It just doesn’t make sense. I said to him: “So, you’re saying 99% of scientists - who are unrelated, don’t know each other, live in different parts of the world and often aren’t even given the names of those they are reviewing - agree that vaccines are a necessary advancement of medical science and that the 1% are the…

I have a co-worker who actually tells me all the time that he believes scientists engaged in peer-review are the vicitms of “group think” concerning vaccinations. I.E. experts in medical research and practicing doctors have all become close-minded to the “evidence” of the harm of vaccinations.

No... Not “just sayin.” Say it out loud. I wanna hear what you have against me.

Fair enough. I just always cringe when politicians fulfill their stereotypes. To be fair, having Bernie on that show would be far, far more of that!

OMG! I saw that too!

This is a good fucking reminder that we all NEED TO BE FUCKING VOTING IN NOVEMBER!!!!

Yeah, but “between two ferns” is the most - and forgive me for saying this - white, liberal leaning humor you can get outside of David Cross. Not that Hillary will EVER win over the working class, but winning over college whites? I’m not sure it goes far enough.

Right, I’m divorced too. I might be able to move on from that time period and grow and learn, but it will never unhappen

And using a prostitute isn’t?

Brad was such a star fucker though. The male version of the casting couch

I don’t think she was saying “higher = better”, but was saying it’s a pop trend that Jessie J and Ariaba Grande fall into who are also better at controlling than Gaga is. She said repeatedly how Gaga could have done a much better job at this song if they’d changed the key lower.

I would say it’s restricted access to health care for poorer Americans/lack of maternity leave

You really want to argue, don’t you. I really wish we lived in a world where debate was about understanding, but, well... You see my user name.

Marxism is a philosophy that divides all interactions defined by two players- those with power, and those being exploited. Almost everything you’ve written seems to be written from that perspective. I mean, I could be wrong. Hard to get nuance in this context. I’m not saying it’s necessarily a wrong interpretation,…

Ok, so if I’m going to paraphrase, I see two points you’re trying to make in the above. One that any commercial venture by which minority products are transferred to a dominant culture is problematic. You’re still a little muddy in refuting my point about who profits. I had made the point that most people who get…

Right, but then they use duvet covers, right? Top sheet to protect the blanket, but duvet cover does the same thing

Really? That surprises me that you could know that from two sta tents on the subject

Well you say finances should not be a part of it and then spend the entire next paragraph speaking of profits and who they should go to. Again, this does nothing to dissuade my belief that all discussions of cultural appropriation and who should wear or eat X cultural substance has more to do with who gets the…

I so don’t agree with you. But at least I know where you stand and for that I respect you.

I don’t disagree with you... Totally. For example, white people at festivals wearing actual religious symbols taken from other cultures as a fashion statement, but in the case of recreations, or re-interpreted fashion articles that are reminiscent of those asme symbols, isn’t the distaste more about said culture not…
