>There’s no middle ground here. It’s a zero-sum game.

I mean, the thing is that this is an issue where there are legitimate disagreements about methodology and conclusions. It’s very hard to do sound social science on these topics. Reasonable people can reasonably disagree about the size and sources of the wage gap. But as soon as you accuse anyone who thinks the gap is…

I think the most ridiculous part of that story is that someone can be in the US 100% illegally and get Food stamps.

Oh, you’ll forget about that list in a week or so when the next trendy thing to be outraged by comes up.

> This is what I do! Anytime I hear a racist/sexist/homophobic “joke” I just look at them blankly and say, “I don’t get it.”

No-showing at your job has consequences. Just as you can opt to skip work, they can opt to not keep paying you.

Jez writers are often very young and do not know/understand/care about history/facts, etc. Remember, Jez isn’t news, it’s commentary — and they get a LOT of things wrong. Very wrong.

Well she was convicted on that charge in 2008. Clearly she was enough of a non-threat to be allowed to stay here 8+ more years after the fact.

Yes it must suck to be willfully breaking the law and have to worry about getting caught . . . willfully breaking the law.

The crime was perjury and obstruction of justice on the part of Bill Clinton for lying about the affair. Had he told the truth, they couldn’t have done anything to him.

I’m liberal as hell and am mad at this bullshit. Do the wrong things in life and get what you want, at the expense of our taxes, that’s the lesson here. I need my state to rewrite its prison policy so that unless it’s life threatening, prisoners don’t get any surgery. There are so many law abiding people looking for…

He joins the ranks of other dishonest, backroom dealing types, like most of those elected before him. The democrats came up with him as an antisemitic racist monster, but that was about scaring people to vote Hillary. But all this pretending he is Hitler is just drama. You have told each other so many ghost stories by…

It’s not up to you or me to decide what feelings are valid and what feelings aren’t. Everyone’s feelings are valid, and they should have the right to refuse catering to someone if they so wish.

There’s people on Instagram and Twitter photoshopping Nazi uniforms on them. That’s inexcusable.

I have a problem with the course’s name. If there was a class called the “The Problem of Blackness,” or “The Problem of Hispanics,” or “The Problem of Jewishness” this website would be up in arms. Being born a particular way isn’t a problem. Nor should it be treated as such.

“Prevent an all-out descent into fascism.”

Yeah, the framing in this article is so laughable and ignorant it left me speechless. “Ceausescu died today. He is credited with the creation of an impressive dam which generates electricity for millions. [he also maimed and killed and inprisoned people and destroyed any and all rights and kept his country at the edge…

I’ll settle for “he was terrible.” That’s an appropriate eulogy.

Does porn count?
