Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I just listened to an episode of the Slate Culture Gabfest, and two of the hosts were saying that the United Airlines incident wouldn't have happened if Trump wasn't president. lmao. I mean, yeah, Trump is a crazy moron, but some liberals are just losing touch with reality.

Any criticism of society that factors in race or culture relations will have you branded as a nazi in 2017.

It's also always bad to be on the side of censorship and policing of thoughts/speech/tone.

i have been called a racist multiple times for being a native who only dates white chicks. i was also called a racist for telling some hipster to step off my bro when he was accused of having yellow fever

currently, racist == nazi, so "dating outside of your own race" and "defending white people dating outside of theirs" is now nazism

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
To be fair to the obviously-trolling guy that is definitely a standard conservative thing, especially online

Like if someone even remotely considered liberal says 'literal white supremacists are bad' then that means white supremacists are just misunderstood victims of PC culture, not actually racists, because liberals are wrong 100% of the time

Remember that one time Michelle Obama said drinking water was healthy and a million conservatives rushed forward to say she was wrong because its heresy to agree with a liberal on even basis facts :laffo:

"..The high ground"
I don''t think there's anything wrong with protesting when the local college republicans invite some crazy dude to go speak. That's pretty much free speech there, too.

I think a good tack against this is when they whine about protests or bad articles written about them, to say that they're calling for censorship of opposing media/viewpoints. Honestly the way that word gets thrown around is just as bad as the 'everyone i disagree with is a nazi' thing. That being said, when you go and ask school admin for things, that's dumb but I think reflective of the atrophy of effective activism in this country.

Also, you have to understand your opponents, too. Milo is just a troll. He doesn't have real opinions(except being a pedophile, lol), so it may not even really be worth arguing against him. It might be better to have approached him with a strategy of making his events as boring as possible by not protesting, but, at the moment there's no real discipline among the groups working for the left so there's no grand strategy to be executed. That's why right now it's just a bunch of people trying to be the next richard spencer puncher.

Once trump was president and put the Muslim ban EO, airport staff were breaking laws by preventing green card holders entry.

People who work at an airport seem to think it's like working at a hospital or something anf they're extremely self-important when in fact most people either ignore or loathe them.

Most people in hospitals already overestimate their worth too so you can imagine the amount of ego flying around here

Its almost as if the extremist idiots cheering their sides on like a sport team aren't reasonable? They tar everyone who disagrees with them with the worst labels they can find examples of to justify their actions while ignoring the valid arguments being laid out by the non-zealots.

Personally I think that the dick heads on both sides should be allowed to fight to the death out in a big desert arena to prove who's the toughest. Sell tickets and pay per view for the event and use it to finance the wall.

That goes for a lot of places, but I guess the importance of hospitals/airports just makes it a bit worse.

That would be harmful to the desert habitat though. Just send them all to space where they can eventually fall victim to aliens and dracula.
