Neutral: the environment is a very divisive issue, and it can be difficult to understand why. I mean, we’re all on this planet, so you’d think we’d all have some common ground there, right? (Pun absolutely intended.) Let me break down why I think a lot of conservatives seem to oppose the environmental movement.

It’s only a question of time before Trump is impeached & finally removed, his appointment was pulled off by puppeteers with agendas of their own. So far Trump has shown he is incompetent, poorly articulate, without charisma, lacking education for this role, snubbed world leaders instead of working with them, lied,…

“When will [I] remember that Albert Pujols was great?” Literally every time I hear the name. He was one of the top stars in baseball for my formative years, he’s about to reach a career milestone and to hell with how long it took to get there, and he played on 2 World Series championship teams.

No, she plead guilty to manslaughter and spent 12 years in prison.

She was still charged and served time, just not nearly long enough.

But he’s SO GOT DAMNED WOKE! If this thinkpiece was a person, it would be Rachel Dolezal. So would half my newsfeed on Facebook, just a Santa’s scroll of posts by white guys about the awful white people.

I love your post - thanks for writing it.

I grew up the same way as a white guy in a small West Texas town but I totally identified with the girls in the movie. I loved it. Still do and ill probably buy the Criterion version.

It’s funny, I never thought about the racial dynamics of Ghost World. Honestly I was just like Enid, I was a very sarcastic bitter teenager (but with brown skin and black hair and hijab). My friends and I would mock other students and we’d cuss out other people. (thankfully I grew the fuck up and I’m not like that…

“Whip smart” is one of those condescending terms men use to describe women they deem of above average intelligence.

Sorry, the white man says you should be offended.

And so it is that we now have to listen to some white man blabber on about the racial component of every movie ever made that has the nerve to not have a major black character.

uhhh.... I’m a South Asian Muslim immigrant and Ghost World was my #1 movie in 2001...shit, I watched it a thousand times on dvd and I was obsessed with the graphic novel and the website. I graduated from high school the same year the movie came out and I hated everyone with equal passion like Enid and Becky, and my…

“The Government can’t tell me what to do!!!”

They have a plant. In South Carolina. It already exists. And they did give them whatever they wanted.

If BMW was shopping around to locate a plant in the US, I guaran-damn-tee you that the local county/municipality/state would give them whatever tax exemption they wanted.

Oh, and it gets worse:

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahaha! Sure.

Oh- and BTW, VW, Mercedes and BMW all have massive factories in the US. Ironically the largest BMW factory is in South Carolina and we actually export most of those X5's and whatever back to the EU and elsewhere.

Yes, the unemployed American autoworker will sleep better at night knowing that BMW is building a brand new, fully automated, factory in their town... at a 100% tax exemption, of course.
