If General Mills refused to clarify what the species was, what would you like the author to do? She eventually got the information, but that’s likely only because of how popular the original article was, and how much damage control different organization were trying to do. With no access to more specific information,…

That doesn’t mean that someone’s authority to speak on a subject isn’t useful information to have. I care a great deal more about what John D., Chair of Climate Research at Columbia has to say about global warming than what John D., Angry Restaurateur thinks

The Guardian covered this in their article on this item. Schools already have police forces like these (where they’re official police, but answer only to the school). There’s just concern about extending this to religious organizations

“I still hesitate to use the word Racist or Discrimination because it’s so painful and it’s not something we expect to happen nowadays.”

No one happens to know of any good vegan boxed wines, do they? The TJ shiraz that someone else mentioned seems like a good option according to barnivore, but I haven’t had any success finding some otherwise

I don’t deny that how the wine itself is created is going to have a significant impact, and maybe some boxed wine companies are less responsible than some other bottled win companies. That said, neither of the issues you brought up were for boxed wine, so they seem like if anything they’re reasons to prefer boxed

I certainly didn’t!

I’m not opposed to executive orders. I’m opposed to executive orders that are racist, possibly illegal, unclear in how they should be implemented, and don’t present any real argument for why they should exist. Similarly, I’m not opposed to members of the legislative branch voting against appointments when the nominees…

Bork got a vote after a long and messy debate over his merits as a justice. Some Democrats voted for him, some Republicans voted against. Not equivalent. No one is denying the Senate’s right to sometimes vote down a nomination, merely denying that they should refuse to even consider any nominees because of…

Reid took the nuclear option on non-Supreme Court judicial nominees when faced with unending Republican obstructionism. The rules were always there, however, and to believe that the Republicans wouldn’t be invoking them now if it weren’t for that change is fantasy.

This isn’t Gizmodo. Also, should be easy; all they need is for Trump, the white house, or politicians to have a single day in which they don’t do something horrifying.

This is an article about someone responding disproportionately to a emotionally disturbed child’s actions. Don’t worry though, when that straw man article advocating spitting in police officers’ faces as the hot new thing for teens to do, you’ll have the perfect comment ready to go. Pity that it doesn’t make sense in…

No, I’m not, which means that I don’t have years of training and experience to help me to handle the situation. LEOs should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.

And my nephew shouldn’t have called me an idiot when he was upset. I still imagine you’d be opposed to my beating him for it though. Who knows with your type though?

Both parties can also be different levels of wrong. For example, an emotionally disturbed child being disrespectful during a stressful situation could certainly behave better. That doesn’t in any way make her equivalent to a trained law enforcement officer choosing to repeatedly hit a child that doesn’t pose a threat…

Stupid is not how I’d describe someone repeatedly hitting a child. Violent, out of control, a stain on our society, someone who should be in jail; these are the sorts of descriptions that come to mind for me for a person like that. I guess we disagree on that though.

“Real men don’t shop” great /s

The only one here that seems to be whining about things that in no way affects them is you. Maybe try growing a thicker skin, bro.

Not really the same for countries that we’re allies with, or have neutral diplomatic relations with, versus a country we’re actively sanctioning and which is generally seen as our opposite in the global power balance

If you’re going to make the argument that since it’s an allowed sentence, it’s a just one, then since commuting her sentence is also allowed, it must also be just.
