But that’s exactly how moral lines are drawn? Why are we not expected to respectfully hear out arguments for slavery anymore? I’m willing to bet it would poll better than Trumpcare right now, and there’s certainly an argument to be made that it would increase GDP and improve our trade balance. The Southern Baptists…

I was actually interested for the couple of moments I thought this was going to be an MMA fight.

My understanding was that we’re not supposed to politicize mass shootings?

THIS COMMENT IS LITERAL GENOCIDE!!

Also where KD found out how much he liked playing with Steph/Klay/Dray.  

I mean, the problem with it is that The Police, as an entity, are essentially an inhuman monstrosity that regularly just up and devours someone for no rational reason.

Ethnic cleansing is what deep fries those wings and slathers them in tasty sauce for the Super Bowl

“I mean, it wasn’t behind closed doors...and it wasn’t done in a matter of days...and it didn’t pass the House without CBO scoring...and it invited amendments from the opposition party...but Nacy Pelosi said a thing once so Democrats are bad!”

Virulent racism ungrounded in any kind of moral system is a kind of self-interest, right? I mean, they’re halfway there!

It’s being a Patriot I’ll tell you what.

But who’s going to report you? If the victim is undocumented, then they’ll definitely be deported if they go to police, so they can either pay the bribe or trust that ICE won’t act on a tip from a crook.

“Cultural appropriation” identifies a specific phenomenon — members of a dominant culture profiting from the work of members of a disfavored culture without giving proper credit — that isn’t the same as cultural diffusion or exchange in general.

International IP law is hugely important.
