It's sad how people need someone to hate. I wish we could figure out a way to harness that energy and channel it constructively, or train it out of people. But it really seems innate.

I am an asshole.
Absolutely. My ultra conservative family still dismisses my liberalism because I’m “young.” But I get more liberal, in terms of what they would consider liberal, as the years go on. If I’m a 35 year old with a spouse, a mortgage, a buncha kids, have now been in the work force for 20 years, how much more of an adult do…
Well, look what happened with Elijah Wood. He didn't name anyone, and a day later he backtracked. Obviously, if someone with so much clout who has been famous for so long can't say anything before someone else gets to them, this shit goes deeper than we can imagine.
Exactly. I think it has much more to do with critical thinking education which is much more prominent in college than high school. And I think it perfectly represents why, in some places, the GOP is doing everything they can to hinder critical (or really just “challenging”) thought in schools.
Republicans have been true to the concept of fiscal conservatism in name only for as long as I’ve been alive. It’s propaganda that doesn’t have anything to do with their actual policies.
My little sis goes to a baptist college and will probably marry a preacher or something and I look forward to poisoning the minds of my future nieces and nephews with my left-wing feminist agenda.
If your friend was a true fiscal conservative, he wouldn’t be a Republican.
I didn’t know Feldman was so well spoken. I used to love “the Coreys” when I was younger. It must be so strange to have a child and realize how wrong some of the shit that was happening to you really was.
I like that most of the responses aren’t “Good job putting her in her place brah.” Small victories. :\
I think receiving the salary of the football coach for life might be a good start.
Burn it to the ground. It’s surprising enough she got a conviction out of a football player in Texas. Hopefully she gets fuck-you rich off of this and these football factories masquerading as places of learning might think twice before minimizing a victim of the environment they created.
Bea Arthur was a motherfucking queen
Yup, coercion and temptation are sweaty, grinning twins. A fourteen year old, especially one who’s feeling his/her oats and going through the changes of adolescence, wants to feel adult, grown, taken seriously, not treated like a “little kid.” So offers of drugs, of flirting, of photography, of sexual encounters, can…
Agreed. I think it’s an effective, practical argument for maintaining an age of consent. No one believes you’re magically endowed with Consent Particles on your 18th birthday, but understanding your own consent, best interests, and when you’re being coerced can only happen through years of social experience with your…
“...you can understand how Lori Maddox could have possibly developed not just a sincere desire to fuck adult men but the channels to do it basically in public; why an entire scene encouraged her, photographed her, gave her drugs that made all of it feel better, loved her for it, celebrated her for it, for years. You…
Not even close. They got fucking crushed in every phase of the game. 42-32 is just as lost as 49-15.
I remember teaching this during training at work, and so many of the men just got looks on their faces like "I've done that before."
ill preface this comment by saying i was born and raised in Massachusetts (spent 25 yeas in Boston and the South Shore.). This has to be the first time ever that the police have covered up for a black guy.
