It always bothers me when there isn’t garbage can near the door. I’m not touching that nasty handle with my clean hands.

To be clear, I was not arguing that it IS illegal in the US. It is protected under the first amendment and there is substantial judicial precedent on that. I was only arguing that it may not be a good thing that such behavior is legal. I understand there are multiple sides, and in the end, I really don’t trust the…

I think I agree that the consequences shouldn’t be legal, but I do think the school should have the authority to require a basic level of conduct from their students on their campus. Screaming racial slurs in public id inherently disruptive, abusive, and harassing behavior.
Legally, part of me also thinks it’s pretty…

On the actual issues, he’s in line with the “moderate” Democratic candidates (https://www.politico.com/2020-election/candidates-views-on-the-issues/michael-bloomberg/). Since no Democratic president is likely to pass major legislation, he’s presidency would probably be very similar to the other candidates. I even get…

Welcome to America in 2020 when our choices for president may be two old white racist misogynistic billionaire men from New York. In a sane world, neither would ever be considered for such a position, but in this world many of us may be essentially forced to fight to elect the one that won’t destroy the judiciary for…

Lol, you’re in the wrong place if you’re trying to argue that people here think the US is the arbiter of righteousness and good.

You’re not wrong about American racism or slavery, but you really need to get out of your own ass about Europe’s supposed superiority. Much of the wealth of Europe was built through the…

Yeah, I’m not a monster because I personally support gay rights and reproductive rights; I’m just willing to throw the LGBTQ community and women under the bus for sweet sweet tax cuts. 

Fertilized eggs are not people. If a fully-formed clinically brain dead body is not a person, then there is no way that a fucking embryo is a person.

If one’s goal as a vegan is to encourage sustainable and humane choices, then this is the stupidest possible decision. First, you’re ok with going to Burger King, which is a business that makes a ton of money selling animal-based products, so you’re already supporting the meat and dairy industries. Second, no…

That is completely false. Milk is mostly water filled with lactose, fats, and protein. The fat and casein, which contains the calcium, is why it is white. Why would mammals feed their white blood cells to their babies? 

Clinton gets a lot of undeserved shit from a lot of people, but not clearly saying that she prefers Sanders to Trump is some petty bullshit. If Trump gets to replace RBG, then we’re fucked for decades because they will strike down any really progressive policies and they will protect far right policies enacted in red…

The students were split into groups to develop some sort of presentations, and the students in those groups selected black students to portray a slave and someone during the Jim Crow era drinking from a segregated water fountain. 

College professors don’t have anything like that (I am one). There are topics you need to cover in classes based on what you tell the accreditors, but how you cover them (e.g., assignments, quizzes, exams) is pretty much completely up to the individual professor. Any issues would only come up reactively based on…

What’s the word that begins with a “D” and indicates someone is a dumbass? It’s on the tip on my tongue. Like someone who is just an epic dumbass and doesn’t even realize it.
For instance, this person might not know the difference between generalizations made in passing about privileged groups and systemic racism…

It's almost like European royals have been inbreeding for centuries. 

Obviously, only “Real Men” endlessly rant about how insecure they are over recognizing the achievements of badass women. 

I love Elizabeth Banks, but comparing Spider-Man as an IP to Charlie’s Angels is pretty absurd. Spider-Man has been in the public consciousness for over 55 years. There are popular comics, toys, costumes, collectibles, several animated series, and multiple movies. Charlie’s Angels was a moderately successful TV show…

He’s sorry, good. He should be. He can show his actual regret by dropping his egotistical presidential bid and spending his billions on electing candidates and supporting causes promoting racial justice nationwide. That’ll prove that this isn’t just a convenient flip-flop in the name of political expediency.

I hated that episode. I had been to that pirate bar a few times, and it definitely had problems. But calling it Corporate just seemed like a big “Fuck You” to the owner for disagreeing with him so much and wanting to keep the quirky pirate theme. I also thought the name was dumb as hell. Who wants to think of…

Why are you shocked that Trump only got 8%? Romney and McCain got 6% and 4%, respectively, against Obama. W won 8% and 11% in 2000 and 2004, respectively. Since 1976, no Republican has cracked 12%, and no republican has received over 15% since Nixon in 1960. Trump in 2016 wasn’t some anomaly.
