Of course we discount it because you won’t physically die like with food or shelter, but it’s no less important.

I always wonder if men who think they “face constant loneliness” and who “are frustrated since it can seem as if the women who are their ‘equals’ are uninterested in them” have ever stopped and honestly asked themselves, “Am I an asshole?” For example, there are a bunch of red flags in your post where, if you were a…

How is she being harassed?

I’m struggling to figure out how, in a relatively low stress environment, something like this could happen by “accident” without a pretty egregious violation of each one of those rules.

If the guy was cool, he’d prank Burneko by tricking him into meeting the guy, then him and the guy would viciously rip Burneko for some other shit, and then he’d make a bunch of money on Burneko’s book.

What is the point you’re trying to make?Because the point being made by the statement you objected to is that the prison system is unnecessarily destructive, and that it unnecessarily punishes a lot of innocent people. Yes, these people did something wrong, and yes, they should face responsibility for whatever they…

True enough, and that’s before you even get to the immigrants!

I mean, aren’t you required to demonstrate proficiency in English to become a citizen?

Then why did you mention them? They were complete non sequiturs?

Fair enough, but I think it’s just as dumb.

That doesn’t make a difference. In America, not learning English is not a crime. It is not a crime because it shouldn’t be. It is not disrespectful not to learn a language. Beating your wife, or discriminating against gays, whether crimes or not, are actions that affect other people. Whether someone makes an effort to…

Whose “idea” is that? Regardless, you are right, some don’t. So what?

To whom is it disrespectful and why? I am a lifetime US citizen fluent in Ebglish. I do not consider it disrespectful at all.

I’m struggling to understand why the fuck anyone would care whether someone learns the language? Do you consider it some kind of personal affront that a small percentage of people with whom you’ll have little to no interaction don’t speak your native language?

It’s not about being lazy. Learning a new language as an adult is very difficult. If you are not being isolated by your lack of knowledge of the local language, why spend the time learning it if you don’t want to?

Oh my. Didn’t this website just declare the end of hot takes a few months ago?

Yeah, this is such a stupid fucking controversy every time it pops up. It is really none of our business whether someone who comes to the United States to live speaks English. That is not a requirement to stay here (nor should it be). Learning a new language as an adult is very difficult. It is between that person and…

Do you guys just have a template story to work off of to report on the NFL’s incompetence, and fill in the details as the story dictates?

You are silly. She’s not a fan because the Russian GOT CAUGHT. King hasn’t been caught yet. This, no hypocrisy!
