I find the thought that the government should control what information or communications are allowed on the Internet TERRIFYING. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. That’s one slippery slope.

And when Al-Assad, Egypt, Duerte etc deems opposition are terrorists? What side will these sites take then? Armed struggle is a choice for some when there is no other, including in the past of our great nation. Will endorsement of drone strikes be removed? Will encouragement of troops after scandals like abu garib…

Still, it really does go for both ways. I hear it at least once every single time I’m traveling in Europe and I tell someone I’m from Texas. “Where’s your boots? Did you ride a horse to school?”

To be fair, and I say this as a person who grew up outside of London, and lives in Texas, most people who live in Europe think all Texans hav e cattle, and ride horses. It does go both ways.

I went to a soccer game last night and some jackass was screaming, “STOP WALKING, YOU’RE DISRESPECTING THE FLAG,” at people during the National Anthem. Yeah, and yelling at people is soooo much more better, guy. Flag fetishists are the worst.

“Why isn’t a fictional character, who isn’t American, all rah rah America draped in the flag head to toe? PC culture running amok!”

I’m European and a couple of years ago, when I was living in London, I met an American guy who was on a road trip through several countries and he told me how surprised he was that Europe wasn’t “more medieval” since that’s how he imagined it. I’m not kidding when I say that he was surprised that the Netherlands and…

To many Americans, there’s nothing beyond their own neighborhood. There’s just the other, out there, like places named Ubekibekibekistan, where there’s just... dragons... and the gays just spraying gay jizz everywhere.

But Trump and his family outsourcing jobs to China to make their cheap products to sell here is the most American thing you can do! Just ask Walmart.

“I think, nowadays, sadly, money trumps patriotism. Especially, recently, I personally feel like we’re not really very patriotic, the country, in a certain sense. They want these movies to succeed internationally, so they’re going to dial back.”

Americans have such a shallow interpretation of what patriotism means nowadays.

In my humble opinion she shouldn’t have apologized...

So Saddam had two ears and a heart?

In my humble opinion....Alec ain’t wrong.

Alright, fair enough. I’m wary of that analysis though from a sitting politician (especially a Republican) because it sounds like it assumes adulthood means meeting a lot of arbitrary signifiers (marriage, kids, buying a house) rather than a more substantive definition (recognizing when to put others’ needs in front…

I assumed that’s why they gave him a show. That’s his whole damn brand.

Maher is an idiot for using that word, and he should’ve apologized yesterday, but I hope he doesn’t get fired.

1) What I think people should do with their time if we had Universal Basic Income and no one needed to work for money more than 10 hours a week.

Do you want to go for a walk?

That restriction is so odd to me. Like they’re just flexing their muscle to see how far they can push their congregants.
