I get so loving sick of these people hypocritical anger over abortion. They dont give two flying fucks what happends to "the precious babes" when they come out of the womb. they dont give a gently caress about life once its out of the womb. and honestly whats does it matter if parts of a dead fetus are used for medical research, it wasnt wanted so maybe it will be of use to future generations.

Erick basically prides himself on being a sociopathic monster that doesn't care how people feel or if they live or die so I'm somewhat dubious on his sudden uncharacteristic outrage on "children" being dismembered.

Prior restraint is a pretty justifiable thing to object to, I think that will backfire and I'm not convinced it shouldn't.

Yeah-I haven't seen the text of the order anywhere yet and I don't trust press reports on legal issues, especially "breaking" small time stories, but if this is as broad as what's currently suggested, the order probably ought to be lifted.

In reality it won't matter, the documents and footage will find their way out to friendly reporters/news sources who will broadcast them widely and the worst case scenario for those involved with this sham is living off wingnut welfare like Hannah Giles from the ACORN fiasco and maybe eventually being forced to declare bankruptcy.

Has anyone heard anything about an investigation into Tensing's partner and making false statements or whatever the formal charge would be?

http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/colleges/uc-news/sam-dubose-ray-tensing-uc-police-officer-said-motorist-was-dragging-him-so-he-shot-him

quote:

Another UC officer responding to the scene, Phillip Kidd, said he witnessed Dubose's 1998 Honda Accord dragging Tensing
After the shooting, he reportedly made a statement that backed up Trnsing's claim about being dragged, despite there being no evidence for it.

It's minor compared to the shooting itself, but if he did make a false statement to help cover up his partner's shooting, I'd like to see him get charged as well.

Some ex-USSS agent wrote a book saying that Bill and Hillary's marriage is a sham and that she's rude and blah-blah-blah, but it also contained at least one completely believable nugget.

The book adds that Biden “swims nude at the vice president’s residence in Washington and at his home in Delaware, offending female agents.”

What’s going on there is that a specific economic incentive was introduced that benefited the white rhino population. Yes, this resulted in some being killed and turned into the world’s most morbid umbrella stands or whatever, but by and large, the white rhino population was able recover from the brink of extinction specifically thanks to trophy hunting.

Your social media outrage didn’t save the white rhino in South Africa, assholes like Walt Palmer did.

Palmer illegally killed a valuable and famous research animal by luring it off a reservation, and attempted to destroy its GPS tracker to cover his trail. Even if the statements that trophy hunting contribute to conservation are true, that does literally nothing to cast the killing of Cecil in a positive light. This article is pointless at best and outright supportive of his hunt at worst. I'm going to go for the latter interpretation, since the author literally tries to defend his the $55,000 he paid to illegally kill a lion on a reservation as boosting the country's economy.

Cecil in particular was a pretty big tourist draw for the preserve, making that bullshit "we must destroy the village lion in order to save it" line of argument particularly bankrupt in this case.

Why can't the GOP see that you just need to give Trump enough rope to hang himself. All these efforts to shut him down only increase his popularity among "independents" and frustrated Republicans.

I have probably learned more in the last 12 years of teaching social studies and independent learning than I ever did in high school or college. (Maybe that was because I was a teenager with a focus not on 'book learning')

This year, I am integrating A People's History of the United States and Voices of the People's History of the United States fully into my courses. I want my students to think critically about their history and future. (I work with poor at-risk students with many of them never being near an AP course or even thinking about college.)

This is a good idea, as long as they're treated as skeptically as any other popular history. Zinn has his own agenda that he is pushing, and it's tempting to let second opinion bias trickle in. Putting People's History alongside more traditional histories is useful for exposing their biases, though. Or de-Texasing them, as the case may be.

I think you're getting severely confused between "campus security" which are just the same as any other security guard, and the actual full on police forces which large public and some private universities will have.

Smaller public and most private universities will instead have typical security guards and then the local/county police patrolling when necessary.

Nah no confusion. Actual campus cops are basically the guys who couldn't get hired by the sheriff's office or were fired from every other police job.

If this were titled something like 'a free market approach' I would have no problem with it, let him jerk off over delusional fantasies. If we were to commodify every lion in Africa with his awful numbers it would fall under $1.2 billion total. Much less than that when you consider most lions are killed in ways that don't even try to pretend to support conservation. The tourism industry in all of one country is worth over $5 billion. Total bullshit masquerading as 'the more you know'
