You sound unbearably classist. The uncomfortable truth is that the position of our country in the world is directly related to the military might we project. The idea that such a vast and diverse organization is populated by people who “aren’t smart” reveals just how patronizing you must be. It’s not hyperbole when

You should really read about religious orthodoxy. In the five “world” religions and all of their sects, women always get the short end. The idea and practice of female equality is a recent development to people whose doctrinal teachings stretch back millennia.

Baylor is private, so it's under no obligation to release a report. This case is simply another reason why we shouldn't give schools quasi-judicial authority to investigate serious crimes.

In the real sense, they weren’t communists. Their joining the party, but still retaining their wealth and obvious privilege simply revealed them to be well-meaning dilettantes.

No one is an official Commie, you idiot. That’s the point. Kahlo is romanticized as something she wasn’t; Guevara, too.

I guess it depends on your opinion of elite zealots with mysterious levels of adoration, given their horrible crimes. Also, Kahlo wasn't a Communist.

But they didn’t become Communists. Frieda certainly didn’t. Communism is a non-starter in the sense that it’s conceptually valid, but impractical in reality. It asks that everyone subordinate themselves to the welfare of the whole. Kahlo was a wealthy person, sure, but she was also an artist. Art is an extremely

Um, yeah, but he was also a mass murderer, something conveniently forgotten by the wearers of t-shirts.

Just once, I’d like a reporter to say, “Bullshit. Bull-fucking-shit. If you actually expect anyone to believe you, you are goddamn delusional. Didn’t expect it to get out? The fuck are you actually saying to me? That you think I’m an idiot? Because you knew just what was gonna happen. You know what, I gotta go.”

Well then, why give a shit about any other shot in BB but the dunk? It’s the most efficient and highest percentage, so that means that a jump shooter is overrated compared to a dunker.

You can’t get shitfaced and immunize yourself from robbery, do you really think rape is any different? Rapists are criminals. Criminals take advantage of people least able to defend themselves. It’s naive in the extreme to think that rapists and robbers are going to respect your right to freedom from molestation, just

But, you likely live in an apartment building where everyone else has their heat on. No heat = death in the Northeast. Same with no air conditioning.

Because, like it or not, there is a species hierarchy. You cannot function, no matter how hard you try, without benefitting from the death of animals. A vegan who takes medicine of almost any type is a hypocrite. One who gets surgery, the same. Like it or not, a “principle” can't be practiced if it legitimately can't

The fact that you aren't part of the judicial system, can't conduct searches or actually prosecute.

Seniority isn't just based on cumulative tenure, but also time in a particular position. You can be a long term employee with the least seniority on a team.

Have you ever in your life been to another country? Because runners do make money outside the US.

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?
