Who gives a @#$%& what people who know nothing think? He's right about that. Isn't the statistical representation similar for evolution too? But, hey, teach the controversy!

Isn't the extra volume of support precisely why teams have a home stadium advantage? I certainly think so, so have to agree that this is cheating.

Re: Scotus marriage equality - what if…? - 7 years ago

Imagine yourselves looking back in 40 years and seeing that people were once backward and mean-spirited enough to deny gay people the same rights as any other person. Ditto blacks and women voting. Those against will be on the wrong side of history.

Wow. The writer (anonymous) seems to be talking about a specific person, and that person sounds like a psychopath. Or at least, the feelings the writer has for that person betray psychopathic tendencies. If you feel this way about anyone in your life, you are probably better off without them.

Re: Al Jazeera dirtbags attempt to downplay response to Paris attacks - 7 years ago

Freedom of speech requires real responsibility. I think in America you are not allowed to shout "Fire" in a crowded cinema, when you know there is no fire. Real free speech advocates would disagree of course, leaving it up to the individual to decide the veracity of any claim. However, when fire has been falsely claimed as happening, people have really died. The world is really not

Re: Is the gun rights/gun control debate over in the U.S. ? - 7 years ago

What good has come from gun ownership in the States? I mean, in a utilitarian sense. How much more good has been created by virtue of there being guns easily available to the average American than bad? Is the pleasure that some people take in killing wild animals and target shooting and collecting weaponry and thinking that they are safer because they own guns and keep them in the house, greate

Re: Eric Garner: A homicide committed by nobody - 7 years ago

Like you said, nothing new. Using an illegal move, a man who had just broken up a fight and may have been selling cigarettes (?!) was taken down by being choked, which directly lead to his death. No one is guilty. Them's the facts. Everything else is spin. For example, No.11 on your list. What the man who took the video did or didn't do weeks after taking the video, is utterly irrelevant

QuoteBill in NC The video shows a man who is resisting arrest being placed in a sleeper hold (using the biceps & forearm to cutoff blood supply), not being choked (cutting off oxygen by crushing the trachea).
