| *whew* This thread went better than I anticipated. Thank you all. When I was younger, I was fascinated by the "men's rights movement". I abandoned them when I realized that most of them are extremely right-wing. I've noticed that some right-wingers have been talking about men's issues late... |

| Alright everyone. I need to release something that I have been bottling up for years due to the fear of being called a "crybaby" or whatever. Let's talk about men's issues. Men have a higher suicide rate than women. That's a fact. In most countries, man can be drafted and women cannot. Men... |

| Arian Christianity was also persecuted during the Middle Ages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianism Arian Christians believe that Jesus was subordinate to God, rather than being the same entity as God. Seems like a minor difference? Well … the Medieval Catholic Church regarded it as heresy. The Ar... |

That reminds me of the Simpsons episode in which Bart has to stay at the Flanders house for a while.
Bart: Hey. Where's the dice?
Todd: Daddy says that dice are hexed.
Rodd: We just move one space at a time. It's less fun that way. |

| Mexico is going to pay for it. No they aren't. I doubt that Trump is going to force them. If Trump does try to force Mexico to pay for the wall using threats of violence, the rest of the world will turn on Trump and the American economy with be destroyed.
