Yes, lets have the perfect be the enemy of the good...again. So many potentially excellent ideas have been abandoned because we expect them to perform perfectly (or rather just want to try and make ourselves look smart by picking holes in something conceived of by someone smarter than ourselves) right off the bat. Any…

I’m sure Scarango doesn’t want to deal with the Führer of someone who shows up to find they’ve already been purchased.

Remember the First Law of Crisis: Panic about one thing at a time.

why isnt THIS trending in newsfeeds? instead of celebrity garbage? way to go kid. this is a true hero for our generation.

Seriously, Wiserman? You’re accusing a billion people of being too sensitive? Let’s flip the script:

Whoa buddy!

A bigot across the aisle telling her to shut the fuck up isn't a small slight. Its wrong and I don't care what religion you adhere to, it is unacceptable to treat another human being like that. And if you're talking about the Buddhist monks in Mayanmar and their completely unBuddhist attitudes and actions regarding…

Except the unhinged racist rantings didn’t seem to trigger an emergency landing. To say “that was wrong,” didn’t demand anything other than the basic courage and decency to speak one clear and declarative sentence. No fuss or chaos required.

I’ve been handed unopened soda cans on many carriers, United included. But then again I was white and not wearing a hijab so clearly was no threat (eye-roll).

I cannot understand why no one spoke up for her. Especially when the bigot told her to shut the fuck up. No way in hell would I have kept my mouth shut.

I know Tahera. She is the real deal, and a totally reasonable human being who gives everybody the benefit of the doubt. This is bullshit and shouldn’t happen to anyone. But it probably happens all the time, and I’m glad she’s in a position to call it out.

Live look at his election victory speech

Oh! What sweet deals his underlings will make to toss his rancid carcass under the bus of Awesome American Justice!

Better than getting ‘blackeyed’.

How is accurately labeling something from the region known as Nubia as Nubian in any way racist? Every single aspect of your comment is poorly thought out and nonsensical.

You are going back to Mohammad and the Ottomans? Because other religions and empires were such a great group of people. It was “civilization” that committed the Holocaust. It was Christianity and Europe that did the WWI and WWII, it was Europe that did the most barbaric of colonial regimes. It was the United States…

Before the Islamaphobes and racists show up (two groups that practically overlap for all intents and purposes), ISIS has about as much to do with Islam as AUM has to do with Buddhism and Peoples Temple to Christianity.

I’m not surprised. Despite the fact that he ruined The Hobbit by stretching the material into three films and adding extra, needless subplots, Peter Jackson is quite the fan of keeping the Tolkienian world pure - which means good old fashioned colonial, British racism.

“This happened when they were making The Hobbit. They needed to cast background actors, specifically background hobbits.

Wow well where to start? I guess I should preface this all by saying I did mine in Biochemistry, so it was a full-time 9-5 in the lab type thing with plenty of writing/reading homework on top of that. Also came in on weekends plenty of times to get stuff done, start experiments that need many days to complete etc.
