Jesus Christ, even as a pretty liberal Dem, I knew you’d somehow shit on a deceased 92 year old woman. She wasn’t Maya fucking Angelou, but she was still a nice lady.
We sit here in America in comfortable office chairs complaining about Trump’s proposal to build a wall on our Southern Border.
Already did my upgrade. Best Gameboy is original GBA with an upgraded backlit screen. You can easily get a new shell, lens and buttons as well. About $35-40 in parts and an hour of your time and you will have a new feeling, completely restored, brightly backlit GBA. It feels 1000% better in your hands than the GBA SP…
To be fair, there’s a spectrum here. I don’t think any reasonable person was pining for Bush as much as making the point that things are so shitty now that Bush looks better. Which is saying something.
Take the L dude.
to THAT CLIP OF ROBERT DOWNEY JR. IN BLACKFACE FROMTROPIC THUNDER (are we just going to ignore that?)
He should have behaved so much better. There’s really no excuse. But his power doesn’t make Monica innocent either. She had as much power to upend his presidency and disrupt the political momentum of the democratic party. She was not persued or coerced, according to her if was the other way around. She was the one…
The sure are, except when the employee is on record saying she initiated and pursued contact with the employer.
I once ate dinner on Boylston Street three years before the Boston Marathon bombings. Pretty crazy, feels like I was there.
Grief tourism is so annoying. Just because someone once walked the halls of a place that is the site of a tragedy decades later, it doesn’t make them any more attached to the situation.
Thousands of former slaves and free men didn’t line up to view his casket in reverence on its way to Washington all across the country because he was perfect, but because he was good and did good when he was finally called to do it on a national scale.
He cared about black people, because he cared about people. Did he see black people are equals? No. But then again most white people didn’t back then, and most don’t, today, either.
I dunno dude, if an example of hate speech used in such a manner can offend this quickly, maybe don’t sign up for a class with hate speech in the title. It really doesn’t sound like a required course for the general student body, these students picked it and then got upset when the class really did decide to cover the…
As much of a buffoon as this professor sounds like, he’s correct on that point. Making someone uncomfortable is not oppression, and to conflate the two is to make the concept of oppression nearly meaningless. If you don’t want to be confronted with words or concepts that make you uncomfortable, then maybe a class on…
In any other context, I’d side with the kids. But Princeton is supposed to be where the social and intellectual elite is educated and prepared for the burden of leading the world and this was literally a class about hate speech. If this isn’t the class to discuss challenging and controversial issues, uh, what is?
People are safer and healthier than they’ve ever been at any time in history.
thanks for following the tried and true Gawker (tm) brand response to valid criticism which is “thanks for reading!” instead of actually addressing your completely obvious and glaring misunderstanding of the situation
And yet another mature response from an author on the site. My god, I thought commenting was supposed to be about discussion and debate and all I get is slammed. How many times do I have to say that I realize now that I used the wrong words to describe what I meant and realize that it came across completely…
You should change the headline - even if just for this woman's sake - yes, she had an abortion but she did so for a very specific reason and it's click bait to leave the headline as is. I was horrified by the title and then immediately realized it was misleading.
