Yeah, we could easily solve the problem by allowing people to sell their kidneys. If it is safe enough to donate for free, it is safe enough to sell. The only country that allows organ sales is also the only country without a waiting list, Iran. I would also add, that if you are rich, it is relatively easy to go to a…

Living donation in many ways comes down to whether you are lucky enough to have a loved one who is both a willing and medically compatible donor

comparing a mostly white nation with a population smaller than Staten Island to a nation over 300 million makes sense...

Right. Isn’t this what this is supposed to be about? The administration made up a b.s. story to help win an election. I’d like to think this would spark outrage from all quarters.

spinning out a lengthy conspiracy theory that Clinton deliberately hid what she knew about the attack.

Not to mention that our “awareness” has resulted in a distorted perception of prevalence.

To *certain* religious people, anyway. The anti-discrimination set seem to not be bothered by muslim misogyny, homophobia, and anti-semitism. They know the Duggars are easy targets.

I know nothing of the bill other than what is overly simplified in this article. Do we know McNairs exact reasons for opposing this bill?

The article says it. Solid logic. There isn’t one scrap of elaboration as to how that “protection” occurs. Opposing a government action is not the equivalent of supporting the problem the action is supposedly designed to address.

His actions are in concert with a general agreement that the ordinance appears to have been written by a cabal of dumbasses. It's been a shitshow by an otherwise competent mayor. Like some of the other large cities in Texas and other states, the city council is peppered with idiots. This has been a mess from the…

“No, but at least we’re trying...it makes us feel good. It really sticks it to all these religious people who have a moral objection to the normalizing of my previously deviant lifestyle. But now it’s awesome and cool and I have a RIGHT to shame people who disagree with me.”

When did McNair claim discrimination? He simply voiced an opinion and backed it up with a donation, something he’s legally entitled to do.

Yes you do. Otherwise you’d just raise $10,000 and donate it to the opposing side. The exposure is designed to warn others and make an example of a policy position that you don’t just disagree with, but view as illegitimate. This piece doesn’t address what the proposition actually is. It just says that opposing it is…

Sure. What’s wrong with being against a particular piece of legislation anyway? Isn’t it discriminatory to treat someone differently based on their opinions?

Because all legislation should be passed without challenge.

Yeah, yeah...I’m so upset that some guy doesn’t agree with my politics...We should get all upset and make him apologize for the horrific thought-crimes unheard of in our group-think tank. Hate Donation!

And I think you need to brush up on your history. I take it you belong to those people who prefer trial by battle, so that the local knight and rape your wife, kill your son and when you accuse him of said deeds before his lord, kill you for good riddance, proving his “innocence”?

After watching the commercial first and then the complaint, I hate to agree but, yeah, that’s some anti-Catholic imagery there. Focusing on a church ruin while saying, “It’s a shadow of a country we hope we left behind,”.......yeah, that’s not subtle at all.

Definitely he did a shit thing. But I question the wisdom in general (not specific to this case) of having formal lifelong consequences for actions undertaken at age 19, considering the consensus scientific understanding that mental maturity, such as it is, typically arrives around 25.

You’re a imbecile. Bigotry is bigotry.
