I think the big difference here is that Bush behaved the way we expect a president to behave. Everything he said or did was reprehensible, but he didn’t make crude comments and he could build an effective cabinet (effective in the sense that it could carry out it’s purpose). He understood how to manage the office of…

It’s been a long time since I dated, but I would always pay on the first date and see if my date would offer to pay on the second. That always told me something about her character, and if she payed or offered to then that was a relationship I generally chose to pursue.

I proposed to my wife, but before I asked, I asked her if she would say yes if I did. She laughed and said she would. I circled back around a few weeks later and set up a super romantic date. She kept asking if I was going to propose and I denied it. Finally at the end, I propose. She laughed and said she already said…

I will never be able to see this movie the same way.

To me the point of a healthy debate isn’t so much to convince someone of your point of view, but more to make them understand it. I do not understand yours. You mention a sense of entitlement. Yes, many of us do feel a sense of entitlement regarding better access to internet infrastructure because we have collectively…

I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I think I understand what you mean. I’m not military, but I’m in a military family in a military town. We have had many frustrating brushes with the VA.

They will just blame Obama. When confronted with clear evidence they are wrong they will then start talking about how Hillary Clinton had an email server once.

Your comment about having to walk off injuries as a child resonates strongly with me. When my son was 5 he broke his arm. We absolutely couldn’t afford the ED, so we actually scheduled an appointment with a specialist instead (they were able to get us in same day). He performed the initial exam, said it was minor but…

I am so confused. Republicans, and Mitch McConnell specifically, were so proud of their stance as being the “party of no” against Obama. The media covered it ad nauseam and Republican voters thought it was the best thing ever. Why are Democrats so spineless? It’s reaching the point to where I consider myself liberal,…

I have thought about purchasing a gun a few times, but every time I seriously think about it, I see the price and think of all the funner things I could buy. That, and there is nothing in my house I would be willing to shoot someone over.

Thank you for sharing this and linking it to your other comments (which is where I saw it). Speaking of which, I completely agree with your other points. White liberal apathy needs to stop being a thing. It is something I know I have been guilty of, but it is also something I can change. There is no point in winning…

That’s why the suspension is only a week. Motherfucker told her to do it then suspended her for it. I mean, she’s still in the wrong for going along with it, but the POS manager who told her to do it? Fuck that guy.

Everytime someone cites knife-based violence in nations with strong gun laws, I always remind them that their argument only works if they think the guys with knives would be less likely to kill anyone if they had guns instead.

Not in the context DL used it in it doesn’t. Their argument was execution is inhumane, period and looking for a humane way to do it is fundamentally hypocritically. You can argue that point, but your reply doesn’t. I agree with your first comment that it is probably the least painful way to do it, but moreso I agree…

I would encourage anyone and everyone to read the article Paul linked about Clayton Lockett’s execution, especially those who are for the death penalty.

It isn’t you, our whole media and even educational institutions educate on this issue like it’s merely left and right. Just, and this really is my opinion, don’t let them steal the narrative. US politics aren’t polarized because it is extreme left versus extreme right. US politics are polarized because it is common…

I’ll take that deal, eh.

It isn’t really a circle. Left and right is an oversimplification of the political spectrum. It’s more like a grid, with anarchy and totalitarianism being the up and down. The more extreme right or left you get, the stronger of a government you support to the point where you eventually reach totalitarianism. For…

What kills me about what you said is that money basically can guarantee intelligence and competence. Coming from the kind of privilege these sentient slime molds ooze from they have access to the highest levels of education and tutoring available, not to mention the clout to move into positions where they can access…

People like you are the real problem man. Someone complains about being abused, and you have to find a way to make it about you. You’re the guy who screams all lives matter to BLM activists.
