I know right. I’d just say though maybe shy away from casting specific blame onto the creators here? Like their jobs aren’t hard enough as it is with all the terrible commenters constantly bringing up pretty bad ideas. I mean, there was a reason for the recent purge you know? I don’t know. I’m seeing results. The…

Yup. I love Austin, but those people need to wake up and take a look at their surroundings. Texas is a giant parking lot wasteland. Beto was never going to win and anyone who thought so was delusional and very unhelpful. That race never should have been a focus; it only served to steal attention from our wins…

I agree with most of what you’re saying, but can’t help but think that the drinking age is 21 because it’s harmful to drink at too young an age and therefore the law helps young folks maintain a healthy sober lifestyle while their brain develops. They also avoid potential addiction. So, fair? Not fair exactly. But the…

Right. So in this situation it’s really helpful to conceptualize just exactly how laws are formed. It all starts with an idea rooted in helpfulness, or fairness if you want to think of it that way. That idea then gains traction and becomes law, but it will always have started as an answer to the question: How do we…

Why is the headline so negative when the story is so positive? This is good, damn good. We’re getting a recount which means we’re still in this thing. Gillum could still win, and Scott could still lose.

Each has moral underpinnings. 

Nowhere is the wrath of Trump felt more acutely than in the trans community.  Cis privilege makes it easy to forget that.  Let’s do better.  Let’s be better.

Water rights?  Water in gas?  What are you talking about?  I’m talking about laws.  The reason laws are written is to make things fair.  And fairness is the basis of morality.  People hate lawyers for the same reason they used to hate Lutheran priests and missionaries. 

Have to say this was a pleasant, if extremely long, read. Not a lot of people know about North Carolina. Not a lot of people care to know. We used to call it The Forgotten State, and I’d be lying if I said my memories of growing up in High Rock weren’t a little foggy after all these years. But that doesn’t mean I…

Law is codified morality, so we’re both correct. Though I’m slightly more accurate in my interpretation.

Why would she be on the photo for this story?  That doesn’t make sense.

Right.  As in, WMDs serve a pretty immoral purpose.  Therefore it is our moral duty to stop such behavior. 

Terri is the player in the photo.

That’s like saying the Civil War was about slavery. It wasn’t, it was about the economics of slavery.  And the same is true with the Iraq War.  It wasn’t about the WMDs.  It was about the morality thereof. 

I’m talking about the union boss, not the player in the headline photo. 

Sure it was. Bush said over and over that Saddam and his regime were committing crimes against humanity and we needed to liberate their people. Same reasoning was used against Gaddafi.

Example 8,890,235 of why men should not be tasked with protecting the rights of women.

There have been nearly 1200 mass shootings this year in the US and after every single one we get bombarded with this phrase.  No wonder atheism is the fastest growing religion.

Or Iraq.  Or Libya.  Honestly how do we get away with invading other countries under moral pretenses? 

Seems so.
