I'll copy my response to someone else;

It's a technicality, I just remember my mother used to tell me that you can support a movement and not be part of it. She was one of those Jews who was obsessed with the Civil Rights movement and she used to say to me (paraphrasing from Swiss-German)

I am a guy and even I understand the need of powerful women to support (at least vocally) the feminist cause, they are role models and shape the minds of both young women and men. However (you knew there was going to be a however) if she doesn't believe in it (as she has clearly demonstrated) its probably not a good…

The NRA is made up of its members, they vote on leadership and policy on the schedule of a "election". With the majority of the NRA believing one thing the leadership will be selected based off that view.

I don't know where you get your info from but the majority of NRA members are for universal background checks and banning the sale of weapons to criminals.

I didn't say it was "harmful", I just said it was analogous... If history has taught us anything is that stereotyping does not always have to be "harmful". If you say that all gun owners are violent or that all gun owners who disagree with your point of view are violent you are stereotyping. If you say that all gun…

How did I know that would be your response? Rarely do people engage on the facts but look for quick easy retorts.

Look, I don't want to sound condescending, I am sure as a gun owner (and knowing many other gun owners) I have spent a lot more wasted energy and thought on this.

Seriously? Did he threaten to kill you? You can't infring on someone's right for calling you a "retard"... I realize that to you guns are stupid but some people look at them as an essential right enshrined in the constitution, someone who gets angry at your view of that is not wrong, someone who calls you a retard…

I actually wanted to post this as well... The mother seems to have a good head on her shoulders and is really looking out for her children and family future. She may be playing into a stereotype but she knows it, embraces it and is ensuring an upward movement for her family. If only more mothers were like this…

<—-Swiss-German here, grew up in Zurich and Berlin and I was the only Jew in my school, area, and group of friends. I was exported nearly an hour away to go to Synagogue to get Bar Mitzvah'd...

I think I need to take some alprazolam after that song... I like the dog though.

What makes her all the more amazing (ETA - if true) is that I have heard that a number of private and corporate security groups in the region and UK have offered her family free unobtrusive coverage for a year... A friend told me that her family had turned down multiple offers because 'the same security cannot be…

It's somewhat dismaying (not sure if a real word) that you need to feel like that, I firmly believe in personal freedom and I try not to be a hypocrite. Freedom to drink, smoke, inject, marry whomever or whatever you want...

No, I am not... I am a person who has a lot of guilt and remorse who finds it theraputic to try to assuage those feelings through my chosen actions. Yes I know it is terribly cliche but its for me as much as it is for anyone else.

You should in no way feel guilty, it is YOUR right to go or not go. But you must know that even if you had gone you still had to live with this, regret can be a powerful emotion that can in many ways be worse then action itself.

Your confusing societal norms with criminal act, Egypt is not Europe, they don't look at male-female relationships the same way you or I do... They also do not accept people dressing as they wish like a Western nation would. I know it sucks but you cannot expect to move to Egypt and be treated like you would in…

Someone in the US raped you at a party right in front of others and nobody did or said anything?!? What about the fucking police?!?

That is sickening...

Yes, it makes no sense and all I can think is that it is some sort of misdirected rage or frustration... They are turning on those who are different then the majority around them thinking that they are not part of their cause and thus minimizing the action.
