This. “Oh, this comment or article makes me uncomfortable? What exactly about it makes me uncomfortable? Now I know what, why does it make me uncomfortable? Is there something I’m doing or not doing that I can change or do differently to become a better person as a result?” If the answer is yes, then there you go.…

I’m positive there’s also this deeply sexist (and racist, obvs) “only purpose in life is to pop out moar white babies” angle going on as well; it’s the only explanation I can see for the whole “childless” thing. It’s so incredibly sick.

We’re useless because we won’t hop on their boners and keep having opinions of our own. Because, you see, the world OWES them and isn’t following through. It’s never THEIR fault.

That was my other thought. These jackwagons don’t deserve the honor of standing next to Union veterans. I could see not melting them down, but as a poster mentioned downstream, a “statue graveyard” would be kind of cool. These don’t deserve to be relocated to a nice park.

Gee, I didn’t realize history gets completely erased when a set of statues goes away. Doesn’t say much for our archival history. If only we had large rooms in which we kept accumulated knowledge, or managed to find some way to electronically share information!

Relocating statues is pretty much a real life equivalent of moving the goalposts.

I thought of those statistics about seventeen minutes after I posted. It probably is one big ego fluffing party. Is the CEO angling to be part of the cabinet, do you think?

Me either. i’m surprised they haven’t yet; although it does bring them traffic and thus $$$.

I’m still in disbelief that we’re apparently issuing governmental policy via 140 characters on a third-party private service.

Not just that (during that small two minute window of total eclipse, lolololol), but also somehow ensuring conception.

No, not at all.

It might be tart, but I think it’s a fairly level-headed response, especially after the “I wouldn’t put her in that awkward position” comment.

Wow. A whole six months.

Fair enough; Wikipedia says the attribution isn’t clear, although the Irish/police reference was what I’d always heard.

I’m pretty sure it is, from back when a majority of the police force (NY at least) was Irish.

I’m so numb to all of this that I’m ashamed that’s the first thing I noticed, too.

This infighting and backstabbing would be a whole lot more entertaining if the rest of us weren’t getting dragged down too.

If they’re living at home with him, my point still stands. I also highly, highly doubt it was the kids that initiated this. Or if they did, it was with his full and complete cooperation, neither of which excuse slagging his kids off to the world.

Is it wrong that I immediately pictured Deadpool as the narrator/character?

Nope.
