Or... conversely, just because you so desperately want there to be a racist motivation so you have something to rail angrily against doesn’t mean there is one.

If I find poop in my toilet, I don't think twice about it. But if there's poop on the kitchen table, that's a little more surprising and I should probably start to panic.

Not callous — just unfortunately accurate. Violence in the middle east tends to be underreported because most Americans (completely unfairly) think of that region of the world as one constant blood bath so they tune it out. Things that make us feel unsafe or at risk (shootings and bombings in seemingly genteel…

And the attacks in Turkey got more attention than ones in Yemen. It boils down to where people expect attacks and how likely people in the U.S. are to have travelled to or know people from those areas.

BINGO!

This seems sort of callous but I don’t think bombings in countries where we associate turmoil drives clicks/traffic whatever in the US. Where something happening in France on Belgium, where American tourists are more likely to go, will.

Honestly it’s pretty simple. Bombings in places like Beirut and Istanbul are expected. That perception may be right or wrong but regardless of that, it’s the driving factor in coverage.

People care more about things that a) affect them and b) remind them of themselves. This isn’t shocking. America is a country that is also the size of a continent: someone in Maine being informed about what is going on in Nevada, someone in Alaska reading up on Hawaii, is geographically far more diverse than someone…

A large orange, left-to-right-moving object?

It’s because they are getting PAID to make a scene. Cash money.

That’s just the thing. A large portion of the protesters don’t have anything better to do. And it’s easier to complain, protest, blog, etc. than it is to actually run for election or volunteer on a campaign.

Statistics show that states with Republican leadership have lower unemployment rates. Democratic parties have…

If you go to a political rally with the sole purpose to protest, you are part of the problem.

You have the legal right to be there and support the messaging of the candidates.

The short answer is NO, unless you are a obnoxious protester, in witch you may deem it "worth it" but keep in mind you may get hurt or arrested so be careful...

You have the right not to act a fool. Protest with a moderate amount of self control. A protest and a riot are 2 different things, yet it is very easy for one to quickly turn into the other.

As a nose blower, I am deeply offended by your absolutist view of booger related protocol.

Ask Trump. I certainly prefer Clarkson.

Going to have to do more than stomp your feet. Most of what people seem to claim is ‘hatespeech’ is just stuff they dont like because theyre fragile snowflakes.

Please, in today’s climate if I wrote an article about the proper method to pick your nose, someone would get offended and call it hate speech.

wahhhh, someone said something I didnt like!
