What about "logic at a distance" combined with empathy would make reasoning through the legal details of an incident you've only learned about through rabble-rousing reportage a worthwhile exercise?

I can't disagree with anything you said but I don't see a single word that makes United culpable for law enforcement overstepping the needs of the situation. Given how the outrage cycle regularly crucifies and then moves on comple

I doubt you'll get your wish, because we don't run our legal system based on the outrage o' the moment for very good reason.

The heated rhetoric around this outrage o' the moment is disguising the fact that United isn't culpable for the brutality the person underwent. I suspect that the imminent next outrage o' the moment will supplant this in peop

It has been long established that sarcasm and text communications go together about as well as peanut butter and urine.

Normally I wouldn't join a conversation this far gone, but I'm curious - are you defining words that you consider to be basically the same as "shut the fuck up" to be violence?

I've been alive and in the US for well over 10 years, and I pay a lot of attention to speech issues. What proof do you believe shows us to be on a path to disaster? I could agree that there are a lot of people who think their feelings

Ideally there are larger lessons learned here than "there are assholes on the internet" Like I would hope people now recognize that stoking a culture war to market a shitty movie is a bad idea.

Political discussions in any forum have rarely been productive, and no number of tools designed to build echo chambers will change that.

Whenever this comes up, I like to ask what people would expect could be revealed about Trump that would materially change anything. The Clinton campaign raked him over the coals to the point that deluded people now think wearing a vagina-sh

This seems closer to "Ex-Trump adviser Flynn's lawyer tries a pretty common (for his client's industry) maneuver to ensure his client won't get jail time no matter what happens" https://twitter.com/r

The omission of OSHA from the list of yet-to-be-undone accomplishments is interesting, as is the fact that the 8 hour workday is enshrined in law for categories of employment considered "working class." Both are fairly important,

I don't sense fear from that cartoon - it seems to me a humorously effective lampoon of the wide-left stances of infantilizing so-called marginalized people, and the strange denial of the fact that some adherents to Islam have openly c
