All Trump crap aside, leaning in for a kiss isn’t bad in and of itself.

Yeah, it was the “all Muslim women wear” a hijab that clued me it to the bullshit.

Actually, the majority of Muslim women don’t wear the hijab.

No, I’ve been hearing this for years, and there’s obviously more than a grain of truth to the concept. You’re correct that self hatred and shame are endemic to the human beings.

So, you’re saying that most of the homophobia comes from the gay community, not the straight community? That seems to take straight people off the hook for their bigotry.

I don’t think we’ll ever have the kind of wall Trump is asking for. Even without that wall, border crossings are dropping to the point where they are statistically insignificant.

Since border crossings are at a 45 year low- it has become very, very difficult to cross the border illegally- future DACA kids are practically a statistical zero.

I don’t know- it seems like a bit of an insult to gay people to say that every guy who’s sexually fucked up is gay. I mean, there are plenty of movie theater overcoat masturbators out there who are straight.

“Even though we had slavery, they cared for one another.”

“Why has the #MeToo revolution sparred Woody Allen?”

I think it’s that there are people who hate Jews who often hijack legitimate discussions of Israel.

Rafi’s views appear to be pretty much in alignment with the average secular Israeli in Tel Aviv or Haifa who dislikes the way that Netanyahu has been supporting the undemocratic ideals of the ultra orthodox at the expense of the majority. 

Yup- plenty of Democrats have won in the South, although they do tend to skew right on social issues.

Have you spent time here? We have tons of problems right now, but around 100 million Americans- roughly 30% of the country- are in the upper middle class, and 50% of Americans are invested in the stock market in some way- direct, 401K, pension, etc.

There’s a not insignificant number of fanatics out there who STILL believe that the difference between Hillary and Trump was purely cosmetic, even given the obvious fact that on the ACA, taxes, the environment, judges and playing chicken with North Korea, there was a fucking entire solar system of difference.

You’re posting to the wrong article. This tax bill has zero to do with neo-liberalism.

What’s that Margaret Atwood quote again?

The reason people continue to work with Woody Allen is that a certain percentage of people in the film world- it’s a matter of intellectual style and taste- consider him to be brilliant, and his fan base is pretty deep and extremely loyal.

“there is nothing in the world like first-rate pussy”

I’ll never forget when that neo nazi broke Geraldo’s nose on his show in the 1980's. That was about the most exciting thing on media anywhere at the time.
