That's a goofy thing to say. There are millions of 4chan users, and at least hundreds of thousands of 8chan users and visitors. They don't "murder indiscriminately" any more than Twitter users do. And gee, wow, you post

I don't really understand the reasoning so many people here have behind shutting down 8chan. Twitter, Facebook, and many other mainstream websites are replete with mass murderers. The response presumably will be that those sites are

The Constitution as a whole is, but interpreting the 14th amendment is still a hot topic.

That's the crux of the whole problem. The government passed unpopular policies and tried to morally "correct" its people from the top down. It seems most people gradually caught on and normalized those changes, but it isn&#

So many unexamined assumptions here. I sort of understand the appeal of channers just calling folks like yourself a nasty name and checking out rather than spending every discussion parsing out "the patriarchy" and what true left

I see far more slippery slopes than slippery slope fallacies. It makes me want to reject these kinds of ideas from the get-go, because the pasts of our bureaucracies and representatives have given us really no good reason to believe every

This is something I think is justifiable in time-sensitive cases like tracking down a kidnapper, but I fear there's no way to grant such power and expect its use to always remain narrow. In my opinion, most issues in our country come

What statistics am I ignoring? I'm talking about the ones from the OP's post.

Statistical disparities aren't evidence of racism. And let's not pretend we haven't been talking about a supposed epidemic of white cops shooting innocent black people for no reason for years and years now.

So it sounds like the entire national narrative about racism and law enforcement we've been having for years now is built on sand.

Again, I don't believe there's any evidence Toxoplasmosis makes people irrationally interested in cuddling with cats. I had a blood test done at my doctor's office to investigate a swollen lymph node and they included the to

Probably has more to do with how humans are wired to react to their "cute" or baby-like appearances, e.g. large eyes and heads. I can also say I've always wanted to bury my head in cat tummies, and I recently tested negative
