If a guy calls a girl a slut guys have no problem believing him. But if 40 women accuse a guy of being a sexual predator people still don’t believe them.

Reminds me of this story that was going around for a while. Dunno if it’s true, but it makes a great point:

You know, WASP United States! Cause the only way you’re real citizens is if you killed the people that were here first.

I’m Canadian but we have blowhards here too who say shit like “Canada is for real Canadians” meaning, of course, white people... to which I like to politely respond by asking if they consider me a “real Canadian”, which they do... I then remind them that my family has only been in Canada for about 70-75 years,…

My people been here for over 10,000 years. We were here before there was an America. Some still don't consider us real Americans or even real.

And then this douche gives the limp, half-hearted apology that he wasn’t calling for violence. It basically amounted to “Don’t arrest me, because despite the fact that my first tweet was obviously calling for violence, I really wasn’t. Mmmmk?”

Once again confirming that I, a person whose ancestors were brought to U.S. shores 200+ years ago—long before the immigrant ancestors of many a white person—am still not a “Real American” with the rights of full citizenship. Thanks, Joe Walsh, for reminding me.

Well, you know...as opposed to “Fake America”.

“Real America”

Syria isn’t just “attacked” by one clearly defined super villain - it is fighting a bloody civil war with a myriad of different factions fighting each other PLUS the government bombing everyone PLUS Russia bombing PLUS daesh trying to gain new territory. Please tell me, what exactly is the average, peace-loving Syrian…

First of all, everyone isn’t leaving and of those who have, many are waiting in refugee camps until they can return home safely. Nobody’s leaving because they actually wanted to be chased out of their homes by bombs and extremist nut jobs and a myriad of fighting factions. How exactly would you suggest that these…

Well, you’re analogy is bad because as it stands now the US isn’t being lead by a tyrannical dictator intent on committing genocide against his own people just because he can. The choice for Syrian men isn’t fight for your country or flee; the choice here is get conscripted by a crazy person who’s likely actively…

This is tangential I suppose, but I appreciate that you mentioned that many men are fleeing conscription and/or going ahead on the dangerous journey of a refugee with the intention of bringing their brides/families once they are safely established somewhere else. Apparently these valid reasons for Syrian men to be…

In Germany they were known as Stahlhelmhochzeit (steel helmet wedding), named after the typical helmet of the German army. The groom had to write an authorization that he agreed to marry his bride. This was read out when it would have been his turn to say “I do”.

Similar weddings happened during WWII.

I was going to be snarky about weddings without men being preferable anyway, but this is so heartbreaking :(

Last night, when I was giving out cake, the Son in Law said that she shouldn’t be allowed to sue because she chose to continue working there. I literally took the fork out of his hand and said that he can’t have any until he pulls his head out of his ass. I’m not fooling around with these people anymore. No more aid…

I work in juvenile justice as a youth advocate. We deal with kids once the police are done with them, essentially. I have thought so many times over the years that if I had acted in the way I’ve seen many cops act, I’d be fired. It’s like they actually think escalating a situation will work. In fact, I had an officer…

Really bad time for a tangent. A black man was just murdered by the police.

Have you tried summering on the continent?
