They're on the same level insofar as it's been deemed serious enough by someone to put on this list. Just funny to see it on a list filled with ethnic slurs and a couple disability slurs, looks very out of place to see an extremel

It seems common sense to prefer providers who are reasonably agnostic to who they provide services to. I would not use a water company that refuses to provide water to political enemies, because what if one day you become distasteful to the

Personally I rather die than kill a child, and SUVs are far worse in that regard. Despite making up 15% of accidents in this[1] study, they represent 25% of fatal accidents. A child is 8 times more likely to die if struck by an SUV accordin
