How horrible it is is very dependent on which state you live in. When I was living in Missouri a couple years back, my then landlord’s boyfriend received his third DUI in four years. He had a laughably small fine and only 2 month loss of license (with a hardship allowance). My home state of NJ, on the other hand,…

This isn’t about “fairness” so much as preserving a fundamental human right—the presumption of innocence. There’s no crime so abhorrent that we—as a society or individually—should deny others this most basic right.

Bantam is ages 13-14. Firing the guy over this is absolutely an overreaction.

Congratulations, of all the comments on this thread, yours, and yours alone, is the single stupidest one of them all. Please do the gene pool a favor and get sterilized.

Reverse racism? No, this was racism, full stop. Even if we use the fallacious, intersectional feminist, newspeak definition, this unambiguously qualifies. She and the event organizers were the institutional power and they used that power to oppress a group based on skin color.

It wouldn’t happen from market forces, it would have to be either mandated or subsidized. I don’t really foresee a scale issue, but rather an issue of political will and the myriad issues that arise when trying to apply policy solutions in developing nations.

This problem may be less of an issue going forward. Recent research has shown that augmenting pastured cows and sheep’s diets with 2 percent seaweed reduced methane emissions by nearly 98 percent. Whether similar results can be obtained for grain-fed livestock is still being researched. Obviously, there’s an…

And people complain about white male fragility...

In the tristate area the Jewish vote is almost exclusively a Dem special interest group. Jewish GOPers, much like black GOPers, are a tiny sliver of the population to remind us that they are not a monolith.

Explain how barring someone based on their gender ISN’T discrimination. We already have the fallacy-laden drivel that is “it’s impossible for a woman/POC to be sexist/racist,” now we’re saying it’s impossible for “oppressed or marginalized groups” to be discriminatory. I’ll wait for an explanation.

Make it six!

When the gender is unknown in Spanish, you generally just use the masculine suffix. Latino, by definition, is gender neutral. Latinx is just flagrant Newspeak and any arguments for it are specious at best.

They’re not protesting; they’re using mob violence to silence people they disagree with.

There are definitely some quality shades of green for cars, but they’re not the ones you usually see. I personally love some cottonwood green on an early ‘70s muscle car. Likewise, appletree green looks awesome on Aston Martins. The problem is most often when you see a green car, it’s some awful neon green or other…

Yeah, good thing companies have never wantonly abused copyright laws to protect IP for generic terms they were bafflingly awarded the copyright to.

The paper needs to be able to bend not the cover. The covers are almost always extremely rigid

I wish flights actually denied seating to people with extreme BO, but it’s never once happened in my many years of flying and I’ve sat next to some truly rank smelling individuals over that time.

Stop with the Ichiro is the true hit king idiocy. He’s over 1,000 hits behind both Rose and Cobb. His NPB hits will never count because they were against substandard competition. Do you consider Sadaharu Oh to be the true home run king? Of course not because it’s an idiotic argument. And even if we play the…

It’s a shame you’re thoroughly unable to grasp a key portion of your own culture—that culture isn’t diminished by being shared, but rather strengthened. Seriously, maybe talk to people actually from Japan and watch as they’re utterly baffled by the nonsense of American identity politics. Even worse, it’s having very…

Of course they are usually men—that’s why it’s called a “workplace shooting” and not a “kitchen shooting.”
