You would think it would have been enough to have proven that the videos were set-up, edited, and misleading as fuck. You would think. But somehow this is still working on being a wedge issue on the congressional budget talks. How is that even happening?

Wow, this question is fucking ludicrous. I’ve been to law school and practiced for several years and I know for a fact no lawyer would bother saving anyone else in a fire. Might as well be testing on legal customs of middle earth.

don’t overthink it.

“Everybody’s taking our jobs!”

“We’re gonna round them up in a very nice way.”

Nuke him from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

I feel so vindicated right now:

Dolores Bridge is the scariest Potter villian because she's the most real. All of us might know someone who is a little like her.

Dude. Never read YouTube comments. EVER. Your head will explode in a rage stroke of the highest magnitude, and you may never recover.

He’s since faced sexual-abuse accusations every so often.

You simply don’t understand the concept of rights.

The thing is there is a Geneva Convention for kids, it’s called the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It has been ratified by every UN country except Somalia and the US. The US who were instrumental in it’s writing will not ratify it because it forbids the Death Penalty and Life imprisonment for children.

There’s a point when hate speech gets dangerous. At that point it should be illegal. Looking at Europe’s history, I think it’s a good thing that you can’t just go around display a swastika or talk about killing people because of their religion/ethnicity.

That’s because you’re painfully naive. Bigotry begets violence only after it’s had a good airing and collected lots of adherents standing around talking about how true all these vile things are. Squash in cradle.

Can we also “child sex” to that and “child porn”? My local news loves those and I always have to make a stink. One of the stations has a handy little graphic for it too <vomit>

Or maybe promote talking to your child with a modicum of respect like you would with an adult which you’re trying to tell them they’re going to become?

So if English becomes the official language does that mean they’ll start teaching it in schools?

Oh lovely! Another misinformed, hand-wringing article about Japan’s supposed strangeness so that legions of white Americans can smirk “Oh Japan!” Too bad I am always in the greys and no one will see this while all the “OMG JAPAN IS CREEPY” comments get endlessly starred.

I feel really sad that … someone could be so unhappy with themselves as a person that they did not feel dignified as a human being until they got a piece of paper.

Oh my god, this fucking martyr. All he has to do is return and appear in court for sentencing. The American justice system hasn’t exactly demonstrated that it’s waiting to persecute guilty rich & famous men.
