Well, Spain still had a fascist government until ‘75, so....

You forgot religious intolerance... well at least for the original pilgrims.

Tell ya what, if they start to discipline the police for covering their badges and names- something that happens more frequently than it should, particularly at protests- then I’ll say they have a moral leg to stand on. Similarly, arresting people for filming them should be cracked down on.

Nearly every slimy politician I’ve ever seen gives me that vibe- conservatives seem to be the worst offenders. An example would be Stephen Harper, former Prime Minister of Canada. I’ve never seen the man in a debate that he even remotely won by any objective standard. His arguments were weak and nonsensical and he…

How would taking down Confederate statues compare to ISIS? I would argue that the Confederacy itself compares much more directly to ISIS, both being rebellions against lawful governments.

Well the person responsible was indeed fired. This training is to make sure everyone in the company’s been told. And of course to make sure we all know it.

“Categorized as a gateway drug.”

I dunno, there’s lots of bad unions- the toothless ones that put no effort into helping members, the greedy ones that seem to be more interested in collecting dues than anything else...

I don’t think there was anything Hillary could have done or said to win over Trump voters, so why not call them what they are to their faces?

Okay... and the closest that might apply is “not working properly”. Except that the government is working properly, exactly as it was designed to, whether or not you like the design itself is immaterial.

And of course people will be too fucking stupid to look at the root cause of what’s happening and just take Ryan’s words at face value.

The fact that it’s operating “as intended” as you correctly put it, is further proof that the system is broken.

Whether you pay private insurance companies or you pay the government to insure you its still gonna cost the same.

The warning about false news stories would be fine if it weren’t for some of their other “must run” stories being blatant examples of the very fake news they’re warning against. It’s the pot not only calling the kettle black, but claiming to be green at the same time.

So, when I wrote

McDonalds is cheaper and tastier (to poor taste buds) than buying quality ingredients with which to cook, which also of course requires time and energy.

Beans and rice, while a touch boring, can go a lot farther than even low grade, inexpensive ground beef.

I would think “making people uncomfortable” would be a major point of such a memorial. If a memorial to the victims of an atrocity fails to make you uncomfortable, then there’s something wrong with you.
