best response to this nonsense I read all day!!

Liberty is defined in stages, the first of which being “you can’t hurt someone else.”, and only AFTER that being “you can do whatever you want”.

These arguments are incredible. “Well, measles still happened!”

Yeah, but they didn’t sweep entire communities, killing some, ruining the immune system of many, and making many others sick.

Sen. @RandPaul on vaccines: “I still do not favor giving up on liberty for a false sense of security.”

Poor kid, you think you can play with the big boys, but when faced with actual data that proves that you’re just spouting bullshit, you go back to being a little crybaby and throwing a temper tantrum.

Of course you do. I’m not surprised by this. You just have that kneejerk reaction to people like them because you want to believe that there’s no fundamental difference between you and them. You want to believe that if you were given the same opportunities, you’d be just as successful.

This is probably the most reasonable post on the whole board.

But you can’t argue with Bret. I get that maybe you could ignore Bret, but he isn’t going away. So your options are: 1. Leave him to continue writing shitty columns or 2. Let him know he is a hack and heckle him from the cheap seats.

I stopped reading his reply when point 2 made it clear that his argument was “do you know who I am?!  I’ll make sure you never work in this town again!”

The Republicans on this committee are a bunch of amateur asshole thugs going head to head with a professional asshole thug, and they are absolutely getting their balls handed to them by Cohen.

Exactly. I came here expecting the comments to echo his sentiments. The deep spoon is hard to lick! Also, I find the edges of the spoon in question rougher than normal spoons and it hurts my tounge.

To Los Gatos Streamer Netflix: DEAR MR. I’M- TOO-GOOD-TO-RENEW-OR-ORDER-MORE-MARVEL-SERIES, THIS’LL BE THE LAST MONTHLY PAYMENT OF $11.99 I EVER SEND YOUR ASS.

Our opinions are not popular on this forum. But yeah, when you start doing the “blah blah blah” thing, you’ve stopped trying to make an actual argument to reach people and you’re just trying to give yourself catharsis, which feels nice, but is ultimately meaningless. Not many good people get on these shows, so when…

That view leads to a peculiar result. Outside of a limited number of cultures that only exist within relatively small marginalized groups, the rest have majority representation somewhere in the world. So that interpretation potentially turns any cultural exchange into some form of appropriation. What ownership right…
