Capitalism can be functional and serve the greater good provided that it is well regulated. The US system is indeed a broken capitalist system.

Nah, it’s simpler than that and it transcends economic classes. Look, middle class folks at this point know that buying cheap Chinese crap at Walmart instead of US made stuff at locally owned stores will eventually lead to their jobs being eliminated. Still, they do it anyway because of the sense that one person…

Lol

And many people refuse to take even that tiniest step, as evidenced by those aggressions.

God this is fucking stupid. Not you, the former congregation.

Thank you, I loved reading this.

Church goers are racist hypocrites. What a shock!

My wife and I went to a couples party. I went as an actual bush, a shrubbery, and my wife went as Sean Spicer and hid behind me. No one got it. Now THAT’S problematic...

Don’t be looking around incredulously among the Trump supporters in your life for what they think now, when they said they’d just wanted “bad” undocumented immigrants to go. They are perfectly fine with this. This is what they intended. They really meant that all undocumented immigrants are “bad.”

So, where are all the deficit hawks who were so concerned during Obama’s presidency? The saddest part is that the “base” that voted for Trump, will go along with this even if Fox News tells them that their taxes will go up while the wealthy get tax breaks. Apparently ‘trickle down’ is still gospel, despite it being…

Good.

Until I was like eight, I thought I had a cousin I had never met named Sean (“seen”) in addition to the one I had met named “Shaun”. It wasn’t until I was writing my own thank you notes one Christmas and my mom saw I had addressed the card to “[Cousin], Sean, Shaun, [Cousin], and [Cousin]” that I learned the truth.

Apparently you didn’t grow up in the suburban Northeast, because I think there was at least one Sean in every class I ever had.

What are you talking about, any idiot—even the Taoiseach or a Teachta Dála—could pronounce Saorse Ó Riagháin.

This article is truly weird; the Irish will never have the same immigration issues even if they are undocumented. Getting deported back to Ireland isn’t really like being deported to El Salvador. There isn’t currently a civil war going on (although there are some Republican groups who’d insist and try to convince you…

You’re wrong about Darwinism.

You give people too much credit. People are just monkeys who invented pants. Don’t pretend like we’re better than this. We never have been.

“No Child Left Behind” was a noble idea, but here we are... some of them really should have been left behind.

At least 1000 people voted that less than a million died....

I use MyFitnessPal on my iPhone for this. I’m fortunate in that calorie counting has allowed me to lose over 45 pounds in the past 18 months. Making it an option is definitely key.
