I usually just keep my mouth shut because I have come to realize when you try to explain it thoughtfully people just dig in their heels and spew more garbage. I try to see both sides in every debate instead of automatically deciding what’s right and wrong. I could maybe understand a sit down with a principal to see…

I will probably not say this right but here goes. If nothing else, this was a good way for him to experience racism. I imagine his parents have explained these things to him as all parents of children who are different or simply not white are usually forced to do. I’m sure he’s probably experienced it before in a mild…

I would generally agree, but I think this had to happen. Normally a kid gets treated like this, the parents make a fuss and then switch schools because nothing can be done. Ahmed gets nationwide support and good wishes, and it shows the country that this shit will not stand. I wish all kids in the country could just…

I really cannot wrap my head around this modern day Cupid & Psyche. Everybody involved sounds a little sick. Having had sex with men and women and pretty much everything in between, I’m not sure how any of this could be true. Having sex with a man vs. a woman with a strap-on is distinctly different. Maybe she was…

I don’t really think “fraudulent” sex should really be a thing except in extreme cases. I’ve seen it used as “well he told me he was rich and had a yacht!” which is just ugh. As for trans people, if you think your partner would really be uncomfortable with your status then you have not found the right person for you.…

*pertinent* sexual history. Being transgender, STD’s & HIV/AIDS status, that time they slept with your sibling, etc. But that’s it. No one has a right to anyone’s whole sexual history. I say this because I once dated a guy who seemed a little insecure about the fact that I liked women as well. I let slip once that I…

I would commend him on admitting the truth and apologizing, if it had been before he started facing scrutiny and people started to look into his background. Since he waited until after, I feel he should lose all of his sponsors. If he has ever received any actual money or donations for this, he should have to donate…

I know! All kids do these days is stare at their smartphones. There’s just no way that a kid would do something because he enjoys engineering. There must be some malice involved. Better stomp him into his place now, amirite?

In my school my science teacher taught us how to make bottle rockets. I’m only 23 so it wasn’t even that long ago.

I was going to give you an eloquent response but by the time I got to the bottom all I wanted to say was fuck you, you fucking moron.

I believe his parents had to consent to the release, it’s generally the law if it’s taken on school property. While I generally wouldn’t want pictures of my kid circulated like that, if this happened to my kid I would want this picture everywhere. Otherwise this whole thing gets swept under the rug and my kid is shit…

This made me laugh because in the 6th grade I was questioned because I had batteries and a loose spring in my pocket. Two AA’s for my CD player because I would get bus sick, and a spring that was from some broken pen who knows how long ago. I was 12, and I got kicked out of the robotics club I was excelling in.

I hope they sue for enough money to move somewhere better and send Ahmed to a private school with an engineering course. When a kid has that kind of fire, you don’t stifle it.

It’s not just standard procedure. It’s federal law that if police or anyone have even the slightest suspicion of an explosive device the bomb squad is to be notified to check it out immediately.

No broader explanation? If he was building a bomb he wouldn’t bring a fucking clock in first and show it to people. Fuck these ignorant racist pieces of garbage.

The way schools generally work, all of the teachers would’ve been notified of the situation. So how many fucking teachers in that school did not say “uh, this isn’t fucking okay.” and/or “you can’t interrogate a minor without his parents.” Or anything. Where the fuck were all the adults there to protect this goddamn…

I generally think age does not matter, but I think there’s an extra layer of icky here because he’s in his very late 50’s or early 60’s. She’s vastly younger, and that leads me to believe he’s been doing this shit since typewriters were a thing. The kind of guy you only get career advancement from if you let him cup…

“Traditionally” you were born one gender and that was that. Nowadays we realize that’s not really true for everyone and we have numerous ways which one can be the person the feel they are, say, transgender surgery? It’s especially great if you’re rich and can afford an almost $5 million transformation and can skip all…

It seems like they were assholes about how they did it, but I’ve seen barbershops turn away women because they aren’t experienced with womens hair and can and will fuck it all up unintentionally. I’ve also found that most barbers don’t go to beauty school like hair dressers do and learn in shop. Maybe I would’ve left…

I didn’t see where she said she wanted a male style haircut. It just says she wanted a haircut with her boyfriend. In another article it says she asked for a wave haircut but that’s not a male style haircut, it’s sort of like a semi-bob that angles downwards towards the chin that can be pinned back to make a 50’s/60’s…
