was given (the sex scenes) and it’s possible (I don’t have any sources to hand) that it can give film-makers advice as to which scenes are pushing their decision for a particular…

“Sure teens are going to explore their sexuality, and the 70’s were much more permissive.”

According to the author you are just being “fussy, inartful,” and “blaringly misogynistic.” From the quote above it sounds like the Brits are saying that the sex scenes are “numerous and sustained,” so I think that was more the issue. They could have covered the subject matter more artfully if they wanted. In any…

“Never thought I’d feel good about that, but it seems Britain has America beat when it comes to fussy, inartful, blaringly misogynistic film censorship.”

You’re absolutely right about pretty much everyone being okay with Hitler in 1933, and that could be said of the American administration, too.

Ricky Gervais had the best response to this non story:

The irony of this post is amazing.

Right at the bit where she tells a story about a Hispanic guy she dated who she called a “wetback” (it doubles as a dirty joke) and told to “get back in the kitchen.”

Oh America, please do continue to show the rest of the world how you’re a leader in freedom and social justice.
