Most of their employees are actually outsourced.

yes, when I see the caliber of my local TSA agents, my homeland security fears are assuaged.

They caused a head injury to a deaf, partially blind teenager with a brainstem tumor. GOOD JOB, ASSHOLES.

I’m railing against someone using someone’s geographical origins as an insult. Why do you think that’s okay?

“Don’t tell these people you’re not American. That just draws out their xenophobia. The only kind of xenophobia they don’t like is the kind directed at Mexicans because it’s what Trump does. Everyone else is fair game because they think nobody else is affected by US domestic politics so they shouldn’t be allowed to…

S/he’s being disingenuous and self-righteous as hell and it’s amusing to watch him/her dance.

So it’s okay when you sarcastically generalize and you can’t say that you won’t do it again because you’re in the right and merely want to help others by generalizing about Americans. You don’t care about the discussion. Just letting everyone know how xenophobic all the commenters will be.

Oh, it’s Clinton supporters now, huh? You realize that this isn’t a verbal conversation, at any point someone can scroll back through the thread and see exactly where you keep shifting the goalposts.

Oh lord. Poor, precious snowflake. How do you manage to live? Please do explain all the sufferings of the oppresed classes of which you are not a member.

You’re choosing “wacky Brits” and “Eurotrash” as your social justice hill to die on. Must be exhausting to be you.

I actually should try harder not to do that and would usually call someone out for going too far in the way I did.

“Eurotrash” isn’t an actual thing, though. It’s not an oppressed class, either. Like “ugly American” isn’t really a xenophobic insult.

I believe it was a tongue-in-cheek response to someone claiming he is smarter than all the actual US citizens voting in a US election because he voted for someone, somewhere, in 1980.

What? Why in god’s name is this your hill to die on? You’d be better served defending what this non-American is actually saying, not clutching your pearls over some derogatory terms that two — count them, TWO — people called them, as opposed to addressing what pretty much everybody else in this thread is saying. Not…

Uh, non-Americans can and do comment on US politics on Gawker/Jez all the time. But that’s not the reason they get attacked (aka contradicted) if they spout unsubstantiated, tinfoil bullshit gleaned from tumblr that makes no logical sense whatsoever.

If you are not enough of an adult to figure out what kind of fucking disaster Trump would be for not just those in the United States, the entire world, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Actually, this is BERNIE’S job. It is not another constituent’s job to get a fellow constituent to make a decision like an adult and read the damned platform. Why in the hell is all this handholding necessary? Are you not an adult?

If you don’t give a shit enough about the country to vote to make sure Trump isn’t president, if that isn’t in your heart and your soul, you really think some random from the internet being mean is the problem? REALLY????

He IS handsome, right? I feel a bit shallow for saying this, but O’Malley is kind of a hottie.

Do not hold your vote hostage and expect people to treat you like an adult.
