Some of those are edited quotes, but can we agree that it's ridiculous to quote mine some idiots (yes, some of these are pretty legitimate comments) and attribute their opinions to a whole group of people? The idea that republicans don't care about rape might be the stupidest thing I have read on this forum.
Like I said I'm not talking about the sensible ones. I realize the party as a whole doesn't believe this but hivemind mentality is a thing.

I don't particularly care whether they're quotes from Republicans, Democrats, or members of the Compulsory Eating of Aspargus Party: anyone who makes a comment like that (and means it, more crucially) is scum. Simple.

Goofle 02-20-2017 05:27 AM
I meant to say "pro-choice" in the post earlier.

So because it's not the most insane comment you've heard then it's okay to say that.

Or do you also believe that rape victims should make the best of a bad situation?

Goofle 02-20-2017 08:03 AM
Argue against why I've said.

I mean, it's kinda tone deaf, but it's not like he's saying rape victims deserve to get raped or whatever. Maybe the rest of the speech would put that quote in worse context, but from just what I've heard it's more of a mildly eye rolling comment than anything.

Agreed. It's just as ill-informed as defining the left by hyperbolized perceptions of some college students.

Likely common knowledge to some, but this was novel and fascinating to me.

A feature about Zipf’s law, the Pareto Principle, the Principle of least effort, self-organized criticality, Hapax Legomenon, the learning/forgetting curve, and the least common word in the English language.

What a fantastic video when I can't sleep at 3am.

Chiomara 02-22-2017 02:13 AM
^ Agreed!

(As usual, everything innerspaceboy posts is fascinating and wonderful.)

I thought they were using his hose and he was telling them to get off his land cause he just thought they were high.

DIY Venue Non Plus Ultra Shut Down by City Inspector; Founders Release Statement | L.A. Weekly

I'm pissed. I must have seen at least 30 shows there in my last couple of years of college and met a lot of great people there. RIP (I'd be cool with a resurrection too). One of the best venues for punk in LA.

So the GOP unveiled it healthcare plan today.

Those who will be hurt most by it: Low income and the elderly

Those who will gain from it: High income and the insurance companies.

Who would have thunk it?

Wrong thread?

Frownland 03-07-2017 12:21 PM
We don't have a GOP thread, he good.

I still need to take the time to read the actual policy instead of news report summaries but I doubt their ability to craft sensible healthcare laws because I barely have faith in anyone to do that. ACA benefited insurance companies MASSIVELY btw so at least they're keeping that element of it intact.
