And then going into full-blown crazy: "Where's Torquemada when you need him?" Damn right, Mike, bout time someone took care of those Jews!

Can't get much more simultaneously hateful and stupid than that. What a colossal moron.

Have you read the interview he did with a Post reporter about this? After every single response from him she adds a note explaining how much his response actually meshes with the reality. It ends up really driving home how much of a vacant blowhard he is. I hope this style of interview becomes a thing.

Man here, agreeing completely with your second paragraph. Both in what I've seen from other men and in myself :(

Ehhhh, Biden described himself as a Zionist in 2007, as did David Cameron (admittedly both were in campaign mode, but still). In general I agree with you though, it seems most useful to extremists on both sides.

I dunno, there are plenty of pro-Israel types who describe themselves as Zionists.

Pageviews. Write something provocative to bring the clicks in. Remember those articles about Tiger Mom's new book?

God damn, I was sure it was a boring tongue or something but actually a human? A Saracen child? I...wow. Can't even think of a witty response. Just wow.

Is that a half-eaten person in the snake's mouth? Or fire? Maybe a triple forked tongue?

But you are equal...under the Market. If the Market deems a woman of less worth, well, clearly she must be doing less work. And if women in general work less hard than men—which doesn't surprise me, delicate creatures that they are—then the Market will respond in kind. Equal pay for equal work, see?

I don't see how it's even possible "to judge people by anything other than their actions and words." My statement was more aimed at self-reflection, like "hmmm, I keep having these racist thoughts, perhaps I am a bit racist, I should try to understand why that is."

Correct. You should not be thrown in jail for thinking racist thoughts. (Great job taking down that straw man, though! Even managed to trivialize Orwell too)

Wow. "Alpha male," "Now let me tell you how it works in the real world"? You sound like you came right out of r/theredpill.

Seconded. I don't judge people for their pubic hair preferences, but I will judge the hell out of people who make creepy non sequitur remarks like that. On an article about sexual harassment, no less. Thanks for propping up the creepy gamer stereotype, guys!

It's definitely more insulting to her/our intelligence. "Oh I'm SO SORRY, let me make it all about ME and MY PROBLEMS." And NO, it doesn't count if you add "but I'm not using my dead brother as an excuse." If you need to clarify your apology, you're doing it wrong. This is not about poor little you and your problems,…

come on Lindy, it's GODAMMIT, not GODAMNIT.

Me too. Trendiness is the death knell for meaningfulness. You can't put something on the cover of TIME unless it's been properly diluted to the point that no one takes offense and everyone can understand it. Christ, this country/world/media market...

I'm assuming our government went with low-cost, no-default loans over subsidized education because...the Market Is The Source Of All Good Things? I mean I know obviously there was lobbying, but as far as how they justified it on paper.

Fellow grammar nazi here, I sympathize. Makes for a great screening mechanism, since no one really tries to hide or cover up for it.

I'm not going to defend the US's foreign policy record—my government has done and continues to do truly horrible things. Frankly, I think becoming a superpower was one of the worst things ever to happen to the United States. Not a fan of US hegemony here. But that is a debate for another time. In this specific…
