Um, um, um, unfortunately, it's not true that Trayvon's family could sue in civil court. "Stand Your Ground" has provisions that protect "ground standers" like Zimmercoward from civil liability.

But one question I have is, why are you posting this long-winded personal-story "question" here?

Thank you for pointing this out! It is SO absolutely disrespectful to say "Obama." He is our president. President Obama. I really think the blatant disrespect is a covert race thing. No president has ever been so disrespected. It's awful.

But, "Obama" is first reference here. hwright is referring to, I am sure, the media's disrespect of our president. In my memory all the previous white-man presidents got called "President Bush" or "President Reagan" etc. — not just Reagan, or Bush, in the actual media of the day.

Okay, first of all, haha. If you are a dude, then you just made my case? Because your grammar is so horrifying that 100 percent of women could write circles around you. So, haha.

Ironlion, ALL of the problems men have with what you call "equality" stem from our patriarchal society. Men's problems do NOT stem from feminism or feminists. All the problems men have with custody, etc., come from patriarchal beliefs that women are better caregivers. Women's rights, the old ERA, and feminism in…

I don't think it is a 'zealot' opinion to believe that birth control is a medication prescribed by one's doctor and should therefore be covered. Are you SUUUUUURE your insurance "doesn't pay for medication unless there's a medical need?" Um, is Viagra covered? Wellness checkups like physicals? Preventative prostate…

What do riots have to do with mass murderers or spree killers? Two ENTIRELY different scenarios. Riots have NOTHING to do with a discussion about spree killers being almost exclusively white males. That's pretty much the point of this article — that mass murdering, unlike riots or domestic violence or other kinds of…

What do riots have to do with mass murders or spree killings? Riots are violence perpetrated by tens or hundreds or thousands of people. Riots result in property damage. Murder of many people is not the purpose of a riot.

Hahahahahah wait what? You have "several friends" who are gay? How absolutely SWEET and KIND of you that you "don't force [your] beliefs on them." Are you sure they "know where [you] stand" with regard to their lives, their marriages, the fact that just by existing, you believe they are sinning?

Oh really? Where do I live?

I have lived in several different states during my adult life, and most certainly do not live within 5 miles of where I grew up. Not even close. Also, what the fuck does your Coach purse comment mean? I'm truly unable to make any sort of sense out of it. What does a Coach purse have to do with anything we've been…

Here's the punchline: "DeathnTaxes" is a woman.

Wait, racist? Racist slurs? Who said I use racist slurs? I don't. And as I explicitly and clearly explained, I use the word "retard" in situations where a person deserves such a word. It has nothing to do with me feeling "safe." It has to do with two things: My desire to never use that word "at" a special needs…

Wait what? I "thinks it great" to deny a father the chance at being a dad? What? Where in anything I wrote did you get that idea? What? I never have written a word about the supposed "real" father of the baby. What does that have to do with my point that the murdered woman is not responsible for her own death?…

I have never, nor would I ever, call a special needs person "retard." I use the word, but not "at" special needs people. I am an actual nice person who uses the word the way it should be used: as an insult against cruel and stupid people. Never have I called a special needs person any kind of name. I have nothing but…

Wow. That's a truly depraved response — the baby is better off with its mother murdered at the hands of its father? Huh. How about you try that opinion out on your co-workers. Your boss. Your parents, your significant other? See how others respond to it.

I'm not a sad human. I am just a real person who is capable of hearing and speaking real actual words without getting all offended. The "r-word" is just a word. Retard. Retard retard retard. I am also a gay person who thinks "faggot" is also a pretty excellently hilarious word. We need to stop this crazy sensitivity…

Wait what? You are either a retard or a troll. "I am not blaming her, except that I am totally blaming her because women are 'not always best'" — WTF? I mean, really? Zero percent of the words you wrote make any sense whatsoever.

Um, so, the fact that you date assholes means, in your all-important opinion, that my Aspergers-diagnosed child shouldn't be allowed to have a diagnosis or receive medical treatment? Are you seriously that self-focused and cruel?
