If you get The Mideast to end their three religions, then we'll take care of these clowns

They'll eat less, or make up the difference with shoplifting and the occasional trading post robbery.

While I agree with the premise, just an FYI items bought with food stamps (most junk food in stores can be bought with food stamps) aren't taxed.

I'm pretty sure that food stamp purchases are exempt from state and local taxes in every jurisdiction (I assumed that was standard, but no easy way to google if there are exceptions) so the food shouldn't be more expensive for those people.

It's great that this money is going to community wellness projects, but taxing an item that is popular with people on food stamps specifically because it is inexpensive (as per the quoted portion of the article) sort of seems like it fails to address the inherent issues of 1. possibly not knowing enough about…

When I was in grad school, we studied the history of eugenics and the author of the text we used promised to discuss why eugenics was so popular (until, of course, people saw what it looked like in Germany during the Second World War, but I digress). I was disappointed that he (the author) didn't actually discuss why…

You argue that people with mental illnesses shouldn't be legally able to consent to anything? Speaking as one of the millions of people with mental illnesses, I have to say that that is one of the most fucked up ideas I've ever heard.

Forced sterilization is wrong. Sterilization as a choice to avoid jail time is fine.

White dude with thick red curly hair. I keep it long and pull it back in a headband. My hair is searched 100% of the times I fly, which is about 4 round trips a year or so.

My hair has been searched twice as well. I'm a biracial black woman with a curly fro, and I've had to bite my tongue during the experience. Don't touch my hair with your funky ass gloves man.

I don't know why anyone would be obligated to do anything in the bedroom. Penises of the world, no one owes you a blow job, no matter how swell you think you are.

I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was 8 weeks along - and that's not an uncommon thing for people that aren't actively trying to get pregnant (and therefore testing their pee every week).

So, you can't abort a pregnancy if you can actually confirm the pregnancy? Love the logic. Just love it.

It's wi-fi.

Well, I do feel bad for a parent who loses her child, and can almost understand why she might look for anything and everything (no matter how unreasonable) to explain the loss. (Also, to be fair, vaccinations do cause severe injury in an extremely small number of cases - although the number is so small that it's…

You can ban peanut butter from schools because ONE KID has an allergy... We should be able to banish anti-vaxxers from society as a whole.

deer in headlights Jenny, is there a vaccine for that??

And like most people who want to avoid being responsible for pretty much anything, the anti-vaxxers will stick their fingers in their ears and go, "CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION, YOU CAN'T MAKE ME BELIEVE!"

I'm fairly certain your post ate at least five points of my IQ. :(

The shit makes me so fucking mad. You don't want to vaccinate your kids? Then you shouldn't be allowed to send them to public school, public parks etc etc etc. The scary part (as evidenced by this Disneyland outbreak) is that this wouldn't even solve the problem. It's so infuriating and selfish.
