It just never gets old, no matter how many times I rewatch it.

I love leverage so much.

But the time to create real electoral reform isn’t in the few months before the election, because that’s too late. By the time the election rolls around you have a simple question - who (of these choices) do you want to be president? It’s nice if you feel that we can toss away the next four years of public policy to…

I’m not British, but I am Canadian and our government works roughly the same way.

It’s not like Johnson or Gove would be an improvement.

Well, yes. But I’d also put the blame directly on England (and Wales) for this one. Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay... and Scotland did so overwhelmingly.

Oddly enough I think Pine is faring much better in this group than he would in my ranking of the actual star trek cast. (Who we can assume would all have the uniforms.)

You are correct in all your opinions.

Well, then don’t carry a gun, quite frankly. That is a decision people can make. There aren’t really any good statistics to show that it makes you safer, and there are loads of stats that show it is more dangerous to you and those around you.

No, I get why the gun owner wouldn’t want to scare everyone, it’s not that I don’t see the other side, I just don’t think that’s enough justification to let someone carry a concealed weapon.

To be honest, I’d rather know if the people around me are carrying guns, regardless of whether or not me being wary made him uncomfortable.

I agree? We don’t as a society do enough to help men who are victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. There are loads of really terrible cultural reasons why this is true and these should be addressed.

I’m very familiar with the history of white feather girls, which I think you are somewhat simplifying.

Wow. That is really sad.

Fair enough on the abortions aspect. I do think that your view on it also has merits. I’m happy to agree to disagree.

You will note that I included economic and class privilege in my list. I will say that yours is a pretty strict marxist view of the issues, and I tend to subscribe to a more intersectional interpretation. My argument would be that there are a whole host of different factors to consider for every individual and every…

Yes, I will admit that I was playing fast and loose with the correct terminology in my comment by using disadvantaged. It is true that men specifically face the challenges you listed, and I think it is important that they be dealt with in a way that is specific to the needs of men (although I would argue that the…

Listen, people who are cis white men can be disadvantaged, e.g. economically disadvantaged, disadvantaged by class, discrimination against people who are not able-bodied or who are not mentally well, discriminated against if their are LGBTQ etc., however they are not disadvantaged on the basis of either their race or…

“I’m not racist, I just don’t think there is any way a woman or poc could possibly be as good or better than a white man. Ergo- they must have cheated.”

Exactly this. What is wrong with you if you think treating people with basic human dignity is somehow taking something away from you?
