I hate the knee-jerk “don’t defend rapist” angle so many people have. To find out if you are defending a rapist, you have to first look at what’s being claimed to determine if they are, in actuality, a rapist. Simply asking questions, or considering things doesn’t mean you are defending a rapist. Humans lie, exaggerate…

It’s almost as if specifics matter when discussing statutory rape. 

Where in her statement did she say she didn’t give consent, or took away consent? Her statement seems fairly vague, and a lot of it hinges on her being 17, and there being a presumed power imbalance between the two. 

Who insisted on being congratulated? 

“how conservatism itself, namely who IS a conservative, is such a moving target.”

How are they proof there is no god? 

I don’t think you understand stats. Or humor. 

If you think white male Christians are the only offenders, you’d better not read up on Islam. 

“You can’t both be Christian and at the same time completely contravene Christ’s axiomatic first principle.”

You’re reaching. The virus heavily affects old people, who disproportionately are conservative and support the GOP. Your argument makes little sense. 

I think the issue is that “a large group of people” actually aren’t bothered by any of this. It’s nonsense.

Are we going to make the Dixie Chicks change their name too or nah? 

Look around. Are you sure they lost? 

I love watching all of you hypocrites bend over backwards to let Biden off the hook. If a GOP Presidential nominee was accused of rape, I highly doubt he’d get this sympathetic a treatment. It’s hilarious when you lot reveal how full of shit you really are.

“Gun ownership is very much a minority position these days in the US, and the percentage of folks with a handgun doing concealed carry is lower still.”

“Protesters aren’t demanding all forms of policing be completely and forever demolished.”

they think they’re being clever. 

I would say that you have an overly broad definition of “racist” behavior that includes views that aren’t inherently racist, though they are misguided. If someone gets offended because someone else says “Black lives matter”, and responds with “all lives matter”, it doesn’t automatically make them racist it just makes…

Cool

I’m sure you think that. I would contend that saying “all lives matter” isn’t inherently racist, though it obviously is misguided and misses the point, and that the people who say shit like that aren’t beyond reaching.
