Re: Talking of Pride Parades... - 'DC Pride Parade marchers injured after panic caused by noises mistaken for gunshots.'

This reminds me of a story I heard about a pair of cops who would take it upon themselves to drive past a 7-11 and run their sirens for a moment just to watch all the day laborers scamper off into the woods while they laughed their asses off in their patrol car. Some people are just cruel for its ow...

Re: The Straight Pride Parade

How is the system actively working against LGBTQ? Because transsexuals can't join the military? because men who sleep with men can't donate blood? Because Indiana Jones is straight? And let me list the things society has given me for being straight: OK, done. You understand how systemic bigotry wor...

They get it.
Yeah Yeah I know they're arguing in bad faith but I had to try ya know?

I'm no stranger to being trolled especially on here but I dunno. I feel like I gotta try at least once. Call it trying desperately to see the good in people.

'There's no "Straight Pride", for the same reason we don't have soup kitchens for the rich'. --- Unknown Ha I'm keeping that one. We don't have soup kitchens for the rich because they can afford soup - OK, that makes sense. But how does that correlate with the reason why we don't have straight prid...

Re: Democratic Primary News Thread

For as much as Biden's being put on the chopping block, I would think Harris got the same speculative treatment if it's as severe as you say. Its because nobody really thinks she has a shot with the race as it is. If Biden explodes and she becomes the establishment front-runner then she might get t...

Re: Democratic Primary News Thread

Harris is really big into civil rights, so I wonder how her platforming will go surrounding that as a big focus. Harris's civil rights cred is all hot air she's a cop look at her record as AG it's about as racist as you would expect. There was not a young black man she did not want to see behind ba...

Re: Democratic Primary News Thread

Big problem with polls these days is getting people under the age of 50 in them in most cases even when they do the pollsters don't want to hear from them so I'd not be putting any stock whatsoever in polling today. My interest is in policy anyway and a depressing number of candidates have no platfo...

Re: Redacted Mueller Report Out

They found some dirt. Not on Trump, and not the dirt they were looking for, but maybe it is good to take a hard look at officials and get some hauled off to the hoosegow once in a while. I'm not debating that just this has been the ONLY conversation in the media for months and I was sick of it mont...

Re: South Korea to legalize abortion for the first time in 66 years

If you want more childbirths, provide a better social safety net and worker protections so people can raise their damn kids instead of going "Welp, the best we can do is a dog." Good luck - Asian nations have a fetish for work that rival's only the US. Its going to be an absolute MESS when new tech...
