To be clear, I agree women’s alcohol consumption stats (and many health indicators really), are headed in the wrong directions. I’m going to sound like an evangelical, but I blame workforce participation stress. It’s not an argument against working outside the home per se, but working for the man is stressful.

“If men started drinking 10% more whiskey it would be all over the news about men’s new drinking problem.” Funny you should say that. Drinking among moms/women in general is no doubt rising and a problem, but you gotta reach a bit higher to get to man-level drinking problems (men are about 3 million alcoholics in the

Corollary to your head on a swivel: watch the driver’s eyes and arm/steering wheel movements. You have to anticipate what a car is going to do and adjust accordingly. People do not use their blinkers consistently, and you need to know where the cars are going because like 75% of drivers have no idea where you are.

Wait, the Civic Type R is 300hp? Really?!? Hahahahahahaha. My BMW 335i, 2 years old, top o the line was $25k. What’s wrong with people?? It’s a fancy civic! A CIVIC!

If you’re going to weakly try to insult me, at least use the term correctly. Was that too “mansplaining” for you?

“Please do not forget that 53% of white women voted for Donald Trump. Never forget that.”
Thank you. I know the jezebel commentariat likes to blame white men for everything, but not every bad outcome is our fault. Some female politician introspection might be due if white women won’t vote for a white woman. 

I think you’re right that this is a widely help misconception on the left. I personally know people who voted for Obama and Trump, as odd as I find that thinking. My dad voted for (Bill) Clinton, Obama, and Trump (he probably would have voted for Sanders, given the chance). It was their populist economics/trade

Help enlighten me: as a white man, can he direct movies about women since he doesn’t understand their perspective? Was he wrong for directing a movie about black experiences, specifically of women (i.e. the color purple)? Is he worse for not directing movies about women, or would he be worse if he directed movies

We can all agree that Torch wins this hand’s down, right? RIGHT?!?!

My bad. You’re right - I was responding to the wrong person. That said, the industrial revolution kind of already dumped sufficient CO2 in the atomosphere to cause the polar ice caps to melt... so it actually makes sense to blame the robber barons of the post-civil war era (Tweed wasn’t a robber baron, but

I’m neither a fan of our current Congressfolks nor the current occupant of the White House, but “most currupt”? No way dude. Boss Tweed ring any bells? Tweed et al. stole about the equivalent of like $1-4 billion in today’s dollars during the civil war. Go look at his Wikipedia page. 1850-1900 probably has a dozen

This is all sorts of the right kind of crazy.

Ya know what? I go to church. I tithe. I pray. I don’t want a single cent of my tax dollars going to fund parochial schools. My kids can get plenty of religion on the nights and weekends, at home and at church. I don’t understand this fanaticism with religion needing to be in every aspect of our lives. I’d get

I see the Specialized logo in that car picture and Hayden’s bike match up. Wrap it up boys, I think we found our suspect car.

Here, this is much better.

Honestly, those Aventadors just remind me of overdone iPhone cases. Like if OtterBox designed a car cover. That Cobra though...

Oh my god, so many crackers in our car. We’d have candy too, but that gets found months later and eaten.

My kids are not allowed to eat in my leather upholstered BMW. Our minivan though? It’s like a Las Vegas buffet.

Every argument has assumptions and leaps... I’m not one to deny reality.

Fine, last point: Agreed, lots of variables. But one stat is up and the other stat is down. You said that by looking at gun stats you see that increasing prisoners don’t work. Well, gun violence is down (a lot) for some reason. So, either (1) increasing prisoners works, (2) they are completely not correlated
