I’m sorry, but I still can’t place blame at the feet of civilians not staging a bloody coup against their government in order to stop future terror attacks against Israel, a country that has been segregating them and killing them at alarming rates. How many Venezulean boats need to be bombed...

Isn’t hosting one of these actually awful for the residents? Would be a bit of an own goal to welcome the world to Birmingham, Alabama where they can’t get a hotel room and stadiums would need to be built.

Not that I would be surprised by the trend holding for trans students, but isn’t this only showing percentages of those who identify as non-binary?

That’s where you lose me. But yes, I’m certainly willing to throw away the key at 3 rape or murder convictions. Hell, I’d say 2. Physical assault is kind of context-dependent, but I could see some arguments for 3 strikes on felony assaults.

Governments run by terrorist groups don’t tend to be particularly open to changes in leadership.

My contention is not that Israel wanted to kill civilians. It’s that they didn’t do a whole lot to stop it from happening en masse.

I understand that perfectly well. I also just understand that Israel did an incredibly efficient job of making a lot of civilians cease to exist as well. Turns out it’s awful to be a Palestinian because both your government and Israel will kill you.

Am I supposed to look at rhetoric over action now?

Not today, but they sure did it a lot the past two years.

Would it be less bad if these people had a building collapsed on them?

We could have more interesting conversations if you wouldn’t resort to putting words in my mouth that I’ve explicitly said I don’t agree with.

No, this isn’t it. I just don’t trust the Republican Party to come up with a system I support either.

Another person who should be able to sue the government into oblivion. If ICE is doing surgical, targeted missions and not simply harassing brown people, how was their intel that bad?

If we’re being that literal, one cannot be Hitler unless they were an Austrian art student with a silly mustache. It’s a short-hand for a genocidal dictator. As such, Trump is not Hitler, just as Barack Obama was not Hitler despite the claims of portions of the right. Obviously the holocaust...

They’re not, I simply answered his question. But it does provide some context to why a number alone is insufficient for me in this discussion. Criminal justice is more complicated, and yes, nuanced than that. There’s still no world in which a person convicted of 45 crimes should be on the...

This is a lot of intent being projected on a joke I’m making about Italy.

I’m not accusing Trump of being Hitler, but a surprising amount of discourse today rests on the faulty premise that one cannot be like Hitler unless their target is explicitly Jewish people.

You’re the one using “traditional” alliances as a point in Trump’s favor. I’m merely pointing out that traditionally, Italy in this state isn’t the best option for this argument.

Underage drinking in Ohio. Please don’t send me to the Gulag if I get arrested again. But I answered your question. A number alone doesn’t work for me because you can be arrested for things ranging from disorderly conduct up to murder. At ten convictions, I’d think someone should be sentenced...
