This reminds me of the Presidential debate in which Dukakis said he opposed the death penalty. They presented an example of the most horrifying crime they could think of. He stuck to his word, and didn’t compromise on his view of a modern, liberal justice system that—yes—is even forced to treat convicted rapists and…

You could bring up the most unsavory, reprehensible people our society has to offer. I still don’t think it warrants making our criminal justice system more draconian.

How did Trump Jr. ever wind up with Lwaxana Troi?

“I oppose mandatory minimum sentencing” might be all you can say on this case, without walking into a minefield.

Finally, the families of 9/11 victims can get restitution from the Saudi royalty respon--

It’s something schools have an obligation to prioritize, considering that the number of sexual assaults on campuses probably outweighs those in any other environment. The fact that a university has more in common with a city than a school makes these interactions tricky, and warrants greater oversight. Maybe that’s…

I just don’t know that anything the school does would be more effective or legally sound than a restraining order. I know schools and companies are within their rights to remove anyone for literally any reason, but I’ve never held “within their rights” to be a good enough reason to explain every firing or expulsion. …

They have to worry about a civil suit.

It’s probably an unpopular opinion, but I agree.

While the legal ramifications of a multi-parent child are unique, I don’t think it warrants preventing such an arrangement. The more guardians a child has, the more litigious the work of raising, supporting, and--sure--arbitrating over that child. But I don’t think legal difficulty is a good reason to prevent that…

I can’t believe these magical spells aren’t as effective as I thought they’d be, when I wrote them into my spellbook. I had a few Third-Level Power Poses prepared, but now I feel like I’ve wasted all my spell slots.

I’d watch this. Jeb! could be the new Ernest, if you’d just give him a chance.

I like the notion that some ballgargling Trumpette is calling people “politically correct” while simultaneously being the most triggered bunch of sensitive fucks online, accusing people of “getting too personal” and “calling names” while their master makes up nicknames like Little Marco and shit.

Buddy, your various posts have ranged from “save some hot tears” to “look at your ad hominem attack!” Everything you’ve engaged in, from the get-go, has been a clear example of either (a) conservative cognitive dissonance, (b) trolling, or (c) hoping people don’t engage in your tactics. What it hasn’t been is consiste…

It’s interesting you should mention “trigger warnings”. As we near the election, I find more and more conservatives getting uncomfortable with jokes at their candidates’ expense, frank conversations about policy, and the acknowledgement that certain types of people exist.

This seems to be a far cry from how you entered into this thread. If I recall:

The weird thing about most Trump supporters is that you--after some length--invariably reveal yourselves to be trolls who are just voting for whatever. I don’t think I’ve met one whose opinions abide a single, rational chain of logic, even where that logic is allowed to be inherently sexist.

I might be saying this because I’m a liberal, but the complaints about Hillary that “she’s too far left”? They don’t make that much sense. She might be warhawkish, centrist, triangulating, and too willing to capitulate to corporations. But those are her conservative traits bringing her down. Those are also…
