It's findings were reversed and the people responsible for it were sacked. That's pretty much proof of it's bogosity.

From what I've seen in the Dutch (and French and English) media she did not flee Somalia to escape an arranged marriage. She left Somalia as a little girl as a refugee from the Civil War and was raised in Nairobi where she was educated at a private international school with the children of Europeans and South Asians…
Corroborate what? That she fled Somalia to escape an arranged marriage, and that she feared an attempt on her life? All of that is known to be true; hence the retinue of security she'll have to live with for the rest of her life.
Well, sure - let's start with Hirsi Ali, herself:
I know you don't speak Dutch, so I'll just clue you in - the subtitle "translations" are fabricated.
Um, except that she didn't.
That's not actually true, and the Dutch PM who largely and shamefully forced her out of the country was ultimately herself forced out of office for it.
Because - especially in a "galactic civilization"-type setting - it's astonishingly wasteful and lazy to build something as vast and deeply imagined as the Mass Effect (which is to say -kind of vast and kind of deeply imagined) and then just chuck it in the fucking garbage can after exploring maybe, like 5% of it as…
I think if you don't have any experience with an organization on GM's scale - a major corporation, a cabinet-level Federal agency, etc - then you simply don't know what you're talking about.
In fact, 100% of active shooter incidents end because someone shows up who is able to offer resistance against the shooter - be that via a firearm, a chemical tool like pepper spray, or some improvised weapon. Whether that person is a trained law enforcement officer or just a regular citizen. The "good guy." Sometimes…
They've actually become less frequent, as has all types of gun violence.
Oh, Jesus Christ. Who the hell am I that it matters to you what I think about your identity? Honestly.
Would you ask a gay man if he was sure he was into dudes?
Man, I love how this is fucking with the Tumblr-SJW program: see, sex is entirely determined by real morphological differences, but how dare you say that 'women don't have penises'; race has no biological basis at all and is entirely socially constructed, but how dare you think you can just change yours.
"For a more powerful presentation, drop the mic and grab your dick on the way out. That's a presentation they'll be talking about!"
But they do pay taxes, and the music industry isn't losing money from downloading. And "tax the rich to support the poor" has always worked, but for some reason we decided to tax the poor to support the rich, instead.
Non-citizens pay taxes same as everyone else; by virtue of non-citizenship they're frequently unable to consume government services.
I don't know where or how men supposedly get this confidence or this entitlement...It's equally baffling to me that anybody could have the opposite headspace.
Having Al Gore champion climate change was a double edge sword.
