You’re absolutely adorable. “I’m not a trauma surgeon....survive head wounds caused by gunshots” —> this is the stupidest comeback you could have possibly mustered. Jesus Christ.

Its hilarious that fusion.net publishes an article about false equivalency (which was built on a completely false/circular logical structure) and suddenly everyone is an ‘expert’ in false equivalency.

“I find it to be so infuriating when people get stuck on the first page of the book....and never get to the other 300 pages of the book” —> That means that, by definition, the first page of the book needs to be rewritten. That is the entire point here; Kaepernick is trying to draw attention to a cause, but he did it…

I’m genuinely not trying to lecture him or deny him agency b/c of his background and social status; more power to him. Kaepernick is a really good example of why the whole concept of ‘privilege’ generally is bankrupt, but that is a conversation for another day.

Nah, Harbaugh is doing a bad job articulating what a lot of people find uncomfortable about Kaepernick’s sudden political wokeness: It comes off as incredibly disingenuous and “oh oh oh, ME TOO! I WANT TO PROTEST TOO!”

Another important element here comes from the “you’re not stuck in traffic; you are traffic” school of human interactions: pause to think for a second and ponder if there is something that somebody else could tell you that would change your mind.

You can see this real time on the current season of Hard Knocks. Fisher is a bad coach, but I never realized what a group of complete clowns the whole Rams organization is.

You are sooo getting banned for disagreeing

.

I’m going to also offer a very real and practical application of a bad precedent:

There is a very real dark side to allowing for completely fluid gender self-identification, and women will, without equivocation, bear the brunt of the unintended consequences. This issue is far more complex than just looking at it as ‘these poor person are being denied a basic civil right.” Maybe the years of…

So a bunch of 20-something Jez writers spent an afternoon riling up a bunch of teenagers for a snarky article? And you all appear pretty proud of yourselves. What’s that saying about good comedy punching up, not down?

¡Gracias por su respuesta! (kidding) You are right - in all regards.

I think there’s an underwater swastika in the video from 0:58 through 1:01?

I agree with you fully, and I appreciate your well thought out answer. However, I think you are kind of demonstrating my point by giving a balanced and nuanced view that takes into consideration cultural, racial and social histories instead of simply screaming “RACISM!!!!” and being done with it, which was the full…

Like anyone at Gawker Media is going to willingly overcome cultural ignorance when presented with the opportunity to reflexively scream RACISM!

His quest was to destroy the Clintons in anyway possible. If Broaddrick was even slightly believable, he would have been all over it. A credible accusation that a sitting president is a rapist? That’s political gold.

Your argument is best summarized as: Bill Clinton raped someone, and Hillary’s pro-woman response is to do nothing at all? How does that make sense? At this point, if Hillary did not know about Broaddrick, that would be indicative of a remarkable level of incompetence (Ken Starr brought this up 20 years ago).

“I still fail to see how this somehow became Hillary Clinton’s fault” —> That is the whole point of the article. I love the Biles-esque layers of mental gymnastics buried in your answer.

I like the hustle. It seems more than some others, Ashley understands what it means to ‘Get Yuuuuge and Get Out’.
