LULZ! I didn't expect a real explanation, so I can't say that I'm disappointed.
Your boyfriend wouldn't get snipped for the team? What if you meet another dude you really like and decide you want to have kids?
All he has to do is identify as a woman, since that automatically will help him conceive children.
I was saying if those are my two choices, which in this political climate it is, I choose anything over welfare. Give my money to a freaking circus monkey before it goes to someone on welfare who keep reproducing.
Right, and I was saying give my money to the starving child, not the bullets or bombs to kill them.
Now, if you wanna add the circus monkey in there as a variable, I'm open to that.
ANTIFA authoritarian douche nozzles causing problems in Oregon again. At least a few of them got arrested this time.

- I think I have a new favorite term. Hispandering.
- Bill "Slumlord" DeBlasio, without even knowing it, invoking Che Guevara, which went over real well in Florida. LMFAO!
Two of my favorite people talking about the ills of the government.

Ducey blasts Nike for pulling 'Betsy Ross flag' shoe, vows to pull incentives for Arizona plant

I understand this governor being fed up with this outrage culture I also agree that Kapernick is a grandstanding idiot. I'm also not a big fan of giving massive corporations an advantage against everyone else, but I don't know if I agree with him here. Your duty is to bring in jobs for your constituents. He doesn't need to go AOC-level retarded here.

Someone as stupid as Kaep will try to link it to slavery, but it represents the country that has done the most for minorities in the history of the world.
I recently heard that Virginia is no longer going to "celebrate" Thomas Jefferson Day. You take away Thomas Jefferson, and you can guarantee that we're still under English rule. Now, I don't know how that translates into the existence of slavery, or any other flaw, or correction, that American society needed to correct. But, Jefferson was an incredibly wise person and his contemporaries (even the ones who didn't own slaves) agreed.
People need to understand that slavery was a societal problem. It didn't just happen in the US, and it didn't just happen to black people. Hell, there are still some places in the world that have slavery. Most countries realized it was wrong, others still haven't.
I'm wondering if it is reminiscent of the Stars and Bars with the stars arranged in a circle in the blue canton.
It never ceases to amaze me how people adhere to symbols and associate their entire attitudes based on the images and symbols. And, that includes NOT recognizing the symbols! Georgia changed its flag from this (which was unacceptable):
to this:
And, some people never even realize that the present flag is much more of a reflection of the CSA flag than it was before! But, the recognition of that battle flag is mush more controversial, especially now.
Well, it it has happened throughout history. But, I'm not sure how much that matters in terms of how our society- now- is dealing with what happened then. If someone experiences a trauma, and then they get told "You're not the only person to have experienced that." I'm not sure how much that consoles the person.
Just to be safe, they should probably shut down UVA. Why would anyone want to be associated with a college founded by such a horrible person?
The trauma of being bought and sold and owned as property? No one, that I'm aware of.
It's interesting that Jefferson never wanted to be remembered for his presidency.
Thomas Paine abhorred slavery and gave Jefferson half of his ideas. Maybe we should have more holidays for him.
And all of Washington DC. And the constitution. And the Monroe Doctrine.
Yeah, this is the best way to view it. Everyone in that era was what we would call insanely racist today.
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Washington were wealthy white men from Virginia...every single person of that status owned slaves in America south of like Delaware.
Condemn the society for being that way. Condemn the hundreds of founding fathers and tens of thousands of people who agreed with the 3/5ths compromise.
Picking and choosing individuals in this instance seems like a poor place to put blame.
I’m a fan of both. But I think Paine was the real intellectual heavyweight. His writing was the inspiration for American Revolution. He could have been the greatest president in American history IMO
That’s what happens when you judge historical figures by today’s standards. I wonder what common thing people do today will tarnish their reputation in the future. My guess is driving fossil fuel cars. Nelson Mandela, sorry dude you did some good and all, but you drove in gas powered cars... the future will have no place for honoring a heathen like that who couldn’t be bothered looking out for the environment.
The craziest part of all of this is that the people in the North were the insanely religious people. The folks of the South? The plantation owners? They were more about profits, which is what drove slavery. It's pretty interesting when you look at the common day political landscape.
Since he had a connection to Jefferson, his memory and ideas should be shunned.
The Southerners were very religious, too. They used Scripture to reaffirm the institution.
