After reading her wikipedia page, I retract my comment, as frankly it was extremely sexist of me.

Still, it looks like one of those "opposites attract" things. To me at least.

I don't believe it's sexist to state that women are attracted to money. Money is sexy to anyone, and it's our sexist culture that dictates men should be the ones earning and flaunting the money. Suggesting a young woman might be attracted to and get involved with an older man because he is a rich and famous TV star is neither a disparaging comment about her morals nor about the nature of "women, amirite."

At the very least it couldn't have been his personality so this is really the only explanation that checks out for why anyone would hang out with Bill Maher short of blackmail or bribery.

When they start apportioning electoral votes by district results rather than state results. Take Pennsylvania for instance. It's basically one decent city, one "actually West Virginia but close enough" city, and a bunch of inbred fucks who talk like boomhauer and say yinz in between the cities. Population-wise the majority of voters in the state are going to be in those cities, and a huge majority of those city-dwellers are not down with the GOP. Moreso in the decent city than the 'burgh, but the stats legislature can draw electoral districts so that they concentrate as much of the civilized vote into as few districts as possible, while slathering the mumbling chickenfucker hill people vote as thinly as possible across all districts while still maintaining majorities.

Now, come every 4 years, you have the people in the cities always outvoting the loving filth in the woods. If they stop counting votes and just start counting familial-amplified birth defects per acre as a metric for awarding each district's electoral vote, then you've got like 14 wasteland districts with 50.1% dogshit and 5 with decent people running up the score 80-20, and you award 14 EVs to Ricky Boucher or whoever these dumb shits warble for, and 5 to Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders or whoever.

As of tonight Pennsylvania is not in danger of pulling this, seeing as their SCOTUS got a good infusion of competency.

How can you complain about rural Pennsylvanians like this when there are actual savages in Chicago who literally shoot each other to death every weekend, and their votes are still "worth" the same. At least people in Pennsyltucky don't continually vote for people who will funnel your tax dollars into these cesspools of slovenly wastes of flesh (like cesspool dwellers in Chicago for instance).

Fauxton's post was pretty bad, but there is no reason to go all stormfront here.

So suddenly since you assume I'm talking about a nonwhite racial group, you're ready to make the jump from "pretty bad" to "neo-nazi"? I've gotta admit, that smarts a little bit.

My point is valid. If there are uncivilized, inbred fucks with stupid dialects everywhere, why be so angry with the ones who don't want your tax dollars?

Ah yes, the "Chicago" angle, talking point straight from Breitbart. Have you ever heard of a phrase called "per capita murder rate", dipshit? Look it up. Then get back to us as to why you think Chicago is the example you think is most resonant.

I'm pretty sure I got it. The only people who talk about "Chicago" and crime are on the white-rights fringes getting fed a BS trend story that was cooked up to hold against Barry Soetero for the 2012 election, but just never died. Especially when it's brought up as a direct counter-example to a rant again rural whites.

Unless you are, in fact, Spike Lee. But I doubt it.

Kind of funny how rants against rural whites (poors) use remarkably similar language to the far right fringe uses against minorities (poors). But phew I'm glad to know you're willing to take a stand against racism!

Here's what I don't understand about "voting against your interests." How come you want poor people to vote for candidates who will help them economically, but then you get mad when people vote against the expansion of civil rights to include groups that make people uncomfortable? Isn't it in my own interest to be comfortable? So shouldn't I vote that way?

Clearly if everyone voted for their economic interest, the "99%" (as nebulous as that term is) would make big gains. But some people value their social interest in preserving their way of life over their economic interest in material goods. Why is this a bad thing?

By the way, I'm not a poor and I don't value social interests over economic interests. But if I were to vote for my economic interest, I get called a "selfish" "rear end in a top hat!" What!!

Anyhoo, that's my take. Cheers!

Because groups you irrationally hate receiving the same rights you already enjoy does not effect you in any real way.

Whoa there, that's a pretty strong assumption you're making. Are you telling me that, in a hypothetical situation where I was irrationally afraid of a certain group, seeing a member of said group looking threatening, that doesn't effect me? Or is that just not real?

And who said this feeling is irrational? I think it's very rational to be wary around say criminals, for example. Like sex offenders or felons. Sure, I bet some of them are "reformed", but rates of recidivism are awfully high.

Besides, it's a highly individual thing. What's so wrong about voting against something that makes you uncomfortable (whatever that thing may be)?

These type of people have no business "teaching" the youth of our State - unless you really want to live in a state of anarchy and no rights of responsibility, no consequence for actions taken, and where if you dare speak out for truth, traditional values, personal integrity, or other non-socialistic ideas and values, you are cast out or aside. FIRE THIS WOMAN- NOW!!!! Here's an idea - how about a Money Strike - ala Mr. Butler style - we starve the University for money. No money to this place until they get rid fo the idiots they employ like Ms. Click and Mr. Pinkel and anyone else who wants to run Arkham in Columbia!.

Because people agree that the students have a legitimate grievance against the administration and that their demands are reasonable.

Generally debate and discussion focuses on where there might be a disagreement.

It's pretty remarkable that D&D has a consensus on this, because most Missourians I've talked to firmly believe the demands are unreasonable.

Edit: To phrase this in a way D&D will understand, I'm making a comment about the overton window.

"Black people can't be racist" is the biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard and that is essentially what you're saying.

Black people live in a society fundamentally ingrained with the idea that they are an inferior and violent race. Everything in society, conscious or not, operates on the idea that black is worth less than white. This has an appreciable effect even in black communities, as studies have shown. Across all races, people are more likely to perceive a black person as threatening than a white person, in any context. This sort of bias manifests both economically and socially.

When you say that "Black people can be racist, too" you are making a factually correct statement. Black people can be and are racist, especially toward other black people and themselves. There is a serious problem of self hatred within Negro communities, which needs to be fixed before they can pull themselves out of the hole they are in.

But to imply that a black person who voices a resentment towards a white society and the complacent individuals thereof, is at all comparable to a white person who voices his racist sentiments towards black people, a person who is not only complacent in a racist system but is actively working to perpetuate it, is a false equivocation of an extreme magnitude.
