You know what would “keep women safe?” If 18, 19, and 20-year-olds could go out to a bar and have a few beers with friends instead of having their only access to alcohol be bottles of hard liquor in the back room/basement of a final club or frat. Women in college are more likely to be victims of sexual assault during…

Heh sorry. My sarcasm-meter is apparently not working today.

I feel like there should be an expiration date on “spoilers.” I mean FFX came out 15 years ago...

I’ve seen that one too. I like to respond to it by pointing out that actual Holocaust survivors are comparing Trump to Hitler.

DISAPPOINTED. I mean it’s fine and will probably be a big summer hit, but there’s nothing creative or different about it. I expected more from JT.

Why

While I agree that comparisons to China are pretty ridiculous I think that you underestimate the power of the government propaganda machine. And as to people who have “access to study it” I’m a bit confused as to what you mean there... The government is going to make sure that foreigners go away with a good impression…

It’s amazing how high your approval ratings will get when you can threaten people and terrify them into submission, isn’t it?

THANK YOU. It’s just crazy how many people who have never had to deal with a communist or socialist dictatorship just LOVE the idea of it and think it’s the greatest... I’m pretty far to the left myself and even I recognize that it’s ridiculous... My dad fled the DDR (a country that was arguably the best socialist…

A lot of people don’t unfortunately... I think there’s an unfortunate tendency on the left to pretend that initial intentions are more important than actual outcomes, which drives me insane.

Yeah it’s why so many Americans risk their lives traveling from Florida to Cuba on shitty little boats to get away from eeeeevil America... oh wait...

Admired by the same people who think that life behind the Iron Curtain was great, a.k.a people who live comfortable bourgeois lives and have never had personal experience with that kind of political system. You can be a leftist and still admit that left-leaning dictators are shitty people.

When I first read the title I thought this article was about modern-day “witches” who find The Craft offensive and my eyes almost rolled out of my head... But yeah The Craft is great. It’s not exactly high-end entertainment but I love it and Supernatural and things like that.

Ha me too! I think now I’ve counted around 10 people who donated to Hillary’s campaign and got a woman card because of that stupid article.

It depends on how it’s used. I’ve noticed it being used more as a passive-aggressive way to shut down discussion... if you respond negatively or disagree with with an “I feel” statement it’s like you’re attacking whoever said it personally. Maybe that’s just amongst Millennials like me though... I don’t think I’ve…

And it’s so different between countries/cultures too! It was hard to adjust back to American “niceness” after living in Germany. I had grown accustomed to saying something like “This doesn’t work. Fix it.” instead of “I feel like this could be improved a bit mayyyyybe consider changing it?”

It might partially be an age/context thing... When people around my age or younger begin a sentence with “I feel like” (in some contexts, anyway) any negative response or disagreement immediately becomes a personal insult. They taught us to use the whole “I statement” thing for years, but for a lot of people it’s just…

I think part of it is ivory has some uses in traditional Chinese medicine. Also, whole carved elephant tusks are incredibly impressive and imposing. I saw one in a museum once... there’s nothing quite like it.

This may be wrong, but I believe that in traditional Chinese medicine ivory and ivory dust has some uses, which is part of the reason that China is by far the biggest market for poached ivory in the world. Google directed me to this article, which is both fascinating and depressing.

Yeah the way to prove that you DIDN’T abuse your daughter is... to continue to harass and abuse her in public and try to humiliate her? Great logic there.
