His remains exist somewhere, right? A DNA test would clear it up. 23 & Me that guy!

They’re mormons, actually.

I dunno, I’ve softened a little bit about how I think anti-vaxxers should be treated. When my wife was pregnant, she was trying to understand the subject and was very worried because of the scary stuff some people say about vaccines. When she expressed her “hesitation” about it, I kind of freaked out and it turned…

I feel like we’re seeing another sign of our country’s politics not fitting into the small, two-party box it’s being forced into. If we were in a system that allowed equal time to more than two parties, then the old school Republicans (aka Moderate, Neo-Liberal Democrats) and the Progressives could have more ability…

It’s cool, I have a white friend.

I think he can still go there, he just has to explain why he goes to an anti-LGBTQ church. He could always just say “I think gays are sinners, too” and thus make everything logically consistent in his actions.

The majority of them know it’s hurtful and mean spirited. They don’t care. There’s no other redeeming quality to blackface other than to have fun insulting a particular group of people.

As a fellow white person who has found occasions to empathize with people who aren’t white on many occasion, then come back to the “white” world and see behind the scenes, I can say with confidence that these motherfuckers know what they’re doing and are just playing dumb and cute to get out of the consequences.

I don’t know, I’d push the line back to the 60's. I grew up in a fairly conservative family but even in the 80's (when I was in grade school), I knew that shit was mean-spirited and horrible. It’s not a hard conclusion to come to when you see black people as humans with feelings and dignity.

Bets on how many “pretend I’m protecting myself” gun owners also claim to be “pro-life” yet won’t acknowledge that firearms are in the top 3 causes of death for 1-to-5 year olds.

tl;dr: “Because I can and my desire is more important than the safety of those around me because I think that I’ll turn into John McClane if shit goes down. I need that reassurance in my life.”

DaFuq were they doing there to begin with? Finish your paid political activism at the Anti-Choice march then go back to your effing hotel, kids!

Where were the chaperones for the Catholic boys? For the life of me, I couldn’t see one adult among them. I find it hard to conceive that Catholics wouldn’t insist on having their kids chaperoned.

That’s not really how the #Market works anyway. There are all types of products and services that people pay for simply because other people have done the same, regardless of actual quality.

If comedians knew how to deal with their emotions and personal issues, then they wouldn’t be very funny. Jeff Dunham would be the funniest man on Earth. That’s not a world I want to live in.

I think that would require a social/cultural movement to regain active control over our rituals and traditions. There is a little bit of that already with some of the renaming of Columbus Day in certain areas, but it would need to escalate into something more than symbolic victories over history. Something that was a…

I think the difference is religion. There is a need in the Judaeo-Christian religions to maintain their narratives in order to maintain their religion’s relevance. It doesn’t matter that there is absolutely no archaeological evidence of the Israelites being enslaved in Ancient Egypt, it’s a compelling mythology that…

As a white guy dealing more and more with the upper-middle levels of the corporate world and having to hear their weird bullshit opinions about the world around them that they don’t actually inhabit and seeing how they actually act when held to account (not even on social stuff, just being called out on their stats),…

Yeah, that’s the problem with humans parenting humans. There’s no test or validation that someone is capable of handling the amount of work they set out to make for themselves with having children. And there’s no way anyone could ever trust any state agency to be able to properly administer such a test, doesn’t matter…
