Disagree. His new show is about real issues all over the world. He could have run with the whole wise cracking food guy traveling all over and doing food porn forever, and he didn’t. He chose to do a show about real issues. I gotta give him some credit.

I know, right? They live in a place that is literally running out of water, and they're worried about their kids getting a harmless vaccine?

A friend of mine is a cop, and I’ve had conversations with him about this. He once told me that your first year on the job is incredibly difficult, and every cop he has known has done some very hard drinking in their first year. And then you come through it a completely different person. He’s a conservative and I’m…

Also, I'm amazed at the number of people who took the time to reply to a post about empathy just to tell everyone how they don't give a fuck about anyone else.

Trying too hard at what? I got your point, I just think it's wrong. i was with you until you said the thing about progressives, I don't know how you arrived at that from reading the article.

And I replied, what is wrong with me? Being stuck in an airport, that’s what.

Oh, no you’re doing the ‘both sides’ false equivalency thing. Right. What you described is not empathy, however, it's trying to show (false) empathy for the benefit of being seen as empathetic, which I think is a different thing than the article talks about.

I think a lot of this is cultural, as well. Having lived in other countries has really given me a lot of perspective on things that you are simply not aware of in the States. Australians, for example, tend to see themselves as citizens of the world rather than just Australians, which is interesting, seeing as their…

Two things: first of all, that was your take after reading this, that progressives are conformists? Second, really, progressives are conformists? If a conservative anywhere in the universe utters something that gets applause (or a campaign contribution) every other fucker who watches Fox News can’t get in front of a…

I would say no. If I want real Mexican, I go to a real Mexican place, which we do have in New York. But sometimes I want Chipotle, so I go there.

What about curry? No one mentioned curry! Curry is ace!

I quote Nicola Murray from The Thick Of It when she said “I can’t eat it, it makes my throat go all claggy”

No, I’m not ok with that, but comparisons to other candidates are exactly the point. Civil liberties are not a thing that exist in America any more (gun rights are fine, though), especially since September 11th. The only question is what degree of fucked up are we ok with, and the truth is that degree is much smaller…

I don’t want tyranny. But you’re saying that Obama is a terrible President because he ordered a man killed in another country without due process, but I think most people would argue that a worse alternative would be allowing terrorists to operate and even launch attacks in the name of...what...respecting their…

If the choice is between a President who kills people overseas for trying to recruit terrorists without due process and one who would shrug his shoulders after events such as Charleston and say “what do you want from me?” I'll take the former, thanks. Anwar can go fuck himself. Race relations in this country are a…

I don't want to be a downer, but...the lemons in Sorrento are unlike any other lemons on earth, so can you really make limoncello with just ordinary lemons? Having said that, I will try this.

My fellow Aussies and I have got this all worked out. Back in the late 90’s there was a big outbreak of giardiasis/cryptosporidium in our water supply in Sydney and Melbourne (somehow Queensland was spared?) and you couldn’t drink the water for a few weeks. Then they announced ‘oh, it’s cool, it’s probably been there…

I literally had to get out of bed, go downstairs, and make an ice cream sundae because of that photo. Well done, sir.

That’s him trying too hard to prove he’s not shallow. “See, guys, I’m not shallow? I said I noticed her personality first!” Brother, no. First of all, what you're describing is pretty much impossible. You saw this person but somehow noticed her personality before her physical features? Second, you're kind of saying…

Not really a neg, but related. My wife has a client who is a dentist. The dentist said to her: “you need Botox. I can help.” I do not think my wife needs Botox.
