What a smug cunt.

I really, really, really love this. I keep coming back to it and laughing.

I think most fair minded people are turned off by the incredible selective morality when it comes to the ‘risky behaviours’ associated with HIV. Especially when those same finger-waggy people smoke, drink, eat red meat, fail to exercise and engage in multiple ‘risky behaviours’ with deleterious health consequences.

While the medical risk may be low, I would be insanely angry at someone who knowingly exposed me to that risk, however small it may be. If you have an STD, I damn sure think you need to disclose that to any partners, and I don’t disagree with laws that make it required. Even thought he risk may be low, it’s not your…

He doesn’t have AIDS.

She’s an idiot and I had/have little sympathy for her, but I thought her case was an excellent example of why I’m in favour of as little criminalisation of speech as possible.

As a non-emotional English person, my eyes nearly shot out of their heads when I read that section of piece.

You’re right; I was just interested because I’ve noticed Americans telling English (cis gay) men on how trans POC were responsible for the freedoms they enjoyed, apparently alluding to Stonewall (which, like you said, took place in the US).

The government should be in the business of protecting minority groups from the majority.

Hate speech laws will always be co-opted and redeployed against minorities. A diversity officer at Goldsmiths was arrested for Tweeting ‘#killallwhitemen’. We should be careful what we wish for.

Is that true the world over or is it just true for the USA?

Our chat shows are slightly more entertaining, irreverent and rude than the hour long commercially funded rim-a-thons that exist on US network TV.

cartoon histories that don’t serve the people who lived through the time the films portray (Nazi Germany, the Antebellum South), and serve up his lurid meta-exploitation to an audience that doesn’t know history, and as such are destructive to genuine dialogues on the legacies of the American slavery system and the…

they dont tip because tipping isnt a thing in their country which isnt quite their fault but still annoying.

But this is the part I don’t get — Foucault doesn’t deal with power structures (or at least, not in his genealogical and ethical writings/lectures/interviews). The common leftist academic criticism is that he fails to account for the existence of structural power, thereby ignoring class domination (for example). I…

I think this is the consequence of a subsection of students who have taken critical theory 101, barely understood it, and now believe that as language =/= power, viewpoints that you disagree with/annoy you/upset you are tantamount to tyranny. I love Frankfurt School scholarship (Theodor Adorno, for example, rocks my…

Because this is, unfortunately, one of the faces of modern feminism, particularly at universities? And it’s a face that the other, reasonable, grown-up faces of modern feminism need to punch.

On the plus side, they’ll hopefully all die.

Floyd Mayweather is a lot of terrible things, and because of that, he will never get respect for being a master boxer. This post, whatever it is, is proof of that, as now we have people who clearly know very little about boxing are now determining what makes someone a coward in the ring. He fights…

8.5/10 for your trolling.
