In the US we do not punish people for the “sins of their fathers”.

Last night I was on a flight home and I heard a mother tell her son, “If you’re good, we can watch Ninja when we get home.”

Agreed. By the definition of endangered, she certainly did. She’s responsible to attend to an emergency that can (and apparently often does—hi Southwest) happen on a flight. She’s incapable of that; pretty straightforward.

I’m going to sound like an asshole, but that’s not my intent. I feel like many of your (Elizabeth Werth) headlines and articles are clickbait and sensationalized. Just from reading the actual quotes from Carey you can see he’s not calling for a draft. It’s not a bad metaphor. He’s calling for events that maintain…

Or I could indoctrinate them with points of view without teaching them how to build a valid argument. Because, not understanding the perspective of the person you disagree with is totally fine in a world where the veil of the internet provides infinite protections to our convictions.

True, but the vast gulf between the richest of the rich and the rest of us just seems to get higher. Instead of more homeless folks actually finding somewhere to stay, for example, we’re breaking new records for how rich the rich are getting and putting in absurd laws to criminalize public sleeping and move camps out…

That is an excellent point. Someone can say as much racist shit as they want, but as long as it isn’t directed specifically at another user or group of users, it’s not against the rules. I think Reddit is trying to stick as closely to the legal idea of free speech as they can.

While it’s true the First Amendment only protects you from the government interfering with your free speech, that doesn’t mean that the First Amendment gets to define what free speech is. Free speech is larger than the First Amendment, and there were reasons people considered it important.

Other people have pointed out that it is addressed, and I’ll admit it’s a decently clever solution.

Backstory on mine. I’m a Ferrari fan just like Guido, worked a tech/tire changer for a few years, and I identify with his can do mettle.  1 lap race in the desert that doesn’t require a pit stop? Show up anyway ready to rock and roll even if you’re told that your services aren’t needed. Pit stop? Pit stop.

Note: By the end of this comment I’ll have turned it around, but I left it all intact so you can see my thought process.

Congratulations! I hope one of your demands was for a copy editor.

We’ve decided to form a union here at Onion Inc

The correct price is right there on the license plate.

Weak. You need to putin more effort.

This comment thread has really been an emotional roller coaster.

They mostly did this because they recalled what happened to French royalty. Instead of suggesting they eat cake, the robber barons handed out some cake.

“So... I was walking through the lobby... and I saw this... machine... - it’s like a pair of glasses, and it shows you images in three dimensions - and the machine - a beautiful looking machine, by the way - this machine... it trains you to shoot terrorists! It trains you! That what it does, it trains you! And... so…

No, she lost by ignoring swing states or providing any coherent campaign message beyond “I’m not Donald Trump.”
