Huh. It’s almost as if policy and patriarchy dictate this stuff and not the you-go-get-‘em determination of individual women.

>I kind of want to leave the church because of shit heads like this.

I am not Catholic, but my theory is that if there is a loving and benevolent God, we totally did not understand what she/he was trying to tell us and just went off and did our own thing. Perhaps we are not God’s children. Perhaps we are God’s cats. God says, “Love thy neighbor,” and we hear, “Knock that full water…

I live in a super-Catholic country where abortion is 100% illegal, even in cases of rape and incest, unless the mother’s health is at risk. Most recent heart-breaking case - a pregnant 13-year-old (raped by biological father), pleading and suicidal, asking to end the pregnancy. Counsel is trying to argue on the basis…

I can’t express how much it pisses me off that we are literally going to destroy the planet we all live on and condemn ourselves to an unimaginably catastrophic future just to subsidize the employment of a handful of idiots who supposedly don’t believe in welfare or government interference in the free market. Sorry…

Goldangit yall know them good rural Murrican God-fearin’ Krischun Trump voter folks have had it HAWRD and deserve HANDOUTS and to not have to LURN because THE BAAHBLE IS ALL YEW NEED TA READ GOLDURNIT!

And renewable energy is a growing industry with actual jobs. But the goal is to keep these people out of work so that politicians can constantly dangle the empty promise of growing an obsolete industry.

I mentioned this in the coal thread above, but it’s not really a coincidence that coal mining jobs are pretty much exclusively given to white men to the exclusion of all others, unlike the jobs in factories making renewable energy sources, which tend to hire a bit more diversely.

I think I saw the same article. Natural gas is more plentiful and cheaper. People aren’t building more coal power plants because they are building natural gas power plants

Yeah, well, adapt or die. My dad moved every three years for his job; I went to eight schools by the time I graduated from high school. When we complained, my dad would point out that what we wanted didn’t matter; what paid our bills did. They chose to not get an education, they chose to not move—they made their beds…

Also, most of the coal workforce has been eliminated with strip mining. Coal is not the employer of Appalachia as the coal industry would like you to believe.

How dare you recognize the industry has been in decline for 40+ years and the coal miners who voted for him:

It’s a great job for the people who own and run the mines and processing plants, and I’m guessing that’s who 45 is pandering to with all his yammering about coal.

You’re not wrong, but people hate change, especially when it requires effort on their part. I have in-laws in the dwindling auto industry, and the tenacity with which they hang on to it instead of pursuing new ideas is a bit breathtaking. They’ll go down with the ship and call themselves American Patriots® before they…

Getting rid of environmental regulations to save coal jobs is like getting rid of animal abuse laws to save the horse and buggy industry when cars were invented.

Also if their physical appearance pleases them. Dudes like this claim they can’t listen to some of us because they’re distracted by the fact that we look too fuckable, and then turn right around and claim that they can’t listen to the rest of us because they’re distracted by the fact that we don’t look fuckable…

^^^ every time someone says this (seriously) Tomi Lahren gets an abortion....uh, wings. I meant wings.

Remember when someone described Roger Ailes balls as looking like old hamburger meat (During the sexual misconduct allegations)? That’s how I imagine most of these guys to be. Nasty, small-dicked and generally repulsive when their clothes come off as though Hieronymus Bosch was using their nether-regions as…

These men, these trash piece of shit men like O’Reilly and Trump, love to insult women’s looks. They think it’s like a shot to the core or something. That something so trite is cutting or even witty.

Maxine Waters is a national treasure and hero. Her vote against the Iraq War Resolution in 2002 will confer upon her a legacy of being one of the few politicians of the era of courage and conscience.
