What bugs me most is that this is thinly cloaked in "religious freedom." What if your religion is simply that you dont want a baby? Furthermore, it is cheaper to pay for contraception than it is to pay for a baby. Just sayin...https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/trump-just-made-it-so-employers-can-refuse-pay-birth-n808386
It still boggles my simple mind that we've made so much progress understanding medicine and the human body, and we STILL have people arguing that every ejaculation is a precious maybe-baby load and should be treasured. Hasn't the papacy even given contraception two thumbs up?

"I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is." - Sister Joan Chittister
Cant see, but would like the list.
Because golf?
"This is not about the military, this is not about the flag, this is not about the anthem,” 49ers Safety Eric Reid later told reporters. “My mother served in the armed forces. Three of my uncles served … I have the utmost respect for the military, for the anthem, for the flag … This is about systemic oppression that has been rampant in this country … I will keep doing what I feel is necessary, to use the platform that I have, to make changes. It's really disheartening when everything you were raised on, everything I was raised on, was to be the best person I can be, to help people who need help, and the vice president of the United States is trying to confuse the message that we're trying to put out there. I don't know what to say about it.”
basically it's the old mentality that black people:
I'm wondering how long before someone finally goes public calling them "uppity N-words". Feels like it's only a matter of time...
in the aftermath of the steelers no-show during the anthem, some pennsyltucky mouth breather referred to head coach mike tomlin as a "no-good n_____"
Not just a run of the mill mouth breather, a government official. Fire Chief IIRC.
now former fire chief.
some days i get scared about major cataclysmic events (like the yellowstone supervolcano finally erupting), some days i think "thank goodness"
Some day we'll all be relegated to the annals of history for some alien civilization to discover and wonder what in the actual fuck.
We have been tracking President Trump’s false or misleading claims for more than seven months. Somewhere around Aug. 4 or Aug. 5, he broke 1,000 claims, and the tally now stands at 1,057. (Our full interactive graphic can be found here.)
"A sitting Republican senator acknowledging that the president of the United States lies on Twitter regularly. So, yeah."
So....he's a fucking moron? That what I'm gathering?
That word is, I believe, buried somewhere in this thread already. Pretty sure I first learned of it from @Westy.
ah man, he's my favorite super hero!
thnx
...because the die hards aren‘t racist.
Not all of them. My parents, for example aren't racist, yet don't believe Trump is. My Dad even warned me recently about dealing with a particular person because of their prejudices. Yet can't see it in Herr Twitler. I suspect FoxNews has a lot to do with it....because the die hards aren‘t racist.
I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what racism is with many people. Many people, who are racist, think that racism is "hating" another race, while it is also, and more commonly, unconscious biases that make people act a certain way towards certain races that isn't "equal" to how they act towards other races. I know I'm racist, I can't deny that I have biases, but I'm aware of this and I try to overcome it/not let it affect me. I think anyone claiming that they do not "I'm the least racist person" is full of shit, and that's the real problem, the lack of understanding of what the problem is. Police officer shoots a black man that gets out of his car at a traffic stop, while they "trust" a white person to do the same thing and don't immediately shoot them. The police officer is probably not doing this because they "hate" black people, they are doing it because they are conditioned to act this way and in many cases, they don't even realize the bias and that they treat people of different races differently, according to their race.
