Yes. Perspectives that are shared amongst a wide group of people are called mores, which is what I am describing here.

You know what else someone should be able to do in a free society?

Take your star, you sonuvagun...

Because, depending on the reason, killing another human can be seen as a righteous and celebrated act, or at least a necessary evil. When we see something in media deviate from those ‘appropriate’ killings, such as in GTA like you describe, it feels like less of a deviant act than something has just about no…

Having boundaries doesn’t mean there’s a thought police out to get you.

Republican critics have claimed Elizabeth Warren was “pocahontas” more than she has claimed she was Native American. She said that her family claimed they had a native american ancestor although it may have been just legend rather than fact. This is as about a real “controversy” as Hillary’s emails. 

Humanity has experimented over the years with how to maintain forested areas in dry spots that are close to human habitats. The results of our efforts have been mixed, at best. The “let it burn” policy resulted in mudslides and, in some cases, loss of life and habitat destruction. The “suppress all fires” policy…

There was a semi-recent article (can’t remember the source, but maybe The Atlantic or The New Yorker?) talking about how, whenever it happens, Ex-President Trump is going to be a continuing nightmare too, and man did it make a compelling case.

Exactly: his reaction to the totally mundane and standard processes in Florida right now confirm everything we need to know about how he’ll handle 2020. And who knows what type of frenzy he’ll whip his cult into come election time. Ugh.

I don’t even want to think about 2020 yet, because for all this...everything, he’s the easy frontrunner. I have no idea who the Democrats could run right now that beats him. I could see Newsom running in eight years if his California run goes smoothly, but in terms of rallying behind one nominee in two years, it…

While I look forward to 2020 with some level of hope (especially after some inspiring wins and campaigns during the midterms), I also dread it for a number of reasons. We all know it’s going to be a brutal election cycle that will probably start sometime in mid-2019 whenever the first serious contender on the left…

This comment also applies seamlessly to Ben Roethlisberger’s career.

“there is an expression you often see on T-shirts and bumpers stickers that goes more or less like this: “Jesus Said It. I Believe It. That Settles It.”

Literally this dude is a big dumb idiot that shits on everything he wants and fucks everything he can get his hands on, and has always been given a pass because he was a rich white dude. That is THE DREAM for his base. They all want to be him, desperately, and they’re happy to see him shit on and fuck everything in…

Trump is the embodiment of the American Dream for a depressing number of people in this country. It’s not so much the money or power, but having enough of it that it can allow you to say an infinite number of stupid things without threat to your status or livelihood.

Its a racist issue because even if she had gone off on white boys for the same thing it is hardly likely that she would have called the police , therein lies the difference.

I got it hooked on my chair the other day and I was extremely embarrassed because, unlike my coworkers, I could not move independent of my chair.

I have a large ass. It gets in the way. I have had my ass grabbed in public, yes, and I’ll admit when something or someone inadvertently brushes it it does scare me for a second. But then, I would turn and see a kid, and not call the cops on him. If I saw his backpack, I would assume it was that first because…

Does she not know what having her ass grabbed feels like?

Great. Now they’re saying “white” like four year olds who just learned a swear word.

I fell out at “formal notification of grievance” though. I hate you Michael.
