More like why are you attempting to punish me with a boycott, divest, sanctions movement when atrocities orders of magnitude greater elicit only passing interest. e.g. why are you attempting to punish me for beating my kids when other parents in this neighborhood are allowed to kill their kids.

"Both of them are a must read for different reasons, presenting two sides of the story..."

The vast majority of casualties in most conflicts are civilians.

Because their goal is to win, not aim for a tie. The US obliterated hundreds of thousands of Germans and Japanese civilians (in some cases, tens of thousands at once) in trying to win the last "just war," World War 2.

Do those parachutes open automatically? Seems like not a lot of time to trigger them otherwise.

The FBI normally needs a warrant to set up a wiretap, arrest someone (in a non-emergency) or kick in a door and search a home.

Jeez. She poked that cop in the chest. Get a cop with the wrong attitude and poking your finger into the chest would get you arrested / mildly beat down pretty fast.

Know what else helps raise money for the poor? Going into the houses of the rich and stealing their jewels and $60,000 hand bags. Cut out the middleman.

Illegal is illegal, but I'm not crying over her missing jewels. Also, a good chunk of charity events in this country are just a way for the rich to flaunt their wealth while using the charitable aim as a cover for how incredibly gauche this flaunting would be otherwise.

When the victims are rich, conspicuous consumption braggarts? Fuck yeah victim blaming. In fact, when are we going to get this full on class war I've been hearing about?

Plenty of Latinas (aka "Latino women") have small asses and breasts.

Nah, you were being a bitch and got called out.

Weren't you just whinging about Palestine? Is whinge your default mode of expression?

"I wonder how it would be taken if this same logic were applied the other way around..." Let me tell you: it would be like straight men assuming other straight men are interested in sports and cars etc. Which is what straight men who are strangers do all the time to try to build rapport. Or it would be like a gay man…

Who cares? It's a public utility. The streets and sidewalks aren't financially self sustaining but that doesn't factor into my judgment of how useful they are.

The trains run 24 hours a day and they cost $2.50 to get from the Bronx to the Rockaways, not the 20 bucks it costs to get from Heathrow to city center. How could credibly claim London is better?

People who use all caps more than once a month should be investigated by mental health authorities.

There is no law against endangering the life of an animal you own; only treating animals cruelly is illegal. You can kill your own cat whenever you want so long as it's done humanely (which is why you don't need a permit to euthanize one).

What's shitty about state-funded abortions?
