I did not intend to justify, okay, or rationally explain her position at all. I'm sorry if it came across that way. My intent was to articulate how distorted modern American thinking is on issues. This woman is approaching the topic from a completely foreign POV to how we're used to discussing...

Even going off of the UK definitions PrimalxConvoy provided, this still wouldn't qualify as hate speech. The communication must be "threatening or abusive". Unless those words also have different meaning across the pond, that threshold is not met here. Some people got sent a meme post...

No, she said if everyone wants something, they should go ahead and have it. If they had gone a step further and asked "so if everyone in the nation wanted slavery, that should be okay too?", you don't think she'd triple-down? This woman has no concept of what slavery is. She's not a...

This is just the inevitable outcome of Gen Z's thought process. First off, slavery is not "special". Understand it is only illegal because the 13th amendment says it is. Just like alcohol was illegal because the 18th amendment said it was...right up until the 21st amendment reversed that law...

No. It's not. A hate crime is when a crime is committed against someone and a bias "of hate" is the clear motivator. Making someone see something that offends them is not a crime. Battery is a crime. Battery motivated by anti-semitism is a hate crime. Anti-semitism is not a crime, nor a hate...

@NovaSaber: "More electable than Trump" by an objective, rational standard, I mean. I admit I have no idea how to compensate for his bizarre allure. If the Republicans ran somebody other than Trump in 2028 (and any "endorsement" by him is neutral here), will they gain or lose voters? What's the...

Believe me, I understand that article's feelings. I unfollowed someone the day after the Election when they posted two images on their feed. The 1st was one of those "We'll still be friends after the election because I'm more mature than that" images, and the 2nd was a wiener dog dancing in a...

Yeah, what just happened with Deathy is a microcosm of why the Democrats lost and why they will continue to lose for the foreseeable future. * Caveat up front -- I voted Blue up and down the ballot because I fear for our democracy. * But I understand why they lost. All Deathy said was he voted...

"America's Plan B" Party?

Good! This is exactly what Democrats should be doing right now -- acknowledging the people who voted against them and asking for feedback. If they ever want the White House again, they need to listen to why they didn't get it this time and (perhaps even more important) be SHOWN listening to...

They just won the popular vote and received a mandate from the majority of voters. Why would Republicans be afraid of free elections?

"You think people make choices? No. People think they make choices. They think they're gonna steer right or steer left...but they didn't build the roads. The big choices already got made for them a long time ago." -- Brennan Lee Mulligan

Weird perspective question: on issue #67, does everyone see Galvatron as a giant straddling the burning world, or normal-size and flying up triumphantly into space?

First impression: There's no way this was written or decided since the shooting. Neither this judge nor any law clerk wrote a 93 page, heavily cited order in under 48 hours. So yeah, I lean in favor of the idea it was ready to go and she waited for a good time (in her mind) to drop it on the...

"Hilary only lost because of [One Thing]" is a mantra that Democrats really need to stop repeating. She lost for many reasons, piled one on top of each other, many of which were self-inflicted. She was arrogant, entitled, and unlikable. She expected to be Crowned President by the DNC and the...

Yeah...after a good decade of work on TFWiki, I gave up trying to contribute anymore because of people exactly like Viola is describing. Well, one person. Basically, I didn't join the Discord, and lost track of who was able and willing to override Saix.

November 6th click-bait headline: "Do Americans prefer weak facts or forceful lies? The answer may surprise you!"

Ooooh...Halonix Maximus, Hyperion, Big Bang Titan class 3-pack? Who needs money, amirite?

Congratulations, Halonix Maximus...you're my new Holy Grail.

Joy. Just...joy.
