Wasn't it LL101 that had the stupid image macro about how Margaret Sanger was the woman they wanted to put on the 20? I have no idea if anyone actually said that Sanger should be on the 20 or if it was just another LL101 "Liberals think Jackson is bad for genocide on the Indians but Sanger wants genocide too and they think she's awesome!"

Holy poo poo, lets get back to political forwards already. I realized I hadn't trawled through the crazy libertarian/MRA/White Oppression guy's page on my facebook recently when he usually provides such great content. I quickly remembered why...

The sheer variety of things conservative white people on the internet can get mad about is always impressive to me. The only unifying thread I can see to any of it is mean spiritedness, which is pretty much true of LL101 as well.

This thread's big derails are always great. I know the people involved must get tired of it, but that feminism discussion, for example, helped me to parse my pre existing opinions in more concrete terms. So this is just to say thanks for putting up with each other's potentially bad opinions. I know myself better for having followed these arguments for the last few years. I wish it didn't take an Internet forum to illuminate my blind spots for me, but I'm just glad it comes in any form.

I would really like an American conservative tourist stories thread. There's got to be enough of these out there to support one. If it were a general xenophobic/neophobic tourist thread there definitely would be.

The difference for me is that every viewpoint here is usually thought out and seeking understanding of other views. Very rarely do I experience a discussion IRL where both parties aren't different shades of ghastly insulting each other. Here it's more like several misguided angels on your shoulder. Out there, it's devils screaming at each other right in your loving ear.

Then you subtly convince yourself that they are far more common than they are, and become sullen and pessimistic.

I don't have a specific FB post for content, but I've mentioned in the past my otherwise-liberal, pro-Israel, Islamophobic friend who is convinced you can't be Islamophobic unless you are literally murdering Muslims. His new thing is to post an article about some atrocity committed by a militant group, and then comment with, "But that's just their CULTURE. It would be RACIST to discuss it!!" It's irritating as hell how good he's gotten at knocking down strawmen of his own design. I've asked him who he thinks he's arguing with before, and got the reply, "Oh, you'd be surprised how many SJWs are out there." I'm pretty sure he got called a racist one time on the Internet for making fun of a lady in a hijab or something super edgy and cool like that.

You're not going to convince her because she's already convinced of her superiority to the Others. She worked hard for her welfare which doesn't make it welfare but those that didn't work like her are life sucking mooches that deserve scorn and possibly death.

Derailing the derail: I was reading The Inlander (Alternative weekly based out of Spokane) and saw this article talking about the decrease in students going to college from Idaho and the Pacific Northwest but the article was mostly talking about Idaho in general. The thing that annoyed me the most was that people (read: conservatives) have been so successful in demonizing the idea of liberal arts and colleges - that they will teach their kids non-conservative ideas - that some organizations have started referring to education after high school as 'postsecondary education' to get students and their right leaning parents to promote education and sign off for grants/financial aid/etc.

I got into a discussion with a person who is an teacher union chairman about Common Core. She opposes it and I support many aspects of it. She said about Common Core that "these standards are not internationally benchmarked, direct instruction time is being lost. I testified in the PARCC hearing and have heard Dr. Sandra Stotsky who refused to sign off on the standards. She was on the original validation committee. She found them to be developmentally inappropriate, and I agree." I asked her why she thought they were not internationally benchmarked and why direct instruction time was being lost. I got this as a response to my comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjxBClx01jc Home School

Checked on my cousin's feed for some gold. Between MJ legalization and motorcycle memes fun stuff like the following gets posted: GUNS!  An oldie but a goodie (Soldiers vs Min Wage) It was surprising to see sane replies in the original image post.  And naturally, be childish and put a pants-making GBS threads, draft-dodging, pedophile, on a pedestal because GUNS!  I'm furious, are you guys furious?
