I just can’t even with evolutionary biology. It doesn’t make any sense. It’s not actual science. I have a Ph.D. in a scientific field and just llooovvveee when dudebros with a BS in Political Science (at best) mansplain all that shit to me.

Your story will be told as a comedy, a la Taming of the Shrew.

It warms my heart to know that, in a few short years, it will no longer be difficult to explain why “Bati, bati,” was one of the funny arias in Don Giovanni, back when it was written.

I, for one, do not welcome our new overlords.

I’ve also found myself more comfortable with it in the recent months, much to my mother’s chagrin...to her it’s like one of those words that shall not be spoken EVER. I’m sure it’s a generational thing, but she gets so irrationally angry about it that I can’t even take her seriously. Like, face red and sputtering…

In used to feel the same way but ever since I realized the Brits use it with abandon, I have embraced it. Their usage is more of someone who is an idiot, rather than being so gender specific.

I avoid that word, too - it’s my special occasion term of deep anger at someone. Oddly enough, I find I’ve been using it more often lately...hmm.

But honest question, what are we going to do about it? What are the next steps here? I feel like we are shouting into a void about federal law and ethics and its making me very tired.

I usually stay away from this term but I have reached my goddamn limit.

Can we kick trash like you out and keep these people? Society doesn’t need deplorables.

She came over at 14. Do we charge her as a child? Do we even know if she had a choice at that age? If she didn’t, would you prefer she just not work at all once she became an adult?

So send back to Mexico a woman who came here as a child? Where is she supposed to go? She’s lived here longer than she did in Mexico. Her family is here. Tell me where her actual home is.

Will you just dismiss these assholes? You’re not doing anybody any good by encouraging them.

Yes, if you think the “proper” penalty for having come to America illegally as a minor is forcible deportation, after someone has lived, worked, gotten married, had children, and paid taxes here for 22 years, you have a pretty fucked up set of priorities.

not only that but what happens to her kids? it says she was married but is that the children’s father? there are a lot of kids who are citizens and their parents get deported... and guess what? they end up in the foster care system, which in itself is a really huge ethical, moral issue, but COSTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS…

Wow. Aren’t you a horrible piece of shit. You see a woman who has lived in this country since she was 14, being deported in front of her children and all you can think about is “breaking the law”. When laws are more important than human beings, then the laws are nothing more than oppression. Don’t hide behind the…

Oh fuck you with a rusty crowbar for this bullshit. You’re a fucking sociopath if you’re unable to have some empathy for this woman and think that this is both a good thing for the country and a good way to use ICE resources.

is the proper penalty for an incredibly minor infraction to be exiled?
if you’ve ever parked crookedly, i hope they kick you out of the country.

I mean, I wish more people would pose these questions (why didn’t you cast a person of the race the original character is) to the producers/directors. Of course it’s good to have the conversation and get the point out there, but it’s not really up to the actors. Obviously, SJ could have turned down the project, and…

I don’t really understand what you want, should they all have a moratorium on making statements or speaking in congress every time they release a book, regardless of what’s going on?
