I'm not trying to be rude this is a sincere question: Why would you support a racist candidate if you weren't also racist? Imagine someone upset at being called a socialist, when all they did was vote for the socialist candidate.

I've decided recently that I'm voting against ST3. It bums me out because I've always been a big transit supporter (I know how republicans voting for Hillary must feel). The thing is, ST3 builds a ton of crap to the outer sub

Amazon did help build the South Lake Union Streetcar and in my mind it's been a huge success: "The majority of property owners along the alignment supported the project, despite being asked to pay increased taxes to fund its const

He's pretty open about how he's into studying the art of "persuasion" and I think this is one of the dumb tricks. By pretending to be threatened by Clinton supporters it makes her and her supporters look bad, or at least

Continued population growth isn't sustainable either. The economic problems caused by low birth rate can be solved through immigration.

Attempts to blame "the left" on Trump are absurd. Republicans have been courting the racist vote for decades, it was only a matter of time before those elements took over the party.

It's an easier task for a smaller company to pull off, and I'll bet Netflix is getting a better deal than most of us could negotiate.

The fact that the Drake equation can have any value from “billions and billions” to zero is precisely the point. There is a "right" answer and we can get closer and closer to it if we choose what to study properly. We know a lot m

Plus an hour each day of cooking and cleaning up. The median american salary is about 50K, which is about $24 an hour, so lets say it costs $6/7 a day to eat crappy, and $25/30 to eat well.

I guess I didn't make this point explicit but what I was getting at is that it's absurd to filter out a group of Americans and deem them "culturally similar" to another country and then start drawing sweeping conclusions
