Can he just be dropped off somewhere in Iraq and have ISIS take care of him?

Chait's fatal flaw in this article is not masking his derision (he is truly a smarmy fuck), making it easy to dismiss him outright on the basis of his white maleness. But as you say—he actually makes a valid point in asking who isn't participating? (He never says he's being silenced or denied a platform.) How many…

I don't see why that's NOT a legitimate argument, though. There are plenty of white dudes who write stuff that I agree with, but it's a completely natural tendency to think: "Who are you to define and represent my life when you know nothing about living in this position?" If some white dude wrote some stuff about race…

Fucking THIS. Also periodic reminder that the people who usually write in favor of identity politics or call out racism/sexism etc probably receive far more death and rape threats than the majority of people who have erred. Did anyone hear Lindy West's This American Life story from the other day? Jesus Christ.

I'm offended.

Hey, I'm sure he doesn't hate anyone. He just wants all the women and minorities to shut the fuck up and focus on real priorities, as defined by him, for their own good.

The un-ironic use of phrases like "political correctness" or "White Guilt" are tell-tale signs of a person's inherent racist tendencies. The author of that article is either one of those "too stupid to see I'm racist" racists or one of those "too cowardly to admit it" racists.

They want to take your rights away from you more than you want to keep them; at least that's the impression your tantrum leaves.

You know what? I'm so glad I've been lectured all weekend about how religion has no negative affect on people's lives because I might otherwise think that there is a link here.

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion on here but: to everyone who's saying stuff like "they didn't love their child so they have no right to grief" can really just stfu.

if there were any threats, it was from bigots for making some 'unatural/queer/blah blah' person.

You may be suffering from selective psychopathy then. Some parents are shitty for no real reason. They tend not to get death threats. These parents were shitty for religious reasons and now they've lost a child for making decisions that for most of us would be easy to make. For them, it wasn't. They made the wrong…

So why is Measure B the problem? The problem is other counties and states not having similar regulations. You might as well blame Chicago's reasonable (until recently) gun laws for gun deaths in Chicago when the issue was the surrounding towns and states allowed arms merchants to sell murder weapons willy nilly.

So what you're saying is if she didn't want her pictures stolen she could have bitten their dicks off.

This is a woman who has called black women nappy-headed hoes and has compared us to monkeys, she can make mistakes but she never seems to learn from them.

Actually, I think she just doesn't know what the hell she's talking about and isn't willing to acknowledge it.

No, that's not what it means, as I mentioned above, but you aren't really interested in dialogue, are you?

It's not really. I know rich people I would never describe that way, and poor people I would.

Of course it's all completely fictional, but I wouldn't be surprised if Angelina was bothered by Amal. She's gotten all this attention for being an "international human rights lawyer," which she is, but largely in the sense that she defends people accused of violating them.

Sometimes I dream about the day when I'll think "Wow, I haven't heard about that Kardashian family in awhile." Sort of like I think about Paris Hilton ever so often and then think how glad I am I don't have to read about her. To be clear, I understand I don't HAVE to read about anyone.
