I’m all for women getting equal opportunity. But, an argument that GoT is a “women’s story” and should therefore be directed by a woman isn’t really logical, particularly when the creator of the story is an elderly man. Further, I think we agree that women are equally as capable of telling male stories.

Dude, if someone hits you, then you are one of two parties who have been in an accident. There’s a difference between identifying that at-fault party and all of the parties involved. There’s no moral superiority attached to letting someone injure you if you could have avoided the incident, regardless of the other

So what? When did he become a Democrat? How much time, money and effort did he dedicate to getting other Democratic candidates elected?

It wasn’t undemocratic. Politics is about electability. Unless you’re shockingly unrealistic, Sanders had no shot at beating HRC. None.

The statistics on this matter. We allow fallible people to pilot all manner of vehicles and we know how many accidents occur and how they occur. We accept those risks. So, if we can extrapolate from the (admittedly) meager data that far, far fewer accidents and deaths would result from autonomous vehicle adoption,

Nope. Strict liability in most cases. Rear ending another car is bad news.

That’s dumb as shit. If the accident they cause involves you, then it’s not their “own” accident. You can be injured whether you hit someone or they hit you, and if slowing down is the riskier choice over swerving, then swerve it should be.

I’m pro-choice, but I think how you view your pregnancy is largely determined by whether or not you wanted it to occur or, alternatively, desire its outcome. By definition it’s a medical condition, but it’s also potential (not a person) for a radically altered life.

Um, she’s raising money. Charities in Africa aren’t too particular about the whole “white people potentially exploiting black people according to some Americans sitting on the couch in their nice apartments”. They have immediate and horrible needs. So, if they can co-opt some well-meaning white person to help them

It’s illegal. Doesn’t matter that what they did was good. It’s illegal. The easiest way to kill a good liberal program is to illustrate non-compliance with Federal law.

I am certain we don't need more reasons to dislike those dudes.

There is only one way to eat mac and cheese, and it ain't sensibly.

No them, no here. Pretty simple.

So, whaddya think happened to the Monster marketing guy who went to the office one day and said, “Guys, we have a ridiculous opportunity in the Japanese 4-banger mod demo. I’m talking huge bucks in free advertising alone. I’ve already ordered 50,000 decals.”

I’ve wondered before, now I’m straight up asking...why not say,”...to prevent motorization...”, or,”...use of motors...”, or just, “...cheating.”?

Yeah, no. Ours is a secular society, with guarantees of equal protection under the law. Public servants don’t swear to uphold their interpretation of whatever it is they think God might have said, they swear to uphold the Constitution. Which document, I might add, forbids the establishment of religion. If a civil

If I were a citizen of Mississippi, I’d be utterly unsurprised. The place is Kazakhstan, without the glitz.

1. Get on the court.

It’s pretty clear they didn’t have a good case. No matter how strongly we might feel, rape isn’t dissimilar from any other crime in that there are evidentiary standards that must be met and doubt that must be eliminated in order for a successful prosecution.

Yeah, it worked out so badly for Cleveland. Why would Miami ever want to do something like that, mend a fence and win a championship? That’s crazy.
