Flint is not the butt of the joke, and the sign is tame.

Are.. you serious? The joke is that Michigan women, in the eyes of OSU students, are floozies who may have contracted sexually transmitted diseases via their moral-casualness. In fact, the OSU students believe they may be infected to a degree that they are comparable with a well known polluted water source.

Nothing wrong here. Jokes are fun. Lighten up you fucking puritans.

That’s actually a p. hilarious sign.

Mischaracterizing arguments is like the bread and butter of this site. why would you ever think they’d try to be intellectually honest?

Let’s be real here, Tim. There’s no joke that suggests a measured strategy on these kind of issues that you and your colleagues would not view as mean-spirited.

Maybe not, do you ever think there’s part of the country who may be ignorant of , meaning not informed about, gender issues and seeing 37 gender identities looks absolutely asinine and ridiculous. I’m a pretty liberal straight white male and it looks ridiculous to me. Why are gay people so obsessed with having 5…

I haven’t seen an NHL player’s parents this excited about him making it big since Jack Johnson made his debut.

Facts don’t matter to either side. It’s all tribalism.

That’s actually bullshit. If we are going to complain about facts then we need to hold ourselves to the same standard.

I understand your frustration, but you cannot use this kind of thinking. It’s the exact thing that both sides have been accusing each other of, and by doing so, you make their accusations true. If you make 10 arguments, all of them moral and correct, except one includes an falsehood that you knowingly put in to push…
