I'm willing to bet that 4/5 Americans are racist. That actually seems like a pretty low number to me.

It's actually been listed as a disparaging term since at least the 1960s, possibly earlier than that, so people have been calling it a slur for at least 50 years or so. Just because you choose to pay attention to things at your convenience doesn't mean they don't have a history.

At what point did Republicans start disliking unions? As I recall, the first Republican president we ever had spent his whole administration trying to reform a Union.

It feels more like our generation's Dred Scott

I believe you're missing the point of what people are complaining about. The problem people have with this character is that it is purely a stereotype — it is an "Asian" robot who dresses like a samurai and speaks in haiku, among other stereotypes. If you go to Japan in real life, you may be surprised to find

It seems as though about 30% of the population of Miami has been trying to sell me this argument as well. Didn't work either. I'm the only fool who was rooting for the country I currently live in. WHAT A CONCEPT.

Making things legal does not progress society. Slavery was abolished in 1865. It wasn't until the 1960s that there were civil rights laws. Even today, blacks face racism. Abortion has been legal for 40 years. People still moan about that today. Does that mean we have progressed as a society? I don't really think so.

This is what I don't understand: Why aren't more religions like this? I think a lot of Christians (I'll specifically use Christians as a whole for this argument since they are the majority here) believe that they're charitable and helpful and are seen as gracious in the eyes of others, despite the fact that they spend

Revenge is one of the greatest concepts that drove our Founding Fathers to write The Declaration of Vengeance.

God damn, what a shame to see such a guy go so soon. It's hard to believe. I still don't think it's quite sunk in for me, let alone how it must feel for his family. He was a good guy who died in a senseless accident.

While I absolutely agree with #5 (stop imitating European team naming conventions), I think he used a poor example. If they just want to call it a "football club" then I don't give a shit. But "Real Salt Lake"? Seriously? Are they playing in a country that has a royal crown? "D.C. United"? Do they play in the United

"Chicago, at 11th, neither rose nor ground."

Someone needs to set this guy's ridiculous commands to a good beat so we can all dance to them. Make it one of those songs like the Cha Cha Slide or something.

Oh, but they are enforcing their beliefs. Receiving health coverage is part of their compensation for working. Hobby Lobby is refusing to pay for a coverage plan that covers contraception because they don't agree with it, thus denying part of their employee's coverage due to religious beliefs. It's a simple as that.

Precisely. This nation was founded on ideals of freedom of religion. So using a bit of common sense, we can see why it's a bad thing that the government now allows corporations to enforce their religious beliefs upon employees.

Holy crap, is this serious? WOW. I'm shocked. I know a lot of people who aren't Auburn fans wouldn't know who this guy is, but I think he was the real favorite player on that 2010 team for a lot of Auburn fans, even more so than Cam Newton. I've never seen a tight end with such skill at catching the ball. His 2011

That should count as a three-pointer

So we shouldn't be critical of dumb, brainless, soulless movies like Transformers because there are other dumb, brainless, soulless movies out there? Did I get that right? That was your argument, right? I'll put it to you this way: I hate all dumb movies. But Transformers (and Michael Bay films in general) are a

This man is the American response to Sepp Blatter.

Sure, making a pie chart of this is dumb, but what's even worse is that there seems to be an invisible school whose name I cannot read because they are being represented by the color white.
