So many questions this article does not answer. Was the teacher the one that chose the word for the game? Was the word actually the n word instead of nagger as the South Park episode being touted in the comments points out? Why were they playing hang man in the first place? Was anyone recorded in the phone video, or…

You are absolutely right that it is not up to the oppressed to dismantle racism!

So instead of teaching your child to stand up for themselves and to remove themselves from potential bullying situations, your solution is to assault, intimidate, and bully someone 1/3 your age? I don’t know the particulars of this situation (As no one does. The article says the girl confronted the bully first in the…

An appropriate penalty for ANY crime is whatever it takes to make the victim whole, and the perpetrator NEVER commit said crime again. If the penalty is such that the person would ever in their life commit the crime again for any reason other than pure survival, then the penalty was not harsh enough.

You make a lot of really good points in this argument, but as a history teacher I would like to clear a few details up. To The South, it wasn’t exactly about preserving and expanding a way of life. The Democrats were losing ground in many states because of the Republican push back against expansion of Slavery. When…

This is the biggest problem with the piracy argument. How are you a thief when nothing was taken, and no one lost anything because of the nothing being taken? The truth is, that anti-piracy arguments only save poorly developed products,or indie products that didn’t have that final push to be what they could have with…

You used ethical improperly. There is nothing morally wrong with copying something (so long as you don’t sell it in lieu of someone else, or claim it as your own). The problem with piracy is that you are doing nothing wrong. You are not stealing; you are not depriving anyone of anything. Like you point out, he could…

Looking into the literary elements within the LotR series and JRR Tolkien’s own command over the English language and creation of Elvish as an actual language, this actually makes a lot of sense for a game set in this universe. I do however have a problem with “poetry” that doesn’t have a set rhythm, cadence, varying…

Okay, seriously think for a minute. In no way is a Voter ID racist or a burden to someone’s right to vote, and is a VERY beneficial thing.

As with many things, it would not stop someone dead set on trouble, but in most situations it will limit or stop people too lazy or unintelligent to do this themselves. (You can buy a 3d printer, router, CNC, etc and make your own unregistered guns. Things are very easy to access on the Dark Net, but for many, that…

I feel the need to point out that some of these people probably ARE animals, but on the whole, I have to question the purpose of prison. Prison as a punishment has shown very little deterrent to crime (even with all the illegal things you mention happening with such frequency as to be considered public knowledge).…

It’s a good thing the Colonists were able to overthrow the British with nothing more than grit, citizen Militias, and vast amounts of wealth that didn’t have to be borrowed from anyone. Imagine how things could have turned out if we had to ask a foreign nation with animosity toward The British to help us out.…

I give you a star for everything you said except the first paragraph, as I never expressed a desire to overthrow the government and felt that your comment began by implying that I did. The rest of what you said I absolutely agree with!

That is exactly what I meant when I said the founding fathers had no idea what the future would hold (tactical nukes?). Obviously it’s not a good idea to let civilians have everything the government has, and the fact that no civilian militia can conceivably overthrow a modern military is where these supporters have…

Um... Blacks are 13% of the US... You stated in the article, that 16% of mass shootings were committed by blacks... Simple math would also show that 1 person out of 13% (black) [or 1 in 42 million] vs 1 person of 63% (white) [1 in 203.5 million] are representative of a different percent of said total population.

Which gets at the heart of the argument. Many of the things we tell people they can’t do, we have no right to tell them. Some of these rights are written into our founding documents with the intention that as long as our country exists, they cannot be taken away. While the founding fathers had no idea what the future…

Except a fast trigger finger emulates rapid fire, and an actual rapid fire can be incredibly slow (as rapid fire generally means you hold the trigger and the magazine empties without having to pull the trigger again, not necessarily the speed at which bullets can fire) . As far as the bump stock is concerned, it’s…

This entire article is just you reciting your own racial prejudices. If you actually treat any of the people that you have described above differently (walk on the other side of the road, go down a different isle) then these prejudices become racist actions. Was the point of this article to state problems in your own…

Interesting article, and like many others, these rules are pretty ingrained, but I would like to pop out the question of a Beret as they do not tip, or lift in the same manner when meeting someone.
