That’s some mighty fine cognitive dissonance there, chief.

“Still, there’s debate over whether the video of the incident released tells the full story about what could’ve incited the women accused of assault.”

Aren’t you denying someone a job opportunity based solely on their place of birth.

Meh. On the surface of it, I don’t really care about the poor prisoners’ fee fees. I get that prison populations are minority over-represented but, other than that, is there a reason this is particularly insensitive?

“If you don’t see why the candidate I support isn’t the best... well, there must be something wrong with you or you just don’t understand what’s best for you.”

It can be a regional thing. Dear would be condescending where I live too, but Love wouldn’t.

I think it’s disingenuous to label all GOP as bigots and racists. There are people there who are good, honest people who do great work in communities because they believe in ‘family values’ a phrase tainted by so many that use it hypocritically. Just because they don’t agree with (for example) me on social issues,…

Yeah.... this is the kind of joke that’s hilarious until it very suddenly isn’t any more.

I think what scares most of the GOP establishment is that the true republicans, the ones that honestly believe in the sanctity of the constitution and its amendments, have felt their voting base believed the same. They’ve now seen that their voters are voting in droves for someone who honestly couldn’t give a shit…

One, America is not fascist. Two, you diminish the struggle of minorities in America by comparing representation at awards ceremonies to the organised extermination entire races and minorities of people.

Wait, we’re invoking the Nazis now?

Soccer is not white dominated. It’s pretty evenly represented between hispanic, white and black players. Rugby also pretty evenly matches the ethnic makeups of the countries (primarily Commonwealth) of where it is popular. 7 of the All Blacks squad are Maori for example.

Well, it’s not like a police officer can see someone walking down the street and tell he’s a catholic or a jewish person, can he?

Well, they can’t be president. There’s always that legally-sanctioned discrimination.

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from being on Jezebel, it’s that willful blindness when it comes to sexual assault isn’t that shocking. Dreadful, yes.

He was a local celebrity in my area (slightly before my time, I have vague memories of Jim’ll Fix it), since this new broke, my parents told me he had a reputation in the area of hooking up with lots of young women, but the reputation was young women not girls.

I don’t think that was the reasoning behind it. I assume we’ll here more about the reasoning in a few days. But a) I don’t think the BBC ever thought it would be able to hush this report up and b) firing a massively popular personality is the exact opposite of burying something.

I never actually learnt latin, I only remember the phrase dulce et decorum est from the poem of the same name.

I’ve been called worse. I don’t really mind. Plus he/she has been civil to me, at least.

Lots of people who can swim drown. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t teach them to swim. This metaphor is turning out to be surprisingly sturdy.
