There are minimum age limits that prevent a younger person with no health or mental deficits from serving, why is a maximum age limit any different? A 28-year old can’t be a senator (but can be a house rep) but a 30-year old can. This would be no different.

Is it ageist if the goal is to have representatives who, you know, represent and understand the population?

Term limits on Congress would only work with significant campaign and lobbying reform. New Congresscritters are easily swayed by lobbyists especially when they are legislating on things that aren’t their particular wheelhouse. Term limits happening before lobbying reform will pretty much had the US over to who ever…

Too old. My vote is for 65.

Seriously, fuck all this. fuck the extremes. I don’t trust any of them. If anyone thinks this post supports an extreme, you are the opposite extreme and fuck you too.

How could someone possibly not know that Howard U is a predominantly black university? lol I’m a white guy in Canada, and even I know that... I’d be calling shenanigans on that as well. I’m not all about violence or anything, but I’d say they are lucky that their hat being stolen is the worst thing that happened to…

White woman born and raised in a mostly white town near Chicago. So, sheltered and ignorant. Aware of my ignorance, biases, and bigotries, though not as a teen.

Shut up, Carol.

This relationship has been growing for a while now! Have you read anything since this piece? You might like the op-ed I just put into the NY Daily News. Are you well?

You have demonstrated, beyond any doubt, that if there was a god and you were more preferable to him than I am, that you worship satan. Go read my defense of women with feelings, idiot.

You are still here? Attracted to me, aren’t you? It will never happen. I love my wife. And you don’t seem quite human anyway. I try to be humble about this, but you’re so fucking stupid. Anyway, you go rant somewhere. I write for a living. I’m sure you know my website well. Remember: NO. My wife is precious to me.

I did not violently hurt anyone. I am not a psychopath in the least, though someone like you who is obsessed with passing judgment on a person she never met sure seems unwell. Of course I can admit when I am wrong, but I can also recognize when a bill is paid. And you are a sad person who must use such interactions to…

I have met all of ONE other person like you. He was a racist ex-prison guard who dreamed of exterminating.. turned out he was handicapped, expressing the frustration his impotence caused. I trust my taste in art with no hesitation but could never make the judgments you make of human morals because I am better educated…

I feel very ashamed of my crimes and wish I had the opportunity to apologize to everyone I scared. I also lost ten years of my life to atone for them. I usually don’t do this, but I have to say that, misscarolann, are simply an idiot. You have appointed yourself my judge? Miserable and cowardly.... would you say it to…

Let me be direct and quote a previous comment you posted
""This entire story is basically the exemplar of the problems I have with the culture into which I was born. This isn't about Conflict Kitchen's cuisine choice presenting a "one-sided discussion towards the Middle East." It's about the desperate need among…

what are you doing to better society? Judging people you don't know anything about? If you did your research you would know that he was driven to crime over a drug addiction, and robbed people with a small pocket k I've that probably couldn't have killed a bunny. He also apologized and gave back things he didn't need …

Oh, well... yes. Carry on, good sir.

Years of therapy.

Dood... you were sexually assaulted for months. How can you talk about it so casually?

I spent a number of months in a juvenile detention facility in the Midwest when I was 15. My first night at dinner some of the oldest kids was walking up to all the new fish and rubbing their hands. It turned out I had very softest hands so it was suggested to me that I offer the leaders of this kid's gang handjobs in…
