Right,i agree that if the Dem response was “see assholes, this is why we need single payer and will fuck shit up until we get it” then you’re right it would accomplish very little legislatively.

The problem is we’ve all seen this movie before. The Democratic establishment’s version of compromise is giving Republicans 90% of what they want and running on “Well, it’s not the worst possible outcome” which interests precisely nobody.

Sex trafficking is a major plot point in the Wire’s second season and parenting is a running theme throughout the series.

Still less painful than a group bro-state exam.

I feel like the moral barometer might be different for most folks than it is for someone who thought hooking up with R. Kelly was a good idea a year ago.

Right? That Chappelle show sketch is about 15 years old now.

I don’t see anything. Kelly seems to have learned enough from his brushes with the law that he’s sort of the human equivalent of putting your hand in someone’s face and saying “Can’t get mad, I’m not touching you!”.

I think this raises an interesting question about public broadcasting in general and what we want out of a public broadcasting institution.

Isn’t that just a dorm?

But asking them to only hang out in unpopulated areas? May as well ask them to march in order through open fields as if they were an army in the 1700s.

That’s absolutely what you’re doing by insinuating that any civilian casualties in war are unacceptable. Any country running their military that way would be utterly incapacitated by a guerilla force hiding among a civilian population.

It’s not a question of retaliation, it’s a question of whether or not what you’re doing will end the war and bring an end to deaths on both sides. The US didn’t nuke Japan because of Pearl Harbour, they dropped those bombs because the alternative was a large scale invasion of the Japanese mainland which would have…

That’s still horseshit. The German civilian casualites on the Western Front in WW2 dwarfed the numbers suffered by the US and the UK.

The worst thing about the representation of women in film at his year’s festival? All of the female roles were played by Jared Leto.

Exactly. Terrorism is the deliberate or indiscriminate targeting of civilians in the service of a larger agenda. The Columbine killers weren’t terrorists even though they made a lot of people afraid.

This. A million times this. I don’t have any specific animosity towards religious people but the fucking gall it takes for anybody from a mostly secularized society to stand up and say who isn’t or is a real follower of a religion based on the interpretation of the religion they think is friendliest is fucking insane.

Absolutely. I don’t think Fallon is as good as Letterman or Carson. But he does have his thing and he sticks with his thing so the issue isn’t cohesiveness.

I’m 100% certain I sat through this movie with a girlfriend already. Hillary Swank and Gerard Butler, right?

In my family my father had his kids in his 20's. My uncle had his kids in his 40's. My cousins are growing up significantly better off than I did but their parents seem exhausted and pissed off all the time.
