Apparently someone cut the cables to the MSNBC/NBC and CNN trucks covering the Trump press conference and speech, right before Trump called for restrictions on freedom of the press. The fact that ANYONE would endorse this guy is fucking crazy.

Though not a Jew (or religious at all), I think I have some insight from working at a synagogue for 5 years and also having a 1/2 Jewish fiancée and numerous Jewish friends. I think your question strikes at a philosophical difference between Judaism and Christianity. While Christianity asks for belief and goodness of…

Golda Meir had it right. Men should just stay home.

Also, if your religion prohibits you from interacting with literally half the people on the planet, your religion probably sucks.

Why wouldn’t they simply move the dude? He’s the one with the issue.

Finally. If your religion prohibits any sight or incidental contact with women, maybe you should stay home. We certainly won't.

My toddler’s understanding of death is nonexistent. He’d probably want to put a band-aid on a bullet wound to “make it feel better.” I’m assuming this isn’t far from average for that age group.

Ok first of all lets separate the idea that “those who benefit from counseling” might necessarily be mentally ill. Obviously we are talking about a spectrum here but its very important to note that mental illness is broad whereas anger and impulse control are discrete identifiers. Mental illness is a diagnosis based…

Aren’t temper and impulse control issues an aspect of mental health too? I completely agree that there’s always an awful flood of stigmatizing conjecture and ugly assumptions regarding mental illness in the aftermath of these events, but, on some level, if somebody is shooting up a factory, isn’t that pretty good…

Actually your comment makes me want to see if there’s a study to determine how much gun violence happens in hit hot anger and how much in cold blood.
Unfortunately, the CDC has prohibited (and had funds cut) when it proposed doing studies about gun violence.

Its almost like people with tempers or impulse control issues should be the de facto shooter profile and not the mentally ill.

I have a theory that we treat people as adults for only about 30 years.

In the interest of saving SF and Austin, may I welcome all these tech bros to the golf course they'll eventually retire in anyway: Phoenix, AZ. Seriously. A lot of people here (particularly the older crowd) are pretty much that guy already (some money, no taste beyond "trendy," Libertarian), but we're so spread out…

Yeah, gentrification is a tricky question, especially because of lower-income residents getting priced out of inner-city neighborhoods where their jobs/lives/families have always been. But this guy isn’t even talking about gentrification. His entire thesis is literally: I can afford to live a decent life with an…

The idea that successfully holding down a job and making rent entitles you to complete freedom from perceiving the unhappiness of others is so breathtakingly narcissistic.

Yes! Also that’s exactly the way nitrates work.. You ingest far more nitrates from eating a bowl of dark leafy greens like kale than cured meat.

Yeah, it’s not literally “wood chips” or ye olde TOXIC CHEMICALS. Cellulose is found in regular ‘ol green plants and it’s fiber.

It always shocks me how totally ignorant Bernie’s acolytes are about some of the really ugly or inexplicable parts of his record, particularly in light of the bizarre standard of piety and holiness they seem to want to hold all other politicians to.

Trump has already won if voter turnout stays as it is ..

I would star you a million times if I could.
