You running the Republican’s PR train?

My wife and I spent about a year researching this option, even getting to the point of starting language classes. I can give you info if you want.

This is one of the issues of “individualistic” parenting. First, you got folks who are insistent that they raise their kids any damn way they please, even at the danger of other people, including other people’s kids. But, on the flip side, we’ve got this weird mentality of it being “your infant” only, when parenting,…

I’m going to keep calling it coke to piss off all you yankee snobs.

Where’s your anger toward people who call all hot tubs with water jets, “jacuzzis”?

It can be spent on abortions if it is for the life of the mother, rape or incest.

Was hoping for video :(

Clinton is for the death penalty.

Okay. Let’s test it then. What do you think communism and socialism mean?

He is a socialist. Which is fine by me. But he’s not a revolutionary. His website doesn’t say he’s going to “give corporations to worker co-ops.” He supports putting funding into helping workers start cooperatives. I don’t even know what you mean by “abolish corporate finance.”

I can’t ungrey you, but I can give you stars.

This is a good idea.

It’s not a matter of being “PC” (well, technically, it is because it has political implications — but not in the way that people usually use that as an insult.) There are actual implications for classing a group of people as “migrants” and as “refugees.” Which is part of the debate going on in Europe right now. A lot…

The choice of my words were fine. I can’t help what people project onto my posts. If my clarification worked out better for you, great, but not everyone seemed to have missed the point.

You’re misunderstanding my point. I don’t know what it is about deadspin, but a lot of commenters here seem to like to try and read between the lines, when there isn’t anything between the lines to read.

Nowhere did I — “vaguely” or otherwise — justify what goes on. I have no interest in sports, except for casually…

It is different for high school and college. The amount of money that comes to these towns for high school football, both in tourist revenue and in sponsorship money and ticket/concession sales, keeps quite a few people employed in these towns and keeps money in the schools. College football is the same. Tons of money…

I don’t think you read what I was saying. I didn’t say that professional teams sink money into local teams. But it generates revenue for these small towns, that’s why government money gets allocated for it.

Where did I say that justifies what these two cretins did? Arrest them for assault. I’m just explaining why football is such a big deal in my state.

Disrespect of authority has nothing to do with this. A healthy disrespect of authority is a good thing.

We take it very seriously, but it’s for structural reasons rather than any actual cultural fidelity to it. Many small towns in Texas are pretty destitute and football brings a lot of money and opportunities to the kids playing it. For many, it represents a way to get into school without having to take on a shit ton of…

That wasn’t as satisfying as I was hoping it would be. Someone sticking their foot out, tripping her and her landing in the food, while the two ladies laughing and cussing her out in their native language, would’ve been a good comeuppance.
