Which is more ridiculous: that AMC actually called the FBI, or that the FBI actually respond in this way? What the fuck is wrong with this country?

The right thing to do would be to test the idea before shoving it down voters' throats. It would not only be morally correct, it would provide great ammunition for fighting against those who would be against it. But that's not g

Is it a shocker that I misread that table? Obviously, you meant that facetiously, suggesting that you believe that someone who espouses views contrary to popular liberal ideology is necessarily a stupid person. But the fact that I made

I'm a fan of Snowden, but I agree. He needs to be more selective in what he releases.

>He stated "doing jobs white people don't like doing." How do you interpret this? This is, by definition, stating that by being white alone, the population carries a characteristic. Only if you're a twat. He was makin

>You're saying a black person who grows up in a white subculture then is less at risk of poverty? I call bullshit on that. Do you mean they're less at risk of poverty than a black person who grows up in typical black subculture
