Never understood the "get a job" insult to people who likely have jobs. I mean, disregarding the racism and general awfulness and just looking at it from an insult effectiveness standpoint, it's terrible.

useful trivia: actually, no, he hadn't. that picture that got passed around of what was supposedly Darren Wilson's orbital fracture was a hoax, and also happened to be one of the first Google Image Search results for 'orbital fracture.'
Nice to know that see you next Tuesday hating on the Marine is going to have some beauty of lung cancer in no time. Problem solved.
Because they are totally okay with the idea of this happening again and again. I don't know how many times I've seen people online encouraging the police to be even more trigger-happy, to keep "these thugs off our streets."
Alternatively, it's saying "I'm a white person ignorant of racism and rather than face the problems and try to solve it, I insist on perpetuating the problem and acting indignant when someone points out racism."
You don't understand it because you are sane.
I want you to have Ebola.
Because they are racists.
Saying "I am Darren Wilson" is essentially saying "I am a piece of shit cop who shot and murdered an unarmed black kid." Why are people saying this with pride? I don't understand.
Applying Ben Affleck logic, not all black people are criminals, not all white people aren't racist, not all cardinals fans are racist, not all black people are mike brown, not all white people shoot black people, not all muslims are terrorists.

"Rising atmospheric CO2 benefits all life on Earth by improving plant growth and crop yields, making food more abundant and affordable, helping the poor most of all."
By that logic, the planet Venus should be a lush jungle environment.
Just bring up Lilith. The first woman, who refused to bow to Adam, would not listen to God, and was cast out to breed with the demons & fallen angels. Such a lovely tale.
I've yet to meet someone espousing the Cornwallian position from Shanghai, the edge of the Sahara, or similar places where Man-made environmental effects are felt. They're usually comfortable in air-conditioned first-world palaces where the land is something you drive over, not hold in your hand.
I always bring up with my friends during our debates..."why aren't evangelical christians environmentalist?" I also like to tie on..."Jesus gave us plants...aka weed" but I digress. However I'm always baffled why evangelical christians aren'y hand-in-hand with environmentalist. While personal beliefs might differ…
The Bible teaches that sin entered the world through Adam (and has been perpetuated by every man and woman since). The problem of evil comes from man, not God. Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God...".
Not even the Evangelicals are a match for Big Business, I'm afraid.
Unfortunately, a majority of Evangelicals will still vote Republican. If they're able to ignore "Obamacare" and other Democrat stances that would benefit a lot of them directly, they can ignore these sound pro-environment points.
Somehow, no matter how you slice it, I don't think Jesus was for cheap electricity. Doing the right thing isn't cheap, and often times is in alignment with your enemies (liberals in this case).
Thank you for posting this. A lot of the internet hatred for religion (Christianity especially) seems rooted in the ignorant notion that churches are still as stuck in their ways as their 15th century predecessors. (Granted some of them still are, and unfortunately they make the headlines.)
