While that stance is fairly no-duh for non-gun-nut regular people, for a celebrity so uncontroversial she had to manufacture a “bad reputation,” it’s pretty big.

It’s funny. Not my favorite, but I’ll watch it here and there.

Yes, those systems are the same as what we’re talking about. /s

What systems do you know that are more than “pretty good”? I can’t think of any.

Because of exactly what they say in the statement: they cannot afford the margin of error now that this law punishes the platform rather than the perpetrator. No system is perfect, even if their’s was pretty good.

I think that is a significant marker of that generation—particularly when we look at debt, entitlements, social security, the environment, etc. It’s…

Um, did you just refer to the queen, Janelle Monáe, as “that pop star”?

All you sad baby boomers who are hurt by the realities of how your generation has destroyed this country and are using your sad retirements (which subsequent generations will not get, thanks so much) to troll progressive, feminist blogs are going to be dismissed. Obviously.

Thanky!

Yes, definitely. Particularly my PhD in English, which I also got without reading. I’m sorry you are so sensitive about the incredibly obvious and, yes, sociopathic by definition damage your selfish, POS generation has done to this country. I mean, if you’re trolling progressive, feminist blogs in order to insult…
