So why can’t you brag about a system that both doesn’t have an elected head of state and doesn’t celebrate hereditary privilege? Why can’t you say that celebrating that sort of hereditary privilege is wrong and fucked up even if not every other system is perfect?

There’s a vast middle ground between having a monarchy and having your head of government also being your head of state. 

Serving in WW2 was pretty common across classes. Presidents Kennedy and the 1st Bush were both from wealthy and privileged families and both served in the actual armed forces.

I think it’s fine for Jewish people to say that propagating negative stereotypes about us is wrong and should stop even in music that isn’t made explicitly for us. We’re still out here in the culture and the idea that we’re insular or particularly wealthy are still notions that are absorbed and do actual real damage…

But keenly aware of how his video could be misinterpreted, and likely aware of how Marc Lamont Hill was fired from CNN in November for what were deemed racially insensitive remarks, LeBron apologized Sunday night.

I’m pretty sure Jewish people have the capacity to both be offended by this and other stuff. I’ve been Jewish long enough to know that there’s no finite limit to our capacity to complain about fucked up shit. 

Also, while we’re at it, the Lawyer thing:

How many Caucasians over the years have been killed or chased from their homes because of their relationship to squash?

I don’t really agree with you that those stereotypes are analogous. The relationship between Jews and finance has been a cornerstone of anti-semitic fervor and murder throughout the years(along with the “Jews are very insular and always back each other up” stuff that’s becoming increasingly popular to repeat in some…

I think they prefer to be called “heterosexuals”. 

You know, I never thought of it that way but you’re right. Miscavige is a monster and, upon closer examination, Scientology itself doesn’t bear a lot of scrutiny.

I don’t want to say that the lawyer has a point but if you think about it you’ll notice that if you rearrange the letters in the name Anna Merlan you can spell “Xenu Forever”

I really just want to know how Tsubusa’s hockey career is going. 

I know a lot of you are probably going to jump all over Rapaport but before you do, consider briefly what sort of miserably small existence it must be to be a 50 year old man who thinks the world gives the slightest shit about who his Cialis works for.

I once knew a gay girl who said that getting her partner to suck on her strap-on was part of some dom/sub thing they had going on which they both enjoyed.

Probably worth mentioning that while they heroically found the means to not pay this creep 120 million on top of the 500 million or so he’d already made, they also managed to clear themselves of any institutional liability in what must have been a very happy coincidence.

I would have said that her becoming a lawyer gives a bad name to sex-workers but only because I’m really hoping Jay Leno puts me on staff.

So, wait, I thought vapes were for weed but no? Because I just got a medical marijuana prescription and everyone is now trying to sell me a vape but they’re for nicotine? Or are there different sorts of vapes for different things to smoke? 

Yeah, ok, maybe he was a weird and borderline criminal obsession with teenage girls but on the other hand you have to admit that his movies are some terrible overwritten bullshit. 

The number of Yelp reviews that were along the lines of “They said they gave a dollar off a small soda if you mentioned them on Yelp but then they didn’t! Terrible Restaurant that doesn’t respect their customers!” were really breathtaking. Global warming can’t get here soon enough.
