Marriage is declining because women don’t NEED men anymore. We don’t have to put up with the average/bad ones who treat everyone like shit (and vice-versa with men no longer needing women). We only need to get married when we find one we WANT who also WANTS us. And in my opinion, unless you’re rocking my world in bed,…

So, since a lot of people seem to have forgotten, Mark Regnerus is a Catholic fundamentalist asshole who published a “study” that purported to prove definitively that gay people were not good parents. It was a trash study, and did a lot of damage because at the time it gave anti-gay-marriage advocates an excuse to…

The military isn’t the only group needing respect in this country (I feel they get way more than they deserve).

THANK YOU. With every reference to “protesting the flag /anthem” , the press is complicit in making Trump’s attempts at culture-war spin successful. The reichwingers WANT to make it about a flag/song, so they can say “it has nothing to do with race”. Don’t help ‘em.

I think people need to realize flags and anthems don’t have feelings so they don’t feel disrespected. Meanwhile we have millions who are born on an unequal level just because of longstanding structural racism. The military isn’t the only group needing respect in this country (I feel they get way more than they…

Please don’t call them “National Anthem Protesters”. They are protesting racially motivated violence by the state.

I have an uncle (my mother’s brother) that says things and makes jokes he knows are wrong. I don’t recall him ever using the “Sorry I’m not politically correct”argument before, but he’s definitely got the personality for it. He admits to being an asshole (and celebrates it). He gets a thrill out of making people…

To be fair you can kind of apply that to humanity in general. The solution, however, is to continuously strive for self improvement, not ceasing to exist.

Right?! It’s as if acting like a decent, respectable human being is now “politically correct.”

I think people have forgotten that being politically correct doesn’t mean you have to agree with people. It just means you should treat them with respect and decency. The left has championed political correctness for so long now that some people on the right think they need to be opposed to it in general principal.

this pathology is cancer. Maybe chemo yourself. We’d all be better off.

My standard response (or at least I hope my standard response if ever in this situation) is “What you call ‘political correctness’ I call ‘treating people with basic human decency’.”

My sister used to call it “just speaking my mind”. She continued to do this until one of her friends clocked her and no one would sympathize with her. Suddenly, she came to the conclusion that words have consequences.

I started telling them “You’re not politically correct? Then that makes you politically wrong...”
