http://www.theroot.com/articles/news/2015/09/kamilah_brock_spends_8_days_in_psych_ward_after_cops_doubt_bmw_ownership.html This is just one example, I could find more but I get the feeling any response to this will be as "cool story bro" as the last one so I'm just gonna go with the one I can...

Nor do you have automatic suspicion cast on you when you walk into places of businesses or exist anywhere in eyesight of a police officer. That's the problem with alot of folks on this topic. They assume because they aren't swimming in a Scrooge McDuck-style safe that they can't possibly be...

A limited amount of politics is kind of expected in...politics. Anyone claiming Sanders plays no politics at all is ignorant. But he does stay away from the dirtier aspects, including the corporate sponsorship. Which is kind of the thing alot of us love him for. But no, feel free. Grab that...

I mean. We're pretty much the the most religious of the first world countries, at least when it comes to fundamentalism and it's power in society. It's like us, Russia, and countries ruled by warlords that still let the more fundamentalist sects of our dominant religion run the show in a...

Of course Republicans get the majority of the white vote. If your agenda involves maintaining a status quo with one group at the top in a lot of ways, of course most of that group will vote for you.

"Guys, that time we just assumed the Muslim kid is backfiring! We look stupid and he's getting recognition and support!" "Oh hey now that we actually look at this thing instead of just assuming it's a bomb because Ahmed had it it seems he probably didn't even invent it. Let's focus on that...

Guys, I'm going to be honest. If people opting for something besides "Merry Christmas" for the holidays bothers you, you're officially being whinier than even the biggest caricature of political correctness. I get you, it's scary losing one's iron grip on a society after so many centuries in...

The chaplain is an )-4 and most of the sailors affected are enlisted. They're not explicitly ordered to just sit there and take it, but basic respect of rank kinda forces them too. On top of that, the big issue is that chaplains offer quite a few non-religious services as well including general...

Christian chaplains have been dismissed for shaming Sailors and soldiers for their actions, instead of performing the counseling duties they were assigned. Mentioning Jesus is fine; shaming a student in training pipeline with a high suicide rate for their personal decisions is not. Funny story...

Of course they can morally convince themselves to vote conservative. The Republican party has very successfully sensationalized and then championed certain issues to make themselves the Christian party, regardless of how little like Christ all their policies outside these few...

I find Trump to be pretty scary. He's purposely whipping up a portion of the population who's views are mostly inspired by bitterness and fear. we're already seeing the consequences of somebody validating this demographic; armed protests at mosques that occurred this past weekend come to mind...

The entire purpose of the SCOTUS is to enforce the constitution even when popular vote or legislation would go against it. To prevent the "tyranny of the majority." Trying to claim the SCOTUS is acting to upend the will of the majority, regardless of that claims accuracy, is pointless because...

Of course they didn't. The whole "2+2=5" thing is just a tactic to try and make people feel silly for believing differently than the user's "common sense." Actually the whole metaphor is really funny if you look into it. In base 4 2+2=10. I don't think you can make it equal 5 at all. But it...

I don't know, last time I checked up on anything regarding Putin killings gays in the street was just barely not government sponsored in Russia. And the Orthodox church had sicked riot police on a Pastafarian rally. I'd say Putin demonizes himself plenty, and most of the support he gets from US...

But wait, weren't they just last weekend mounting a "take your Bible to school" protest because literally zero public schools let no children ever pray? :rolleyes:

For a given definition of righteous. Generally the one that's ok with public beatings and killings of folks one doesn't like.

Don't want your kids to learn that people who live differently than them aren't actually that bad? Well do we have the alternative for you! How long is this particular fad of bigotry going to take to become almost universally condemned?

I can't help but wonder what all the fundies and Tea Partiers will do when the Republican party adapts to survive this. It might be fun to watch what happens when people have ot vote on real politics and can't just check which party is pushing the Bible.

But it's not really changing his orientation. If he could make ti work with dudes, he's at least a bit bi-sexual. They wouldn't be changing his orientation, just helping with his fear of women. Heck, the orientation wouldn't even be discussed, aside from his aversion to women(which is more...

I'd like to place a nomination for scavenger hunt champions of 2013...
