Oh shit, people still read the Washington Post? I haven't heard their aggressive radio advertisements for a while and thought for sure that they had finally given up. Too bad.

I really hate the people who say, "we can't raise minimum wage to $20, I make that right now and I payed to go to school." Even if you weren't going to also get a raise because of that, there are ancillary benefits to having an education. Working fast food is tough. You have to be on your feet all day, dealing with…

Shit man, why are we worrying so much about how to fix the US then? I'm moving to Denmark.

At the same time, you really can't ignore the influence that religion has. For instance, you talk about education and poverty as being a big factor. What about Iran? They have a very educated population, and until we overthrew it, an effective secular, socialist government. It was replaced by a theocracy, and in…

You can get jail time in Morocco for being gay. How is that freedom exactly?

That's the symmetric property :-P

Check out this then and prepare to be shocked http://www.reddit.com/r/redpillwomen

That's not really the same at all. He's not trying to exert any control over other people, only his own right to not be touched by women, according to his religion. The female guards are not losing their jobs. And it's not like they have a constitutional right to touch him that is being infringed on. Would you be…

Her dog should not have been put to sleep, but I am kind of disgusted by the reaction people are having to this. They obviously care a lot more about this dog than they do the thousands of Africans that have died. No petitions or protests to help them. That is fucked up. Why are we even reading about a dog at this…

Just like every report before this sentencing predicted he wouldn't get any jail time at all. I think I'll wait and see.

What are you talking about? She's starring in a film with Elijah Wood. That's pretty legitimate.

That's not really a privilege because white people are horrible. Being in a large group of only white people is the worst. Someone's always like, "hey we can be racist now that they're not here, right?" See also: being in a group of only men where they think it's cool to be misogynistic. Do not want that privilege.

That does only count food at home though, and from the USDA data we spend at least as much, if not more, eating out. I don't know how that compares to other countries.

If all you have is local, ethically sourced meat, then meat will be a thing that only rich people can afford. It might not impact you very much, and you might be able to "get used to the idea of spending a larger portion of your income on food," but it will seriously impact a lot of people hovering around the poverty…

The only thing I can think is that he didn't want to be kicked out of the country or maybe he was afraid of being quarantined? It's tough to know what you would do in such a situation, I'm sure he was scared.

How do you infer that? In contrast with them, this guy was in a position to receive treatment and actively impeded his diagnosis by giving false information to the hospital.

I never said that he was responsible for the nurses getting sick. Your right, that is the fault of the hospital. But the fact that he himself died, yeah maybe he is a little responsible for that.

Considering the dude had contact with 80-100 people while he was infectious and only two of them got sick. Could be a lot worse.

Or maybe if he hadn't lied to them about being in direct contact with someone while they died of Ebola. That might have helped diagnose it.
