They are so fucking tasty. Make excellent waterproof hats and mitts too,. 

I somehow doubt it. I think they figured out they were just wrong 

I mean, I get why it’s bad, but I can’t be unhappy about it.

This is great news. His firing was ridiculous. I’ll be glad to see him finish this offf.

up to 49 dead. Disgusting.

Im not sure I care about this, but its still disgusting. I mean was ANYONE shocked when we found out being rich is the key that opens almost any door? Im pretty sure rich people have been doing this for decades, with donations, back channels like this. Its only shocking to the public because celebs are caught up in it.

Fair enough, I was just going by other examples I had seen. I have no idea about average sentences for these crimes.

"According to WPIX, Rebecca Antinozzi, a white fifth-grade social studies teacher at Chapel School in Bronxville, N.Y., reportedly organized a mock slave auction where the teacher took the black students into the hall, put “imaginary chains” on their necks and wrists and shackled their ankles before parading them in front of their white classmates who posed as wealthy slave owners playing the original version of The Price Is Right’s showcase showdown."

 

 

 

Jesus christ, i'm about goddamn ready to move back home to the farm and give up on humanity altogether.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in that suffering.

Nietzsche was an idiot. While it might have been true in the 19th century, it certainly isnt today. I don't know many people middle class and up who have done much suffering. 

Now, if you said poverty is to suffer....

I deal with too much. My compassion reserves are pretty limited these days.

 

We have this asshole who comes in about once a month because they swallow razor blades. They have borderline personality disorder, but they know what they're doing. They game the system. Instead of just confining this idiot to a mental institution, they get out back out on the street every time to do the same thing over. And each time they come in, we have to sacrifice a patient care tech to sit with them 24/7, when we're desperate for help on the floor. 

 

It's a damn game to this person and they know it. It keeps them out of jail for other petty crimes, because the police don't want to deal with them. 

 

 

Do this every day and it'll wear on you. 

I also work in a hospital, in a state mental health institution. I deal with a patient who does exactly the same thing. Usually upon creating some other kind of legal problem for himself.  They are brought in regularly for evaluation by police. It's the same song and dance every time. 

I still cant figure out how someone swallows damn razor blades. But generally, they are just gaming the system. 

Im an armed guard in a forensics unit, so I don't deal with the constant bullshit nurses and doctors do, but the fuel tank for my care is running on fumes. 

Then I see the people who need real care not getting what they need because resources are wasted on these idiots.

The dog will be key to Beto debating Trump.  Beto will bring the dog to the debate, and Trump will either fail to show up (because he hates dogs) or be so distracted he'll make a fool of himself!

He only likes dogs that weren’t captured.

Robson definitely seems sketchy... but the FBI investigated Jackson period and found no evidence of molestation.  I go back and forth to be honest. One thing is for sure, that "documentary" is very one sided (by design) and should be viewed at least somewhat skeptically since the director couldn't be bothered to scrutinize his own charges.

Yeah, the doc is problematic. I just think theres been too much smoke around jackson. I believe he's a molester, but I certainly don't know.

It doesn't necessarily dismantle them but it does cast doubt them somewhat. This was particularly interesting to me

 

 

I didn't know this.

I think it casts doubt on Robson, not Safechuck.

Why if he engaged in actual prostitution? I don't give a shit to be honest.

Because voluntary sex for money shouldn't be a crime. Like abortion, the government should have no say in what a person does witht heir body. 

Also, the police put the story out there that he was involved in sex trafficking. Seems all they were trying to do was hurt Kraft's reputation.

And I don't, if they aren't actively trying to hurt others because of their beliefs.

But you do have a problem with a private forum/service banning people for not being okay with it.

nope. If those are the rules here, thats different. This site will never affect public discourse on politics.

How does it dismantle anything? Victims, especially males, deny abuse for decades, often praising their predators, out of pure embarrassment. Not wanting anyone know they "let it" happen to them. Not wanting to publicly admit it, or even not wanting to think about it.

Doesn't seem like it.

Guys. Don't be like that.

Why? Its valid to feel someone born a man isn't a woman? 

I don't have a problem calling her "her", but I don't have a problem withsomeone not being ok with it too.

I'm also going to add that what is moderate or extreme is either a media creation or the media going along with what cones out of a Republican's mouth. If you believe that the entire spectrum is tilted right in America, then you don't believe that the center is a true center.

There is no center. Thats why I said we need a third party, one not based on ideology, one that uses science, research, and evidence to find out whats best for the country. The problem is that you guys expect those of us who don't agree with either to still choose a side. Hell, liberals are still blaming Libertarians for the loss of horrible candidates like Gore and Clinton, instead of themselves for running bad candidates. You actively campaign against a third party because you are afraid that liberals can't win if there are more than two. You are terrified to even allow libertarians to debate with the dems and GOP (and the pushback comes from the left). The two party system is broken on both sides. 

And she's a traitor who tried to hurt America. Washington fought to create it. 

The only similarity is the word traitor.

So if Manning became President then it would no longer be traitorous? lol. Hold some consistent positions, man!

you are reaching so far. Washington was a traitor until he was no longer a british subject. 

Manning is still a US citizen, and therefore still a traitor, by law. A convicted traitor. 

Nobody is worse than Trump. But Trudeau is currentl;y lying to his whole country about SNC Lavalin, so lets not pretend he's not a dirtbag. 

Healthcare for all, I agree with. The rest is fine if you really believe in socialism. I don't, and it always fails. How long before your Canada Pension and Medicare cant support itself anymore?

Mine is correct. Your idea of free speech does not exist in America. You literally are for putting a megaphone in front of and enhancing the views of white supremacists, which goes well beyond the simple freedom to be racist. You have very little understanding of the fact that there's no freedom of tweeting.

 

You also have contradictory views. If you don't believe in racism, believing in a system that's helped screw them and poor people in general contradicts itself. People like to point to civil rights leaders and only believe up to "be nice to black people" without realizing civil rights leaders called for legislation that the DSA would live.

You keep ignoring the fact that I've told you multiple times that I KNOW THERE IS NO EXPECTATION OF FREE SPEECH ON TWITTER. You are either trolling, or refusing to read what I wrote. I think it should be regulated BECAUSE ITS SO IMPORTANT TO OUR DEMOCRACY.
