Putin can’t vote.

I know it’s cool to hate on The Big Bang Theory, but i loved his cameos on that show. He made fun of himself, and to a certain extent, the fandom, but the tone was so silly and self-aware, i loved it.

RIP

Just because it was the dominant religion in Germany at the time doesn’t mean that Nazism equated with religiosity. In fact, Hitler did not like religion being a potential rival to his power. The Nazi doctrine was very humanist, and drew,a lot of influence from science at the time. For example, the survival of the fittest mantra that had been popularized from Darwin’s studies was misappropriated by Nazi as part of their eugenics philosophy…

There were assholes before religion. Putting an emphasis on it being the problem is naive, imo. History is full of secular assholes. I.e. nazis.

There is a really funny South Park episode about this… Bottom line is assholes will be assholes with or without religion, which is just a convenient excuse for assholery.

But someone can make a board complaint if they can demonstrate false statements made by a member of the bar in connection with their representation. Chances are, nothing will happen… But it’s something.

Jewish communities are often insular, which leads to an impression of otherness. Orthodox Jews may not frequent non-jewish run restaurants or other businesses due to religious restrictions/ pressure (i.e dietary restrictions). Often, those communities congregate in the same neighborhoods, within walking distance of synagogues and schools (prohibitions against driving on the Sabbath). There is pressure to frequent businesses and professional services of those neighbors. Also, the closer you live to someone, the more likely you are to have a relationship with those people (propinquity), which strengthens community integration. They are a minority religion, with obstacles to new participants joining. They may dress in identifiable ways. Wrap all of that together and you have a group of people that are often easily identified and perhaps perceived as “too good for” my restaurant, or my store or my school…etc… they become easy targets for hate.

Ironically, almost everyone else does the same thing, it’s just less noticable especially in larger cities or towns. But go to any small town, and it’ll be easier to see the similarities. Again people’s relationships are strongly informed by religion and propinquity… But because they are a blue eyed 'merican, who never misses the baptist sermon on sunday, and wouldn’t be caught dead in Pam’s hair salon because word on the street is she might be gay, they are seen as “normal.”

Praise the sun.

I was raised in the city…shitty…ever since i was an iddy biddy kiddy drinking liquor out my mama’s tiddy.

Technically, both gun ownership rights and abortion rights were based on supreme Court interpretation of the 2nd and 14th amendments (respectively). Given the reversal of the right to abortion under the 14th amendment, an argument could be made that a similar reversal is due for the 2nd amendment as well. The 2nd amendment could simply be interpreted to mean that gun ownership is only a right as part of a "well regulated militia.'. In my opinion, that is the plain meaning of the provision anyway, but I’m just a gun toting liberal that doesn’t get sexually aroused or validated by the size of my firearm.

All Tool albums Lateralus and later.

That’s a key component of the flat earth ideology. They are idiots. Don’t be an idiot.

He didn’t say it was good age. He simply stated what his life experience was.

If so, then they are horrible scientists.

I was thinking New Zealand but only because I assumed the picture was recent. Probably wrong.

Best way to do it imo

They were drawing comparisons as to the process, not the substance or severity of the crimes.

“science”… That’s just a road to hell with extra steps.

No thanks. Sounds too much like republican strategy to me.
