if you drive like an asshole, the cops politely hand you an asshole tag.
if your car isn’t street legal, why are you driving it on the street?

no sympathy at all for stancers.

YES! Came here to say this.

I’m of the camp that less is more. Intros jumped the shark when we added them to the NFL and every televised college football game. Honestly, I can’t stand Hank Wiliams Jr and Carrie Underwood shouting at me, twice a week.

ALL OF THIS!

I just think it’s dumb that the left thinks the solution to lack of diversity is to complain that men are writing female characters, rather than demand that there be more female writers and that all writers write what they want.

If you want to give him that kind of power in your life then that’s on you.

Soundslike the system is working.

~~Who with any legitimate knowledge and interest in social justice in 2017, by the way, says “transgenders?”~~

Why is it assumed as default that someone is expected to have an interest in social justice? I think very few people are.

I’m tired of all writers being men but I hate this attitude of ‘only women can write about women’ and separating things into female stories and male stories and basically ‘stay in your lane’ as a solution to discrimination and lack of diversity.

Pretty much. Jez and the identity politics dictatorship left seem to think ‘stay in your lane’ is the solution to discrimination. As a liberal, I’m embarrassed to be associated with that bullshit.

He’s writing his point of view. It doesn’t have to be something palatable to you or me or others. The fact something gets published and then succeeds across a wide audience means the creator has connected with an audience that sees what s/he is seeing. Of course we don’t have to like it. But acting like it isn’t…

“Stay in your lane” also means women and minorities don’t get to write for anything but their own experiences, too.

you answered your own question with it being underfunded... and forgot how the UK is 5 times smaller than the us...

Because you know, thats whats important in today’s society. No need to be able to fully identify someone trying to travel to / from your country.

“It’s not just about what is morally and ethically right, it also makes sense just from a fiscal standpoint,” she said.

this is beyond stupid and a waste of money

I love how using the term female is sexist, but using male is fine

Yeah, someone deserves to die or lose everything because of how they voted.

Yup, you’re a terrible fucking person. Natural disasters don’t target climate change deniers, asshole.

Not in Houston.
