but it is also true that these programs are geared towards rehabilitation and skills development.

Except they have attempted and succeeded in forcing shut downs before. Heck they won a majority last year right around the time they were threatening one. The public doesn’t care, blames the Dems, or likes that they do it (by and large I mean of course, not that every person feels one of these ways).

She may or may not have started it but she was more than willing to use it and other racially coded dog whistles in her crusade against the uppity black guy running against her. This is precisely why my black ass is voting for Sanders even though a hell of a lot of his supporters have proven to be insufferable racists…

I get that Gawker needs occasional ~craaaazy Japan~ pageclicks, but come on, reportage about a handbook written like 60 years ago? COME ON. Japan has enough white perverts flocking to get a taste of that “crazy, repressed hentai culture.” Japan does not NEED THIS.

I’d reeally like to thank you for taking the time for bringing more context, and for dealing with all the America-centric people in the comments.

America has got almost absolute free speech. Europe doesn’t.

That’s because you’re painfully naive. Bigotry begets violence only after it’s had a good airing and collected lots of adherents standing around talking about how true all these vile things are. Squash in cradle.

If the United States had been occupied by the Nazis, we’d probably have a different approach to free speech. I prefer the American system, but I don’t presume to judge our European friends on this.

Oh dear Cat, I can only imagine the ethnocentric responses we’ll get from liberals and conservatives who think they know France. Yep, indeed; from the comments, I have been proven correct.

France has free speech. America got its sense of free speech FROM France. France also has criminal hate speech prohibitions. America has limits on free speech as well.

Trump is much more like the far right in Europe than most Republicans. Nationalist and, if not socialist, less neoliberal and sometimes even protectionist,This kind of politics could become powerful in an America that has poor white people that feel disenfranchised.

My main problem with your commentary here is that you and raisedbycats, neither of whom are ethnically Jewish/have family that has been affected by the Holocaust, are talking like you seem to think that you know better for the Jewish community than those of us who have dealt with this our entire lives. Honestly, I’m…

I’m absolutely not torn at all. People defected from the party all the time. They had a choice, and they chose to keep their homes and livelihoods in exchange for the deaths of 7 million people.

If only the world prosecuted the people responsible for other war crimes/crimes against humanity with even a minuscule fraction of effort that has been put into punishing Nazis.

Yes. The answer should always be yes. Put this woman on trial. It’s never too late for some form of justice.

But since we were essentially occupying Afghanistan, it is incumbent on us to institute some governance. We regularly enforced laws that we thought were in our favor, while pressuring Kabul to change those that affected us negatively. It appears that protecting children did not measure high enough in our interests.

You’re still in Middle School, right? It’s the only possible explanation for your puerile behavior tonight.

I know right? A win for a white woman is a win for all women whether or not the content she creates has a negative or positive impact on people of color. This comment section is the definition of “white feminism” right now.

Why, dont do this dont do this. Also, people are allowed to think some of her jokes are racist. Critism doesnt equal being a hater. I like amy and think she is funny but some of her jokes are offensive. But i dont mind offensive jokes.

Right. She should have butchered children, shredded incapacitated enemies and tortured prisoners like everyone else, right?
