I just want to point out that you just said, "your beliefs are your choice, but they're not your choice because you need to have a solid theological reason to not be part of the religion of your birth."

No, 64 is the exact number of Israelis killed by Palestinian rockets since the practice began in 2001. I know your type too, the type that throws a tantrum when presented with evidence and tries to pretend rock-solid absolute facts are somehow open to interpretation. Let me guess, big Fox News fan?

My "leanings" are not being a fan of disproportionate civilian deaths in response to virtually no provocation or serious threats. That you think this makes them incompatible with the existence of Israel makes you seem more like the actual anti-Semite here.

As for your second point—do you think Israel should be allowed to continue existing (within the pre-67 borders)?

Thanks for IMMEDIATELY proving how intellectually bankrupt your piss-poor argument is, Cletus. When in doubt, cover your ears and scream antisemitism, right?

Oh please, they couldn't possibly be any further removed unless they were us.

Israel hasn't been the underdog since 1948. Their population matters a lot less than their military hardware. The Palestinians are throwing rocks at tanks; Israel is in exactly zero danger from them. The terrible terrible rockets from Hamas raining down on them kill about one person a year, as opposed to the hundreds…

I know I can't beat the legend of the "crusty dildo" but I'll share my Senior year hell just the same.

So yes, he's a professional athlete.... But that doesn't make him proof that you can be fat and fit at the same time.

Rape kits are not forced on the victim. They are a voluntary procedure for collecting physical evidence after a sexual assault. This is the forcible sexual stimulation of a teenager by the local government. The teen is also being coerced into letting law enforcement take nude pictures of him (the exact "crime" that he…

Hey white folks...next time you hear about "stop snitching" and communities refuse to cooperate with police and you wonder why? Its shit like this. Now granted, we usually get the drug laws thrown at us, by they end up enforced in utterly inane, backward, and vindictive ways just like this case.

I worked in a labor and employment law group for a few years. It's very, very seldom, he said, she said. Sure, there were some bogus claims, but it's like rape: most of the cases never get reported by the victims due to fear of the harasser and fear of repercussions.

You are utterly wrong my friend.

For fuck's sake, why is everyone assuming the authors didn't control for socio economic status? They did!

Misogyny is not the result of religion; religion is just used to justify misogyny.

We all benefit from services provided by the government. We all contribute to the tax system, whether through income tax, capital gains tax, property tax, or sales tax.

I don't want to believe your last paragraph, but damn, these comments are terrible. It's like everyone forgets the war on drugs is racist and classist. I mean, it's not like rich white people don't use drugs, it's that they never have any consequences for doing so.

Wow. Where to start? To begin with, if you're hungry signing up for welfare benefits isn't optional. Secondly, a credit check isn't a medical test. So, if it's an invasion of privacy it certainly isn't in the same way that a drug test it. And finally, your husband is a surgeon. Testing him is in a lot of people's…

Ok. I'm getting the sense that your concept of class is not my concept of class. You say, "I've been lower-class." But this sentence makes no sense. You can't change your class status. It's not related to how much money you make. It's a definition. That's what it is. Just like race and gender.

A creepy little girl will stand at the foot of your bed and kill you at midnight unless you send this to six people and then all your wishes will come true. Provided that your wishes are to be murdered by a creepy little girl at midnight.
