As someone that works with financially disadvantaged people for a living and have to constantly hear about people taking advantage of public assistance can we please break these numbers down?

I’m sad, but not surprised. Men: white, black, brown, rich, poor, powerful or underlings all of them (yes, ALL men) are socialized from birth to give short shrift to women as human. Women are devalued and treated as cheap prizes at best or convenient holes at worst. We shouldn’t be more than passive pretty baubles to…

“This is silly. And inaccurate. Appeasement would have been 1938-1939. In 1945, we were killing tens of thousands of innocent Japanese as collateral damage and to signal our Soviet allies that we had superior weaponry, remember?”

I’d heard a few things about Freeman over the years, so while disappointed, I’m not shocked. The only thing that really surprises, at this point, is that #MeToo has somehow bypassed men like Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty. Given their known antics and close association with men like Polanski and Hoffman, it amazes…

Meh. He’s already dated his grandchild. This isn’t shocking.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. Ever since that business with his step-granddaughter (may she rest in peace), I’ve given him the side-eye.

I keep waiting for some shit to come out about him. If it does, I truly am done.

Tom Hanks is the only one left

I remember saying that if I ever find out that Morgan Freeman and/or Mr. Rogers #metoo’d anyone then we’d just have to erase men and start over. It’s been a good run fellas (not really)

people are determined to make apathy the only outlook on life. The more I age, the easier it is to see ending up with 5 dogs as utterly acceptable

This is seriously one of the grossest things I’ve ever heard.

“We knew that if he was coming by ... not to wear any top that would show our breasts, not to wear anything that would show our bottoms...”

You mean the guy who dated his step-granddaughter does inappropriate things to women?

I’m old enough to remember the rumors that Morgan Freeman had an inappropriate sexual relationship with his step-grandkid, so I’m finding it hard to be surprised he is a creep.

Jesus Fucking Christ is anyone out there actually a half-way decent human being?

Exxxacttamundo. What does playing by the rules and having and acting like a decent civilized person get you? Loss of rights for women, people of color, being shipped off ,uprooting of families, as well as emboldening the Cletus bullies of the world. They never play by the rules and we should start acting accordingly.

This constant appeal to some vague ‘moral high ground’ is tiresome. Throwing water on someone does not remotely mean giving up on any sort of high ground, of morality or anything else.

I have to say, as a firm believer in democratic norms, that this idea of ‘let your ideas beat theirs’ is just an extension of the Just World fallacy. ‘Better’ ideas don’t beat ‘lesser’ ideas. That’s not how ideas work. If you believe in, say, pacifism and go up against fascists, ‘living up to’ your ideals is going to…

“This leaves their opposition with little recourse but ridicule, scorn, and, eventually, inevitably, physical violence. It’s unfortunate, but it is a natural consequence and reaction to fascism.”

And oh look, it’s another white person who doesn’t understand that the right to free speech doesn’t give you the right to say whatever the fuck you want with zero consequences.
