The story of his tattoo got to me. Damn, this guy is brave.

The hilarious thing is that they probably earnestly believe that something that works. “Hey, we both have the same name! How can the same person be tried for the same crime twice! You can’t put TWO Donald Trump’s in jail! CHECKMATE DEMOCRATS!”
Thanks for that, sane and helpful. Seems like he covered most of the bases there, “complex democratic transitions” being a very diplomatic way to describe one problem.
Maybe there’s a translation issue? Seems like the main problem people have is he says “civilizational.” Someone with a knowledge of French could possibly tell us about word choice and context here.
Many of the highest fertility rates in the world are in African countries.
Exactly how is what he said racist...? He talks about failed states and poor transitions, combined with a socio-economic issue based on large-family size and easily inferred from said family-size, need. Takes a lot of Euro to feed 7-8 kids, vs 1-2. It isn’t racist at all. Large-family size is a pretty common…
Maybe I am naive, but to me this reads like him just talking about how profound the crises to be dealt with are. Saying they are civilizational means they threaten the civilization there to it’s core. Saying that there are 7 or 8 children per woman is to give a piece of information to explain why you cannot solve it…
Here’s the thing though. The artistic merit of the lutz is broken down into technical components as well. Did the skate fully complete the turn, were the arms tight to the body, etc. Subjective or not, there are standards to which these judges are holding the jump. You’re not going to find a judge who thinks a…
Oh, come on. EVERY sport has elements of subjectivity. It’s why we have umpires and referees. Referees decide when close calls are actually touchdowns or goals. Track umpires decide whether the person who crossed the finish line first stepped on the lane line. Boxing judges call matches based on performance execution.…
The women who look like you are not as big of a prize as the white women.
And it hits home as a critique of those of us that are in interracial relationships as well. That may not be the intent of the authors of these pieces, but it easily comes across as such. My SO and I are sick of people insinuating our relationship is either a fetish or a cultural malady.
Yeah...I sort of hate that this movie is being used as the laundry line that airs these issues. It’s an important point that deserves to be heard, but this is literally the third article I’ve read online about The Big Sick mainly discussing issues with white women/Asian men onscreen. It starts feeling like a…
Okay, you’re a bit confused. Just because its a First Amendment issue doesn’t mean that the person (the speaker) wins. There is no “blanket immunity.” It just means that the public institution is going to have to satisfy constitutional standards of proof when defending their action.
For First Amendment purposes, any institution that receives government funding is deemed a public entity, and any negative action taken against them can be construed as a constitutional issue. Even is there is an employment contract.
She and Wyden were literally the only ones to not allow him airtime for his bs and to insist he answer the actual question asked. People are really tired of the BS and so of course we are eager for someone to come along who might cut the bullshit. You don’t need to shout her down - she’s deserving of our excitement…
Is your point something other than “Bernie voters cost us the election”? Because that’s decidedly untrue.
Whew, bullying people into voting your way seems like a good new tactic that will definitely work. Keep it up!
It’s funny how pretty much all of the people who get really really mad at “Bernie would have won” are hardcore Hillary fans, while even rabid Trumpsters can ignore it or even agree that, yeah, he probably would have won.
Bernie voters supported Clinton in higher numbers than Clinton voters supported Obama.
