It is so disturbing how far the pendulum has swung. If we really want to see shit change, shutting down conversation is the exact opposite. Matt Damon may have some awkward man-splaining moments but he is basically an ally. Several years ago there was a video of Damon ripping apart some idiot reporters while attending…

Came here to say this. His performance won’t be topped by JT or anyone else.

So true! We are the same person!

I am totally with you: we do it for the glory. Being the only person in a room that knows the answer is the best feeling in the world. And the worst is talking your team out of an answer and being wrong.

What sort of trivia system only gives one drink for first place? I play in Portland for Last Call and we get $30, $20 and $10 for 1, 2 and 3rd place.

Well then you are not part of the we I am referring to. I am talking about (and thought I was being clear) liberals who take the kind of stances that I describe. You don’t hold those views and would be being intellectually consistent if you believe in the things you say you do. That is a good thing.

Is that really the appropriate classification system for crimes? Just because a crime could conceivably be considered as justified in some cases, we treat it differently? If the only time that liberals (myself 100% included in that) supported caution in condemning someone of an offense where there was a claim of…

Second out of 12 teams last night! Suck it!

Do you know how awesome it is to not have to pump gas in the freezing rain? Or to not have your hands smell like gas? Also, jobs! I don’t know why anyone would WANT to pump their own gas.

We, as liberals, seek redemption in the criminal population at large. We highly scrutinize the behavior of the police when they are accusing someone of a crime. We don’t believe in the death penalty. We are against excessive sentencing. And all of that goes out the window when we learn about a crime or bad behavior of…

Statistically, that isn’t true I don’t think. I recall reading somewhere that the recidivism rate for sex crimes isn’t much different from other crimes.

Newborns do not languish in group homes or shitty foster families looking for cash. A lot of people wait a very long time and jump through hoops to adopt a baby. Cops shouldn’t be able to jump the line.

Right? What if Allah told him to take the baby? Would that still count as an ultimate letter of reference?

Did he ever say that God spoke actual words to him?

Yup. I am biased against big families but a very young couple with 4 kids should not be able to jump the line simply because the cop found her.

There is a difference between people feeling God in their lives and literally hearing words spoken from the lips of God.

The mother should have been put in inpatient care until the birth and given a chance to get herself clean. The baby would have been placed in a foster family (infants don’t go into group homes) and if the mother was able to get her shit together, she should have been given a shot at raising her baby. If that did not…

Thisthisthisthisthisthis! If the 27 year old couple with 4 kids wants to adopt a child, they need to get in line with everyone else. This wasn’t a stray dog.

Even newborns born addicted are highly desirable to couples who want to adopt. In this situation, it is quite likely that the baby would be put in a foster family and then later be adopted if the mother was unable to get and stay clean. This would happen through the normal process, not just taken away and given to a…

Wait, what? I think that the consensus is that she is very much in control of her brand and that it is thriving. Regardless, you think it is not only okay but a good thing that this woman abused her trust for financial gain? That is kind of gross, even if you don’t like the queen or the monarchy. This is not a whistle…
