  1. He's Canadian. It makes him feel better about himself. He needs it, so we indulge him.
  2. That would be cultural appropriation, and you would have to pay greater reparations.
  3. I did not. After Pelosi and the House Republicans did their level best to destroy the world economy, I refused to vote for either party candidate.
  4. And your criticism shows just how effective the cover-up was. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!
  5. I wouldn't kick her out of bed for proving Riemann's theorem on removable singularities in holomorphic functions from first principles. Unless she was...y'know...wrong.
  6. I remember TO being mic'd for one game, and he was just having a blast. Not trash talking, just enjoying the game. He was sincerely praising guys who tackled him for making a good play. A lot of times, it seems like "troublemakers" get that reputation just because they never shut up. Not for what they do, but because they're too volubly enjoying themselves.
  7. Ray Rice Lawrence Taylor Darren Sharper Mark Chmura Cecil Collins There seems to be a surprising number of running backs on an "all troublemaker" team.
  8. I'll take a world-class twit over a violent white supremacist any day of the week.
  9. And at war with communism. Alexandra doesn't think things through very well.
  10. He's still better than The_Dude, and gator. I mean...it's a really low bar.
  11. Pretty sure the answer to that is "Yes, they're still needed, because reparations only correct past racism, but AA and quotas correct future racism." I'm going to demand that Black Panther be prefaced with "Wakanda is not a real place, you idiots."
  12. No you're not. No he's not. He's open to contrary information and discussion. You're just incapable of providing it, because you're a world-class twit.
  13. It'd probably take a US-backed regime change and near-complete disarmament of Syria. It would certainly require Syrian recognition of Israel's right to exist, which isn't happening while the PA and Hezbollah exist and Iran is under its current leadership.
  14. People used to say the same about the Sinai. And Gaza. And frankly, I'm still amazed they handed over that buffer zone. But it happens.
  15. Neither. Both sides have used it for offensive operations. The cease-fire in the Yom Kippur war was negotiated in a big damn hurry because the Israelis were about to take Damascus, attacking out of the Golan. The Beqaa Valley was invaded in 1982 in part from the Golan. And Israeli air strikes into Syria would be much more difficult without the Golan to operate behind. Not that I'm sympathetic to the Syrians - the Israelis have significant security concerns with respect to their overly aggressive neighbor that makes their occupation of the Golan a strategic requirement, much like their Sinai occupation was before the Egyptians came to their senses. And I don't support ending the Israeli occupation unless they get serious concessions from Syria. But this isn't occupation now, it's annexation, which creates a security concern of at least equal magnitude for Syria in its own right, that will outlast however long the Assad regime has left. That is destabilizing. He's probably right...but let's see the UN Armed Forces try to enforce this.
  16. My wife wanted to go see Captain Marvel last weekend. I told her she could, but I couldn't see it because as a man I would be exercising my patriarchal privilege by culturally appropriating a feminist's experience, which would not only make me misogynistic but, by intersectionality, racist and homophobic as well. The look I got from her was an indescribable mix of anger, pity, confusion, and disbelief.
  17. I agree with the concept of reparations in principle, but do not accept any sort of philosophy or claim of collective racial guilt. Therefore, I willingly and freely offer to pay reparations to all slaves I have owned.
  18. That should have a rather negative impact on regional stability. It's a militarily critical zone for both sides - either Syria has a fortified position overlooking Haifa, or Israel has one overlooking Damascus. Either side owning it scares the ***** out of the other. Would probably be better for everyone if it were an unoccupied DMZ.
  19. It's strongly discouraged that children bring their lunch to school in NYC. I believe in some schools it's actually forbidden. NYC provides free breakfast and lunch to all school students. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they couldn't afford meat every day.
  20. That ***** on the far right looks shady as hell...
  21. A right-wing conspiracy of left-wing talking points.
  22. She is dead. It's her clone on the bench. If you're going to criticize our conspiracy theories, at leas get them right.
  23. People so quickly forget the Beer Summit.
