Was she supposed to meekly smile and submit to having her civil rights taken away without due process or cause? Also, she knows more about Ebola than Christie, Cuomo, and LePage put together, and knows she was not (and still is not) a risk of contagion.

By "pain in the ass" did you mean medically informed and not only aware of her rights but willing to advocate for herself? Because yeah, geez, whattabitch.

This is...an interesting line of argument for an avowedly feminist website. Should she have stayed quiet, eyes downcast, while the state violated her civil liberties and human rights in an anti-science shitshow?

Shes a pain in the ass for using common sense and standing up for her rights and basic reasonableness? And science?

Honestly, I'd be a little cranky too if I spent time abroad treating a fatal disease, surrounded by suffering and death, only to be subjected to unnecessary confinement immediately after deplaning at home.

The prefrontal cortex?

The fact that a human has the mental capacity to actually desire survival. Science isn't even sure if animals like spiders feel pain, let alone a desire to continue existing. Not to mention that fact that because we are intelligent, social creatures, when you kill one human, other humans also feel pain. Spiders don't…

That, or all 23 prisoners attack the warden while he's monologing.

A point that he makes in his article is that a scientist picking up a single specimen is no different from natural predation, so it really has no effect on the species as a whole, in fact if it did then the species would have no chance of survival in nature. Scientific study is the best way to preserve a species, if a…

Laid-back? They're accusing him of the worst thing you can do in Florida.

"I'm your new [insert N-word here]!"

So, my mother was relentlessly hit-on/lightweight stalked by Rick James in the 70's. For example, when they first met he introduced himself by going "Get over here big-leg girl! My name is Ricky and I'm your new [insert N-word here]!" When it first came out, I wasn't allowed to watch Chappelle's because I was too…

My stepdad, for one, is super excited to hear about a Mexican losing his job to a middle-aged white guy.

Of course they didn't quarantine the Blues. If St Louis-area authorities are going to try to quarantine anybody, it's going to be the blacks.

"The Buccaneers name is offensive to anyone hurt by the rising price of corn on the cob."

The Seahawks name just mocks blind NFL fans who will never see a hawk in their lives!

"Jets? The 9/11 hijackers used jets as weapons. If you are a Jets fan, you support terrorism."

"Broncos? OJ drove a White Bronco. If you are a Broncos fan, you support wife killers." - Jay Schoeder

This is not how infallibility is used and this was not an infallible statement. Infallibiliy is used for faith and morals on theological issues only. What the Pope stated is not new, it was first stated in 1951 was Blessed Pope Pius XII. The big bang theory came from a Roman Catholic Priest. http://en.wikipedia.org…

Hah, you say that. The first year we moved here, I bought my mother a witch ball for Christmas (pretty little glass tchotchke that you hang in the window). She was terrified to hang it up in case it made her a witch. But then my mom is pretty superstitious. She grew up thinking you'd go to hell if you inhaled while…
