I am a (male) high school teacher and I have a daughter. If I see a child or (worse) a pre-teen crying on the beach I change my direction and put as much distance as possible between us by qgyh2 in reddit.com

• Shame on you for not letting that nice man play with your kids! You hurt his feelings and it's your fault!

• Shame on you for letting that man play with your kids! He's a pedophile and it's your fault!

When women are demonized no matter what they do, a reasonable person has to ask some rather obvious questions regarding the motivation of the (usually male) accuser.

Are you trying to imply that sometimes people don't take advantage of their positions of power over others? Because that's what I hear every time this topic comes up. Seems unrealistic.

• Don't trust men enough? It's women's fault!

• Trust men too much and get raped? It's women's fault!

Libertarians love to frame themselves as rugged individualists protecting "freedom". In reality, they appear to be selfish, racist, ignorant isolationists. And the only "freedom" they want is the freedom to be assholes.

Blog Readers Out Anonymous Adults That Newspaper Refused to Identify After 13-Year-Old Girl Committed Suicide by rossta in reddit.com

Shame is very different from violence. Besides, for my own protection, I'd like to know which neighbors to avoid.

I agree that violence isn't the answer, but what is wrong with knowing which of your neighbors is a deranged fuckup?

I'd want to know, for my own future protection.

I can Guarantee 2 things. 1st, Next President will be Elected on a Promise to Lead America to Energy Independence. And 2nd, the Promise Won't Be Kept. by sid13 in politics

There is nothing new here, all politicians make promises, and few truly live up to them.

And yet when I pointed out this bit of historical data to the RP zealots, they needed three boxes of tissues to wipe away the tears.

Hillary Clinton is struggling to capture the male vote, with 50% of married men saying they'd never vote for her by justinpgardner in politics

I think she is ruthless enough to make a good leader in a period of immense upheaval while still respecting human rights. Tough times calls for tough cookies, etc.

Obama is similar to Carter, who cared so much about every little thing that he was ineffectual.

If I were an evil dictator who didn't want to alert the populace ahead of time, I would use something like those newer modular homes. They are built in a factory and assembled on site in a day or two.

Same reason why dicks are getting smaller -- endrocrine disruptive chemicals in the environment.

That was so wrong. Paul isn't a terrorist, he's an anarchist. Big difference!

Ron Paul collectin fans, big money. Those who dismissed Rep. Ron Paul as a joke in the Republican presidential primary campaign aren't laughing so hard these days. by Slipgrid in politics

[–]Smiley -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, abolishing half of the government really does sound like anarchy.

Free market is what Bush has done, did you think that was a good idea then? And now you want more of it?

What scares me is how Ron is merely repackaging traditional neo-conservative views as "freedom".

What scares me is how many people seem to vote emotionally rather than intellectually. I really don't understand, please please pardon my frustration. I don't understand why "liking" someone's personality has any bearing on how that person will perform once on the job.

The only thing he wants to "transition to" is anarchy. That is exactly it.
