I can only assume it’s because like a rather large amount of Christians, he doesn’t seem to think that Christ intended for his followers to, um, actually follow him, in word and deed.

I have no idea why cops would ever want more guns out there either, especially these days when they’re apparently taught that they’re constantly being targeted for death and every single day could be their last (which is statistically BS)

I felt this film was less about trying to depict the Old West and more about telling the sorts of stories found in the fictional Old West of the Coen’s childhood. And that fictional Old West had no African Americans, or Chinese, few if any Mexicans, and of course, no Native Americans, only bloodthirsty Injuns.

It’s an explanation that fits on a bumper sticker. Those are popular.

I’ve noticed that American conservatives tend to be vastly ignorant about communism, socialism, and the differences between them. And they get hung up on labels. Like how the National Socialist German Workers’ Party has socialist in their name, so are what socialism is all about, despite their policies generally…

It’s been a long time since I saw any Republican genuinely try to “work together” with the Democrats in the US (George HW Bush at the least- dunno paid less attention then) and I’ll require at least half that many years of seeing them actually do it before I believe any statement claiming such an intent. The SOP for…

They’re there to justify the fears of conservatives.

At first, my thought was “maybe they were just waving”. After all, some of those are pretty damn sloppy for salutes. But if they were waving, they wouldn’t all be straight, or at that same angle....

I don’t think Earl was casting any doubt about Trump being an asshole. He literally wrote, “Maybe it’s just that Trump is an asshole.” Trumps assholery is a noted fact, which serves as a possible explanation for his shifting opinions on European military readiness.

I’d say the reason is similar to why none of the banking execs directly responsible for the economic crash in 2008 went to jail.

I, a Canadian, have never waited longer than 2minutes to vote. Ever. The stories from the US that happen every single election just baffle me. 

While not a religious scholar by any means, I’d argue that both Mormons (the Church of Jesus of Latter-day Saints) and Rastafarians (Jah is a shortened form of Jehovah) are Abrahamic religions, and are of course much younger than the other three.

Why would anyone tell Harris that Islam is older than Christianity? Christianity began in 1st Century AD, while Islam began in the 7th century.

Pretty much. They assume it’s what others are planning because it’s exactly what they’d do in the same situation. The concept that others might feel and act differently from them just doesn’t register.

Oh, but this is a lie that is technically true. He meant shoot, but he didn’t actually say it.

You forgot to mention that while going on welfare, they’re also taking jobs that homegrown citizens are apparently begging for.

The problem is that “vote them out” isn’t a solution to the problem of people not voting. I wonder if part of the problem is single- issue voters. The GOP has a lot of those. There are a lot of people who are anti- immigrant, or anti- muslim, or anti- abortion, or whatever. But if the GOP had to rely on tgeir voters…

It’s no necessary to throw a serious, injurious punch to send a message.

What gets me is that people don’t seem to understand just how inefficient voter fraud by impersonation would be. A person would have to travel to a different polling station than their own to do so- unless they’re seriously envisioning someone changing clothes and voting at the same polling station multiple times.…

More amazing is how shitty they are at this, yet still so effective at it. It’s just astonishing how people could believe them when they might as well be wearing a t- shirt that says “I am definitely lying!”
