I didn’t say it was the same. I’m saying it’s a procedure done to someones reproductive organs, generally without their consent, motivated primarily by religious reasons, and neither one should be acceptable.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say you haven’t had anything cut off your genitals. I have, so I guess that’s your perspective.

Now would probably be a good time to have a conversation about ratifying the ERA, maybe?

And why shouldn’t they?

I hate headlines like this. I hate stories like this.

What ideas is he speaking of when the kids are talking about dangerous ideas?

In my experience well-trained social science people tend to have the best understanding of the difference between correlation and causation. 

I ain’t got to listen to an idiot ramble on about things that ain’t on the table. Y’all Wana get on your high horse to speak down to the masses on communism, but that wasn’t on the menu. I’m just sayin that most folks spouting off on “colleges discussion” and “why is there’s no room for dissenting opinions” won’t…

My daughter arrived for her first year of college having never held a job, either. It wasn’t that she was spoiled, it was that we knew we were too poor to afford to send her to school without major help. Instead of working a crappy low-skill job for $7.25/hr., we preferred that she spend her time beefing up her…

Wow you are boring and never actually listen to the other side. Cool story bro.

There is data. Empirical data. Lots of cultures, lots of generations. It’s not like these are just personal opinions based on his own life anecdotes.

Gray hair baby boomer doesn’t like whats happening at colleges *gasp* and wrote a shitty book for grandpas to buy, who gives a shit.

Yeah, that’s what scare quotes are.  Next question.

Nice of you to use ‘jihad’ to describe it, how utterly rational. Luckily atheism doesn’t require words like faith, holy, sacred, all of which invite the user to abandon critical thought. When something becomes ‘sacred’, or ‘holy’, or requires ‘faith’, it stops being examined and questioned, the possibility of tossing…

Hell, I coulda told you that from the title of his book. “Coddling” is just code for “not teaching them to be selfish assholes”. FOH with this pseudo-intellectual bullshit, lifehacker.

Yawn. I stopped caring what this guy had to think once he jumped on the “atheism is just another religion” idiocy. Just another conservative windbag.

Some things you never know you like until you try them. I've realized I liked a lot of things I thought I'd hate. Indian food, Taylor Swift, yoga, Windows 7...
