This is very much worth repeating: You want to wear the funny hat to get into heaven or whatever, that’s great. Imma happy for you. You want to make it illegal for me to not wear the funny hat, now we got a problem.

This.
But her boyfriend probably *will* try something along those lines. I don’t know much about the specifics of this case, but as Vagenius has been telling you, there’s nothing particularly gendered about the accused trying every defense - however batshit (although I wouldn’t consider this defense particularly outlandish)…
Seconded.
So... um... is no one else thinking about what might happen in a large arena of Trump supporters and Bernie supporters?
Shouldn’t you be posting this persecution-rant on an MRA site somewhere?
Well we can put him in unmanned spaceship and send him on his way to sun.
And I’m reading your responses to other people. I respect your views and your articulation of them. I”m a fan of the Vag!
Oh, I’d be all over Republicanism if any of them were fiscally conservative. All anyone needs to do is look at the Federal budget to know that they aren’t. I grew up in a bastion of liberality and recently moved to the buckle of the bible belt. There’s nothing fiscally conservative about rejecting Obamacare and…
The headline should have presumed her guilt? I mean, lookit, douche: The headline says, “Defendant in American Eagle Murder Says She Was Coerced By Boyfriend”.
my sister in law is starting a career in federal law enforcement, and while she is still quite liberal, I’ve started to see some personal responsibility/bootstraps rhetoric from her, that she’s likely parroting from the old white (probably conservative) feds that she looks up to. It’s a little alarming.
100% this. When I left my home town in rural NY, there were I think 4 black people in the town, and the only Mexicans worked on the farms. Everyone else was white. Then I went to college, I was able to interact with people who came from different cultures, different backgrounds, people that had different beliefs and…
Exactly. I think it has much more to do with critical thinking education which is much more prominent in college than high school. And I think it perfectly represents why, in some places, the GOP is doing everything they can to hinder critical (or really just “challenging”) thought in schools.
Good point about higher ed by the author- I also don’t buy the liberal indoctrination in higher ed thing, based on my own experience. I became the insufferable liberal I am today at a christian college. My teachers weren’t particularly conservative, but neither were they overtly liberal. And my peers skewed…
Kind of the same here. I don’t know what my parents really were back when I was a kid - politics was STRICTLY a private issue. My parents didn’t even tell each other who they’d voted for, because that’s private. It really helped me learn, like you said, how to get information from multiple sources and process it. To…
Me too! Southern Baptist and all. I was even in an anti-abortion play in church once.
That’s not entirely fair—a lot of teens aren’t really educated on the issues, and if their families and friends are conservative and that’s all they know, they’re more likely to lean conservative. I was the same way (sans boyfriend) because I was raised in a very conservative Christian environment. I grew up and then…
Loved this. It so so so sums up my life politically—I grew up in rural Kentucky in a very conservative Southern Baptist family. When I registered to vote when I was 18, I registered Independent, but still voted Republican with my parents. When I was a freshman in college I was on the email list for the campus pro-life…
I thank God everyday for my parents. They were relatively conservative (Mom still is fiscally conservative and recognizes that no one in Government actually is, but she still has hope that our taxes will pay for infrastructure, schools and no more “entangling alliances,” not to mention Corporate welfare...) but what…
