That would mean they’re actually taking responsibility for something, which no one does anymore. Putting the implied negative on the person who was offended allows them to appear to be apologizing while not admitting any wrongdoing whatsoever. It’s like punching someone in the face, then making your apology “If you…

Wow, you really don’t know anything about the history of the gospels do you...absolutely none of the gospels were written by people who were present at the events that supposedly took place, and most are believed to have been written decades after Christ was killed (if he existed at all). Not to mention that they have…

Just curious what your sources are for knowing that the story is true. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

“people with any shred of empathy”

Pretty poor life guide if you ask me...I for one am generally against slavery and genocide but hey, whatever.

It’s essentially a co-opting of the Hebrew tradition of scapegoating...you pile all the sins of your village on a goat and send it out in the desert to die, and magically everyone in your town is sin-free! The ludicrous story of Jesus is simply a human, universe-wide (well, the universe as it was understood in Roman…

To be fair, Hooters is more than just a diner...

First, I 100% agree with you on badminton, ping pong, and quite a few other ridiculous “sports” that have been in for years (looking at you, freestyle skiing), meanwhile we only *just* got rugby back in 3 years ago after something like 90 years.

No disrespect whatsoever to Bambaataa, but while that may have been true at the birth of hip hop, you can’t sit here 40 years later and think it has much to do with the music being made today, at least not directly. It’s like saying rock and roll today still comes from jazz, rhythm and blues, ragtime, and swing. Yes,…

The point isn’t that those things aren’t part of the scene as they clearly are...but they’re presented as “the four elements of hip hop” as if everyone was already agreed that there were just these 4, and nothing else ever entered into it. Just reeks of someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about trying to…

Came here to say something along these lines...I don’t know whether this guy is in a whiteness contest with Mike Pence or something but sweet jesus. This is the 21st century equivalent to “the reefer butt is called a ‘roach’ because it resembles a cockroach.”

Oh yeah if you look at the average age on lines like Holland America, and imagine a town of ~3000 of people that age, it’s not hard to do the math and realize it’s just statistics that you’re gonna lose a couple people here and there. But yes, we have thought ahead and are ready for stuff like this. 

I’ll refer you to your own first line: you don’t know anything about anyone who decides to punch their own ticket, so don’t go making assumptions. I’m sorry you had a couple of people perhaps do it for selfish reasons, but not all suicides are selfish, and everyone has the right to decide when they’re done. Sometimes…

People die quite often on cruise ships actually. More than you might expect. I mean it’s not like every cruise or something but it is not at all a rare event.

This is what I mean...undoubtedly a lifetime hero in Miami, and certainly anyone with three rings is probably HOF material (and undoubtedly Wade is), but I mean to take a victory lap of the entire league for a full season...like I’m sure that while they certainly know who he is and what he’s done, no one in Minnesota…

Well I for one am shocked that a “sport” that actively promotes a wildly unhealthy body image to girls from a stunningly young age, has the participants perform in what are essentially bathing suits, and has 14 year old girls spending 50 hours a week in arenas with predominantly male coaching would have issues with…

It will never happen because someone will always build and use whatever has been outlawed. Plus it really depends on your definition of automated. Is a guided cruise missile automated? Yes, it takes a human to determine the target but beyond that it’s doing all the work on its own. It’s not ridiculous to think that in…

Serious question: what are people’s thoughts about announcing their retirement at the beginning of their last season? Obviously D Wade is/was a big time player and deserves recognition and whatever, but it sort of seems like you’re demanding everyone throw a party for you every single game. I feel like unless you’re…

I just wanna know how he was able to wrap duct tape around his own hands...
