Yeah but putting non violent drug offenders in jail gives a lot of people work. Whether it’s the municipalities running the prisons, or the private prison industry, there are people who actively lobby to jail people for “intent to sell” so that they will be in prison longer and make more money for more people. It’s…

Someplace where I was raised to be smart enough to not take the bait! Have the back O’ me hand!!

Most of the people who whine about “The Irish were oppressed too!!” know nothing about Irish history and just heard that. If you ask them who Patrick Pearse is or what caused the Protestant/Catholic divide, or what life like for the truly oppressed Irish (those poor Catholics living, many is Ulster, in beyond abject…

Somebody needs to post the Bobby Roode theme under this comment!

The difference is, racism is so deeply institutionalized in the South, that people will fight to keep a symbol of slavery flying over their state Capitol. There is tons of racism in the North. I have lived in both the North and South however (and now the Southwest) and no place I have been comes close to the bigotry…

Yeah, but the problem is, the overwhelming majority of people who commit these crimes are men. It is undoubtedly a gender issue. Sexual violence and child rape is part our misogynist, toxically masculine culture. To look away and deny that is to be an apologist for child rape.

This is yet another area where the ridiculous and derailing “flase rape accusations” narrative pushed by MRAs and thier ilk has caused serious damage. For every one, rare false allegation, there are hundreds or thousands of rapists that never see justice because the victims are dismissed in the despicable rape culture…

What always gets me is how after the latest racist shitstorm from Boston fans, that fan base will rush to the media and internet to shout about how they aren’t racist and haven’t seen racism in Boston, and yet, inevitably that next day their sports talk radio will be filled with racist hosts taking calls from racist…

Yeah, we need someone screaming and yelling in there. (Rolls eyes) Costas is an excellent baseball play by play guy.

8 HR is worth far more than 30 steals. Steals are, with a few specific situational exceptions, useless. Also, his WAR is so high because he rates as quite a bit better than “slightly above average” in CF. Watch him play before you say really, really stupid things like “The consensus best player in baseball is…

This. The constant victimhood that Boston likes to engage in. They want to keep their “put upon, long suffering fan base” mentality, despite everyone of their teams winning a championship in recent history. Despite the Brady/NFL thing, NOBODY gets calls like the Pats. The Bruins are the divingest, dirtiest team in…

Just wait til Machado signs with the Yankees next year! The Red Sox fans will be in apoplexy. I think we will reach the booing Singularity when the Yankees go to Fenway with a lineup that includes Machado and Bryce Harper in 2018.

To be fair, Curt Schilling decided to stay home tonight.

Well, it would be, but he’s talking about Boston, a fourth rate city he gave WAY to much credit to.

Lol, no. He didn’t. He executed a normal pop up slide used all the time in baseball. Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

“I’m just not super annoying” says the guy who started this exchange with his whiny complaints about someone mentioning politics. How did it go? Oh yeah! It started with “Jesus FUCKING CHRIST”, so just to be sure, since I know I would be biased, I showed your original post to several people, without telling them I had…

The late 80's? Oh you mean when Keith Olbermann was there? Yeah, no politics from that guy. What a maroon that e-mailer is.

That’s a cute hot take.

Brave New World should replace 1984 on that list as it’s view of the future has turned out to be much more accurate. The masses being placated by mind numbing but pleasant entertainment and drugs instead of the harsh torture of the Orwellian world.

You’re so right! We should always ignore issues and make sure we watch this week’s episode of KUWTK!!!! Thanks for opening my eyes to futility of caring about what goes on in the world, and the fact that people only do so for recognition from others!!!
