The problem with pointing this out only is that it neglects the fact that she stuck to this tough on crime nonsense only up until recently (yesterday recently.)

It’s not that you’re wrong. It’s that you’re neglecting context. In the 90s, there was a sort of political “revolution” in the Democratic Party that happened at the same time or shortly after the Republican Revolution. The New Democrats, of which Clinton, Gore, etc., were apart of, got on the bandwagon with regards to…

No one on Gawker media has. It’s really weird. I would’ve figured that Hamilton Nolan would have at least run a small blurb.

The Crip they interviewed speaks a lot like how Fred Hampton used to in the 60s.

This pact is hopeful. I’m glad at least some members of the media are willing to get the actual story instead of saying that when gangs come together, they’re just doing so for the purpose of killing cops.

My parents are divorced. My dad is dating around and my mom is dating one dude. I don’t really have an issue with my dad’s dates because he doesn’t seek to involve me or them in either of our lives (their lives or my life), and that’s where my boundaries are at right now. On the other hand, my mom is trying to get her…

Friends are overrated.

I don’t understand why people would get them into situations where they have to care for two families, when you already have one to support. Aside from the complete duplicity and moral bankruptcy it takes to cheat on your significant other, and all the things that come with that, where the fuck would you get the time…

How in the hell is anyone's life in danger if someone is running the fuck away from you?

Am I crazy? Is this the fucking Twilight Zone? How are people actually able to rationalize this shit to themselves and try to put a neutral spin on it, as if there are *~*two-sides*~* to this story?

Let's put that in perspective. There are countries in the West that magically have incredibly low rates in which police actually shoot anyone. It has to take an operation on a minorly significant scale before anyone starts coming around with guns a blazing.

For one reason or another, cops in this country can't stand…

All the time. I love fantasizing about getting old, diseases and all. Staying young and dumb has always been a bigger worry for me than anything else.

You're right. I wouldn't punch him in the face. That's the crux here. Handle it like a civilized adult.

I'd be enjoying the fruits of that 30 year lucrative career; not getting into arguments over closed restaurants and then assaulting a dude who had nothing to do with it.

"I just want my fucking tv show, I don't care about a petty behind the scenes argument."

lol. You big fucking baby.

One thing to be said about Texas is that they love to make jokes about nationality, wrong or not. I'd venture that if there was a question of it, they would have made the joke anyway. Texas is big though and I haven't met anywhere near to all of them, so it's possible yet. But I spent most my life there and hadn't…

Texas isn't really as backwards as most people think it is, at least in the urban areas.

In the middle: Norway.

Knife and fork, dude. Like civilized folks.

It's weird. My wife and I moved from Texas (native born), and there was never this Danish/Dutch mix-up. When we moved to Oregon, I would tell people that I'm of Danish ancestry. It would just come up in conversation sometimes. It's been about five or so different times that people made some Dutch joke and I would…

"It's Denmark. Denmark. Denmark is that quiet kid in the cafeteria that everyone ignores, as he pretty much bothers no one, and his funny little open-faced sandwiches aren't worth stealing, anyways. Threatening Denmark isn't a wild card move, it's a bizarre move."

As someone who is of Danish ancestry, I am offended at…

Eh. When people refer to "fake" they're also implicitly denigrating the athleticism that is required of pro wrestling. Growing up, when my friends and I were really into the WWF, our parents (who also couldn't understand all of our grandparent's fascination with pro-wrestling) would say... "you want to do real…

Why do the most awful "think" pieces on the internet always come from XOJane or Thought Catalog? Most of the time that I see things from these two outlets, it's some of the worst thoughts and worst writing that I can think of, told by entitled people whose opinions have no business being in the public imagination.

Thoro…
