I thought that was a strange thing to say, too. According to exit polling, Democratic voters find both candidates satisfactory, which is kinda the opposite of fractured.

Well, there’s a little bit of that in every southern state. Like, this map shows the county-by-county voting results for Amendment 1, which outlawed same sex marriage in North Carolina in 2012. You can pretty much locate where the big cities (Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham), college towns (Chapel Hill, Boone) and the…

Not just that. People are applying to those schools way less because they don’t want to put up with all that bullshit.

You’re talking out your ass. I’m at a research university in the US and what you say couldn’t be farther from the truth.

It’s good she apologized, but it wasn’t an off-the-cuff remark, it was prepared statement. How could she even go there? The only explaination that makes any sense is that she is already shifting to the right in preparation to the GE. She just mis-judged how loudly she would be called out on her pandering. She’s really…

But Italy didn’t exist! Morality aside the statement makes no sense. Italy couldn’t fund empire because it didn’t exist as a political unit until 1870. And as rich as some areas were you can’t expect city-states to have the same resources as a nation.

Well he doesn’t have great contributions to his field, his publication record is worse than most grad students.

See, I thought the point of science versus religion is that your heroes AREN’T literal gods, and can make small, trivial mistakes without everyone screaming that their life is over.

So its savvy to create a credit card with more fees than any other and then sell it in Walmart with improper financial disclosures to take advantage of the financially illiterate?

But that’s less about how easy it is to blow a fortune you already have and more about how impossible it is to acquire a fortune from nothing.

Man, if only people were as excited to pay for meds and wells in Africa, or homelessness relief groups, or the refuge situation.

Savvy? She was born into a rich family, where she got rich from having a tv crew follow her around as she lived a rich person’s life, where she used her popularity to have someone create a shitty, micro-transaction app.

She’s not savvy, people are just incredibly stupid and love celebrities wayyy too much.

It has to be early to mid teens. All of my friends and I (early 20s) hate that cocksucker.

Felix “Pewdiepie” Kjellberg also played the game, and he did not like it at all.

Hannah Arendt wrote a book about this called, “The Banality of Evil.”

No. There were rumors of sexual harassment (not rape), but no arrests or lawsuits. Oddly, Gawker seems to be the only source of information on the harassment claims.

Hitler murdered millions of Jews before he got power? No, he didn’t. Trump is spewing the same type of rhetoric that Hitler did, in his rise to power. When asked how his plan for the Muslims differed from that of Hitler, he told a journalist “You tell me.” The Japanese were already interned during WWII, it can happen…

As a mental health professional with some familiarity with neuroscience I’m wondering what you base this assessment on. “Some people are beyond hope” is a very subjective statement and one I’d argue is the product of one’s own faith (or lack thereof).

I’d argue the concept of “evil” itself is a human invention and serves to separate ourselves from people and problems we don’t care to try to understand.

He’s not talking to conservatives. He’s talking to Trump supporters, who by definition, are in thrall with celebrity for its own sake.
