You may think "what is the world coming to?", but if we as a collective species are unfortunate enough for you to still be a living member 30-40 years from now, you're gripes about people of colour and your "mew mew mew"-ing about how unfairrrrrr it all is will be humorously antiquated. Right now, you seem like a

Aww boo-hoo, poor white people! It's not enough that they have every advantage just given to them, they have to be protected from bullies too!

Oh noes! White people can't whitewash other cultures anymore! Such a shame white people have no culture themselves to fall back on during these tough times.

Psshhh yeah, pop music is soooo lame-stream, amirite? I only listen to the digestive sounds of Eastern Caucasus mountain elk (transmitted directly into my brain via electrodes because I want to hear it even before my own eardrums do).

Because the Daily Mail basically pre-writes stories like this for maximum click-bait-iness - all a Jez author has to do is paraphrase it and add a new stock photo.

I don't have anything to add - you've put into words everything that disturbed me about this saga, and raised some issues about how I react to trans stories/people/concepts (in terms of trying to relate them to a "binary" that isn't really fair or relevant). I just want to say a big "thank you" for writing this - I

I'm sorry, but criticising my tone when there is a creationist-level of wilful scientific misunderstanding going on in this article doesn't really make much difference. If me parroting back to you exactly what this article and the comments sounds like seems a bit absurd, it's because my source material is absurd.

Yeah! And all this global warming bollocks is getting out of hand too! Temperatures are suppose to be rising, but North America had a polar vortex the other week, and if I know anything about words and temperatures, "polar" means "cold", not "warm"! Why is BIG SCIENCE lying to us?!

Shhhh! Don't you know that this is just crackpot-science-propaganda meant to...help Republicans or something? I mean, I know this stuff has been studied and published in reputable peer-reviewed journals and what-not, but can we really trust science - it's all just "theories" after all. The contributing factors of

But what is this propaganda for/of, though? It's perfectly reasonable to study whether certain environmental and behavioural aspects can influence foetal development, and if a study is conducted properly (which we can assume it was, if it was published in a peer-reviewed journal) we can discuss the results with a

I disagree with you, mainly because a moral judgement cannot, by definition, be "absolutely true". Calling someone's beliefs "pompous" isn't really much better, to be honest.

Again, that's a moral judgement - you do what you think is right, I'll do what I think is right. You shouldn't call people who disagree with you "pompous" though, especially if you want to change their minds.

So let me get this straight. You're going to continue to be complicit in the torture and suffering of sentient beings because a. you want to spite an organization that, however much you might resent its tactics, exists for the sole purpose of preventing cruelty, and b. because you believe that your personal pleasure

I have no problem with a vegetarian diet - I eat meat probably twice or three times a week, sometimes more if I'm out or about if I fancy it. But I could happily live just on veggies - all my favourite recipes are for vegetable mains and side dishes, and I will do anything for decent falafel.

You do you, I'll do me, but I think when PETA is the loudest voice in the debate and they have such a voice because they continue to exclusively use female bodies as props for activism, I think it's fair to offer them criticism. If the non-crazy organisations had half the presence in the debate that PETA has, we

What is a Detroit lion? Is it a species, or like some kind of slang term?

This. I actually think the paintings are pretty good for a guy who hasn't really had much time to practice for the last 20-30 years, and it's nice to see a (former) US politician actually retire from public view for once, rather than hang around like a ghost-of-congress-past (*cough*Newt*cough*).

You nailed it.

As long as you know that I feel sorry for you and the partners you use to make yourself happy, I'm okay being as far away from agreement with you as possible.
